Hi all,
I'm just posting to share a weird experience I had with the Sabian Symbols on the Astrology Weekly site.
I was browsing through the site, when I decided to use the Sabian Symbols generator. I didn't have any particular question in mind, so I just emptied my thoughts and just opened up to whatever came. The symbol generated was:
VIRGO 10:''TWO HEADS LOOKING OUT AND BEYOND THE SHADOWS.''
This caught my interest, because my descendant is at Virgo 10. I wondered what this may have meant, but I didn't give the symbol much consideration.
Straight after, I went onto the William Lilly Horary section, where I read the 'Philosopher's Stone' reading from Christian Astrology. Upon reaching the bottom of the text, I was struck by the bold type sentence:
''Virgo 10: Two heads looking out and beyond the shadows''!
I was amazed at this coincidence, as this is the sabian symbol I had just generated, but had thought little about.
Above the Sabian phrase there is a symbolic representation of the Philosophers Stone, featuring a dragon with two heads with necks entwined, one with the Sun at one side and one with the Moon at the other.
I was so suprised about this occurance that it caused me to look at my chart and think about this at bit more. I knew that my descendant was Virgo 10, but then I noticed something significant. The Sun and Moon in the alchemical drawing in the Lilly article, made me mindful of the Sun and the Moon in my chart. Then I realised. My Sun and Moon midpoint is at Virgo 10 conjunct my descendant. (Two heads=Sun/Moon, looking out and beyond the shadows=DC).
I found it strange and deeply personal, and I wonder what message is being related in this occurance. How odd, that a set of seemingly arbitrary, random and nonsense set of sentences can, even without intending it can have such a direct resonance. I had already ignored the symbol once, and then it jumped out at me again, and caused me to discover the Sun/Moon connection. Weird!
When I have tried before to generate a symbol wanting a specific answer, I have never been able to make much sense of it. When I drew the symbol I didn't give it any prior thought. Perhaps the more spontaneous the draw the more significant the symbol? Who knows? Try it. It has certainly given me something to think about.
Somehow it seems that we can't will these things to happen, synchronicity seems to slip through when you don't expect it.
