A MAN IS GAINING SECRET KNOWLEDGE FROM AN ANCIENT SCROLL HE IS READING


Commentary: ‘A Man is Gaining Secret Knowledge From an
Ancient Scroll He is Reading’. He’s learning insights and things that
will most likely further him in life and his quest for knowledge.
The ‘Ancient Scroll’ obviously contains some very important
information. In order to really gain this ‘Secret Knowledge’, he
needs to pay attention to every detail and not overlook anything.
The clues he is gathering may help him lead a fuller, more spiritual
life, or they may assist him in his hobby or profession.


Oracle: This ‘Ancient Scroll’ that the ‘Man is Gaining Secret
Knowledge’ from can literally refer to written material, but it
can also mean unwritten things, the myths and stories that are
the base elements of our humanity. It is, however, the ability to
translate this ‘Knowledge’ into a practical set of lessons for our
day-to-day life that assists our progress as we grow and mature.
Stories from the past and from mythology are the verbalization
of our inner archetypes. An Oracle is something that reveals
‘SECRET knowledge’; our own inner wisdom can be revealed by
the inspiration of an Oracle. The most seemingly insignificant
information can often turn out to be valuable for future
understanding or for our experiences. There may be the feeling
of not knowing what to do, or of not knowing what is going on.
To gain a sense of clarity in your situation, go back to the basic
or essential truths of the matter. This may indeed be the inner
wisdom of the ages. Modern solutions may not be of use at this
time. Understanding will come through patient, steady work and
illuminating inspiration.

Core idea
The central message is about the pursuit of profound insights from the past, which can be interpreted both literally (reading historical documents) and metaphorically (drawing lessons from timeless myths, stories, and one's own inner wisdom). The knowledge gained can offer practical guidance for modern life, personal growth, and spiritual development.
Commentary and Oracle
The pursuit of knowledge: The "ancient scroll" represents a source of deep, important information that promises to further a person's life and intellectual quest. Accessing this knowledge requires careful attention to detail.
Applying old wisdom: The text stresses that this knowledge is not just historical fact but a tool for personal progress. The ability to translate these ancient lessons into a practical guide for daily life is key.
Inner and outer wisdom: An "oracle" can reveal this secret knowledge. It can come from external written material or from internal sources, representing our inner archetypes and wisdom. Even seemingly insignificant information can become valuable later.
Finding clarity: When confused or unsure, the text suggests returning to fundamental truths. Modern solutions may be ineffective, and genuine understanding often comes from patient work and inspiration.
Keywords and cautions
Associated ideas: The keywords link the theme to learning from ancient mysteries, spiritual discovery (like alchemy, the Akashic records), and studying historical or religious texts (like the Bible, Torah, and Quran).
Potential pitfalls: The text also provides a "caution" against the negative aspects of this pursuit. This includes rejecting new knowledge, losing touch with reality by over-valuing arcane information, falling for conspiracy theories, and becoming single-minded or religiously zealous. The message advises against feeling superior due to "secret" knowledge or losing interest in the ordinary world

Charubel’s 29° Pisces (Using Your Provided Symbol)
Symbol: "An old-fashioned clock."

Interpretation: This image evokes precision, regularity, and a connection to the past. At 29° Pisces — the final degree of the zodiac, typically associated with dissolution, spirituality, and transition — this symbol seems paradoxical. It suggests a collective or event clinging to structure and routine amid Pisces’ fluid, boundaryless nature. The "mechanical mind" implies a reliance on established systems, exactness, and discipline, with no room for innovation or spontaneity.

Mundane Lens:
For a Nation: This could represent a society or government stuck in outdated traditions or rigid protocols at a time when adaptability is needed. It might depict a nation winding down a cycle, adhering strictly to old rules (e.g., a monarchy or bureaucracy) as it faces an inevitable shift into a new era (Aries). The lack of inventive power suggests stagnation or resistance to change, possibly leading to its unraveling.

