March 19 - April 18

The Element associated with Aries is Fire. Think action, enthusiasm and a burning desire to play the game. Arians love physicality, so they won't sit on the sidelines for long, if at all. They'll jump into the fray full force and will contribute much in the process. Talk about eager beavers! Sure, some of their decisions may later prove to have been hasty, but you'll never find an Arian who regretted taking a shot. Making things happen is what it's all about to these folks. Arians are also unafraid of stepping onto new terrain. The challenge inherent in taking on the unknown is heaven on Earth for Rams. Sure, they may appear arrogant when they take on the world, but they'll be quick to tell you it's the only way to go. While a common Arian refrain might well be 'me first,' there's no point in arguing with them since, in their minds, they are first. Is this unbridled ego? Maybe, but that might be what it takes to blaze a new trail. Oh, and on the subject of arguing, it's the Ram who will have the last word, so save your breath. Arians at play seem to toil as hard as they work. These folks are happiest playing a spirited game of soccer or engaging in the martial arts. In the game of love, the Ram's ardor is unquestioned, although Arians can also be playful and romantic with their mate. With Aries ruling the head, face and brain, those born under this Sign need to be on the lookout for headaches and are well-served to take the occasional deep breath. The Ram's color is bright red, a sure sign of the fire that breathes within. The great strength of the Aries-born is in their initiative, courage and determination. These folks love to get things going and are fearless along the way. Their dynamism and competitive spirit add considerably to the projects which they undertake.

March 19 - April 18ans.

These folks are bold, aggressive and courageous. They can summon up the inner strength required to take on most anyone, and they'll probably win. Arians do not lack energy or vitality, and they can stay in the game longer than most anyone else. Now that's a winning edge. Rams are also, for the most part, independent and well aware of their own interests in a given situation. This sometimes myopic view may not be for everyone, but it does help Arians get things going. Further, their competitive natures ensure that they will play the game with zeal and vigor. At times, their approach may be construed as arrogant and domineering, but it takes a lot of focus to be a leader (or so an Arian would say). Sadly, the Arian won't usually be around for the final victory (defeat? never). These folks will more than likely have bolted to the next project before the first one is done.

March 19 - April 18

Arians are ruled by the Planet Mars. Taking a peek at Roman mythology, we find that Mars was the God of War. Our man Mars was unafraid to do battle, and much the same can be said for Ari Arians are ruled by the Planet Mars. Taking a peek at Roman mythology, we find that Mars was the God of War.

Aries

Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac, and that's pretty much how those born under this Sign see themselves: first. Arians are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. Whether or not everything gets done is another question altogether, for Arians far prefer to initiate than to complete. Do you have a project needing a kick-start? Call an Aries, by all means. The leadership displayed by Arians is most impressive, so don't be surprised if they can rally the troops against seemingly insurmountable odds -- they have that kind of personal magnetism. Arians don't shy away from new ground, either. Those born under this Sign are often called the pioneers of the Zodiac, and it's their fearless trek into the unknown which often wins the day. Arians are a bundle of energy and dynamism and the Pied Piper of their people. The dawning of a new day, and all its possibilities, is pure bliss to an Arian. It's the Ram which symbolizes Aries, and that's both good and bad news. Impulsive Arians (and there are more than a few) might be tempted to ram their ideas down someone else's throat. If things get done for the greater good, that might even be okay. It's those times when an idea is force-fed by an Arian for no apparent reason that we wish this Sign's symbol were a more subdued creature. No go, since these folks are blunt and to the point. Along with those qualities comes the Arian's sheer force of being which can accomplish a great deal. Much of this drive to the finish line has to do with the Cardinal Quality assigned to Arians. Cardinal Signs love to get things going, and Arians exemplify this better than the rest.

Uranus in Taurus:

You are part of a 7 year group of people who are very progressive in business and practical matters, and implement scientific ideas in practical ways to make life more comfortable. Home appliances, for example, were improved and marketed by your age group to a much greater degree than was previously done. Your age group is also rather sensual and romantic, and is uninhibited in expressing romantic feelings. Your age group rebelled against repressive attitudes towards sexuality, and promoted overt expression of sexuality in movies, music, etc.

