Capricorn 23 - sabian astrology in 7 words

Have you ever wondered why your zodiac sign, whereas it may say quite a lot, cannot in actual fact distinguish you exactly? Surely not in a spine-tingling kind of way that formulates the whole of life so that it must take on a different connotation. Well, have a look at these Sabian Symbols – they might help you alter your ideas! The Sabian methodology genuinely is quite exceptional.

So what are Sabian Symbols? The Sabian Symbols are images – one for each point of the zodiac circle – that were clairvoyantly discovered by an exceptional person, Elsie Wheeler, and illuminated by a foremost astrologer, Dr Marc Edmund Jones. Each offers a subtle clue about the central sense of that degree, which usually can reveal some very useful and stimulating perspectives  for you.

It works even if it’s not your particular degree – and yet a lot better if it is. It’s best to allow yourself time to do it slowly, like a meditation. Let each of the short paragraphs sink in slowly and try to feel what it means, as well as using the mind…or just sit with the images for a while and use your power of imagination to create some playful stories around it.

Having come to some new realizations about the essence of who you are, there is another stage you can adopt – to decide to be different. You can influence a lot more of your circumstances than you usually do when you engage fully with the deepest part of your unique identity, by taking on the qualities indicated by your Sabian symbol.

Also if you are clearer about who you are, then you become a lot more certain about what you want out of life. You can set your goals according to an overall vision of the bigger picture, and that itself leads to a much greater chance of success. It helps with focus so that you keep your attention fixed on the required outcome.

Reading your own Sabian Symbol is a bit like getting a brother or sister to speak honestly about you. They know you well, with all your dark bits and your light, and although they love you, they’ll tell you the hard truth! It can be difficult to hear, yet useful for those who are trying to become better people. It may be necessary to reread it a few times and think deeply about what is actually being said.

There is so much we could do with our lives! Opportunities are endless and very diverse, each day bringing little clues and teases to nudge us toward a little more unfolding of potential. Saying No to this and Yes to that surely requires us to trust our feelings and surrender to the inevitable – that, come what may, we all end up being who we are: nothing more, nothing less.

The potential for heroism exists inwardly in advance of its outer expression, and can be felt as a deep-seated need for recognition of one’s capacity for dedicated self-effacing service. Even though such behaviour often stimulates society’s need to raise up an individual to the rank of leader, strutting and proclaiming this potential is inelegant and avoided by the wiser individual.

Additionally, the time and energy spent in the process of gaining broader experience is an efficient method to stimulate personal growth, and this itself has the effect of gradually widening ones social relevance to a certain level, which equates to ones heroic station.

Such experiences also stimulate an awakening of a genius for dramatizing life’s possibilities. This calls forth a cornucopia of fruits and riches that point to the abundance that any individual might access by following the leader’s example of effective, creative, courageous life management.

There unfolds in the individual a great resourcefulness to develop new areas of practical experience, which with continual effort, leads to social and political gains. However we need to remember that an idealistic leader, who may well be completely integrated within normal humdrum society, will still always be measured and also challenged for position. It goes with the job, and helps to keep alive the very skills and wisdom that qualify the leader fro the position.

Rising above the pack, one is exalted by ones personal vision and character. Other concerns are subordinated, so that the compelling goal of living actually becomes nothing more than the demonstration and presentation of ones values as a teaching to guide others.

Continual self-dedication is a life path that brings as its reward the burden of social stewardship. With it comes the opportunity to disclose a profound practical understanding of ones fellows, their circumstances and challenges.

Recognition, which once was sought after by an immature youth yearning to find self-realization, is now understood to be a sword that cuts with two edges, the one self-serving, the other social; one cuts away external dross, the other cuts inwardly. And whereas the first award gave intoxicating unlooked-for joy, the second suggests that a third is to be expected in due course. The burden to meet expectations becomes a dimension heavier, the path a degree more serious.
