The evil planetary archons may be said to be bounded or even "crucified" in these signs.

Now, it is curious what says Matthew 18:18:
(NIV)
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
If who is bounded on earth is really crucified in heaven (binding = crucifying), then the 12 apostles are receiving the power of judging the same 12 evil archons, by being able to crucify them in the relative zodiacal signs of the heaven.
But then, what does it mean the "loosing" on earth?
The Best Disciple Joseph from Arimathea "loosed" Jesus on earth by removing him from the cross.
By the same parallelism, does this allegorize the end of the same astral crucifixion of Jesus in heaven?
