[QUOTE="sdh3, post: 570678, member: 17784"] The 70th five-pointed star is comprised of the following Sabian symbols: Capricorn 16: Boys and girls in gymnasium suits Leo 22 : A carrier pigeon Pisces 28: A fertile garden under the full moon Scorpio 4: A youth holding a lighted candle Gemini 10: An airplane falling I've seen these five symbols used together in a few stories before, a few of which have to do with NASA and rockets. A notable example is 1999 movie [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132477/"]"October Sky"[/URL] which IMDb summarizes as follows: "The true story of Homer Hickam, a coal miner's son who was inspired by the first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry against his father's wishes." Hickam eventually became a NASA engineer. The title of the movie is an anagram of "Rocket Boys" the term used in the film to describe the four high school boys--Hickam among them--that begin experimenting with rocketry in the wake of the Sputnik launch. Here's how the symbols factor into the story. First note that two symbols imply flight and flying, and by extension, air and space: Leo 22 (A carrier pigeon) and Gemini 10 (an airplane falling) which are separated by 72-degrees. There are two more symbols that imply young people: Capricorn 16 (Boys and girls in gymnasium suits) and Scorpio 4 (A youth holding a lighted candle). These are also separated by 72 degrees. The rocket is implied by Scorpio 4 and one or both flight-related symbols. That's because a a rocket launching looks like an inverted candle in flight. Lest you think this is overly imaginative on my part--which, by the way, I would take as a compliment--this is not an original observation. The phrase is attributed to former NASA astronaut Alan Shepherd "who in 1961 became the second person and the first American to travel into space." In fact, his authorized biography is entitled "Light This Candle: The Life & Times of Alan Shepard, America's First Spaceman."