The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group

Neptune in Virgo: You are part of a 14 year group of people who are conservative and moderate in spiritual aspirations. Your age group tends to avoid speculation on metaphysical matters, and interest in psychic phenomena is considered very strange and weird by your age group. There is also a strong sense of right and wrong, and religious practices tend to emphasize ethics and moral judgment. The conservative, straight-laced atmosphere generated by your age group is frustrating to more imaginative types, who consequently rebelled against it. What is New and Different in Your Age Group

Section 7: Generational Influences: Your Age Group

The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group Pluto in Cancer: You are part of a 25 year group of people who have strong feelings for home and country. You are a sentimental group, and feel deeply attached to your family and your country. You cling to the familiar, are distrustful and fearful of different cultures, and consequently a great deal of racial and ethnic prejudice is common among your age group. Your need for closeness and togetherness runs very deep and causes you to bond closely to family members and old friends, and also makes you prone to be involved in mass movements and group activities because they feed your largely subconscious need for acceptance and support by others. Unfortunately, your age group is easily carried away by a group frenzy and many of you often lack the integrity or courage to think and act in an independent and rational way. Your generation is very emotional and tenderhearted. Many of your group sacrificed a great deal to help your children or other family members, while other generations are unwilling to give as much as you have. Your tender feelings and regard for the well-being of others can spur your age group to make contributions towards the feeding of the hungry, care for the neglected, and support for the needy, particularly children and mothers. You are a group of people with a strong heart and a helpful hand. Many of you have parents and/or children who are not nearly as supportive and helpful; many of your contributions are not completely appreciated or even go unnoticed.

N. Node in Capricorn:

You have a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that you are apt to overdo at times. For balance, you need to develop mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility. When under stress, you have a strong instinct to retreat back into the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, you may encourage others to depend upon you emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. You need to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of

Section 6: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You

You often have a sense of longing or homesickness for something you cannot name or specify, and you may have both a great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology. Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for you. Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which you instinctively and habitually revert to when under stress - a mostly unconscious process and one which you are apt to overdo because it is so familiar and thus easy for you. The direction you need to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Jupiter Trine Pluto:

Your sensitivity to the larger social context of a project gives you the perspective to discern good opportunities and attract successful pursuits. You are likely to achieve a high level of success in your career or business. Jupiter Conjunct Mercury/Mars You have the ability to think constructively and to mentally program yourself to be successful. Always looking for ways to broaden your understanding, you are a good critic and have sound judgment. You could do well as an orator or speaker.

Section 5: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy

Your strength lies in your unwillingness to settle for superficiality or shallowness in any area of your life. You are unafraid of going to extremes and experiencing the depths. The mysterious and the unknown are very attractive to you. Your intuitive understanding of others' inner drives and motivations is highly developed also.

Pluto Opposition Mars/Saturn

Sticking obstinately to your work, you have the ability to work long and hard, but tend to work yourself to exhaustion. You also could have intense conflicts with others, resulting in frequent run-ins or possible violent fights.

Pluto Conjunct Sun/Uranus

You seem to be in a continuous state of excitement, are quite aggressive and quick to anger. You want to be in control and are inclined to force your will on others. Your parents may be impatient and your up-bringing could have been too demanding.

Saturn Sextile Uranus:

In meeting your challenges and difficulties in life, you do have allies: your ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, your ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort. Remaining steady in the midst of crisis or sudden change is an aspect of this, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes. Your timing is usually good.

Mars Square Neptune:

Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. Work that serves only your own narrow personal interests does not satisfy you. You may lack the competitive edge, the fighting spirit, the me-first attitude that is often required for material advancement and success. You also tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.

Section 4: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals

: You are aspiring, enterprising, and forever following some bright and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating new potentials. You are definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material or spiritual sense (or both). You aim high and are not content simply with a quiet, secure existence. You like to stretch your limits, to see how far you can go, and to take risks. You are a positive thinker, expect success for yourself, and are philosophical about failures. You are flexible and bounce back from disappointment rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea you want to try. Your enthusiasm and confidence are contagious and enable you to enlist the aid and support you need for your projects. However, you sometimes promise more than you can actually achieve, because you are overly optimistic or pay insufficient attention to the practicalities involved. You also tend to get distracted and to have too many things going at once. Although it is very difficult for you, there are times when you simply must develop commitment, perseverance, and persistence in order to make your dreams and goals a concrete reality. Too often you fall short of what you could attain because you are unwilling to persist through the difficult or less exciting times. You also enjoy competition and usually do not take it too seriously. Sports and entrepreneurial endeavors are good ways to channel your energy.

Venus Opposition Uranus/N. Node

You are inclined to have sudden attachments to others and may fall in love quickly. You warm up to people very rapidly, even if you see them only once. In fact, you probably prefer a lot of changes in your friendships.

