Sepharial
“A man walking with bended head, leaning upon a staff.”
This symbol is related to one whose life is liable to many and severe shocks of misfortune, the severing of ties and the disappointment of hopes. Nevertheless, he will show a spirit of steadfast resignation to the will of Heaven and therein will find consolation for his grief’s and sorrows. The task which he will have to perform in life will be honorable but unprofitable, and many will be the difficulties which encumber his upward path. He is nevertheless equipped for a long and arduous journey, and being endowed with a patient and firm will, he must eventually attain his goal. Only in the interval he will have to surrender all that he holds most dear in life. It is a degree of PERSEVERANCE.

Charubel
“A warrior in bright armor with drawn sword, pursuing a savage multitude.”
One with great occult ability, and who has a mission to accomplish; a White Magician! and conquer.

Kozminsky
“A white-haired man, holding a cross before him, walking over a mosaic pavement.”
Denotes one of a truly religious mind whose career will be as full of incident as the many pieces which go to make a mosaic pavement are full of color. Material life is not without its dangers— moral and physical—but the native is not born under the heel of fear. He sees beyond his times and bears his cross. It is a symbol of Faithfulness.

Cochrane
Grasps ideas and concepts quickly. Aptitude for all sciences. Intelligent, but may lack mature, philosophical depth. Inquisitive. Much more mental than emotional. (ARI-3-AQU, GEM-5-ARI)
