16th degree of Aquarius
Sabian symbol
“A big businessman at his desk.”
The ability to organize the many aspects of an enterprise involving a large group of human beings.
Sepharial
“A smith’s forge and bellows.”
This symbol is related to the one who will show considerable aspiration in things of a spiritual nature and will be instrumental in awakening in the breast of man a belief in things supernormal, by fanning the spark of intelligent faith into a flame of conviction and consuming desire. His profession will be allied to the useful arts and his walk in life, although simple and devoid of ostentation, will nevertheless be of singular service to humanity. Great in soul and of immense aspiration, he will prove a veritable Vulcan. It is a degree of INSPIRATION.

Charubel
“A vessel rolling in the trough of a rough sea.”
Denotes one who will ever live in a state of uncertainty, subject to many changes and severe trails; his career will be a struggle for existence.

Kozminsky
“A ship running before the wind with bare poles. The sea, black and angry, is illumined by”
a ray of moonlight which shines through a break in the heavy clouds. Denotes one of a trusting spiritual nature who will have trials in life threatening and bitter, and who will often be storm-driven and held in the grip of hard circumstances. Now and then there are breaks in the storms of life which bring relief, no matter how small. But he must go on; his way is difficult and the night is dark, but in the morning light will come. It is a symbol of Experience.
