Sabian Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A Girls' Basketball Team"
The Sabian symbol for 21 Virgo, as channeled by Elsie Wheeler in 1925 with Marc Edmund Jones and later refined by Dane Rudhyar, is "A girls’ basketball team." This image captures Virgo’s themes of precision, teamwork, and service, with a focus on coordinated effort and physical discipline.
Dane Rudhyar’s Interpretation (An Astrological Mandala, 1973):
Teamwork and Discipline: Rudhyar describes this as "The need for physical activity and teamwork in developing group consciousness." The girls’ basketball team symbolizes a collective effort where individuals work together with precision and skill, reflecting Virgo’s attention to detail and service-oriented nature.

Feminine Energy in Action: The focus on girls highlights Virgo’s association with the feminine archetype (often linked to the Virgin goddess), emphasizing nurturing through action and discipline. This degree suggests channeling Virgo’s analytical energy into physical or cooperative endeavors.

Social Integration: Rudhyar notes that 21 Virgo involves integrating individual skills into a group dynamic, fostering a sense of unity and purpose, which aligns with Virgo’s desire to improve and serve the collective.

Keynote: “The development of group consciousness through disciplined, cooperative activity,” indicating that 21 Virgo is about using Virgo’s meticulous nature to achieve harmony and effectiveness in a team setting.

Marc Edmund Jones’ Interpretation (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, 1953):
Coordinated Effort: Jones sees this as “a capacity for bringing people together in a common effort.” In Virgo, this reflects the sign’s ability to organize and refine group activities, ensuring everyone works toward a shared goal with precision.

Positive and Negative Traits: The positive trait is “a gift for inspiring teamwork,” pointing to Virgo’s practical leadership. The negative is “a tendency to over-organize or become overly critical,” warning against Virgo’s perfectionism stifling the group’s spontaneity.

Physical Expression: Jones highlights the physical nature of basketball, suggesting that 21 Virgo often involves channeling mental energy into tangible, disciplined action, balancing Virgo’s cerebral tendencies.

Charubel’s Degree Symbol for 21 Virgo: "A Man Holding a Net, Catching Birds"
Precision and Capture: Charubel’s image of a man catching birds with a net reflects Virgo’s precision and analytical approach. The net symbolizes a methodical effort to capture fleeting opportunities or ideas (birds), aligning with Virgo’s desire to organize and refine.

Control Over Chaos: Birds often represent thoughts or inspiration, and the act of catching them suggests Virgo’s need to bring order to scattered elements, whether in the mind, work, or daily life.

Potential for Restriction: Charubel’s symbols sometimes carry a caution, and this degree might warn against being overly controlling or restrictive, as trapping birds could stifle their natural freedom, reflecting Virgo’s shadow side of over-analysis.

In a chart, this symbol at 21 Virgo might suggest someone who excels at organizing and capturing opportunities through careful planning, but who needs to ensure they don’t suppress creativity or spontaneity.

Abundance Through Effort: Sepharial’s image of a sheaf of wheat ready for harvest reflects Virgo’s association with harvest (as the sign of late summer) and the fruits of labor. It symbolizes the culmination of hard work, where Virgo’s diligence yields tangible results.

Practical Nourishment: The wheat suggests sustenance, aligning with Virgo’s focus on service and providing for others. This degree might indicate a moment of reaping rewards through practical, grounded effort.

Spiritual Harvest: Sepharial often includes a spiritual layer, so this symbol might also suggest a spiritual or intellectual harvest, where one gathers wisdom or insights after a period of disciplined study.

Virgo 21. A geologist studying bands of rock in a cliff. (Omega Symbol) Interacting/Experimental

(Degree Angel: YERATEL (YEH-ra-TEL) Silent Partner, Propagation of the Light)

You see how one thing affects another, and how energy builds up in patterns. This intuitive understanding of the past can greatly help you to see where we are now and how we got here. It can also provide us was the key to how to undo or reverse that which needs to be redeemed. You sense all this and use it, though often you may have no idea quite how you do.

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is, “Dark river and distant bell.” The dark river makes it difficult to see the currents, or the way ahead. To be carried forward without being able to know where we're going could evoke fear. The bell, though, calls to us – it's sound brings hope, and a sense of destination. This degree is compelled to often “work in the dark,” but if the inner voice is faithfully attended to it will guide you into realms of increasing light and clarity.

Pleiadian Symbol: A group of acrobats inventing new routines.

Azoth Symbol: Words written for specific people of future generations.

Seed degree: Sagittarius 6. In a red desert a lush green plantation produced by irrigation. (Omega Symbol). Realizing that we have the power, always, to transcend all limitations, we are able to understanding more deeply the cycles we have been through and how to rise above their restrictions.

A pair of shoes with live wings on each. (Chandra Symbol). Allowing our understanding to fly above the limitations of the rational mind, we hear the call to higher consciousness and are able to successfully navigate all confusions.

Fulfillment degree: Gemini 15. A magician's tower looms above the surrounding landscape. (Omega Symbol). Seeing deeply and clearly into the past we come into a profound understanding of ourselves that frees us to express our creativity in its purest form.