Venus Conjunct Neptune:

You are very romantic, idealistic, and imaginative about love. You yearn for your "true love" or "soul mate" and may become disappointed in others who never quite live up to your dream image of the perfect lover. You frequently fantasize about love and often fall in love with someone you can only love from afar. You may avoid making a definite personal commitment. Gentle and sensitive, you do not like to be approached in a very direct or aggressive manner. You are attracted to those with artistic or mystical inclinations.

Section 3: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance

You are quietly devoted and faithful to your loved ones, and often become a kind of servant to your love partner. You are more comfortable showing love for someone by doing something for them, making something for them, or simply being there for them -rather than telling them so in a romantic, soul-stirring sort of way. You are timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. You also underestimate your attractiveness and lovability and doubt your own worthiness to receive love and appreciation.

Mercury Conjunct Mars/Neptune

You tend to idealize your actions or situation, which could lead to misguided endeavors. Uncertain about your goals, you have a tendency to stray from your original purpose and could be disillusioned with the results.

You have a very suspicious, even paranoid, side. You mind is penetrating and deep and you have an aptitude for research, investigative reporting, or private investigation. You are keenly interested in the deeper aspects of the human psyche, with a sort of "x-ray vision" regarding the inner motivations and intentions of others. You are drawn to anything secret, hidden, or mysterious, and may pursue esoteric or occult studies. You are also a forceful and convincing speaker or writer, with the ability to influence people's thinking by the sheer power of your conviction.

Mercury Opposition Uranus:

You have a brilliant, inventive mind, and your sudden flashes of insight and clear perception enable you to understand concepts very quickly. At times your mind dances from one subject to the next so rapidly that you cannot thoroughly take in and digest any of them. You get bored and restless, and you intellectually rebel against too much tedium. You may be abrupt and impatient with people who plan and plod along, because you like to be open to inspiration and be spontaneous. You could invent or discover something truly original, unique, or unheard of.

Mercury aspects Saturn and Uranus:

You will notice that the description below contradicts some of the statements made in the previous paragraphs. Above your thinking is depicted as careful, conservative, methodical, and possibly narrow or rigid, while the following information characterizes your mind as quick and innovative. Both are true! You incorporate both ways of thinking - the inspired, inventive AND the deductive, ordered. Here is a description of the more free-flowing aspect:

Mercury Trine Saturn:

You possess excellent powers of concentration, and enjoy studying or deep thinking in solitude. Discriminating and highly rational, you get right down to the bare bones in any discussion, and are quick to see the fuzzy thinking or weaknesses in another's logic. You are well-suited to any work which requires organized thinking, precision, and a methodical approach. You enjoy working on problems that others consider too tedious, repetitive, or technical. You tend to become a specialist in some field of knowledge, and to become engrossed in all of the small details of that area, sometimes not realizing that few people share your particular interest, especially to the extent that you do.

Section 2: Mental Interests and Abilities

You have good mental concentration and the ability to become completely immersed in your work. You seem to know things at an instinctive, nonverbal level and prefer learning through direct experience or apprenticeship rather than vicariously via books or lectures. You have mechanical ability and work well with your hands. You could become adept at sculpture, pottery, carpentry, stained glass, or anything that involves doing and making things manually. Biology (and related fields such as medicine) interests you as well. You also have an instinctive rapport with animals, and may feel you relate better to them than to people! You tend to become narrowly focused upon your own specialized interests and may not have much to say or communicate outside that field.

Sun Opposition Moon:

Sun Sextile Mars: You can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort. Your dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and you see healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, you enjoy fine health as well. Sun Conjunct Venus/Jupiter You are warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular, especially with the opposite sex. Your happy feelings rub off onto others and everyone enjoys being with you. Due to a protective and encouraging upbringing, your relations with your parents are good.

Section 1: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

Harmony and balance are your keynotes. You instinctively understand the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and you are always fair and willing to meet the other person half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and with considerable social awareness, you do all you can to avoid conflict and discord. You express a spirit of cooperation and compromise and often achieve through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve by a direct, forceful approach. Getting along with others and pleasing them may be TOO important to you, for you can be too dependent on others' approval and opinions to make your own decisions. You will rarely act without getting the counsel and feedback of other people. You prefer sharing and doing things together rather than on your own. Being alone feels very unnatural to you, and you have a strong need for a partner and intimate one-to-one relationships. You invest a great deal of your energy in personal love and you are very idealistic and romantic about marriage. You seek a partner who is your equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. You make a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and you enjoy the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Relationships are like an art to you, one that requires time, attention, and creative effort. You appreciate a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or dull or blunt. Fairness and equality, both in your personal life and in the world, are extremely important to you. If you fight about anything, it is often about something you feel is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to you and you believe in moderation in all things, avoiding fanaticism and extremism of any sort. You also have a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way you dress, furnish and arrange your home and workspace, etc. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Either working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator - or in an artistic field such as design or photography, would be fulfilling to you.

