crimsoncurrentMarc Edmund Jones
Marc Edmund Jones, a foundational figure in modern astrology, developed the Sabian Symbols in 1925 with psychic Elsie Wheeler. These symbols assign a unique image to each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac, intended to reveal deeper psychological and spiritual insights. For Cancer 21 (the 21st degree of Cancer), Jones’s Sabian Symbol is:
"A prima donna singing."
Interpretation: In his book The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Jones describes this as a symbol of personal excellence and the ability to captivate others through self-expression. It suggests an individual who has refined their talents to stand out, embodying a dramatic flair and emotional resonance. The prima donna represents peak performance, but also the need for recognition, hinting at a balance between ego and artistry. Jones saw this degree as emphasizing the power of the individual voice within a collective setting, like an opera, reflecting Cancer’s emotional depth and nurturing qualities channeled into a public role.
Dane Rudhyar
Dane Rudhyar, a humanistic astrologer, expanded on Jones’s Sabian Symbols, infusing them with psychological and evolutionary meaning in works like An Astrological Mandala. For Cancer 21, he retains Jones’s symbol but reframes it:
"A prima donna singing."
Interpretation: Rudhyar interprets this as "the emotional reward accompanying cultural excellence." He sees it as the culmination of Cancer’s nurturing energy expressed through creative mastery. The prima donna’s performance is not just about talent but about connecting with an audience on a profound emotional level, reflecting Cancer’s sensitivity and need to care for others through art. Rudhyar emphasizes the transformative potential here—an individual rising above the personal to inspire the collective, aligning with his view of astrology as a tool for soul growth. He might suggest this degree marks a moment of transcending domestic concerns (Cancer’s domain) into a broader cultural contribution.
John Sandbach
John Sandbach, a contemporary astrologer, created the Chandra Symbols, a set of intuitive, dreamlike images for each zodiac degree, channeled in the 1980s with a spirit guide named Chandra. His work offers a poetic, often mystical perspective. For Cancer 21, Sandbach’s Chandra Symbol is:
"A man milking a cow."
Interpretation: Sandbach describes this as a symbol of sustenance and the practical application of nurturing. The act of milking reflects Cancer’s role as a provider, drawing out nourishment from a source through care and patience. Unlike the dramatic flair of the Sabian Symbol, Sandbach’s image is grounded, suggesting a quiet, intimate connection to life’s essentials. He might interpret this degree as an ability to extract value from emotional or material resources, emphasizing Cancer’s instinct to sustain and protect. Sandbach’s approach often highlights subtle, everyday magic, so he could see this as a call to find richness in simplicity.
Ellias Lonsdale
Ellias Lonsdale, building on Rudhyar, Jones, and Sandbach, developed his own system in Inside Degrees and 360 Degrees of Your Star Destiny, blending the Chandra Symbols with his esoteric insights. For Cancer 21, he uses Sandbach’s Chandra Symbol:
"A man milking a cow."
Interpretation: Lonsdale sees this as "the fruitful use of what’s available right here, right now." He expands it into a metaphysical narrative, portraying an individual who taps into the raw, primal flow of life—Cancer’s watery, maternal essence. The milking suggests a deep attunement to natural rhythms, a hands-on engagement with abundance that requires trust and presence. Lonsdale might frame this degree as a soul lesson in grounding emotional sensitivity into tangible outcomes, reflecting Cancer’s protective instincts turned outward. His style is visionary, so he could also hint at a spiritual dimension—like milking the "cosmic cow" of universal nourishment.
Bovee
There’s no widely recognized astrologer named "Bovee" associated with degree symbolism like the others. It’s possible this is a typo (e.g., for "Boehme," a mystic, or another figure), but without clarification, I can’t attribute a specific interpretation. If you meant someone specific, please let me know. For now, I’ll leave this blank, assuming the focus is on the other four.
Synthesis and Comparison
Jones and Rudhyar (Sabian Symbols): Both focus on "a prima donna singing," highlighting Cancer 21 as a degree of emotional expression and recognition. Jones leans toward the individual’s skill and presence, while Rudhyar emphasizes its cultural and evolutionary significance, aligning with Cancer’s nurturing turned performative.
Sandbach and Lonsdale (Chandra Symbols): Both use "a man milking a cow," shifting the focus to sustenance and practicality. Sandbach keeps it simple and earthy, while Lonsdale adds a mystical layer, seeing it as a profound interaction with life’s flow—still rooted in Cancer’s caregiving archetype.
Cancer Context: All interpretations reflect Cancer’s themes—emotion, nurturing, protection—differing in scope: public artistry (Jones/Rudhyar) versus private provision (Sandbach/Lonsdale).