For an Event: In an event chart, 29° Pisces with this symbol might indicate a moment defined by strict adherence to protocol or timing — perhaps a ceremonial end, a scheduled dissolution (e.g., the final tick of a treaty expiring), or a collective effort to maintain order amid chaos. It’s less about creativity and more about preserving what’s known, even as the zodiac cycle closes.

Key Themes:
Order Amid Chaos: A last-ditch effort to impose structure in a Piscean realm of flux.

End of a Cycle: The clock’s ticking reflects the final moments of a phase, mechanical and predictable.

Rigidity vs. Flow: A tension between Virgo-like precision and Pisces’ natural dissolution, suggesting a collective or event out of sync with its cosmic timing.

Reconciling with 29° Pisces’ Nature
Piscean Context: Pisces is typically intuitive, dreamy, and transcendent, so an "old-fashioned clock" at 29° feels like an anomaly. It might imply a collective or event trying to resist Pisces’ inevitable surrender by clinging to time-bound, mechanical habits — a futile stand against the tide of endings. Alternatively, it could symbolize the crystallization of Piscean sensitivity into a rigid form as the zodiac wraps up.

Mundane Example: Imagine a nation at the end of an era (e.g., an empire’s decline) enforcing outdated laws or schedules with meticulous detail, unable to innovate or adapt as it fades. Or an event like a meticulously planned ritual marking a society’s dissolution, where every second is accounted for, yet the spirit of change looms.

Comparison to Other Interpretations
This "clock" symbol contrasts sharply with Charubel’s standard 29° Pisces ("horse and rider falling"), which is about risk and collapse, and even with other astrologers’ takes (e.g., Rudhyar’s visionary boy or Sandbach’s healing book). Your version suggests stability and discipline rather than chaos or transcendence, making it a unique lens on Pisces’ final degree — perhaps a shadow expression of Pisces’ tendency to escape into fantasy, here replaced by escaping into routine.
Answer
For 29° Pisces with "An old-fashioned clock" (per your source), in a mundane context:
It signifies a collective or event defined by exactness, discipline, and adherence to systems, lacking innovation. It’s a mechanical, rule-bound entity at the zodiac’s end, possibly resisting the natural Piscean flow of dissolution with rigid habits. Think of a society or moment ticking methodically toward its close, bound by the past rather than embracing the new.

Does this align with what you’re looking for, or do you want me to adjust further based on your source?



============================


For 29° Pisces, Charubel’s symbol, as noted in my earlier response, is: "A horse and its rider falling while jumping a fence." This carries a very different meaning — one of risk, overreach, and potential collapse, rather than the mechanical precision and discipline of the Virgo degree you’ve quoted.
Clarifying Charubel’s 29° Pisces
Symbol: "A horse and its rider falling while jumping a fence."

Interpretation: Charubel sees this as a cautionary image. In a mundane lens (for nations, events, or collectives), it suggests a situation where ambition or a bold leap exceeds capability, leading to a fall. It’s about misjudgment or pushing beyond limits, resulting in a dramatic end or lesson. There’s no sense of routine or discipline here — instead, it’s dynamic, risky, and unstable.

Mundane Example: A nation overextending its resources in a war or economic gamble, only to crash, or an event like a failed policy launch that collapses under its own weight.

Contrast with 29° Virgo (Your Quote)
Symbol: "An old-fashioned clock."

Interpretation: This Virgo degree describes a rigid, methodical nature — someone or something (in a mundane sense, perhaps a government or system) that thrives on order, precision, and adherence to established rules, but lacks creativity or adaptability. It’s steady and predictable, unlike the chaotic fall of 29° Pisces.

Mundane Example: A bureaucracy that enforces tradition to a fault, stifling innovation.

