You might find the following website of interest: http://www.soulsofdistortion.nl/2012_freemasons_revelations.html
The occult teaching of freemasonry is very heavy on astronomical/astrological matters. Scroll down the page until you come to the heading Jacob's Ladder for the astrological/qabalistic meaning. For good measure it is probably necessary to understand that the title "Jacobs Ladder" (accessible in the dream-world in other words) actually refers to the Qabalah - and the glyph of the Tree of Life, extended out into the four worlds: https://janeadamsart.files.wordpress.com...agram1.jpg
I would additionally note that Freemasonic occult lore is very heavily based on the Qabalah.
I would add that I wouldn't take too seriously some other statements by the writer of the lined website - for example that Leonardo Da Vinci was a Freemason. In Leonardo's day there was not such thing as Freemasonry. The latter is understood to have been founded in 1717, whereas Leonardo died in 1519. This, however, is not to say that there were prior occult fraternities stretching back into history. There were.
Lastly, Sir Francis Bacon was, like Leonardo, a polymath and was schooled in the occult.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
