Dane Rudhyar’s Interpretation of 25-26 Sagittarius

Rudhyar’s Sabian symbol for 25-26 Sagittarius (“A chubby boy on a hobbyhorse”) emphasizes ambition, emulation, and the use of imagination to achieve self-fulfillment and leave a lasting mark. Key points:Symbolism: The “chubby boy on a hobbyhorse” represents a youthful, playful drive to achieve greatness, using imagination and practice (play) to pursue ambitious goals. The hobbyhorse symbolizes early, imaginative steps toward mastery, akin to training for future success.
Core Theme: Ambition drives individuals to leave an “immortal stamp” on the world by developing skills and focusing on goals. Emulation—modeling oneself after heroes or ideals—is central to this process.
Keyword: Emulation—imitating admired figures to expand one’s potential.
Positive Expression: Indomitable determination to give lesser potentialities a greater dimension, using imagination and effort to achieve meaningful growth.
Negative Expression: Idle self-indulgence or false claims of merit, where ambition becomes hollow or ego-driven.
Context: Rudhyar sees this degree as part of Sagittarius’s quest for self-transcendence, aligning with the sign’s focus on expansion, vision, and higher purpose.

Comparison with Lyn Birbeck’s InterpretationSimilarities:Both emphasize imagination and play (Birbeck’s “make-believe,” Rudhyar’s “hobbyhorse”) as tools for growth.
Both highlight emulation (Birbeck’s “modelled upon heroes and dreams,” Rudhyar’s “emulation”) as a driver of ambition.
Both warn against self-indulgence (Birbeck’s “puffed-up sense of self,” Rudhyar’s “idle self-indulgence”) that undermines authentic progress.

Differences:Birbeck focuses on indulgence and support (e.g., a “golden opportunity”) and relational dynamics, while Rudhyar emphasizes ambition and the individual’s drive to leave a lasting legacy.
Birbeck’s “pet subject” highlights personal passions, whereas Rudhyar’s “emulation” focuses on skill-building and goal-oriented practice.

Complementary Insights:

Birbeck’s relational and playful lens complements Rudhyar’s focus on ambition and legacy, together painting a fuller picture of how imagination (make-believe) and focused effort (pet subject, emulation) drive transformation.

Connecting Rudhyar’s Interpretation to Scrooge and A Christmas Carol

Rudhyar’s Sabian symbol enhances the connection between the Sun at 24-25 Sagittarius (and hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius) and Scrooge’s transformation in A Christmas Carol, particularly through emulation, ambition, and imagination. Below, I’ll tie these to Scrooge’s arc, the chart’s 4th house themes (deep psychology, homestead), and Birbeck’s insights.1. Emulation and Scrooge’s

TransformationRudhyar’s Emulation: The “chubby boy on a hobbyhorse” symbolizes emulating heroes to achieve greatness. Scrooge’s transformation involves emulating positive figures:The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge his younger self and Fezziwig, a generous employer, whom he emulates by becoming kinder to Bob Cratchit.
The Ghost of Christmas Present highlights Fred’s warmth and the Cratchits’ resilience, inspiring Scrooge to model their compassion.
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come warns against a lonely legacy, pushing Scrooge to emulate a better self.
This mirrors Rudhyar’s “indomitable determination” to expand potential, as Scrooge uses these visions to reshape his life.

Sun at 24-25 Sagittarius: The Sun, representing core identity, at this degree reflects Scrooge’s latent ambition to live meaningfully, initially misdirected toward wealth. His emulation of positive figures aligns his identity with Sagittarian optimism, fulfilling Rudhyar’s vision of giving “lesser potentialities” a greater dimension.
Hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius: If the IC were here, it would root Scrooge’s emotional foundations in a desire to emulate ideals of hope and connection. His subconscious (4th house) shifts from isolation to a vision of community, driven by imaginative emulation.
Deep Psychology: The 4th house governs subconscious patterns. Rudhyar’s emphasis on emulation suggests Scrooge’s psychological transformation involves adopting new models to overcome his “idle self-indulgence” (greed), aligning with his inner ambition for meaning.
Homestead: Scrooge’s home, initially cold, becomes a hub of generosity (e.g., sending the Cratchits a turkey), reflecting Rudhyar’s idea of leaving an “immortal stamp” through a transformed homestead.

2. Ambition and Scrooge’s LegacyRudhyar’s Ambition: The degree emphasizes ambition to leave a lasting mark through skill-building and goal-focused effort. Scrooge’s initial ambition is materialistic, but the ghosts redirect it toward a legacy of kindness:His support for the Cratchits (e.g., saving Tiny Tim) and reconnection with Fred create a lasting impact, aligning with Rudhyar’s “immortal stamp.”
The hobbyhorse symbolizes his playful, early steps toward this new ambition, using imagination to practice generosity.