People gathering salt from the ocean. (Chandra Symbol). Eventually our attentiveness to the ringing of the spiritual bell sets up a vibration that clears all chaos and envelops us in harmony, even in the midst of the clouding illusions.


Degree Theory Interpretation for 21 Virgo
Degree theory, per Nikola Stojanovic, assigns each degree a zodiacal influence based on its numerical correspondence. For 21 degrees, this corresponds to Sagittarius (as 21 reduces to 2+1=3, and Sagittarius is the 9th sign, but Stojanovic often maps degrees cyclically; 21 is also directly associated with Sagittarius in some interpretations). At 21 Virgo, this adds a Sagittarian flavor to Virgo’s energy:
Expansive Precision: Sagittarius’ adventurous, philosophical nature combines with Virgo’s detail-oriented approach, suggesting a quest for knowledge or improvement through exploration. Someone with a planet at 21 Virgo might seek to refine their understanding of the world through travel, study, or teaching.

Big-Picture Service: The Sagittarian influence might broaden Virgo’s focus, leading to service-oriented efforts that aim for larger impact, such as organizing global initiatives or sharing knowledge on a wide scale.

Potential for Overextension: The downside is a risk of Sagittarius’ expansiveness clashing with Virgo’s need for precision, leading to scattered efforts or neglecting details in pursuit of a broader vision.

In a chart, a planet at 21 Virgo might indicate a blend of Virgo’s meticulousness and Sagittarius’ expansiveness, such as a teacher or healer who combines precision with a global perspective.

11 Cancer

Western Tropical Interpretations: 11 Cancer
Sabian Symbol for 11 Cancer: "A Clown Caricaturing Well-Known Personalities"
The Sabian symbol for 11 Cancer, as channeled by Elsie Wheeler in 1925 with Marc Edmund Jones and later refined by Dane Rudhyar, is "A clown caricaturing well-known personalities." This image captures Cancer’s emotional sensitivity and nurturing nature, but with a playful, satirical twist that highlights its ability to reflect on societal figures or dynamics.
Dane Rudhyar’s Interpretation (An Astrological Mandala, 1973):
Emotional Reflection Through Satire: Rudhyar describes this as "The value of humor in developing objectivity and independence of mind." The clown, a symbol of playful exaggeration, caricatures well-known figures, reflecting Cancer’s ability to emotionally process societal roles or authority figures through humor and creativity.

Protective Detachment: In Cancer, this suggests using humor as a protective mechanism to deal with emotional vulnerability. The clown’s satire allows one to step back from intense feelings, gaining perspective on cultural or familial dynamics.

Social Commentary: Rudhyar emphasizes the clown’s role in society, noting that 11 Cancer often involves critiquing or reflecting on collective figures (e.g., leaders, celebrities) in a way that nurtures emotional understanding for oneself or others.

Keynote: “The use of humor to gain emotional distance and objectivity,” indicating that 11 Cancer is about balancing Cancer’s deep sensitivity with a lighter, more detached perspective.

In a natal chart, 11 Cancer might indicate someone who uses humor or creativity to process emotions, often reflecting on societal figures or dynamics in a nurturing way. In transit, it could mark a period of emotional reflection through playful satire, possibly involving family, community, or cultural themes.

Marc Edmund Jones’ Interpretation (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, 1953):
Playful Critique: Jones sees this as “a gift for seeing the absurdities of life.” In Cancer, this reflects the sign’s emotional insight, but expressed through humor and exaggeration, often targeting well-known figures or societal norms.

Positive and Negative Traits: The positive trait is “a capacity for making the most of a situation through wit,” pointing to Cancer’s resourcefulness. The negative is “a tendency to be overly critical or mocking,” warning against using humor to mask deeper emotional wounds, a potential Cancerian pitfall.

Emotional Insight: Jones highlights the clown’s role in revealing truths through caricature, suggesting that 11 Cancer often involves using emotional intelligence to comment on the world in a way that resonates with others.

Jones’ take might suggest a person or situation at 11 Cancer where humor serves as a tool for emotional expression, but there’s a need to ensure it doesn’t become overly critical or defensive.

Linda Hill’s Interpretation (The Sabian Oracle, 1995):
Humor as Healing: Hill emphasizes the clown’s role in bringing laughter and lightness, reflecting Cancer’s nurturing side. She sees this degree as a call to use humor to heal emotional wounds, whether personal or collective.

Social Reflection: The caricaturing of well-known personalities suggests a focus on societal roles, where 11 Cancer might involve reflecting on authority figures (e.g., parents, leaders) through a playful lens, often to gain emotional clarity.

Risk of Misjudgment: Hill warns that the clown’s satire might be misunderstood, leading to hurt feelings or conflict, especially in Cancer’s sensitive context. This degree requires balancing humor with empathy.

Hill’s interpretation might indicate a focus on using humor to nurture at 11 Cancer, with an emphasis on ensuring sensitivity in emotional expression.

Innovative Nurturing: Aquarius’ progressive, humanitarian energy combines with Cancer’s emotional nature, suggesting a unique, forward-thinking approach to nurturing. Someone with a planet at 11 Cancer might care for others in unconventional ways, such as through community activism or innovative caregiving.