Why the Difference?
Pisces vs. Virgo: Pisces, at the zodiac’s end, is fluid, dreamy, and boundary-dissolving, so its final degree (29°) reflects a culmination of risk or surrender. Virgo, an earth sign, is practical and detail-oriented, so its 29° emphasizes structure and routine. Charubel’s symbols align with these sign qualities.

Degree Misalignment: Your quote matches Charubel’s Virgo entry, not Pisces, suggesting a possible typo or confusion in your source.

Revised Answer for 29° Pisces (Charubel)
In a mundane context, Charubel’s 29° Pisces — the horse and rider falling — points to a collective or event reaching a tipping point. It’s not about discipline or systems (as with 29° Virgo’s clock), but about a bold, perhaps reckless, endeavor failing spectacularly, marking the end of a cycle with a lesson in humility or consequence.
If you meant to ask about 29° Virgo instead, let me know, and I can expand on that! Otherwise, does this resolve the discrepancy for you?

no i've checked and its 29 pisces so go with it - * 29? A old-fashioned clock. Denotes a person of 29° )(
very exact habits, very particular in matters of detail, will
follow rules to the letter, a good disciplinarian, has no inven
tive power~, ne\·er brings out anythiug new, but give him a
system and he will follow it-a truly mechanical mind.

I appreciate your clarification! If you’ve confirmed that your source attributes the symbol "An old-fashioned clock" with the interpretation "Denotes a person of very exact habits, very particular in matters of detail, will follow rules to the letter, a good disciplinarian, has no inventive power, never brings out anything new, but give him a system and he will follow it — a truly mechanical mind" to 29° Pisces (28°00' to 28°59' Pisces), then I’ll work with that as the premise, even though it diverges from the widely recognized Charubel symbol for 29° Pisces ("A horse and its rider falling while jumping a fence"). It’s possible your source uses a variant edition or a different interpretation tied to Charubel’s work. Let’s proceed with this symbol and apply it in a mundane astrology context, as you’ve requested.

Story of Pinnochio (from 16th century) - Moon (film premiere) conj Pluto (1st serial published)


TWO COBBLERS WORKING SIDE BY SIDE AT A TABLE

This is another favourite of mine – it shows cooperation and love, sharing and caring.

Without wanting to get all religious or airy fairy, I feel to mention that one of my favourite people, the fabulous Walter Russell – who has been compared to Leonardo Da Vinci for his brilliance – was born with this degree as his Sun (and, possibly, his Moon – he was born on the new Moon on this degree)... he wrote in his book The Secret Of Light (published in 1947)…

God is light. God is Universal Mind. Mind is Light. Mind knows…

When man and God thus work together they commune one with the other as
One Person. The language of their communion is the language of Light which man calls “inspiration.”

When man works alone, his works are as the winds which blow. When man works with God as co-creator, his works are forever enduring.

Every great genius manifests this law: that he is One with the God- Mind, that God in him is the source of every thought and that he is inspired by that omniscience and omnipotence within him which make his work enduring.

Russell left school at the age of nine and was a genius – a master – at everything he did. An amazing human being. With Venus on his Sun, I feel to celebrate him and to show what he thought about creating. He said that he always always worked with God sitting by his side at his work bench… God is light. God is Universal Mind. Mind is Light. Mind knows…

‘Cobblers’ are those who work to fix up issues to do with the ‘sole’ – the ‘soul’ – the feet represent issues of ‘understanding’… repairs to understanding… (thanks to Dane Rudhyar for that inspiration).

I mention the above especially for those of us who work ‘alone’… we seemingly plug along without help, without others being there… the following is my shortened interpretation from the Solar Fire files…

This Symbol shows people working together, getting along in a partnership and making something of their lives through cooperation. To get the result you want you will probably need to work cooperatively with someone of equal skill and similar interest. Finding a partner with similar skills can give life a lift and lessen your own work load. Two or more people can bring not only their special talents but also their individual tools and perspectives. By sharing the task without ego or competition the outcome is not only better, but more harmonious and satisfying. Iran v Israel 13/6/25

People sharing quietly and persistently in their labor. Partnerships and sharing. Repairs to the soul. Reflexology. Work benches. Demarcations of work. The marriage of minds.