Sun at 24-25 Sagittarius: Scrooge’s core identity shifts from selfish ambition to a Sagittarian drive for moral and social impact, resonating with Rudhyar’s focus on self-fulfillment through higher goals.
Hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius: An IC here would ground Scrooge’s ambition in his emotional roots, transforming his homestead into a symbol of his new legacy (e.g., a warm, connected home).
Deep Psychology: Scrooge’s subconscious ambition (4th house) is initially distorted by fear and greed, but the ghosts awaken a higher purpose, overcoming Rudhyar’s “ingenious claims of merit” (false pride in wealth).
Homestead: His transformed homestead reflects his ambition to leave a positive mark, aligning with the Cratchit family’s hopeful home as a model.

3. Imagination and Make-BelieveRudhyar’s Imagination: The hobbyhorse represents imaginative play as a training ground for achievement. The ghosts’ visions are Scrooge’s “hobbyhorse,” a make-believe journey that sparks his transformation, echoing Birbeck’s “make-believe” theme.The Ghost of Christmas Past uses imagination to reconnect Scrooge with his youthful potential.
The Ghost of Christmas Present and Yet to Come present idealized and cautionary visions, fueling his ambition to change.

Sun at 24-25 Sagittarius: The Sun at this degree reflects Scrooge’s identity being reshaped through imaginative visions, aligning with Rudhyar’s and Birbeck’s emphasis on play as a path to growth.
Hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius: This would root Scrooge’s emotional core in imaginative exploration, making his homestead a place where make-believe (visions) fosters renewal.
Deep Psychology: The 4th house/IC ties to subconscious imagination. Rudhyar’s hobbyhorse symbolizes Scrooge’s inner child, awakened to pursue a fuller life, overcoming self-indulgence.
Homestead: The imaginative visions transform Scrooge’s home from isolation to warmth, reflecting Rudhyar’s idea of expanding potential through play.

4. Connection to Birbeck’s InsightsMake-Believe: Rudhyar’s hobbyhorse complements Birbeck’s “horsing around,” both emphasizing imaginative play as a catalyst for growth. Scrooge’s ghostly visions are a form of make-believe that align with both interpretations, driving his transformation.
Pet Subject: Rudhyar’s focus on ambition aligns with Birbeck’s “pet subject” (personal passion). Scrooge’s initial pet subject (wealth) is self-indulgent (Rudhyar’s negative expression), but his new passion (generosity) reflects both authors’ positive calls for growth and fulfillment.
Emulation vs. Support: Rudhyar’s emulation (modeling heroes) complements Birbeck’s idea of support from others. Scrooge emulates figures like Fezziwig and Fred, supported by the ghosts’ guidance, fulfilling both visions.
Warnings: Both warn against self-indulgence—Rudhyar’s “idle self-indulgence” and Birbeck’s “puffed-up sense of self” mirror Scrooge’s initial greed, which he overcomes to achieve authentic growth.

5. Planets at the Bottom of the ChartSun at 24-25 Sagittarius: As the primary planet near the bottom (though not at the Gemini IC), the Sun ties Scrooge’s identity to the 4th house themes of deep psychology and homestead. His transformation through emulation and imagination (Rudhyar) reshapes his subconscious and home life, aligning with A Christmas Carol’s message.
Hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius: If the IC were here, it would root Scrooge’s emotional foundations in Sagittarian ambition and imagination, amplifying his psychological shift (4th house) from isolation to connection. His homestead becomes a symbol of his “immortal stamp” (Rudhyar).
Deep Psychology: The 4th house governs subconscious patterns. Rudhyar’s emphasis on emulation suggests Scrooge’s psychological growth involves adopting new models (e.g., Fezziwig’s kindness) to overcome self-indulgent greed, aligning with his inner ambition.
Homestead: Scrooge’s home transforms from a lonely space to a hub of generosity, reflecting Rudhyar’s idea of expanding potential through imaginative effort, with the Cratchit home as a model.

6. Connection to A Christmas Carol’s PublicationSun at 24-25 Sagittarius: On December 17, 1843, the Sun’s placement reflects the story’s Sagittarian themes of optimism and moral expansion. Rudhyar’s “immortal stamp” aligns with Dickens’ intent to leave a lasting social impact through the story’s call for compassion.
Hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius: If symbolic, this would root the story’s emotional core in imagination and ambition, mirroring Scrooge’s transformation and the story’s universal appeal.
Story’s Themes: Rudhyar’s focus on emulation and ambition ties to Scrooge’s journey from self-indulgence to meaningful legacy, while the hobbyhorse reflects the imaginative visions that drive this change, complementing Birbeck’s make-believe and pet subject.

