5th degree of Aquarius
Sabian symbol
“A council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader.”
The Root foundation of past performances which power and sustain whatever decision is made in a crisis by an individual.
Sepharial
“A woman nude, looking at her reflection in a pool of water.”
It is not necessary to say, perhaps, that this is a symbol indicative of extreme danger to the moral nature of the person ‘born under this degree. There is an element of dalliance and self-love in the nature which will be liable to lead to serious complications and entanglements. It may be that this egotism will only veil a weakness which cannot withstand the temptations of the carnal nature. The nature will be sympathetic and to a large degree reflective of the immediate environment, in which, however, there will be too strong an accent of self. It is probable that the native may show artistic tastes and a marked ability for portrait painting or sculpture. It is a degree of EGOTISM.

Kozminsky
“A nautilus shell being driven, on the sea, before the wind towards a rocky shore.”
Denotes one who reaches fame fitting his rank. He will have elegant tastes arid a love of luxury, but is liable to be imposed on or wrongly advised. He can quickly grasp impressions and set his thoughts into activity, but he should direct his will unto himself and watch the threatening rock shore with his eyes well opened. It is a symbol of Inclining.