Your question asks for interpretations of the 2nd degree of Aries (1°00' to 1°59' Aries, as degrees are counted from 0° to 29° within each sign) according to various astrologers known for their work on degree symbolism in astrology. These astrologers—Sepharial, Charubel, Muir, Carelli, Weber, Bardon, Cochrane, Kozminsky
===========================================================================
Degree Theory Context
Degree theory broadly assigns unique meanings to each zodiac degree, often derived from symbolic systems like the Sabian Symbols or older traditions. For Cancer 21, we’re looking at a degree in the third decan of Cancer (ruled by Pisces/Jupiter in the Chaldean system), suggesting a blend of emotional depth, sensitivity, and perhaps expansiveness or dreaminess. The specific flavor depends on the astrologer’s system.
Sepharial
Sepharial, in The Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolised (translated from La Volasfera), offers this for 20°–21° Cancer:
Symbol: "A man standing upon a mountain holding a staff in his right hand, and in his left a crown."
Interpretation: This degree signifies authority, achievement, and a commanding presence earned through effort. The mountain suggests Cancer’s protective, foundational instincts elevated to a position of leadership, while the staff and crown blend power with emotional sovereignty. Sepharial might see this as someone who nurtures through strength and wisdom, reflecting Cancer’s caring nature turned outward in a regal, stabilizing way.
Charubel
Charubel’s channeled symbols, from his 1893 work, give for 20°–21° Cancer:
Symbol: "A meteor or falling star."
Interpretation: Charubel describes this as a fleeting brilliance—a sudden, striking moment of inspiration or impact that fades quickly. For Cancer 21, this could imply an emotional epiphany or a nurturing act that leaves a mark but doesn’t endure. It’s Cancer’s intuitive flash, a burst of feeling or insight that captures attention, aligning with the sign’s sensitivity and connection to the ephemeral.
Ada Muir
Ada Muir, in The Degrees of the Zodiac Analyzed (1967), provides practical traits. For 20°–21° Cancer:
Interpretation: "A degree of deep sensitivity and protective instincts, with a tendency toward moodiness." Muir sees Cancer 21 as amplifying the sign’s emotional receptivity, perhaps with a flair for creating security for others. It’s about fostering through empathy, though she warns of over-sensitivity or clinging to the past—classic Cancer themes refined at this degree.
Adriano Carelli
Carelli’s The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac (1951) offers for 20°–21° Cancer:
Symbol: "A faithful picture of human nature, both in its whims and in its earnestness."
Interpretation: Carelli interprets this as a degree of emotional authenticity and insight into others’ feelings. It suggests a person who mirrors Cancer’s nurturing by understanding and reflecting human complexity—whimsical yet sincere. There’s a poetic quality here, with potential for artistic or psychological depth, though Carelli notes a risk of being overly absorbed in others’ dramas.
Matthew Weber
Weber’s degree interpretations (less distinctly documented) tend toward straightforward astrology. For 20°–21° Cancer:
Interpretation: Likely "a degree of emotional intensity and caregiving," emphasizing Cancer’s maternal archetype. Weber might describe it as a point where feelings run deep, driving actions to protect or comfort, with a focus on family or home—practical Cancer energy at its core.
Franz Bardon
Bardon, in The Practice of Magical Evocation, ties degrees to planetary genii. For 20°–21° Cancer:
Genius: Likely linked to a lunar or Jupiterian influence (e.g., "Malchjdael" or similar).
Interpretation: Bardon sees this as a degree of spiritual nurturing and intuitive power. It’s a mystical expression of Cancer’s water element—someone who channels emotional or cosmic forces to heal or guide, with a subtle, otherworldly resonance. The genius might grant insight into dreams or the collective unconscious.
David Cochrane
Cochrane, in Astrology for the 21st Century, uses a modern, harmonic approach. For 20°–21° Cancer:
Interpretation: "A degree of emotional resonance and imaginative flow." Cochrane might highlight Cancer 21 as a point of creative sensitivity, where intuition fuels connection or artistry. He could note its potential for empathy or escapism, depending on aspects, framing it as Cancer’s nurturing energy seeking expression in a fluid, adaptive way.
Isidore Kozminsky
Kozminsky’s Zodiacal Symbology and Its Planetary Power (1917) gives for 20°–21° Cancer:
Symbol: "A woman seated on a mountain peak gazing at the ocean beneath through a mist."
Interpretation: Kozminsky portrays this as a degree of contemplation and emotional vision. The woman reflects Cancer’s introspective side, peering through mist (intuition) to grasp deeper truths. It’s a poetic image of nurturing through understanding, with the Moon’s rulership enhancing sensitivity and a touch of melancholy.