Contextual NotesChart Discrepancy: At 10:00 AM GMT, the IC is in Gemini, not 24-25 Sagittarius. A Sun/IC conjunction at 24-25 Sagittarius requires a ~1:30 AM GMT chart. If you intended this time or a symbolic chart (e.g., for Scrooge), Rudhyar’s insights strengthen the connection. If you meant 10:00 AM, the Sun alone at 24-25 Sagittarius still ties to the story’s themes.
1843 vs. 1943: You previously mentioned 1943, but A Christmas Carol was published in 1843. On December 17, 1943, the Sun was at 24-25 Sagittarius, but the IC was in Cancer, shifting the homestead focus to nurturing. If 1943 relates to an adaptation, Rudhyar’s themes of imagination apply to its retelling. Please confirm the year.
July 24, 2025: Your timestamp (02:39 PM BST, July 24, 2025) and prior questions (e.g., Corbyn’s party launch) suggest you’re exploring Sagittarian themes. If the 1843 chart is unrelated, Rudhyar’s interpretation may symbolically link to current events, but it directly enhances the Scrooge connection.
Kronos and MC: Your earlier question about Kronos conjunct MC (implying MC at 24-25 Gemini, opposite a Sagittarius IC) doesn’t align with the 10:00 AM chart (MC in Sagittarius). If relevant, Kronos could represent Scrooge’s authoritative shift, but Rudhyar’s focus is on the Sun/IC.

ConclusionDane Rudhyar’s interpretation of 25-26 Sagittarius (“A chubby boy on a hobbyhorse”) deepens the connection to Scrooge and A Christmas Carol by emphasizing emulation, ambition, and imagination, complementing Lyn Birbeck’s focus on make-believe and pet subject. The Sun at 24-25 Sagittarius in the December 17, 1843, chart reflects Scrooge’s core identity transforming through emulating positive figures (e.g., Fezziwig, Fred), using imaginative visions (the ghosts’ “hobbyhorse”) to achieve a lasting legacy of generosity, aligning with Rudhyar’s “immortal stamp.” The hypothetical IC at 24-25 Sagittarius roots this transformation in Scrooge’s deep psychology (4th house), shifting his subconscious from greed to hope, and his homestead from isolation to community. Rudhyar’s warning against self-indulgence mirrors Scrooge’s initial flaw, while his call for determination reflects his redemption. Together with Birbeck’s insights, these interpretations tie the chart to A Christmas Carol’s themes of imaginative growth and moral expansion.

Uranian Astrology - another take
Dec. 21st, 2023 11:55 am
Uranian astrologers use the cardinal axis or eight armed cross to represent the world at large. With the pointer on the Cardinal Axis, the astrologer looks for planets symmetrically arranged around the axis or in aspect to the axis. When the midpoint of two planets falls around the 0 Cancer/0 Capricorn axis, they are said to be in antiscia. The use of antiscia is not unique to Uranian astrology but finding antiscia using the 360-degree dial is. Contra-antiscia, symmetry around the 0 Aries/0 Libra axis, is also easily visible using the dial. But, Uranians take antiscia even further and also examine the symmetry or midpoints of planets around 15 degrees of Leo/Aquarius and Taurus/Scorpio. Not only is this technique useful to describe world events on a particular day or place, but we can also use the position of the planets at birth relative to this eight-armed cross to describe the unique connection of the individual with the world at large. After all, the planets are constantly moving in relationship to one another and thereby define the course of human history in the broadest sense as well as in every day ways. How a person fits into this universal, ever-changing rhythm is quite elegantly defined in how the planets were arranged around the cardinal axis at their specific time and place of birth.

In fact, the Cardinal Axis is the first of the “personal points” of the Uranian system. It is the outer personal point that represents our connection to the world in general. The second “outer” personal point is the Ascendant. This point describes how a person relates in their immediate surroundings and it rules the “place.” The third outer personal point is the Moon’s Node. Through this point, we may examine a person’s intimate connections, those that are of a karmic variety.

The next three personal points are considered “inner” personal points. The first is the Sun, representing the will and ego of the individual. The Sun also rules the “day.” The Moon is the second inner personal point, representing the emotions of the individual. The Moon also rules the “hour.” Finally, the last of the inner personal points is the MC. The MC represents the person’s unique individuality, soul or spirit of the individual. It rules the moment or “minute.”

