24th degree of Aquarius
Sabian symbol
“A man, having overcome his passions, teaches deep wisdom in terms of his experience.”
The constructive use to which difficult past experiences can be put as examples for those who are still striving to overcome their passions.
Sepharial
“A bent stalk bearing a full ear of corn.”
This symbol is related to one of undoubted faculty and mental ability, but with too little courage and power of attack to make his merit felt in the world. Such an one will be bent and broken by the winds of adversity, and having but small physical stamina he will find it difficult to sustain the highest expressions of his mental growth in the face of much want and physical distress. Yet he will not be bent or broken by adversity till he has given expression to an extraordinary amount of learning and will be popularly appreciated. It is a degree of BENDING.

“A woman neatly attired, with her hand on a tomb, looking sorrowfully on a flower-covered”
grave. Denotes a refined person forced to meet sorrow face to face. According to the degree of experience to be learned, so will be the degree of sorrow to be endured. Passion is not apart from this degree, but passion leads to pain, whilst subjugation leads to mastery. It is a symbol of Tribute.