Aries Career Profile

Do you want an Aries on your team? You bet. Those born under this Sign are competitive and love the game, whether it's business or life. They hate to lose, which means they'll probably win. And when the "contest" is in full swing, the only speed they know is full steam ahead -- think battering Ram, if you will, and clear out the lanes! Aries like being the leader and aren't as comfortable in a subordinate role. This isn't usually a problem, since -- thanks to their cocksure belief in themselves -- they like to start projects and blaze the trail for colleagues. True to a Fire Sign, Aries can be combustible at times. At least they're always ready to rumble! Even if they aren't always diplomatic, Aries are considerate of their colleagues and display great energy and courage in the field of battle -- umm, make that the workplace. As long as Rams can stay within themselves, they are likely to be successful. One thing the Ram craves is adventure. Preachy staff meetings are a snore, since Aries would much rather be out in the field closing a key client. New challenges need to come at a fast and furious pace for those born under this sign or else it's "NEXT!" as in next job. A safety net for the hard-charging Ram? Not! Retirement is for everyone else -- the Ram will stay in the game forever, changing the rules along the way so as to keep it interesting (but still legit). The Aries office is likely to be spare, with only a few token trophies and emblems of success as reminders of past victories. Rams will likely cruise the streets in the flashiest sports car going (leased, of course), and they would trade in a three-martini lunch for a few beers and a game of liar's dice. Aries is well-suited to become a firefighter, surgeon, mechanic, dentist (watch that drill!), professional athlete and, most of all, entrepreneurs.

Aries Money Profile

Does the Ram seek fame and fortune? Definitely the former, not the latter. While Arians could hit it big and make a bundle (many are entrepreneurs), it's more than likely that any fortune attained will have been as a result of their incredible will to succeed, not a desire to get rich. Arians are daring and bold, the go-getters of the Zodiac. They like to run the show -- and they like to win! This quality might get them in trouble every now and again where money is concerned, but invariably, they'll wriggle out of it. It's action and adventure that the Ram craves, whatever the cost. With the world as their oyster, Arians will purr like a cat. Bottom line: the Rambo of the boardroom has arrived! The Ram doesn't spend much time thinking about getting rich, since it's the journey that matters, not the end result. Moving their agenda forward is top priority, even if the agenda isn't fiscally sound -- hey, it's THEIR agenda! Oftentimes, money to Arians is nothing more than the "currency" which will enable them to get what they want. Are those born under this Sign security conscious? Rarely, since that would be no fun. Don't expect a nest egg from an Arian, someone who would much rather have a job that paid a fair day's wage and not much more so long as it came with freedom and flexibility. Even so, the Ram loves to spend and is the dream of marketers. "Such a deal!" they'll exclaim. "I'll take ten." This kind of behavior could wreak havoc on the checkbook, and to make matters worse, Arians are loathe to balance accounts! Arians would be well-served to save for a rainy day, but they probably won't. Should you loan the Ram money? Not if you expect to be repaid promptly. The flip side of this, however, is that if Arians have a couple of bucks on hand, they'd be more than happy to lend them to you.

Aries

March 19 - April 18 Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac, and that's pretty much how those born under this Sign see themselves: first. Arians are the leaders of the pack, first in line to get things going. Whether or not everything gets done is another question altogether, for Arians far prefer to initiate than to complete.

Because of your great sensibility your feelings can easily be hurt. If your Sun sign doesn't indicate a little more self-confidence, there could be a tendency to loneliness and melancholia.