The Caution: Wanting to complete a task with shared responsibilities yet gain all the credit. Committing oneself to tasks that don’t bring personal satisfaction. Codependence.

========================================================================



This astrological degree, described through its Omega and Chandra symbols, speaks to a profound sensitivity to the aliveness of all things and the transformative power of creative engagement with the world. The Omega Symbol, “A man reaches out to touch a marble statue. He feels it smiling,” suggests a deep intuitive connection to the essence of matter. The man perceives the statue not as inert but as vibrant and responsive, capable of conveying joy or emotion. This reflects the degree’s theme of Transforming/Responsible, where one’s loving, conscious interaction with the world—whether with people, objects, or nature—awakens positivity and fosters healing. By being attuned to the subtle “aliveness” of everything, the individual takes responsibility for nurturing and uplifting their surroundings through unconditional care.
The Chandra Symbol, “A man amuses himself by drawing strange shapes,” complements this by emphasizing playful, imaginative exploration. The act of creating unusual forms sparks the imagination, revealing new possibilities within the familiar. It suggests that creativity is a way to engage with the ever-changing nature of reality, where what we create takes on a life of its own and returns to us as karma—positive or negative, depending on our intent. Together, these symbols highlight a dynamic interplay between sensitivity to the world’s inherent vitality and the creative freedom to reshape it, fostering richness and joy.
The additional symbols deepen this interpretation. The Pleiadian Symbol, “With tiny files and chisels a man is sculpting clouds of mist from white alabaster,” evokes delicate, almost impossible artistry, suggesting that even the most ephemeral or intangible aspects of life can be shaped with care and intention. The Azoth Symbol, “A road comes to an end, but a woman and her dog find their way beyond it,” implies trust in navigating beyond limitations, finding new paths through intuition and companionship.
The Seed and Fulfillment degrees provide context for the process. The Seed degree (Pisces 8), “Through a microscope, a scientist observes a deadly virus,” indicates an awareness of negativity or harm within matter, prompting the desire to heal it through love. The alternate Seed degree, “A gypsy peasant woman sings a mournful chant,” suggests releasing past sorrows to embrace present creativity.

The Fulfillment degrees (Aquarius 5) reveal outcomes: “Gradually, the wind unearths a temple buried in the sand” points to uncovering spiritual depths through creative work, while “Humans worshiping an obese nature Goddess” celebrates the abundant, generative power of nature, inspiring communal reverence.
The Oracle’s poetic imagery reinforces this: the man absorbs the statue’s imperceptible smiles through touch, learning to embody its subtle expressions. This illustrates a mystical exchange where interaction with matter transforms both the perceiver and the perceived, enabling the individual to carry forward its quiet, joyful essence.
In essence, this degree invites you to approach the world with sensitivity, recognizing its aliveness, and to engage creatively with it, knowing that your actions—rooted in care and imagination—can heal, transform, and reveal hidden depths, fostering a cycle of positivity and abundance.


====================================================================================




To explore the connections and differences between the Omega Symbol “A man reaches out to touch a marble statue. He feels it smiling” (Transforming/Responsible) and the symbol “Two cobblers working side by side at a table”, let’s analyze their themes, energies, and implications, drawing on the provided context and the insights about Walter Russell, while keeping the interpretation fresh and focused.
Connections
Co-Creation and Connection:
Marble Statue Symbol: This degree emphasizes a profound connection with the essence of matter, where the man’s touch perceives the statue’s “smile,” suggesting an intuitive, almost spiritual communion with the world. It reflects a co-creative relationship with the universe, where loving interaction transforms both the individual and their environment.

