Hi Kite and everyone else,
I have been reading the material that Kite posted on the Sabian Symbols and have two questions for those who use the system a lot:
1) On a planet in retrograde motion, would you still round up or would you round down to the degree where the retrograde motion is heading?
2) I noticed that besides giving the sign degree, there is the actual degree on the chart (1° for the cusp of the first house to 360° for the end of the 12th house). If one wanted more information, would one read both the sign degree and the actual degree on the wheel the planet is at?
For example, my Moon is at 16° Sag 19' in the first house, which means it would be at 9° on the wheel. These are the Sabian Symbols for both:
Sagittarius 17°
PEOPLE GATHER BEFORE DAWN FOR AN OUTDOOR EASTER SERVICE Spiritual living in conformity to natural law. Coming out of doubt and despair. Unwavering faith in a near higher power.
___*When positive, the degree is an unusual realization of immortal resources and an ability to employ them wisely, and when negative, overconcern with superficial form and ceremony.
9° of wheel:
A SEER GAZES WITH CONCENTRATION INTO A CRYSTAL SPHERE Direction from within. Taking advantage of all factors in a given situation, and knowing when to make decisions. Assurance.
___*When positive, the degree is consummate insight in planning the course of events or organizing them in the light of immediate convenience, and when negative, an idle curiosity and a surrender of all reality to the vagaries of the moment.
Thanks!