Emotional Detachment: Aquarius’ detachment might balance Cancer’s deep sensitivity, allowing for a more objective approach to emotional matters, though it could also lead to a struggle between closeness and independence.

In Vedic astrology, due to the ayanamsa (approximately 24 degrees as of 2025), 11 Cancer in tropical astrology corresponds to 16°00'–16°59' Gemini in the sidereal zodiac. Gemini in Vedic astrology is ruled by Mercury (Budha), associated with communication, intellect, curiosity, and adaptability.

It’s a nakshatra of upheaval, renewal, and deep emotional processing.

Degree Angel: Anauel (a-NA-oo-EL) Appreciation, Perception of Unity, Transforming/Inspired



TITLE: DISPLAY OF TRUTH AND BEAUTY IN AN EXALTED, IDEALISTIC MANNER

Omega Symbol: An ancient text, long kept secret, is revealed to the public.


You are the ancient text – something valuable and special, something that people can admire, marvel at, and learn from. It’s important, though, to not get too bound up in outer accolades – for the glory that you are can, like a match, ignite the glory in other people, uplift them and attune them to their spiritual self. That is your highest task.

Pleiadian Symbol: A play produced at a castle featuring lost travelers encountering denizens of a dark wood.

Realizing that even in the midst of the safety and security of the known LURK many possibilities that, whether they are joyous or difficult, will grow one, and that whether one knows it or not, one is always ready for whatever is encountered.



Chandra Symbol: A woman with many different colored rings on her fingers.

Here is wealth and abundance, a tremendous potentiality. This is a Gemini degree, hence the image of hands. Gemini is a sign of giving and helpfulness, as well as diversity. What you do with what you have to give is the key to your success. If your primary focus is on gaining attention and feeding your own ego, you will weaken the power of your gifts. If you refine and perfect your abilities and focus on the needs of others, you will, in the long run generate even more wealth and abundance for you. This is the essence of the ancient wisdom revealed in the Omega Symbol.

Azoth Symbol: An engineer’s tools neatly arranged.

Organized and careful preparation for work. The enhancing of creativity by having at hand all that one needs to construct something. This is so that things can happen at the right time, just as the revealing of the ancient text of the Omega symbol occurs when the timing is right.


Seed Degree: Virgo – 23
A library is burning. A man therein continues to read. (Omega Symbol). Focusing on our personal intentions and being unfazed by outer circumstances and their demands, we eventually come to profound realizations which we have arisen because we have prepared ourselves for them.

Giant cacti blooming in the desert. (Chandra Symbol). In our desire to create beauty in a realm of desolation we gather to ourselves those energies which will uplift and inspire both ourselves and others.



Fulfillment Degree: Gemini – 12

A single tree growing many different types of fruits. (Omega Symbol). When new wisdom is revealed we realize that it is simply a new expression of the old, eternal wisdom, dressed in no clothes so that we may achieve a deeper appreciation of it.

Many huge urns filled with wheat. (Chandra Symbol). Appreciating the beauty of higher and eternal realities impels us to find a means of translating them into a form that can be consumed as food in the physical world.



Omega Oracle
Many people bought a copy of the recently revealed text and read it, anxious to find new, astounding revelations therein. Almost all were perplexed by the words, which seemed more like a curtain than a revelation – a curtain that hid something within – something they could sense, but that remained persistently elusive in their minds.

Like a stone polished by a river, the text was smooth, softly reflecting the light surrounding it, and seemed, well, usual, average, common – like just any other stone the river had left behind.

Eventually most forgot the text, the original put to sleep in the archives, the copies migrating to attics and used book shops. Such is the fate of galaxies, which the eye reduces to grains of invisible dust in the night sky.

Sabian Symbol for 15 Taurus: "A Man with a Rakish Silk Hat, Muffled Against the Cold, Bravely Faces a Storm"
The Sabian symbol for 15 Taurus, as channeled by Elsie Wheeler in 1925 with Marc Edmund Jones and later refined by Dane Rudhyar, is "A man with a rakish silk hat, muffled against the cold, bravely faces a storm." This image captures Taurus’ themes of perseverance, stability, and groundedness, with a focus on enduring challenges with style and determination.
Dane Rudhyar’s Interpretation (An Astrological Mandala, 1973):
Courage in Adversity: Rudhyar describes this as "The courage needed to face the crises precipitated by social ambition." The man facing the storm symbolizes Taurus’ steadfast nature, enduring challenges with resilience, while the rakish silk hat suggests a touch of flair or social aspiration.

Grounded Determination: In Taurus, this reflects the sign’s ability to remain grounded and practical even in difficult circumstances. The storm represents external challenges, possibly related to material or social goals, which Taurus meets with unwavering determination. Sycamore Gap Felled (during Storm Agnes)- Jup R

Balancing Style and Substance: Rudhyar notes the contrast between the man’s stylish hat and the harsh storm, suggesting that 15 Taurus involves maintaining PERSONAL VALUES or aesthetics (Taurus’ Venusian influence) while facing adversity.

