You are all most welcome, fellow Knowflakes! 
I'm glad so many of you feel that the symbols resonate for you. It's facinating stuff. I don't remember exactly how I heard about the symbols but the initial idea of it really caught my interest and I'd heard that Dane R. had a really good book about them....and so here we are.
I haven't read M.E. Jones book on the subject, however.
I did come across this cool website that uses the symbols-
The Sabian Symbols as an Oracle
Ask a question, push the button and *bing*- you get a symbol and short description. It's fun and potentially addictive.
I think it would be great to actually have a deck of cards with graphic depictions of the symbols, but alas, I haven't come across any.
