25th degree of Aquarius
Sabian symbol
“A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed.”
The capacity to develop the rational and fully conscious aspect of the mind ahead of normal evolution.
Sepharial
“A dark face wearing an expression of fierce anger, and across the forehead a red band of blood.”
This symbol indicates one whose nature is vindictive and passionate almost beyond power of control. There will be some danger of frenzy or even acute mania, such as will warrant his enforced detention is thoughts are those of the Ishmaelite and avenger of herednary wrongs, and he is as one who sees blood in the air and runs amok. It shows a dangerous predisposition and unless controlled by the power of moral persuasion, intellectual training and social culture, will assuredly lead to trouble and disgrace. It is a degree of MALICE.

Charubel
“An old-fashioned wooden pump; a man in rustic garb at the handle, pumping for a crowd with vessels reaching forward for them to be filled.”

Kozminsky
“A victor in a duel with a look of agony breaking his sword over his knee.”
Denotes one born to conquer, but whose material conquests bring him pain and grief. As he advances in life and the sun of his soul throws brighter lights before him, he will realize how worthless aggression really is and how much grander is a word spoken in kindness than one spoken in anger, how much sweeter a kind face than one made hideous by the poison of hate. Then he will break his sword. It is a symbol of Reaction.
