The seven lamps as the seven planets
Revelation 4:5 sets seven lamps of fire before the throne, "which are the seven Spirits of God". J. H. Hill reads them as the seven ancient planets, the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and counts the number seven in Revelation twenty-four times against twelve fourteen times.
That is his reading of the sky behind the text.
Tara Mata's seven attributes
Tara Mata reads the same seven as the seven attributes of Chittwa, the heart or universal magnetism: five electricities, Buddhi, intelligence, and Manas, mind. She equates them with the seven seals and the seven spirits, and the rainbow round the throne with their colors.
She ties these to the twenty-four elders as the twenty-four principles. The identification is hers and draws on the Hindu doctrine she restates from Sri Yukteswar.
