I'd like to add, for those that were lured into this thread with the prospect about learning something of the correlation of Sabian Symbols with House Cusps, is to get a copy of the aforementioned book by Dane Rudhyar ...it's also online and can be read in its entirety [sans one esoteric chapter] ... and then read Part Three chapter 2, it's titled "The Cross And The Star". In that chapter Dane explains how the Sabian Symbols found at the four points of the chart axis [ the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th House Cusps, aka the Asc, I.C., Desc., and M.C.], are to be understood in a natal chart as that of "Who" you are, what you're to become, or the "Where-To" and "How" and "Why" it must be so. The Star is based on the M.C. and a perfect pentagram [a Grand Quintile] constructed to it. As the M.C. is the "HOW" of the above process, the I.C., the "WHY"... but in a mundane interpretation of a chart the M.C. and I.C. reverse roles. When the I.C. is the focus of a pentagram, then it becomes the "HOW" and the difference between upward pointing pentagrams and downward pointing pentagrams is most significant, INDEED.
Dane Rudhyar uses the first degrees of all the Cardinal Signs as an example to illustrate how the process is interpreted... and implies that Jesus of Nazareth would have had such a chart axis. [That's what I believe too, and have given much evidence for in many other threads.]
Rudhyar then uses a pentagram based on the 1st degree of Aries as an example for that interpretation. Those other four points are the 19th of Capricorn, the 7th of Scorpio, the 25th of Leo, and the 13th of Gemini.
My M.C. is the 24th of Leo, thus I have the same pentagram. The trick is in knowing where to begin to read the five symbols... each of the 72 pentagrams to be found in the Zodiac has a set of unique Sabian Symbols [as they are all unique from one another] that when put together, as a whole, constitute the outline of a "perfect story", or one might say, "a perfect script"...as Marc Edmond Jones did discover for himself...quite obviously, because, not long after he obtained the Sabian Symbols He began making a substantial side income selling scripts to Hollywood for many years.
The only thing is, is that Marc saw them of intrinsic value and as far as I know never did recognize them as a mandala of a perfect life plan of evolutionary transformation, yet it is also a process of spiritual evolution when read in the other direction beginning with Virgo 30 degrees, and unless Dane did ever manage to have an earnest talk with Marc about the subject of astrology, I don't know that Marc ever saw them for what they truly are. Most particularly for having the audacity to change a number of them to fit what He had presumed and hoped they added up to.
They are divine precepts and needs to be given the props. Dane did begin the study of it by taking a correspondence course by Marc... and just six years after beginning the study wrote "The Astrology of Personality", the only book on the subject of astrology chosen by the London Times in its list of the 100 Greatest Books of the 20th Century. Rudhyar had a set of Marc's symbols for about a little more than a year, or so, and figured out what they represent and even figured out which ones didn't belong... that is to say which ones Marc had changed. He found the clairvoyant, Elsie Wheeler, living nearby in San Diego and went and visited he and she produced the original notations of her descriptions to Marc. Dane found that He was right about Marc and had changed all the symbols Dane suspected. [Dane was in L.A. at Annie Besant's invitation to work and it was She that go him to study Astrology.] Dane recognized that the Sabian Symbols are representative of a process of transformation and insinuated, in a number of works, that they could also be read as symbolic of transcending the material world, transcending Maya, as the Vedic philosophers would say. ["All paths of true discipleship begin in Virgo" Rudhyar] Dane saw his first set of the Sabian Symbols in 1932 but it wasn't until 1973 that He published his book on them... when He was 78 years old.
One last thin. Marc Edmond Jones once said, "Rudhyar is a metaphysician. I am a clinician."
So, getting back to "THE STAR", it's only the M.C., the 10th House Cusp, of the natal chart that is involved , but the other four pints should be read in Clockwise order beginning with the one below the Asc., then the one above the Asc. and East of the M.C., then the M.C., and so on. At least that's the way mine has made sense to me and I'm at 70 years old and have pretty much got most all of it behind me to look at now. They definitely all belong together.
Those five Sabian Symbols give an outline of the perfect life led in harmony with ones M.C., the "HOW" of a natal chart interpretation [and the 10th House Cusp represents ones' "Career", but when one is striving on the path of spiritual evolution the "HOW", is that of "SERVICE"...that's the pentagram pointing upward... you do what you do for ^ ...and isn't that beautiful thing?
So, you have to initiate those other four precepts, employ them... or you'll find that they did get deployed, only you were never really aware of it
What you seem to be attempting using these symbols is rather odd. Macabre actually. Remember they represent a cyclic process of transformation and so then...
What cycle do yo see the event of Diana's death to be a part of?
I would be more prone to look at Her progressed natal chart
