26th degree of Aquarius
Sabian symbol
“A garage man testing a car’s battery with a hydrometer.”
Skill in applying knowledge of natural laws to the solution of everyday problems resulting from life in our technological society.
Sepharial
“A man walking blindfold towards the opening of a deep pit.”
This indicates one whose thoughts and projects are liable to become chaotic and confused, so that he may be said to be walking in the dark, and to that extent may be led into grave dangers. It may be from ignorance or from want of alertness and responsiveness to his surroundings that he will come by hurt to himself, but save by the helping and directing hand of some wise friend, or the overarching love of Heaven, he cannot escape downfall and ruin. The higher tame position he may occupy, the greater the danger of falling. Let him therefore study to walk warily and in humility in the simple ways of life and not aspire to tread paths which are unfamiliar and full of pitfalls for the unwary. It is a degree of BLINDING.