The Sabian Oracle -- In Practice

Richard Hill The greatest difficulty in dealing with communications from the intuitive/unconscious/right side of the brain is accurately understanding the message. Our world, particularly the Western world, has developed such a dependence on rational/conscious/left side of the brain thought patterns that it can become downright confusing dealing with the different method of thinking that arises from the intuitive. The principal differences between the two styles of thinking are that the rational is predominantly literal, speaking in words and dependent on personal or learnt experience, whereas the intuitive is predominantly symbolic, expressed in images, colours, feelings, shapes, perceptions and abstractions, and is inherently aware of all past experience. In the main, symbolic representation requires some form of processing to arrive at a deeper and more purposeful meaning. It is even possible, and often necessary, to conduct a number of processing sessions where each session reveals another level of depth and a clearer meaning. In this day and age the main obstacle to this type of deep personal resolution is time. By moulding our behaviour and response to logical and rational precedent, regardless of the conflict with personal desire, society can function in a more predictable and practical way. This is assuming that imposed practicality is the best way to achieve a happier and more fulfilled existence. I do not believe this to be so. Carl Jung's philosophy of life is described in Man and his Symbols as: Man becomes whole, integrated, calm, fertile and happy when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete, when the conscious and the unconscious have learnt to live at peace and to complement each other. The Sabian Symbols are one of the tools that can assist in this process. The purpose of the explanatory text by Lynda and myself is to also assist in speeding up the process and perhaps satisfying some of the time constraints. The text is only meant to be a guide. Sometimes it will be the symbol which opens up the flow of intuitive dialogue, sometimes the text, other times just snippets of each. It doesn't matter, so long as it works. There are a number of generally accepted meanings and archetypes to certain symbols. It is, however, important to realise that each individual has a personal experience of a symbol. Symbols will have different meanings to different people at different times in different situations, although the symbol will define the parameters. During a workshop I was conducting on development of the intuition, I asked each person to draw a Sabian and try to discover the intuitive message the it inspired. Later, I asked them to gather in pairs and draw another symbol. This time I told them to read the symbol for their partner. One woman immediately let out a quiet "ooh-ah". She told me that her perception of the symbol had suddenly changed when I said it should relate to her partner. Even more to the point is that her "reading" for her partner was uncannily accurate and the different "reading" for herself was equally uncannily accurate. Despite stating all this, there are a number of recurrent symbols throughout the Sabians and in symbolism generally that have a standard acceptance and warrant being mentioned. Water is generally accepted as representing the emotions; Ocean, the source of life; Breath, the spirit; Triangle, the spiritual trinity; Square, the combination of the four elements; East, the spiritual focal point; Flight, thought and imagination; Serpent, new life, sexuality, evil force; Dance, the act of creation; Birds, human souls; Window, consciousness; Steps, ascension, higher self; Rainbow, bridge from heaven to earth, conscious to unconscious. This list is by no means exhaustive and there are a number of good books available that will expand your knowledge. These symbols, and many others, occur throughout the Sabians. What separates the Sabians from most other symbolic oracles are the modern images. More ancient symbolic systems require an understanding of the culture at that time. The Sabians are more accessible to people of today and still have the deeper archetypal resonance. The Car is symbolic of the individual; the Train, the collective; Window Shopping, things out of reach; Glass Bottomed Boat, viewing the emotions; Santa Claus, the bringer of gifts and so on. It is quite extraordinary that in the creation of 360 symbols in one day that there is very little overlap or duplication. One example of similar symbols is Aquarius 9: "A flag turned into an eagle" and Sagittarius 12:"A flag that turns into an eagle that crows". There is a strong difference, however, in the addition of the crowing. One is the turning from idealism to reality and the other is where the idealism is not only realised, but loudly declared. Remembering that the symbols were created in random order, it is interesting that Pisces 26, 27, and 28 all reflect aspects and attitudes of the Moon, a very Piscean relationship. There is also a very broad variety of symbols ranging from the very mundane, Cancer 5:"An automobile wrecked by a train" to the purely esoteric Aries 5:"A triangle with wings" to the delightfully humanistic Gemini 24:"Children skating on ice". From an astrological point of view there are a number of structural interrelationships and progressions, but that is not essential in the use of the Sabians as an oracle. Although it isn't necessary to analyse the relationship and structure of the symbols to use them as an oracle, it is interesting nonetheless. As you work with the symbols you may find yourself noticing relationships between the symbols, but these too will vary according to your needs at the time. It is also not necessary to have any special knowledge of astrology or symbolism to be able to use the oracle, although such knowledge will no doubt be useful. The important thing is to open up to the intuitive dialogue from within and let the Sabians guide and inspire. As a clairvoyant, I use the Sabians as an inspirational tool. The accuracy and depth that the symbols release never cease to amaze me. One client was very perplexed as to what to do with her future. She was in her forties and wished to move to another area and start afresh. I could see clairvoyantly that she would be working with quite old and also quite young people. They seemed to be very ill. Drawing the symbol Aquarius 20:"A big white dove, a message bearer" led us to piece together her skills as a beautician, her desire to talk with others and the revelations she had had the previous year about death after caring for her mother in her last months. These became a practical vision of her working with terminal patients as a comforter and using her beautician skills to pamper or do face painting or a makeover to lift their spirits. She was thrilled. Another client was discussing her issues and I couldn't help feeling that she was too fussy and this was contributing to her problems. Drawing Virgo 5:"An ornamental handkerchief" confirmed my feelings and gave us the perfect image to help modify her fussiness. She could see that an ornamental handkerchief is only brought out on specific occasions, not really for day to day use. She was very pleased to understand how to manage her fussiness in a positive way. An example of different clients drawing the same symbol is with Gemini 11:"Newly opened lands open virgin realms of experience". The first client was in the doldrums and was looking to me to give her some sense of purpose. I sensed that her problem was not so much that she was inactive, but that she wanted to be more active. With the guidance of Gemini 11 she admitted that she wanted to do things, but felt frightened and incapable. The Sabians inspired her to take courage and follow her heart. In the second case the client was focussing on selling her home. She didn't really have to, but after I sensed that where she was living held a great deal of unpleasant history she opened up to the truth of her marriage separation and loss of friends. Gemini 11 gave her the feeling of an adventurous pioneer and this felt good to her. She decided to move forward. Another client who wished to travel, but was unable to take the plunge, drew quite a different Sabian, Taurus 5:"A widow at an open grave". I clairvoyantly sensed a deadness in my belly and a swelling of anguished tears into my throat. She had, indeed, lost a child in childbirth and Taurus 5 helped her to realise that she had to let go, not just suppress. We both had a little cry and she felt she could begin the real process of letting go. Her trip away was postponed for just a short while. These examples are only a brief portion of the reading and I would select several other Sabians to arrive at the clear picture, but I am sure you can see the guidance and deeper understanding found and how the Sabians acted as a key to open the flow of intuitive clairvoyance. Jung talks of the conscious and the unconscious as being separate parts of the mind that come together cooperatively in individuation. The Sabians Symbols can act as the catalyst. The intuitive part of the mind thinks symbolically and by using symbols the mind seems to find it easier to switch to the intuition. In my client examples you can see that the left side takes in the words of the symbol and creates an image that opens the right side. This allows the inherent wisdom of the intuition to flow. Contemplation of the feelings and symbols from the intuition are eventually able to be communicated through to the left side and expressed in language. But what is this clairvoyant knowledge that comes out? How can we know intimate details of other lives? This is, I find, the most curious aspect of "reading". For me it comes as pictures and feelings, often duplicating physical symptoms of the client in my own body. Some people have spirits and guides that tell them (clairaudience), some channel, some use colours or essences or jewellery. Others are inspired by the tarot or numerology or astrology or palms. Some say it comes from within and others say it is given from without. In the final analysis it is probably best not to analyse at all. It is not the degree to which we can pin something down that is as important as using something that "works" for practical benefit. The sceptics, of course, argue that if you don't know how it works then it isn't real. To some degree this is true. You can't just make anything up and expect people to believe it, nor should you blindly believe everything presented to you. But I often remind sceptics that there are many things we don't truly understand. Scientific explanation is, by its nature, based on things that already exist. Once explained, however, greater clarity and understanding can be achieved. I still hear people attributing esoteric qualities to things that have quite different qualities. This is one of the reasons why sceptics are able to maintain their rage. The concept of universal consciousness is on the lines of, if the universe is connected in its pattern and flow, like some huge pool of water, then no matter where or how the water is affected we can all share the experience and knowledge. I believe this to be true because I have seen it happen time and time again with my own eyes and heart. The Sabian Symbols have opened up a wealth of understanding and vision in my practice and in my life. I can't rationally explain how it works (although given 250 pages I'd give it a good try), but I am enriched and privileged to "use it".

