How to incorporate Sabian Symbols into my chart synthesis?

Hi PTV, thanks for taking the time to post that amist your busy schedule, it is greatly appreciated


The link that you provided is very interesting, and though it goes slightly above my head, I'm noticing a few interesting implications and connections (for instance the relation to the colors in the rainbow and the symbol at 26 leo being that of a rainbow... and then the connection to 7 colors and 7 chakras, 7 levels of evolution etc.)


Anyways it all makes sense in a theoretical way - math is the building block of the universe and astrology and music are two of the great applications of that math... it only makes sense that math can lead to the source AND that they can be found in one another just as the creator can be found in the creation (hmm...)


I'll have to read and reread that thread. And go read all of those symbols as well... I'm trying to refrain from asking too much but i'm curious.. you mentioned a quote about true paths of discipleship start at virgo. so why do you start at 0 aqua rather than 0 virgo?
I mean, i suppose i can see that virgo would be the first "jumping point" from aqua but.. why aqua 0 and virgo 22? i guess what i'm saying is what is the basis of picking those specific degrees? was it an intuitive thing.. or a connection to that sabian symbol?


some synchronicity on my chart:


I have points at 7 of those degrees listed, five of which are consequtive to one another.

Yes, you are right to say that i will be a "guide." I have always felt that drive in me to help others, since i was a child, and have made plenty of steps towards that path. Astrology is a great tool to do that. (when i first became "saved" back in october/november of 2011 i threw out all my astrology books... haha, i'm glad i got over that goofy, closeminded whim.)​

Thanks for the feedback and the compliment it's interesting to see which degrees i share with usa and i will have to do some more pondering on that as well.

My copy of An Astrological Mandala is held together by hair-ties and rubber bands. ---meaning I've been using the Sabian Symbols for many years.
I always take a look at the symbols for the angles, luminaries, and nodes, at the very least.
New moon or full moon charts--something of significance would be the degree symbol for where Mercury turns stationary- retrograde or direct.

The AC/IC/DC/MC as the "what", "how", "where it leads to", and "why", of a chart, is always fun to share with people.

I've even incorporated the Sabian Symbols to help in rectifying a natal chart' s time of birth.

Feel free to do a reading on my chart. I always welcome other's thoughts and viewpoints.

Hi metaphysica. Yes, i would love to interperet your chart with sabian symbols. I'm actually doing just that in another thread for someone else, so I will do yours when i am finished up with that one, another day or so most likely. (if you want to check it out: http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?p=470985&posted=1#post470985 )

regarding rectifications - i see exactly what you mean. i am very confident now that mine is correct down to the last minute. i wasn't sure before, even though my bc says 825, i was born in a car on the side of the road. but those axis symbols just "fit", moreso than at other degrees, so i know it is right.

Okay, got it ready.

I’m getting the picture of someone who has a very powerful ability to bring about new levels of existence through an imaginitive mind. You are here to CREATE new levels of existence – and the best way to go about doing that is by learning how to focus your mind.
I think the symbol for your sun sums a lot of it up nicely.

the south node is exactly conjunct Uranus... would you consider that a "good" or "bad" influence???

besides that, thank you for the layout. I've read the symbols before, but it was quite moving to me to read them like that.
Thank you!!! sincerely,
Meta

I am very happy that it moved you as the symbolism for your chart was moving to me as well, it is rather powerful.

Oh wow, yes.. omg didn't even notice that about uranus...

I'm not sure i would put it in terms of good or bad, because that is all dependent upon how you decide to utilize it. What it does is make a powerful connection, so you will feel some connection pulling you in your life path, whether you fall on the good side or the bad side of the uranian energy is up to you.. see, opposition axis points are two ends of a spectrum. so, the south node leads to the north node. you can tap into your north node potential through the south node.. by understanding it in order to move past it..

your uranus in the 12th house of sag has very unique ideas.. the connection between mercury and moon.. much sensitivity between the thinking and feeling aspect of life which creates an innovative belief set. the sabian symbolism also suggests a belief set that is very empowered by symbolism and tapping into earth wisdom. your uranus is balancing an opposition though so some of that might have come about through some struggles in communication. You have many ideas and an empowering mind but you might keep your innovations to yourself, you might be very independent with them. the north node in the 6th house of gemini is telling you to turn that innovative mind into something practical that can be utilized to help others and thus reach out and strengthen the fulfillment that was hiding within solitude.

the symbolism for your north node is about bridging the gap between communication. using ways to connect spiritually (Telepathically) to others so that you come to a higher state of existence with other people.

Uranus is the key away from your t-square (making harmonious aspects to the opposition) as well as the way to your north node.

it's about using your ingenuity to find innovative ways to connect society to one another, and thus connect yourself to your society and environment in a more effecient way.

Also i want to mention that you have a night time chart and two of the formulas to calculate the part of fortune and part of spirit were based on the night time calculations. (asc + sun - moon for spirit and asc +moon - sun for POF.) The other two readings that i've done so far were both night charts, but in both of those charts, the DAY TIME formula seemed most fitting within the context of the chart symbolism. I wasn't sure on yours so i used the night formula but you might want to consider that the symbolism for your part of fortune and part of spirit are reversed?

something really weird about my own chart, my part of hidden identity is at the symbol Taurus 7 that says: "the woman of samaria at the ancestral well." it talks about her being the woman that jesus decided to walk up to and say "i am he".. it relates oddly to my part of catastrophe at Cap 7 which says "a veiled prophet speaks, seized by the power of a God"...

and this is conjunct my Neptune, a degree away, at Cap 6 which is also conjunct the part of "corruptness" which the symbol keynote reads "the need to complete any undertaking before seeking entrance to whatever is found beyond" and talks of completing the cycle before reaching too far out into the next.

what in the world? i don't really understand how the part of catastrophe works and it's not making much sense to me. :\ It's soo ominous lol that i can't even begin to make it out......... ???????
