17th Pisces
Apr. 20th, 2025 12:00 pmGetting on his hands and knees, a man uses a piece of white chalk to draw a circle around himself. (Omega Symbol) Manifesting/Sensitive
(Degree Angel: Harahel (HA-ra-HEL) Umbilical Cord, Intellectual Richness)
This degree has an intuitive sense of how to protect itself and how to filter out influences that might be disturbing or disruptive to it. It is always able to find a space in which to work, and has a special gift for clearing the atmosphere so that room is made to do whatever needs to be accomplished. And if it follows its impulses, the result will always be magic working through it. Greg, Jesse..like quiet and to be alone
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A kangaroo and her baby who looks out from the mother's pouch.” When a baby kangaroo is born it immediately crawls into the pouch, which is like a second womb, and which contains a nipple that it immediately affixes itself to. And so for kangaroos birth is a slow, gradual process that happens in states. It is the opposite of a creature like the horse, who falls out of the womb and within minutes is standing up. The image signifies that this degree at its highest experiences the universe as a great mother who eternally offers safety and protection. It may feel isolated and different from others, but with usually no sense of alienation. It knows that we are all children who are being raised and taken care of by a reality that is utterly intent on our reaching enlightenment.
Di Crash - Poseidon/Vesta
Pleiadian Symbol: People dressed in a vivid array of colors come together to celebrate spring.
Azoth Symbol: Someone helping a distraught woman to open to angelic love.
Seed degree: Libra 24.Gemstones buried in the ground in the pattern of the constellation Orion. (Omega Symbol). The deep inner wisdom that has been with us through all our incarnations will, if allowed to, show us how to take action to protect and support ourselves in this life.
A chameleon with moving pictures appearing on its back. (Chandra Symbol). Being willing to relate to life in all possible ways and allowing ourselves to completely interact with everything and everyone we encounter, we grow into the ability to see the world as our mother, and ourselves as the mother of our world
Fulfillment degree: Aquarius 29. An old poetess eating green melon in a shady garden. (Omega Symbol). Inscribing ourselves in a circle of protection we are then free to be our true self, live our deepest wisdom, and partake of the beauty of nature.
The sound of dripping water echoes through a great stone room. (Chandra Symbol). Experiencing intimate union with the divine mother we spontaneously become acutely sensitized to the depths of all emotions – both our own and others.

Omega Symbol: “Getting on his hands and knees, a man uses a piece of white chalk to draw a circle around himself.”
Manifesting/Sensitive Quality: Sandbach assigns this degree a “sensitive” tone, indicating intuitive, receptive energy within Aquarius’ innovative framework. “Manifesting” suggests the ability to bring intentions into reality through deliberate action.
Interpretation:
Literal Image: A man humbly (on hands and knees) draws a protective chalk circle, symbolizing self-defined boundaries, sacred space, or magical intent. The white chalk evokes purity and clarity, aligning with Aquarius’ intellectual vision.
Spiritual Meaning: This reflects an intuitive knack for self-protection and creating sacred space. The man filters out disruptive influences, clearing the environment for focused work. Sandbach emphasizes magic working through action, suggesting 10° Aquarius channels higher truths (Poseidon-like) when impulses are followed.
Psychological Angle: It signifies self-awareness and autonomy, choosing what to let in or out. The humility (hands and knees) counters Aquarius’ aloofness, grounding lofty ideals in practical boundaries.
Mundane Context: In world news, this could manifest as a nation or group establishing clear boundaries—e.g., “Country Sets Strict Cyber Laws” or “Global Summit Creates Safe Media Space.” With Neptune at 1° Aries (idealism, confusion), it might be “World Protects Digital Privacy, Hype Clouds,” risking illusory security (Jones’ disillusionment).

SUMMARY OF ALL 3
The three elements—Pisces 17: An Easter Promenade, the Omega Symbol (a man drawing a chalk circle around himself, Manifesting/Sensitive), and Greg and Jesse's preference for quiet and solitude—share a common theme of balancing individual inner experience with external communal or social expression, often involving the creation of a personal or symbolic space to navigate this dynamic. Here's how they connect:
Pisces 17: An Easter Promenade: This Sabian symbol, as described, represents a communal celebration rooted in both spiritual (Christian Easter, resurrection) and seasonal (spring solstice, renewal) traditions. It emphasizes the layering of old and new traditions, where individuals come together to display joy, faith, and community values, often through outward expressions like bright clothes and parades. However, it also hints at the tension between superficial displays and deeper spiritual meaning, suggesting a need to balance personal authenticity with societal participation. The promenade is a public, structured event, yet it carries an undercurrent of personal renewal and emotional unity, requiring individuals to find their place within the collective.
Omega Symbol (Manifesting/Sensitive): The act of drawing a chalk circle around oneself symbolizes creating a protective, personal space to shield sensitive energies from external disruptions. This degree reflects an intuitive ability to filter out disturbances and clear the atmosphere for meaningful work or spiritual magic. This mirrors the Easter Promenade's challenge of maintaining personal authenticity and inner depth within a public, communal setting. The chalk circle represents a boundary that allows the individual to process their sensitivity or inspiration, much like navigating the social expectations of the promenade while staying true to one's inner experience.
Greg and Jesse's Preference for Quiet and Solitude: Their preference for quiet and solitude highlights a need for a personal, introspective space to process or protect their inner world. This aligns with the Omega Symbol's protective circle and the Easter Promenade's underlying need for authentic personal renewal amidst communal celebration. Their solitude reflects a sensitivity that requires a controlled environment to avoid being overwhelmed by external social pressures, allowing them to engage with their inner inspiration or faith before (or instead of) participating in outward displays like a promenade.
In summary, the three elements are linked by the theme of navigating the interplay between inner sensitivity or authenticity and external social or communal expression. The Easter Promenade represents the communal celebration where individuals must balance personal renewal with societal participation. The Omega Symbol emphasizes creating a protective space to nurture sensitive energies, enabling authentic manifestation. Greg and Jesse's solitude reflects the need for a private space to process inner experiences before engaging with the outer world. Each highlights the importance of carving out a personal space—whether literal, symbolic, or emotional—to maintain authenticity while engaging with or withdrawing from communal expectations.