Keynote: “The courage to face life’s storms while holding onto one’s sense of identity and purpose,” indicating that 15 Taurus is about resilience rooted in Taurus’ love for beauty and stability.

In a natal chart, 15 Taurus might indicate someone who faces challenges with steadfast determination, often maintaining their sense of style or values in the process. In transit, it could mark a period of enduring difficulties with courage, particularly in areas related to finances, security, or personal values.

Marc Edmund Jones’ Interpretation (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, 1953):
Resilient Individuality: Jones sees this as “a capacity for preserving one’s individuality in the face of external pressures.” In Taurus, this reflects the sign’s ability to hold firm to its values and identity, even under stress.

Positive and Negative Traits: The positive trait is “a gift for meeting challenges with dignity,” pointing to Taurus’ grounded strength. The negative is “a tendency to be overly stubborn or resistant to change,” warning against Taurus’ potential inflexibility in the face of necessary adaptation.

Practical Courage: Jones emphasizes the man’s practical preparation (muffled against the cold), suggesting that 15 Taurus often involves facing challenges with a pragmatic, resourceful approach.

Jones’ take might suggest a person or situation at 15 Taurus where resilience and determination lead to success, but there’s a need to remain adaptable to avoid stagnation.

Linda Hill’s Interpretation (The Sabian Oracle, 1995):
Bravery with Flair: Hill highlights the man’s rakish silk hat, reflecting Taurus’ love for beauty and style even in tough times. She sees this degree as a call to face challenges bravely while holding onto one’s personal flair or values.

Protection Against Hardship: The muffling against the cold suggests preparation and self-protection, where 15 Taurus might involve safeguarding one’s resources or emotional well-being during difficult periods.

Risk of Isolation: Hill warns that the solitary nature of the man facing the storm might lead to isolation, reflecting Taurus’ potential to become overly self-reliant or resistant to help.

Hill’s interpretation might indicate a focus on resilient self-expression at 15 Taurus, with an emphasis on balancing determination with openness to support.

Charubel’s Degree Symbol for 15 Taurus: "A Man Standing in a Field, Holding a Spade, Looking at the Sky"
Grounded Ambition: Charubel’s image of a man with a spade looking at the sky reflects Taurus’ earthy, practical nature combined with a sense of aspiration. The spade symbolizes hard work and grounding, while the sky represents dreams or higher goals.

Balancing Earth and Sky: This degree suggests a tension between Taurus’ focus on the material (field, spade) and a longing for something greater (sky), indicating that 15 Taurus involves aligning practical efforts with broader aspirations.

Potential for Inaction: Charubel’s symbols sometimes carry a caution, and this degree might warn against becoming too absorbed in dreams without taking action, reflecting Taurus’ tendency to resist change.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Degree Theory Interpretation for 15 Taurus
Degree theory, per Nikola Stojanovic, assigns each degree a zodiacal influence based on its numerical correspondence (e.g., 15 degrees corresponds to Gemini, as 15 reduces to 1+5=6, but Stojanovic often maps degrees directly; 15 is associated with Gemini in some interpretations). At 15 Taurus, this adds a Gemini flavor to Taurus’ energy:
Curious Stability: Gemini’s intellectual, communicative nature combines with Taurus’ groundedness, suggesting a practical curiosity about the material world. Someone with a planet at 15 Taurus might explore beauty, nature, or finances through learning or communication.

Adaptable Values: Gemini’s adaptability adds flexibility to Taurus’ fixed nature, leading to a more versatile approach to maintaining stability, such as exploring new ways to create or enjoy beauty.

Potential for Restlessness: The downside is a risk of Gemini’s restlessness clashing with Taurus’ need for calm, leading to scattered efforts or a lack of follow-through in material pursuits.

In a chart, a planet at 15 Taurus might indicate a blend of Taurus’ stability and Gemini’s curiosity, such as an artist or gardener who loves to learn and share knowledge about their craft.
Vedic Astrology Interpretation: 15 Taurus (20°00'–20°59' Aries in Vedic)
In Vedic astrology, due to the ayanamsa (approximately 24 degrees as of 2025), 15 Taurus in tropical astrology corresponds to 20°00'–20°59' Aries in the sidereal zodiac. Aries in Vedic astrology is ruled by Mars (Mangal), associated with action, courage, energy, and pioneering spirit.
Nakshatra: Bharani (13°20'–26°40' Aries):
Bharani nakshatra, ruled by Venus (Shukra) and associated with Yama (the deity of death and transformation), governs this degree. Bharani means “the bearer” and is symbolized by a yoni (womb), reflecting birth, death, and transformation. It’s a nakshatra of creation, struggle, and karmic responsibility.

Traits at 20° Aries: At 20 degrees Aries, Bharani’s energy emphasizes transformation through action, with a focus on creation and responsibility. Venus’ influence adds a layer of beauty and desire, while Aries’ Martian nature reinforces boldness and initiative.

Connection to Stability: Bharani’s transformative energy might manifest as a Taurus-like stability through the creation of new beginnings, such as building something enduring through bold, responsible action.

