@ David
You have more in common with the trads than you might think, since Mars was of the nocturnal sect and his preferred domicile was Scorpio instead of Aries. The creative side of Mars makes itself known with the often spoken about Sexual component of Scorpion energy. Your system has a heavier focus on the mythological links which makes for a richer soup. I know you also mention the warrior component of Venusian energy a lot, as well as the light-bringer/luciferian linkages. Is this also a differentiated energy signature in 12/12? What about the dionysian link with Taurus? Some of Dionysus' epithets include Taurophagos and Tauropon.

I can't for the life of me remember where I saw that, but all the signs that had outer planetary rulers also shared with traditional rulers. So with Sagittarius - Jupiter/Neptune, Capricorn - Saturn/Uranus, Aquarius - Uranus/Saturn, Pisces - Neptune/Jupiter. Oh, and Aries - Mars/Pluto, Scorpio - Pluto/Mars.
The issue of "soul level" is encoded in esoteric astrology with the majority of humanity allegedly being on the mutable cross, which equates to regular, materialistic outflows. The materialistic and lustful nature of Capricorn would manifest on the lower "soul" levels while the issue of perfected form, spiritual love, luminous detachment from animal passions, the "divine architecture" and looking through the "one eye of the soul" would manifest on the higher, initiate levels - those on the cardinal cross.
