Here are some interesting excerpts:

Edgar Cayce and the twelve apostles of the Zodiac:  The following information reinforces the connection between the twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve apostles of Jesus, and the twelve Elders of the Council.

(1)
Edgar Cayce revealed through his near-death journeys that the twelve apostles of Christ were representatives of the twelve signs of the zodiac. He said the stars represent soul patterns, not experiences. The twelve signs of the zodiac are twelve patterns from which the soul chooses when coming into the earth realm. They are like races - patterns of temperament, personality, etc. The star signs of the zodiac, for instance, influence people in subtle ways: by making some people bull-headed, or some people emotional, or some people timid, or some people introspective, based on the zodiac pattern chosen. [Reference 2823-1]


Edgar Cayce's experiences with planetary/afterlife realms:  The following is a brief summary of Cayce's astrological revelations based on his near-death experiences:

Reality is multi-dimensional. We are multi-dimensional beings who exist simultaneously in a multi-dimensional reality. Long ago, our bodies evolved from primates. Even longer ago, our minds evolved from the stars. But before the universe began, our spirits existed forever as part of the divine in higher dimensions. At the conscious (physical) level, our bodies are like a miniature replica of the solar system. Our hearts perform the function of the sun - the center of the system. Other organs within our body are also used by our souls to find a means of expression. The planets exert astrological vibrations upon our bodies that influence our personalities and soul patterns. At the subconscious (soul) level, the solar system is our larger body. We are connected to the planets, the stars, spiritual realms and entities. On the superconscious (spirit) level, we are one with the Whole. At this level, we are on a conscious level with all there is - the divine.

Solar systems were created for our souls to have cycles of life experiences for the purpose of spiritual advancement. The universe can be thought of as a gigantic university and each solar system as a college. Each planet is like a particular classroom - a realm - where souls can learn lessons related to that particular realm. The universe is the third dimension in the hierarchy and represents three-dimensional life. Other dimensions in the afterlife hierarchy represent other-dimensional life. Each planet in our solar system is a representation of a different dimension in the hierarchy. The planet Earth represents three-dimensional life. The planet Mercury represents the second dimension. The planet Venus represents the fourth dimension. Cayce referred to the various afterlife dimensions by using the name of the planet associated with it. For example, when Cayce referred to souls sojourning through Venus, he was referring to souls experiencing the afterlife dimension associated astrologically with the planet Venus. He did not mean that people were actually living on the planet Venus.

The planets exert an astrological influence on us the moment we enter this world. These astrological planetary influences originate from the corresponding afterlife dimensions our souls have sojourned through before our current earth experience and in between earth lives. The purpose of these astrological influences is to provide particular life lessons that we need to learn and for which we are tested on earth.