Pada (Sub-Division): The degree 20°00'–20°59' Aries falls in Bharani’s 3rd pada (20°00'–23°20' Aries), which corresponds to the Virgo navamsa (each nakshatra pada maps to a navamsa sign). Virgo navamsa adds a practical, service-oriented layer, suggesting that the stable energy of 15 Taurus might be expressed through meticulous, transformative action in Vedic astrology, with a focus on responsibility.

Vedic Interpretation: A planet at 20° Aries in Vedic astrology might indicate someone who builds stability (Taurus’ tropical influence) through bold, transformative action (Aries/Mars, Bharani/Venus), often with a practical, service-oriented approach (Virgo navamsa). This could manifest as a pioneering effort to create beauty or security, such as starting a business, gardening project, or artistic endeavor with a focus on responsibility.

Connection to UFOs (Per Your Interest): In Vedic astrology, Bharani’s association with transformation and Yama ties to the mysteries of life and death, potentially reflecting an interest in UFOs as a transformative, otherworldly phenomenon. At 20° Aries, a planet might indicate a bold, action-oriented fascination with cosmic mysteries, possibly through practical research or creative expression (Virgo navamsa), aligning with the tropical 15 Taurus’ grounded, resilient approach to the unknown.

Synthesis of 15 Taurus’ Symbolism
Across these interpretations, 15 Taurus consistently evokes themes of stability, resilience, and beauty, often with a focus on enduring challenges or cultivating lasting value:
Sabian Symbol (Man Facing Storm): Courage in adversity, reflecting Taurus’ steadfast determination while maintaining personal flair.

Charubel (Man with Spade): Grounded ambition, highlighting Taurus’ practical efforts balanced with aspiration, but with a caution against inaction.

Sepharial (Garden with Fountain): Harmony and abundance, emphasizing Taurus’ creation of beauty and spiritual renewal.



Degree Theory (Gemini Influence): Curious stability, blending Taurus’ groundedness with Gemini’s versatility.

Vedic (20° Aries, Bharani): Transformative action with a practical edge (Virgo navamsa), reflecting bold creation of beauty and stability.

In a natal chart, 15 Taurus might describe someone who builds lasting value through patient, practical effort, often with a love for beauty and a resilient approach to challenges, possibly incorporating curiosity and communication. In transit, it could mark a period of enduring difficulties with determination, creating beauty, or laying foundations for future growth.
Contextual Application (May 16, 2025)
On May 16, 2025, at 03:49 PM BST, the Sun is around 25 Taurus, not at 15 Taurus (the Sun typically reaches 15 Taurus around May 5). However, if a planet like Venus (Taurus’ ruler) transits 15 Taurus (typically around late April or early May), these themes might surface:
Venus at 15 Taurus: A powerful focus on beauty and stability, where one creates or appreciates art, nature, or relationships with resilience and flair.

Moon at 15 Taurus: An emotional need for security, potentially leading to a nurturing, grounded approach to facing challenges.

Mercury at 15 Taurus: A practical, curious approach to material matters, possibly involving communication about beauty, finance, or nature.

Connection to UFOs (Per Your Interest)
The stable, resilient energy of 15 Taurus ties to UFOs through its grounded pursuit of the unknown:
Tropical (15 Taurus): The “man facing a storm” symbol might reflect a steadfast investigation of UFOs, enduring skepticism or challenges to uncover cosmic truths, aligning with Taurus’ determination.

Vedic (20° Aries, Bharani): Bharani’s transformative energy and Venus’ influence suggest a bold, creative approach to UFO phenomena, possibly through practical research or artistic expression (Virgo navamsa), with a focus on creating something enduring.

Taurus 15. A platinum crucible. (Omega Symbol)Transforming/Inspired

(Degree Angel: Sehaliah (say-HA-lee-YAH) The Power of Prosperity, Motivation and Willfulness)

The purpose of a platinum crucible in scientific terms is that platinum has an extremely high melting point, and so therefore can be used to melt substances which also have a high melting point but one that is lower than platinum. In other words, the essence of platinum has an extreme resistance to heat.

You are a highly receptive person, and are learning in this lifetime how to let the negativity that you accumulate be burned away by the fires of your love. You need to learn how to maintain emotional peace and tranquility even in the midst of the energetic turbulence swirling around you. As you perfect this, your being expresses more and more the transmutative power of peace.

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “His best friend sings a song at his funeral.” Love heals the fear of change. The constancy of love is like the platinum crucible which can withstand the fires of transformation. The secret of this degree is that through losing what we have again and again we come to learn what it is we truly have, which is identical with who we truly are – eternal beings.

Pleiadian Symbol: An invisible man shrouded in clothing.

Azoth Symbol: A coven of elders sharing a meal during the full moon.

Seed degree: Virgo 20. Worshipers circumambulating a sacred stone. (Omega Symbol). Devoting ourselves to working with the challenges of the material world, wwe become receptive to whatever deep and profound transmutations need to occur.

The expanse of the Himalayas in the distance. (Chandra Symbol). The grandeur and sublimity of spiritual realities impels us o thank the world for beauty which has passed and to accept its passing, knowing within ourselves that we are eternally connected to it.