Two Cobblers Symbol: Similarly, this symbol highlights cooperation and partnership, with two individuals sharing skills and labor harmoniously. The cobblers’ collaborative work mirrors the statue symbol’s theme of co-creation, as both involve engaging with another entity—whether a statue or a partner—to produce something meaningful. Walter Russell’s philosophy of working with “God as co-creator” aligns with both, emphasizing a divine or universal partnership in creative acts.

Healing and Transformation:
Marble Statue: The act of touching the statue and feeling its aliveness suggests healing through unconditional positive rapport. The degree’s seed (Pisces 8) points to recognizing negativity in matter and healing it with love, aligning with the idea of transforming the “soul” or essence of things.

Two Cobblers: The cobblers repair shoes, symbolizing “repairs to the soul” or understanding, as shoes relate to the feet and grounding. This healing process through cooperative work parallels the statue symbol’s transformative touch, where both acts restore or elevate something through care and attention.

Creative Expression:
Marble Statue: The Chandra Symbol (“A man amuses himself by drawing strange shapes”) underscores creative experimentation, where imagination breathes life into new forms. This creativity is inspired by a deep connection to the aliveness of the world.

Two Cobblers: The cobblers’ shared labor is also creative, producing tangible results (repaired shoes) through mutual effort. Walter Russell’s emphasis on inspired creation with the “God-Mind” resonates here, as both symbols suggest that true creativity arises from a harmonious, inspired partnership—whether with matter, a person, or the divine.

Spiritual Undertones:
Both symbols carry a spiritual dimension. The statue symbol’s Oracle speaks of subtle, mystical exchanges (e.g., the statue’s imperceptible smiles), while Russell’s philosophy in the cobblers’ symbol frames creation as a communion with Universal Mind. Both suggest that meaningful work—whether solitary or collaborative—taps into a greater, universal intelligence or light.

Differences
Solitary vs. Collaborative Focus:
Marble Statue: This symbol centers on an individual’s interaction with the inanimate, emphasizing a solitary, intuitive connection to the world’s aliveness. The man’s experience is internal and mystical, relying on his sensitivity to perceive the statue’s response.

Two Cobblers: In contrast, this symbol explicitly involves two people working together, highlighting interpersonal cooperation and shared goals. While the statue symbol is about connecting with the non-human world, the cobblers focus on human partnership and mutual effort.

Nature of the Work:
Marble Statue: The interaction is subtle, almost ethereal, involving perception and emotional exchange rather than physical labor. The transformation occurs through feeling and imagination, as seen in the Chandra Symbol’s playful shape-drawing.

Two Cobblers: The work is practical and tangible, involving physical tools and skills to repair shoes. It emphasizes craftsmanship and shared labor, with a focus on producing a concrete outcome, unlike the statue’s more abstract, spiritual transformation.

Scope of Transformation:
Marble Statue: The transformation is universal, extending to all matter, animate or inanimate. It suggests a broader, almost cosmic responsibility to awaken joy and positivity in everything one touches.

Two Cobblers: The transformation is more localized, focused on the partnership and the specific task of repairing shoes (or souls). While it has spiritual implications, it’s grounded in the immediate, collaborative effort between two individuals.

Emotional Tone:
Marble Statue: The tone is mystical and introspective, with a sense of wonder at the aliveness of the world. The man’s experience is quiet and personal, evoking awe and sensitivity.

Two Cobblers: The tone is warm, communal, and grounded, emphasizing camaraderie and shared purpose. It feels more relational and practical, with an undertone of mutual support and satisfaction.

Synthesis with Walter Russell’s Philosophy
Walter Russell’s ideas, as quoted, beautifully bridge these symbols. His view of working with “God as co-creator” resonates with the statue symbol’s theme of connecting with the universal aliveness (God as Light, Universal Mind) and the cobblers’ collaborative spirit, where two minds work as one, akin to Russell’s communion with divine inspiration. His emphasis on enduring, inspired work aligns with both symbols’ focus on transformative creation—whether through touching the statue to awaken its joy or through the cobblers’ cooperative repair of “souls.” Russell’s Venus on this degree likely amplified his ability to infuse love and harmony into his creations, mirroring the statue’s unconditional rapport and the cobblers’ caring partnership.
Practical Implications
Marble Statue: Encourages you to approach your environment with sensitivity, recognizing the life in everything and using your creative touch to heal and uplift. It’s about trusting your intuition to connect with the world’s deeper essence, even when working alone.