One popular misconception about Uranian astrologers is that they don’t use houses. In fact, the seasoned Uranian astrologer uses six house systems for each of the personal points. The Meridian House system is probably the most important of the six since it represents the native’s point of you. This house system is divided along the equator rather than the ecliptic and, therefore, the houses are more or less equal in size. The First house of the Meridian system is also known as the Equatorial Ascendant and describes how the person sees himself. The point known as the Ascendant may actually fall in the 12th house of the Meridian house system.

The Earth Horoscope or houses of the Earth have 0 Cancer as the Tenth house or MC and 0 Libra on the First house. Therefore, a person with Sun in Sagittarius would have the Sun in the Third house of the Earth. The Earth Horoscope represents the earth and the generality; it is how the person operates in the world.

The Ascendant is the First house of the Ascendant Horoscope. Subsequent houses occur at equal 30-degree intervals. The Ascendant Horoscope represents the person’s connection to their environment and how they operate in a specific locale.

The Sun Horoscope is found by using the Sun as the Fourth house cusp. Subsequent houses occur at equal 30-degree intervals. The Sun Horoscope represents the physical body as well as the relationship to the father.

The Moon Horoscope is found by using the Moon as the Tenth house cusp. Subsequent houses occur at equal 30-degree intervals. The Moon Horoscope describes the emotional life of the individual as well as the Mother.

The Node Horoscope is found by using the Node as the First house cusp. Subsequent houses occur at equal 30-degree intervals. The Node Horoscope represents the intimate or karmic connections.

The hypothetical or “trans-neptunian” planets are probably the most controversial aspect of the system. However, after the discovery of Neptune, it was very much in fashion for astronomers to postulate the orbits and existence of new planets. The orbits of the planets were derived by looking back through events and charts and filling in the missing threads. The first four planets were proposed by Witte alone and the second four were proposed together with Sieggrun. The planets are: Cupido, Hades, Zeus, Kronos, Apollon, Admetos, Vulcanus and Poseidon. The fastest of the eight, Cupido, moves slightly more than one degree per year. The slowest, Poseidon, moves about ½ degree per year.

Ð (Cupido) rules marriage, family, groups, society, the arts, cliques and clannishness.

Ñ (Hades) represents poverty, suffering, garbage, filth, secrets, loneliness, decomposition, antiquity, service in the highest or lowest sense.

Ñ (Zeus) signifies fire, weapons, the military, machinery, conception, creativity, purposeful action, drive and obsessions.

Ó (Kronos) rules authority, government, rulers, nobility, mastery, independence, anything about average, superiority.

Ô (Apollon) symbolizes great success, expansion, multitudes or the many, open spaces, peace, commerce and trade, science, great intellect, the “big picture” as opposed to the details.

Õ (Admetos) represents the beginning and the end (the wheel of life), endurance, depth, focus, specialization, the few, raw materials, real estate, standstill, death and blockages.

Ö (Vulcanus) has to do with great strength, power, might forces, fate, destiny, control issues, violent eruptions.

× (Poseidon) symbolizes enlightenment and wisdom, the life force, spirituality, light, universality, mediumistic, visionary, intellectual.

The ‘Carrier Pigeon’ needs to deliver a message or bridge distances
between people. However, this ‘Mission’ may not necessarily be
positive or personally rewarding. The message being conveyed
may be harmful or malicious gossip or merely useless information.
In that case, the outcome may be less than desirable. This Symbol
shows the importance of messages getting through to those who
need to hear them. A special job that one must fulfill can lead to
having a sense of duty or place. Whatever the ‘Mission’ is, this
Symbol indicates that done well, with love and awareness, it will
be ‘Fulfilled’ and carried out successfully. Scrooge - 6 cusp



Inspiration: Returning home is a compelling universal metaphor, since all humans
possess the inner instinct to find their way.

Today: The carrier pigeon symbolically points to the inner sense that knows when it is

Having the sense that you know what you have to do but encountering preliminary

Oracle: At the moment you may be feeling the want for love and
the need for someone in your life. You need to relax a little in
order to invite others in. The feeling of being lost and left behind
can be relieved with the touch of fabric, a whiff of perfume,
etc.; these can be a reminder of people or events past. Warm,
sentimental feelings can be expressed, or poured out, showing
tenderness and care. Carrying a beautiful lace handkerchief might
be a nice way to remind yourself of your true sense of worth
and beauty. However, this type of ‘Handkerchief’, being made
of ‘Lace’, is not really suited for too many tears, as it can be more
of an ornament that a true ‘Handkerchief’. Hence, there can be a
sense of false emotion evident with this Symbol. Sometimes we
get upset about things that needn’t really upset us, or we put on an
emotional show because we feel it’s expected of us. Being wound
up and constantly “upset” or demanding emotional attention can
put people off. Staying true to your emotions and re