Fulfillment degree: Sagittarius 4. A great teacher lecturing in an empty classroom. (Omega Symbol). Faithfully supporting the process of change we hold to our path and our truth even when it seems non-productive.

A young prince undresses to bathe in a pool. (Chandra Symbol). Letting go of the past and acknowledging our enduring connection to love, we are able to engage with our emotional sself more directly and vitally.

Oracle

(From Aandar's Secrets of Alchemy): . . .”A bowl which shines so smoothly and brightly it appears as a mirror. It is platinum, a metal that hides in minute amounts in gold, for the purpose of anchoring it in these lower realms. For gold is a potent fire, that otherwise might burn that which it desires to enliven, were it not for platinum's protection. And so, to soften gold's fearful dragon, this barely discernible touch of pure cold, given by platinum, soothes gold's fierceness, and creates for it a womb wherein it may more fully incubate its wonders.

“It is for this reason the sages have said that a tiny grain of blue ice lies, unmelted, at the center of the Sun.”
---------------------------------------------------


Omega Symbol: "A Platinum Crucible" (Transforming/Inspired)
Symbolism and Meaning:
Platinum Crucible: In scientific terms, a platinum crucible is used for its extreme resistance to heat, capable of withstanding high temperatures to melt substances with lower melting points. Symbolically, this represents an unyielding container for transformation, where intense energies (heat) are held and processed without breaking down.

Transformative Resilience: Sandbach interprets this as a metaphor for the individual’s ability to handle emotional or energetic “heat”—the turbulence of life—while maintaining inner peace. Taurus, ruled by Venus, is associated with stability and beauty, and at 15 Taurus, this stability becomes a vessel for profound transformation. The “platinum” quality suggests a rare, enduring strength that can withstand the fires of change.

Emotional Alchemy: The degree emphasizes learning to burn away negativity through love, a process of emotional alchemy. This aligns with Taurus’ grounded nature, where one’s steady, loving presence can transmute chaos into peace, much like a crucible holds molten material without melting itself.

Purpose: Sandbach highlights that 15 Taurus is about cultivating emotional tranquility amidst external turmoil, allowing the individual to embody the “transmutative power of peace.” This suggests a path of spiritual growth where resilience leads to a deeper, transformative serenity.

Practical Application:
In a natal chart, a planet at 15 Taurus might indicate someone who naturally acts as a stabilizing force, capable of enduring intense situations while maintaining inner calm. They might excel in roles that require emotional strength, such as counseling, caregiving, or leadership in crisis situations.

In transit, this degree could signify a period where one faces challenges (the storm, as seen in other interpretations) but learns to hold space for transformation, using love and peace to navigate difficulties.

Chandra Symbol: "His Best Friend Sings a Song at His Funeral"
Symbolism and Meaning:
Love Amidst Loss: The image of a best friend singing at a funeral reflects a poignant moment of love and connection in the face of death, a ultimate form of change. This resonates with Taurus’ themes of constancy and enduring value, where love remains a steady force even through loss.

Healing Through Constancy: Sandbach connects this to the Omega symbol by noting that “love heals the fear of change.” The song—a creative, heartfelt expression—symbolizes the continuity of love, much like the platinum crucible’s ability to withstand transformation. Taurus’ fixed nature ensures that what is truly valuable (love, connection) persists beyond material or temporal shifts.

Eternal Identity: The deeper lesson here is about recognizing what is eternal. Sandbach states that “through losing what we have again and again we come to learn what it is we truly have, which is identical with who we truly are—eternal beings.” This reflects a spiritual awakening at 15 Taurus, where one discovers their immutable essence through the cycles of loss and change.

Emotional Resilience: The funeral setting, while somber, is uplifted by the act of singing, suggesting that 15 Taurus involves finding beauty and meaning in the face of adversity, aligning with Taurus’ Venusian capacity for creating harmony.

Practical Application:
In a natal chart, this might describe someone who brings comfort and beauty to others during times of loss or change, perhaps through art, music, or emotional support. They may have a deep understanding of life’s impermanence and use this to foster connection.

In transit, this degree could indicate a time of letting go—whether of a person, situation, or old identity—where love and creative expression help one process the transition and find peace.

Pleiadian Symbol: "An Invisible Man Shrouded in Clothing"
Symbolism and Meaning:
Hidden Essence: The invisible man shrouded in clothing suggests a hidden or unseen core, wrapped in a visible exterior. In Taurus, this reflects the sign’s focus on the material world (clothing) while hinting at a deeper, spiritual essence (invisibility) that remains unseen.

Stability in the Unseen: This symbol aligns with Sandbach’s theme of eternal identity, where the true self (the invisible man) persists beyond the material form. Taurus’ grounded nature ensures that this hidden essence is protected and stable, even as the external world shifts.

Mystery and Value: The image also evokes a sense of mystery, suggesting that 15 Taurus might involve valuing what is not immediately apparent—whether inner qualities, spiritual truths, or hidden resources.

Practical Application:
This might manifest as someone who appears practical and grounded (Taurus) but holds a deep, spiritual depth that isn’t always visible to others. They might be drawn to uncovering hidden truths or working behind the scenes to create stability.