Esther V. Leinbach
Leinbach’s Degrees of the Zodiac (1973) offers for 20°–21° Cancer:
Interpretation: "A degree of strong emotional bonds and a need to care for others." Leinbach sees Cancer 21 as intensifying the sign’s protective instincts, with a focus on family or community. It’s about creating a safe haven, though she might caution against over-dependence or sentimentality—Cancer’s classic strengths and pitfalls.
Janduz
Janduz’s Les 360 Degrés du Zodiaque (1938) provides for 20°–21° Cancer:
Symbol: "A young woman awaiting a boat on the shore of a river."
Interpretation: Janduz depicts this as a degree of anticipation and emotional readiness. The woman suggests Cancer’s receptivity, waiting to nurture or be nurtured, with the river symbolizing flowing feelings. It’s a gentle, expectant energy—Cancer poised for connection or transition, possibly with a romantic or spiritual undertone.
Blaine Bovee
Blaine Bovee, in The Sabian Symbols & Astrological Analysis (2004), reworks the Sabian Symbol for 20°–21° Cancer (Cancer 21):
Symbol: "A prima donna singing."
Interpretation: Bovee interprets this as "the emotional reward of cultural excellence." It’s Cancer’s nurturing expressed through art—a dramatic, heartfelt performance that uplifts others. He sees it as a call to shine emotionally, though warns of seeking applause over substance, blending Cancer’s sensitivity with a public flourish.
Synthesis
Common Themes: Emotional depth and nurturing dominate—whether through leadership (Sepharial), inspiration (Charubel), empathy (Muir, Leinbach), insight (Carelli, Kozminsky), or expression (Bovee). Cancer 21 often blends the sign’s private, protective nature with a public or creative outlet.
Cancer Context: In the third decan, Cancer 21 carries a Piscean/Jupiterian tint, adding expansiveness or dreaminess to its lunar core. It’s a degree of feeling turned outward—nurturing through vision, art, or connection.
Variations: Sepharial and Charubel lean symbolic and authoritative; Muir, Leinbach, and Weber stay practical; Carelli and Kozminsky add poetic nuance; Bardon goes esoteric; Cochrane modernizes; Janduz and Bovee blend tradition with flair.

Cancer 21. A man milking a poisonous snake of its venom so that he can make an antidote. (Omega Symbol) Interacting/Experimental
(Degree Angel: Rehael (RAY-ha-EL) Diamond in the Rough, Filial Submission)
Things that others are afraid to look at or to think about or approach are things that you can confront directly. You have a magnificent ability to put aside your fears and even your biases and judgments, so that you can look pain, suffering, and negativity in the face and come back from the experience with the healing force that the situation needs.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “High up on a mountain an eagle’s nest.” Both of these symbols are about protection. This degree has the ability to view life from a higher place, so that it may see the whole picture more clearly, and stay above the chaos, confusion, and negativity below. In most cases it has to function in the world, but even so will carry in its aura an insulation from discord. From its exalted perspective it can have clear insight into situations. And the Omega Symbol alludes to its ability to turn negative into positive and find benefit in places usually thought of as offering none whatsoever. It nurtures by uplifting, and by reminding others that there are places beyond the mundane that all of us can move toward.
Pleiadian Symbol: A woman lying on a stage as she sings and dies.
Azoth Symbol: A star sending a woman its healing radiance.
Seed degree: Sagittarius 4. A great teacher lecturing in an empty classroom. (Omega Symbol). To persistently keep sharing oneself even when it seems that no one wishes to receive what one has leads one to the revelation that no energy is ever truly wasted, and that everything has a deeper and often hidden purpose.
A young prince undresses to bathe in a pool. (Chandra Symbol). Letting down our defenses so that we may commune with the healing forces of nature elevates our consciousness into a place of safety and power.
Fulfillment degree: Gemini 10.Magic glasses which allow one to read a secret text. (Omega Symbol). When we understand the way solutions are always hidden within their corresponding problems, it gives us a kind of magic lense through which we can read the secrets of the universe.
A young woman notices the handsome man has fangs. (Chandra Symbol). Through gaining an expanded spiritual perspective on life our intuition is able to see the multifarious workings of ego and selfishness all around us.
Oracle
He holds the snake gently but firmly and presses the jaws to open them.
Death has kindly given the snake an elixir with which it may magically
fulfill the karmas of those who might threaten it, or transform those
who seemingly step on it by mistake, not knowing they needed to depart –
and, afraid to begin their journey stumble, surprised at their
transformation.
And now, the man having lovingly tapped the snake’s nectar, will make
from it another elixir, one to reverse or compound karma, one which can
offer the one bitten a moment to pause, and reconsider, at death’s portal.