Symbols as Oracles

Symbolism is a catalyst or key to accessing our own inner wisdom; our connection with the universal consciousness; our spirit or soul; what some call the higher self. This aspect of ourselves does not think in words, but in images, feelings, colors and sounds. It is the abstract part of our psyche that the logic dominated social creation that we live in will not accept as valid because it doesn't make sense to rational thinking. It is possible that everything that has happened since creation and throughout evolution is stored within us as an abstract memory. Not like some huge story-telling, factual novel, but as something, as Carl Jung says "beyond the grasp of reason". There are so many things in this world that affect us far more deeply than is explicable. It is symbolism that creates a pathway to our deeper understandings and brings them up into the conscious world. Tom Chetwynd, in his book Dictionary of Symbols says, "Symbols have always been treasured as a means of releasing sources of energy from the unconscious." The Sabian Symbols are a wonderful and complete system of symbols that will do just that. During those times when we need direction, reassurance or answers to questions in our lives, we can employ the use of an Oracle to reconnect with this enormous inner world full of meaning and understanding. What does an Oracle do? An Oracle is not here to give you THE answer. An Oracle is not there to do the work for you. It is there to give you the direction to access your own inner wisdom, the wisdom of the universe, for you to find your true direction and pathway to the answer. "Man's inner world is always more significant to him than his outer one, despite what may seem to be a much greater stability gained by the latter through its physical make-up or its historical continuity. The battles of life actually are fought, and won or lost, in the purely psychological and intangible areas of being." Dr. Marc Edmund Jones