Azoth Symbol: "A Coven of Elders Sharing a Meal During the Full Moon"
Symbolism and Meaning:
Communal Wisdom: The coven of elders sharing a meal reflects Taurus’ association with nourishment and community, while the elders suggest wisdom and tradition. The full moon adds a mystical, intuitive layer, indicating a time of culmination and illumination.

Nurturing Through Ritual: This symbol emphasizes Taurus’ ability to create stability through shared rituals, where food (a Taurean theme) becomes a medium for connection and wisdom. The full moon suggests a heightened awareness, aligning with the transformative theme of 15 Taurus.

Spiritual Bonding: The coven implies a spiritual or sacred gathering, suggesting that 15 Taurus might involve nurturing others through communal, ritualistic experiences that honor tradition and intuition.

Practical Application:
This could indicate a person or period where one finds strength in community, tradition, or spiritual practices, using these to foster stability and transformation. It might involve hosting gatherings, sharing knowledge, or connecting with others on a deeper level.

Degree Angel: Sehaliah (say-HA-lee-YAH) – "The Power of Prosperity, Motivation and Willfulness"
Spiritual Guidance:
Sehaliah governs prosperity, motivation, and willfulness, suggesting that 15 Taurus has a higher purpose—using resilience and stability to manifest abundance and drive. This aligns with Taurus’ focus on material security, but the angelic influence adds a spiritual dimension, where prosperity is both material and emotional.

The “willfulness” aspect ties to the man facing the storm, indicating that 15 Taurus involves a determined effort to overcome challenges, fueled by a deep motivation to create lasting value.

Seed Degree: Virgo 20 – "Worshipers Circumambulating a Sacred Stone" (Omega Symbol)
Foundational Energy:
This seed degree suggests that 15 Taurus’ transformative power stems from a disciplined, reverent engagement with the material world (Virgo). The act of circumambulating a sacred stone reflects a structured devotion to the physical realm, which prepares one for the profound transmutations symbolized by the platinum crucible. It indicates that 15 Taurus builds on a foundation of practical, grounded effort to achieve spiritual growth.

Fulfillment Degree: Leo 9 – "A Flash of Lightning Illuminating a Dark Sky"
Outcome:
The fulfillment degree points to a dramatic revelation or moment of clarity (Leo), where the patient, transformative work of 15 Taurus leads to a sudden illumination. This suggests that enduring challenges with peace and love (15 Taurus) results in a powerful, creative breakthrough, aligning with Leo’s expressive, radiant energy.

Synthesis with Broader 15 Taurus Interpretations
Sandbach’s interpretations align with the broader symbolic framework for 15 Taurus, as previously explored:
Omega Symbol (Platinum Crucible): Ties to the Sabian symbol’s “man facing a storm,” emphasizing resilience and the ability to withstand adversity. The crucible’s transformative power mirrors Taurus’ capacity to endure and transmute challenges into peace.

Chandra Symbol (Friend Singing at Funeral): Resonates with Sepharial’s “beautiful garden with a fountain,” where beauty and love persist through change, offering healing and renewal. It also connects to Lonsdale’s “farmer planting seeds,” as both suggest a focus on what endures beyond loss—whether love or future growth.

Pleiadian Symbol (Invisible Man): Echoes the theme of hidden essence, similar to Charubel’s “man looking at the sky,” where the unseen (sky, invisibility) holds deeper value, reflecting Taurus’ spiritual depth beneath its material focus.

Azoth Symbol (Coven of Elders): Aligns with the broader theme of nurturing stability, as seen in the Sabian symbol’s grounded courage and the Chandra symbol’s communal love, emphasizing Taurus’ role in creating enduring, supportive environments.

Connection to UFOs (Per User’s Interest)
Sandbach’s symbols at 15 Taurus tie to UFO phenomena through their themes of transformation and hidden truths:
Platinum Crucible: The crucible’s ability to withstand intense heat mirrors a steadfast pursuit of cosmic knowledge, enduring skepticism or challenges (the “storm”) to uncover extraterrestrial truths. This resonates with Taurus’ determination to explore the unknown in a grounded way.

Friend Singing at Funeral: The act of finding beauty in loss could reflect processing a transformative UFO experience—where the “death” of old beliefs (funeral) leads to a new understanding, expressed through creative or communal means (singing).

Invisible Man Shrouded in Clothing: The invisible man suggests a hidden cosmic presence, aligning with UFOs as unseen entities that influence the material world, which Taurus might explore through practical or sensory means.

Coven of Elders: A communal gathering under the full moon might symbolize a group effort to understand UFOs, possibly through intuitive or ritualistic means, reflecting Taurus’ nurturing approach to cosmic mysteries.

Practical Application (May 16, 2025)
On May 16, 2025, at 03:58 PM BST, the Sun is around 25 Taurus, not at 15 Taurus. However, Sandbach’s interpretation can still offer insight into a hypothetical transit or natal placement:
Venus at 15 Taurus (if transiting): Venus, Taurus’ ruler, here would amplify the degree’s focus on beauty and love as transformative forces, potentially leading to a period of creating art or relationships that heal and endure challenges.