Two Cobblers: Invites you to seek partnerships where skills and goals align, sharing the workload to create something meaningful. It reminds you that collaboration can lighten burdens and produce harmonious, satisfying results, especially when driven by mutual respect.

Cautions
Marble Statue: The risk lies in becoming overly absorbed in the mystical or imaginative, potentially losing grounding in practical reality. One must balance sensitivity with action.

Two Cobblers: The caution is about EGO or CODEPENDENCE disrupting the partnership, such as seeking credit for shared work or engaging in tasks that don’t fulfill you personally.

Conclusion
Both symbols celebrate creation, connection, and transformation, but they differ in focus: the statue emphasizes a solitary, mystical communion with the world’s aliveness, while the cobblers highlight practical, interpersonal collaboration. Together, they suggest that whether working alone or with others, aligning with a higher purpose (as Russell’s Universal Mind suggests) and approaching tasks with love and care leads to enduring, transformative outcomes. The statue’s introspective sensitivity complements the cobblers’ cooperative craftsmanship, offering a holistic view of how to engage with the world creatively and responsibly.

This symbol signifies the creative friction that arises when energies, whether material or psychic, come into close proximity, leading to a release of higher energy. It highlights the importance of respecting DIFFERENT ways of being and doing, and finding value in diverse perspectives.


NEGATIVE - SEPHARIEL

A powerful man, holding a scourge
in his right hand, and driving two
slaves in manacles

It signifies a tyrant, who takes delight in power
apart from its uses, and whose opinions are
bigoted and selfish. To rule, without regard to
qualifications, is the passing ambition of one born
under this degree. Death, which frees the slave,
will bind the hands of a tyrant in irons forged
from his own heart. It is a degree of
DESPOTISM







Connections
Interaction with Others:
All three symbols involve interaction, but their nature differs drastically. The Marble Statue involves a solitary, empathetic connection with an inanimate object, perceiving its aliveness. The Two Cobblers depicts a cooperative, equal partnership between humans. The Powerful Man also involves human interaction but is hierarchical and oppressive, with the tyrant dominating others. Each symbol explores how one engages with their environment or others, whether through love, collaboration, or control.

Karmic Consequences:
Each symbol implies a karmic outcome based on actions. The Marble Statue suggests that loving, creative engagement with the world yields joy and positivity, as seen in the Chandra Symbol’s creative experimentation returning as “unending richness.” The Two Cobblers indicates that harmonious collaboration produces satisfying, enduring results, avoiding ego-driven conflicts. The Powerful Man explicitly warns of negative karma: the tyrant’s cruel rule leads to their own entrapment, with “irons forged from his own heart.” All three underscore that actions—whether positive or negative—shape one’s destiny.

Power and Responsibility:
The Marble Statue and Two Cobblers frame power as a responsible, transformative force—through loving connection or shared effort. The Powerful Man also deals with power but portrays its misuse, where the tyrant’s desire to dominate overrides any sense of responsibility or care. The contrast highlights the choice between wielding power for healing and unity versus selfishness and oppression.

Spiritual Undertones:
The Marble Statue and Two Cobblers align with Walter Russell’s philosophy of co-creation with the “God-Mind,” where inspired, loving work endures. The Powerful Man lacks this spiritual alignment, as the tyrant’s actions are driven by ego and selfishness, disconnected from universal harmony. However, the mention of death freeing the slave and binding the tyrant suggests a spiritual reckoning, echoing the universal law of cause and effect present in the other symbols.
