Here's the link: http://www.mindfire.ca/An Astrological Mandala/An Astrological Mandala - Contents.htm
If this link should stop working, mindfire may have pulled it offline again... they seem to do so periodically for some reason I can't figure out?.. If so, then google the words, mindfire, Sabian, Symbols, and google will provide you with the new link if mindfire has put it back online... as the previous link never works after they have pulled it.
The entire book, "An Astrological Mandala" can be read there except that they have nothing for chapter two of part three...which is about binary relationships between the Signs, but it's rather very advanced stuff and most would find it of little use and probably boring too. I do recommend reading as much of the book as you possibly can as to parts one and three, part two is all 360 of the Sabian Symbols and can be read as needed if you prefer?
The reason being for my recommendation is that I find that most people never do read the other parts of Dane's book and to fully appreciate what Dane has done, and why you should stick with Dane's presentation and analysis of the Sabian Symbols, you need to read all of the book.
He does give explanation as to why He and Marc Edmond Jones don't agree on how some of the symbols should be interpreted.
While it was Marc that first procured them and presented them, when Dane studied them He saw them for what they truly are, a process of transformation, which Marc did not recognize... and Dane did also spot which ones Marc had changed... as for what Marc changed them to didn't fit in.