Moon at 15 Taurus: An emotional focus on stability, where one might process change (like a UFO encounter) through love and peace, finding comfort in communal or creative expression.

In summary, Sandbach’s symbols for 15 Taurus emphasize resilience, transformation, and the enduring power of love, aligning with Taurus’ grounded nature while adding a spiritual, alchemical layer. These themes resonate with the user’s interest in UFOs by suggesting a steady, transformative pursuit of cosmic truths, often through beauty, community, or hidden insights.
===============================================================

Sabian Symbol: “His best friend sings a song at his funeral.”
This image evokes a poignant moment of love and connection transcending loss. The act of singing at a funeral suggests a heartfelt tribute, a celebration of life amid grief. It aligns with the degree’s theme: “Love heals the fear of change.” The funeral represents an ultimate change—death—but the song, an expression of love, provides continuity and comfort. The platinum crucible metaphor reinforces this, symbolizing a vessel (love) that endures the intense fires of transformation (life’s changes, including loss). Platinum is durable, resistant to corrosion, and unchanging, reflecting the constancy of love. The deeper lesson is that through repeated experiences of loss (“losing what we have again and again”), we realize our eternal nature—our true essence, which is unchanging and aligned with love. This symbol teaches that love is a bridge between the temporal and eternal, helping us embrace change without fear.
Pleiadian Symbol: “An invisible man shrouded in clothing.”
This symbol suggests a presence that exists but is not fully seen, emphasizing the tension between the material and the unseen. The invisible man represents the eternal self—our true, spiritual essence that persists beyond physical form. The clothing symbolizes the temporary roles, identities, or material attachments we adopt in life. This ties to the degree’s theme of discovering who we truly are through loss. As we shed layers (like clothing), we uncover our invisible, eternal core. The shroud also hints at mystery, suggesting that while the physical world obscures our true nature, love and connection (as in the Sabian symbol) reveal it. This symbol underscores the idea that change strips away the superficial, guiding us to the unchanging truth of our being.
Azoth Symbol: “A coven of elders sharing a meal during the full moon.”
This image evokes community, wisdom, and cyclical renewal. A coven of elders suggests a group bound by shared knowledge and experience, while sharing a meal symbolizes nourishment, unity, and love. The full moon adds a layer of culmination, intuition, and alignment with natural rhythms, reinforcing the theme of constancy amid change. The elders, having lived through many transformations, embody the wisdom of the degree: they’ve learned what they truly have (love, connection, eternal essence) through life’s cycles of gain and loss. The full moon’s light mirrors the illumination of this truth. This symbol connects to the Sabian’s funeral scene by highlighting communal love as a healing force and to the Pleiadian’s invisible man by suggesting that true essence is revealed in moments of shared, timeless connection.

Synthesis
Together, these symbols paint a picture of 15° Taurus as a degree of profound spiritual insight. The Sabian symbol emphasizes love’s role in overcoming the fear of change, using the funeral and song to illustrate how love endures beyond loss. The Pleiadian symbol delves into the discovery of the eternal self, hidden beneath temporary forms, aligning with the idea that loss reveals our true nature. The Azoth symbol brings in community and cyclical wisdom, showing how shared love and experience anchor us in the eternal. All three symbols converge on the degree’s core message: through the crucible of change, we learn that love is constant, and our true self—eternal and unchanging—is revealed. This degree invites us to embrace transformation, trusting that love will guide us to our deepest truth.

14-15 deg Taurus
Symbol: A hoary, venerable looking augur looks up at a flight of seven birds. Desert around.
The native possesses the gift of inspiring unconsciously and nearly unintentionally, a sudden and durable liking, and to make others TRUST him as much as he himself. Whether the field of researches he keenly pursues is material or spiritual, his ideas will be original, daring, uncommon; his intuition may even foreshadow the future.
In heathen ages he would have been an oracle, a fulguriator, a Sybil. In this materialistic age, he may get the hang of scientific or material truths as if by inspiration, but his mind will ever run to the hidden causes and the living root of phenomena. A deeply religious being, he will, short of any
confessional faith, worship the scientific line he has embraced. Should the horoscope bear it out, his life would have an ascetical outlook.

This degree tends to give a bold, icy temper if the Fire element is absent from the rest of the pattern.
Nevertheless, this somewhat uncouth being, lost in his mighty visions and more or less indifferent to love, may have a following of utterly devoted friends and of disciples not likely to forget his teachings. In unusual and remarkable patterns, such a being may well end by being looked at as a forerunner or a prophet by posterity, and his doctrine may become an article of blind faith.

Symbol: A student with lamp in hand, standing at the entrance of a cavern from which issue clouds of soft, light, rosy Vapor.


Denotes a person whose tastes and desires are directed to the understanding of the secrets which rest beneath the veil.


He has brought to earth from other sources the knowledge which enables him to
find the entrance to the cavern of hidden jewels, but it is doubtful if he can enter, for the gateway is guarded by sublime and intense colors caused by more excessive vibrations than can be endured by the human body. The light vapor approaching the “Ultra” stage is more powerful and effective than dragons of fire. It is a symbol of Initiation.
