Thank you, songwriter. I'm enjoying these interpretations. I've read Dane Rudhyar's, but these are helping me look at them in fresh ways. My Sun, Moon, and t.ASC (5 Sco) all seem to have a theme of pushing forward, of striving toward something more. Please sir, may I have some more? Venus 13-14 Cap Mars 7-8 Virgo Saturn 26-27 Virgo SN 2-3 Pisces I apologize, I know I'm a glutton! IP: Logged |

"I apologize, I know I'm a glutton!" No, you're not! Eve, I want to buy a book on Sabian Symbols, but cant decide which one to buy. Did you like the interpretations in Dane Rudhyar's book? It would be great if you could provide me an example >> Sun 13-14 deg Aries. Thank you very much! eve Venus 13-14 deg Capricorn "An Ancient Bas-Relief Carved In Granite Remains A Witness To A Long-Forgotten Culture" Man's power to leave permanent records of his achievements. Personal immortality. Fecundation of future by past. Assurance. Mars 7-8 deg Virgo "A Five-Year-Old Child Takes A First Dancing Lesson" Have you ever taken dance lessons? Early social conditioning of the superior elements of being. Proper start in self-discipline. Conventional development. Saturn 26-27 deg Virgo "A Group Of Aristocratic Ladies Meet Ceremonially At A Court's Function" Preservation of social and cultural values. Inward, unobtrusive superiority, or else pure smugness. Prestige of position. SN 2-3 deg Pisces "Petrified Tree Trunks Lie Broken On Desert Sand" Mastery of form over substance. Archetypal immortality. Conscious handling of existence.

songwriter - You are too kind. And you gotta be kidding me about your Sun placement! That is the degree that keeps popping up in my life. So freaky. It also happens to be the degree of my Venus in my SN Persona chart. I'm ashamed to admit that besides being a glutton, I am also a thieving cheapskate. I don't own Rudhyar's book. I've read his Sabians at this site. His interpretations are lengthy. His interp for this degree is especially long. quote: PHASE 14 (ARIES 14°): A SERPENT COILING NEAR A MAN AND A WOMAN. KEYNOTE: Identification in bipolar relationship with the impersonal rhythm of natural energy. The symbol for Phase 4 pictures a man and a woman in love walking together. At this new and more mentally stimulated level of experience and consciousness, a third factor appears: the serpent, whose coiling represents the spiral-like process of evolution - not merely "sex" according to the maker of cathartic symbols, Sigmund Freud. We can understand this "triangular" image — man, woman and the serpent — if we relate it to the preceding one in the series, the unexploded bomb of the anarchist or activist. The urge to blow up some structure which somehow has become in the activist's mind a symbol of the Establishment — the ruling elite — is usually the protest of an alienated and often immature mind that refuses relationship, because in the relationship he would occupy a subservient position. In this symbol, the serpent represents the acceptance of relationship by the two polarized human beings. There must be a polarization before there can be fulfillment. The tragedy of so many contemporary lives is that, having become sharply individualized, the men and women cannot find their truly matching polar-opposite. Because they are not fulfilled at the root level of human emotions and vitalistic forces, they pass their lives seeking the ideal complement, often glamorized as the "soul mate." This search can find its expression at several levels. At the mystical level we have the examples of the "spiritual marriage" of Saint Francis of Assisi and Santa Clara, or recently of Sri Aurobindo and Mother Mira. The Adam and Eve story (in Hebrew, Ish and Isha - much more significant names!) refers to this principle of polarization, although the story has been turned upside down by priestly intellects to serve their purposes. Adam and Eve accepted the Presence, not of the Tempter, but of the Individualizer, who sought to have them born out of the womb of unconscious passivity to Nature's God. But the result of the experience frightened them. They "hid"; they failed in the great test of individualization, and in this sense the archetype of that failure is deeply imbedded in man's generic unconscious. It is repeated time after time. Modern "individuals" are confronted with another test, but they do not understand its meaning. It is the test of polarized conscious participation in the evolutionary process - a polarization that could dissolve alienation, isolation and egocentricity. In a sense at least, this was the old Tantric concept in India; but today many young people accept the concept only superficially and miss its real essence. They cannot understand the meaning of entering into the serpent, i.e. of developing eonic consciousness and that transpersonal living which once was characterized by the words: Not I live, but Christ lives me - Christ, whose symbolic number in Gnosticism is 888. At this fourth stage of the third five-fold sequence, we are confronted with an image suggesting the transpersonal way to the "cosmification" of desire and the conscious acceptance of polarization as the solution of the problems generated by individualization. But this need not mean what is currently meant by "sex" and the glorification of the orgasm. It implies rather the RITUALIZATION OF RELATIONSHIP

Thank you so much, Songwriter! "A Man Watches His Ideals Taking A Concrete Form Before His Inner Vision" - This is interesting. I'm writing a (spiritually themed) book right now, do you think this could apply or am I way off here? IP: Logged |

I also think it may be about that, Shankara.katatonic Sun 17-18 deg Leo "A Chemist Conducts An Experiment For His Students" Practical application of principles to ordinary life. Active enlightment; or forced awakening to inner potentialities. Moon 0-1 deg Pisces "In A Crowded Marketplace Farmers And Middlemen Display A Great Variety Of Products" The social nature of human responsibilities. A last-moment, joyous rallying to a task. Seed synthesis at the end of cycles. Asc 4-5 deg Aquarius "A Council Of Ancestors Is Seen Implementing Thee Efforts Of A Young Leader" The rich ancestral heritage of every individual, which is the potent foundation of character. Direct, real inspiration. NN 18-19 deg Aries "The "Magic Carpet" Of Oriental Imagery" Capacity to transform everyday life by the power of creative significance; or escape in idle fancy. Uranus 3-4 deg Cancer "A Cat Arguing With A Mouse" (Tom & Jerry?) The urge to self-justification through intellectual sophistry or social-ethical considerations. Sense of self-righteousness.

oneruledbymarsSun 25-26 deg Aries "A Man Possessed Of More Gifts Than He Can Hold" Supreme endowment, and inexhaustibility of resources in all possible life realms. Sometimes obsession by potentiality. Moon 17-18 deg Sagittarius "Children Playing On The Beach, Their Heads Protected By Sunbonnets" The protective agency which safeguards the free behaviour of individuals. Vivifying conctact with collective life-energies. Asc 7-8 deg Virgo "A Five-Year-Old Child Takes A First Dancing Lesson" Early social conditioning of the superior elements of being. Proper start in self-discipline. Conventional development. IP: Logged |
