>This interconnection of positions between the major spirits of the East and West may be a further reflection of the intrinsic relationship between the Eastern and Western Cardinal Kings as emanatory aspects of Ashtoreth
>With Oriens representing the Eastern quadrant of the Solar and Zodiacal Cycles and Baall representing Belzebuth's Solar energy made manifest in those quarters, clear astrological and elemental aspects are evident in his person. His physical form, which alternates between that of a human, a toad, and a cat, reveals his kingship when in its human shape, while the other creatures he appears as resonate with the common beliefs of the Middle Ages that such beasts represented two of the most often used forms that daemons took when they came to a witch as a familiar. As the East's first and principal king, Baall is primarily a daemonic representative of the sign of Cardinal Fire, Aries, which is alluded to in the ram's head apparent in his seal in the Goetia of Solomon. The appearance of this glyph beneath a Vesica Piscis, which here symbolizes the female sexual organs as the vessel for the rebirth of the Sun at the vernal equinox, is notable, as is the passing physical similarity of the band that loops around it to the Double Loop of the Zodiac featured in Crowley's Book of Thoth
>Baall's Solar nature is also evident in the “grace he grants to all things”, which is comparable to the trait of nobility brought by the succedent, Sun-ruled decan of Aries, while the power of invisibility he grants is attributed to the powers of Sol in the Greater Key of Solomon. In Greek myth, the power of invisibility represents a connection between the Sun and the powers of the underworld due to the Helmet of Invisibility being an artifact of the god Pluto that was used by Hermes and Perseus to aid them against monstrous foes too dangerous to face while visible to them
