"To understand the meaning of the symbolic degrees in any given chart, please read the description first. Then try to infer the main energies from the text and identify repeated or converging trends.
Symbolic degrees must never be taken literally. We insist that attention should be paid to repeated words, and that synonyms or similar meanings, and even similar sounds ought to be put together. Do the sum of the analogies found and, if the total is significant, you can draw the conclusion that its influence is active."

What a load of ... yeah, that stuff.
Again anyone that has read my thread "The Birth Chart of Jesus" or my book certainly knows by now that the Sabian Symbols can most certainly be taken literally for many people, maybe not all and maybe a relative few, but if you are someone unaware of your destiny to be, what Dane Rudhyar called, "A World Server", the Sabian Symbols will likely be...as I have found, in the Jesus/Yeshua natal chart, the chart for the USA's nativity [the "Zero Hour" chart, 12:00:01 A.M. July 4, 1776 Philadelphia, Penn.] my own natal chart, and the North Node in transit the night I was invited to speak for a full hour on the Rick Barber radio program back in 2005 on December 22nd, about my producing a chart that I and the people that promoted me to Mr. Barber believed and still believe to be a genuine chart for Yeshu'a/Jesus and I spoke about the importance of knowing the existence of the Sabian Symbols, as so many people had never even heard of them and nothing about them.
They chose the date and time [2:00 A.M. PST], offered me the opportunity in October of that year and to which I agreed to appear on the late Mr. Barber's program on am radio station KOA out of Denver, Colorado which is a 50,000 watt station and being up high in the Rocky Mts. is heard over most all of the lower 48 States, especially in the wee hours of night...as that's just a peculiarity of the science.
I discovered after I had accepted the invitation when I wanted to see how the transiting influences would be during the program, I found that the North Node, which Dane did write was, as to a daily horoscope, was to be taken as a generality for the masses but is one of particularity to those that are "World Servers" and of course, he meant as to the Sabian Symbology found in association with the degree the North Node is in at any given time.
the North Node was at 09* Aries 42' 03" when I went on the air and that is the 10th degree of Aries.
From Dane Rudhyar's book on the Sabian Symbols "AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA. The Cycle Of Transformation and It's 360 Symbolic Phases"
"
ARIES 10°: A TEACHER GIVES NEW SYMBOLIC FORMS TO TRADITIONAL IMAGES.
KEYNOTE: Revision of attitude at the beginning of a new cycle of experience.
This phase is the fifth of the second five-fold sequence, and in it we find expressed the capacity to restate the problem inherent in the first phase, i.e. the problem of focusing one's energies upon emotional drives and cultural values which exclude far more than they include. The subsequent stages of development taken together have added considerably to this attitude; as a result, there arises in the consciousness a desire to reformulate at a new level much that had been taken for granted because it indeed originally had been an evolutionary necessity. The very concrete emotion-arousing images of the past can now be reinterpreted as 'symbols' with a wider scope of meaning.
At this fifth stage a new dimension of consciousness is discovered, revealing higher possibilities of experience and mental development. This is a phase of ABSTRACTION and of emotional allegiance.
...and not to be taken literally, huh? ... if the above isn't enough to convince people to, at least, look further into the matter and read some of the many, many, posts in which I have demonstrated quite the opposite, then perhaps the Sabian Symbol for the Part of Fortune derived from that natal chart for Yeshu'a/Jesus I'm so convinced of to be authentic might do the trick it takes?
and that Part of Fortune so derived [from the original data before astrodienst made a half dozen changes to the original data, but they claim to have only done so once... yet they were unable to alter it enough and still get away with it as to disrupt what degree of the Zodiac that Part of Fortune is to be found within...i.e. that is at 18* Pisces 16' 08", that is the 19th degree of Pisces.

WARNING
BUT DON'T FORGET THAT DISCLAIMER
by Frenchwoman Janduz* published Les 360 degrés du Zodiaque, an illustrated book based on the interpretation of the Volasfera by Antonio Borelli, ...although now that I give it more thought...and way more than I would like to considering this is all just a nuisance... and in my opinion it was intended to be... Mr. HAND, might be promoting some other frenchman or womans symbols, I don't even care or even care to spend the time it would take to check... and one last point, I only just noticed that astrotheme/astrodienst is claiming that the sets of symbol created by Charubel and Maurice Wemyss to also be known as Sabian Symbols, ...well they're not. Dane gave a bit of credibility to Charubel but also said that they are of such complex and at times seemingly inappropriate imagery that He never could work with them...and Dane was the master of interpreting symbolism in the 20th century. If Charuble or Maurice actually claimed to have possessed the Sabian Symbols they certainly aren't the same ones they have publically attributed to them.