Use the Sabian Oracle

"The Sabian Symbols are...a series of symbolic pictures that are meant to arouse in the student a realization of the power of his own creative spirit." Dane Rudhyar The Sabian Symbol Story The Sabian Symbols were given birth in San Diego, California, in 1925 by Marc Edmund Jones, a noted American astrologer and spiritualist and the gifted clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler. Marc Edmund Jones was interested to find a set of degree symbols (a symbol for every degree of the zodiac), that was less judgmental and more of a reflection of contemporary American life than the degree symbols that were currently available. Elsie Wheeler was an extraordinary clairvoyant, crippled by arthritis for most of her life, with a remarkable ability to "see" symbols. Dane Rudhyar acknowledged this as being true of many clairvoyants of this type, but "she... proved to have the ability to a spectacular degree." The degrees were manifested one day in 1925 in San Diego's Balboa Park. Unfortunately, the date was apparently not recorded. Marc Edmund Jones took Miss Wheeler to Balboa Park in his car, where they worked all day. They deliberately found a place in the park very close to a busy intersection where they would be surrounded by the vibrations of modern American life. Jones used a set of 360 cardboard cards, these were blank except for a small notation of the sign and degree. He would shuffle the cards and place a card in front of her, neither of them knowing the degree or sign on the card and she would describe a scene and Jones would write it on the back of the card, hence it was done completely at random. The set of 360 degree symbols was done in one day, a truly extraordinary feat. In the 1930's, Jones' students of the Sabian Assembly started using the Symbols and found amazing results from placing them in natal charts. Dane Rudhyar heard about their extraordinary ability to describe a person's destiny and applied for and received permission to use the Symbols in his book The Astrology of Personality (first published in 1936). In this book Rudhyar did a concise, 3 line interpretation. In 1953, Jones wrote his book The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, describing them in terms of sign polarity and giving them both a positive and negative interpretation and illustrated the applications of the Symbols by relating them to horoscopes of 1,000 well- known people. Twenty years later, in 1973, after a lot of research and investigation into the complete structure of the 360 degree series, Rudhyar wrote An Astrological Mandala. This book gave them an incredible new layer of meaning, Rudhyar employing a more holistic and humanistic approach, promoted the idea of using the Sabian Symbols as a oracle. He described them as a "... contemporary American I Ching.".

The Sabian Symbols as an Oracle

The Sabian Symbols are connected to the Zodiac, but the Oracle is for everyone. Absolutely no knowledge of astrology is needed to access the wonderful messages in the symbols. If you are an astrologer, there is an almost limitless use of the Sabian Symbols in every aspect of astrological enquiry. The symbols add a fresh and vital human or inner depth to current knowledge and interpretation. Natal, mundane, vocational, transits, - everything.

Dear Astrologer:

I've been having problems with my marriage. I've lost the love I once felt for him. He had an alcohol dependency problem and I still feel angry at him for all that he has put me through. I do know I don't love him. My question is, will I continue to pretend I love him, or will we end up in divorce? Born: Apr, 16 1965, 01:58 am, Syracuse. Dear Aries: What do you have to gain by pretending you love this man? If you want this marriage to work then seek counselling. You can pull through if you want to. The outcome is up to you. Dear Astrologer: I'm giving up the job I've had since I graduated from college because I'm miserable because of my boss. I'm planning a full scale, gung-ho resume make-over and job search. Am I doing the right thing? I need some encouragement!! Born: Dec, 19 1965, 03:27 pm, sturgis. Dear Sagittarius: If anyone can turn a negative into a positve situation it's a Sag! There is turn of events coming up for you but the outcome will be determined by your attitude. Listen to your intuition. Dear Astrologer: I have had three unsuccessful, abusive marriages and I'am wondering if its possible that I could have an enduring, supportive and more spiritual relationship in this lifetime? Born: Dec, 15 1958, 08:43 am, Philadelphia. Dear Sagittarius: Yes, it is certainly possible but not until you learn about yourself a little better. You have challenging aspects in your chart which indicate your relationship projections. Understand who you are first and your ambition may be fulfilled. Dear Astrologer: what are the meanings of saturn transiting various planets? Born: Jan, 30 1969, 06:20 am, ljubljana. Dear Aquarius: Saturn is about structure and timing. It is the planet of karma . We learn our life lessons through this planet and its aspects to the other planets. Look to the house Saturn is transiting as it will indicate which part of your life is being examined. Dear Astrologer: what is the reason for the magnetic attraction of scorpio and taurus? Born: Oct, 23 1954, 11:26 pm, dublin. Dear LibScorp: Opposites attract! Check out StarMatcher. Dear Astrologer: I have been seperated for almost 3 years - have a busy career and would like to know if I will be meeting someone very special in my life soon. Was married to a Gemini for 24 years and looking for romance,excitment,fulfillment. Love to have the intimate relationship and being close. what are my chances Born: Jan, 17 1946, 12:30 am, Ottawa. Dear Capricorn: You may meet someone older or through work around April 1998. Late this month looks promising although I think it has more to do with career and how others see you rather than romance...but you'll be feeling good regardless! Dear Astrologer: I have been seeing a gentleman (8/10/49 12am Boise,Id), who appears unavailable. His wife died August 2, 1995 of cancer and he seems to be still grieving. I really wonder if there is hope for us as a couple or not. Should I just forget it, or be more patient. We have been seeing each other for 15 months, and I haven't gotten a committment from him at all. Born: Aug, 27 1945, 12:20 am, salt lake city. Dear Virgo: If you are interested in this man then you must learn patience. He has been through a major trauma in his life and needs time to work it out. I think you are being unreasonable. You have been seeing each other for 15 months -- to me that sounds like a commitment! Dear Astrologer: I am currently in a relationship with a Scorpio (Nov. 17, 1975). We seem to get along most of the time except when it comes to trust issues and closeness. Neither of us trust each other very much and I feel the need for closeness both intimately and emotionally whereas he only wants to be close intimately. Because of this, I need constant reassurance about his feelings and still am not sure whether they are strong enough to last. Can you tell me whether we are compatible enough to stick with this relationship or should we concentrate on being friends? Thanks a lot! Any advice on this will help a great deal. Born: Jan, 11 1975, Baton Rouge. Dear Capricorn: Trust is one of the solid foundations of a relationship and if your don't have it then this will cause problems. Admittedly, it takes time to trust someone on this level. If he is not giving you what you want then why bother? Dear Astrologer: I met a Libra (26-SEP-56 Alabama)1n 1983. He was hired at my place of employment three weeks before me, a Pisces (19-FEB-60 Mayaguez, PR 1:30p). I had moved to this city after college with the purpose of marrying my college boyfriend. That marriage was called off. I dated Libra for about six months, but grew discouraged at his lack of "spine." and initiative. I could not fall in love... I married a Taurus (11-MAY-56 San Diego) in 1986. Two children later and after a very intense marriage, we divorced after I discovered he was having an affair with a colleague. Libra came back to my life, as a friend. Our relationship became closer and closer. Great communication, honesty, trustfulness, great friendship... He asked me to marry him because that's what I wanted. Then he became terrified of the commitment. After almost three years of a beatiful relationship, we have gone our own ways with no hope of reconciliation. I was very sad, but now, I am doing great. What's in my future? Is he the one? I have decided not to pursue it any further. Will I meet someone else? What about the father of my children, will he be playing any role in my future life? I need some spiritual guidance. Born: Feb, 19 1960, 01:30 pm, Mayaguez. Dear Aquarius: For spiritual guidance listen to your intuition for the answers. As for your Libra, you already know he's not the one. Someone will come into your life who you have not met before but will only be able to do so once you have let go of your previous relationships. Dear Astrologer: I have recently had many set back financially that have caused a lot of serious hardships in my life. I am a caring, loving person that would give anyone the last penny I had if it could help them out...I have also been there for others especially my women firends when they needed someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. Because of my recent set backs, I lost a wonderful women I was engaged to...My question to you is will I find true LOVE in the near future and with whom(someone I know or a total stranger)?? And will my financial situation ever get better?? When?? Born: Jul, 09 1961, 01:45 am, Providence. Dear Cancer: You will only find true love when you let go of your old relationship. It will be when you are least expecting it.
