The Egyptians believed that the constellations were the representation of the pantheistic Gods and Goddesses.
Ecliptic: is the apparent path of the sun as seen from the earth, divided into the 12 major consellations that make up the ecliptic.
The Egyptians believed that the heavens were imbued with the magical and mystical properties of their Gods and Goddesses.
And they believed that they could channel their energies by reflecting the constellations in their architecture on the ground below.
An example: the layout of the Pyramids of Giza which the Egyptians built to reflect the celestial grouping known as Orion's belt.

a triangle pointing upward or above, is accompanied by a second triangle pointing downward below.
When combined they form a hexagram commonly recognized as the
Star of David, Seal of Solomon. One of the most dominant symbols of the occult.

as above (sky) - it denotes whether heaven or hell
so below (earth): - it denotes the earth (present view of the environment)
as within (inside of you) - it denotes good or bad things found inside of you
so without (outside of you) - it denotes list of events happen outside of the world
In-depth astrology considers the influence of all the solar sytsem celestial bodies, following the positions of the Sun, Saturn and even Pluto.
As the celestial bodies travel through the ecliptic, the apparent path they trace as seen from the earth, astrologys believe they form influental aspects to each other.
This in-depth astrology is used in occult circles, auch as secret societies with its complex occult symbolism.
The Freemasons use astrology in their symbolic art.

In esoteric thought,
in everything that is above is reflected down below, and everything that is down here has a supernatural macrocosmic origin.
"As above so below" is repeatedly symbolized in the esoteric art and a variety of symbols.
Esoterics believe this same principle of reflection can be found in nature. With bodies of water providing a mirror as a picture of the hermetic Maxim. With this in mind consider the placement of the reflecting pools in our nation's capital:
-Lincoln Memorial
-The US Capitol

At certain phases of the moon, spells and rituals work best. In the Wiccan cult, the modern witchcraft, the moon is worshiped and cultically worshiped by rituals.
