12th degree of Cancer
Sabian symbol
“A chinese woman nursing a baby whose aura reveals him to be the reincarnation of a great teacher.”
The revelation of latent worth in an experience once it is seen in its deeper meaning.
Sepharial
“A dagger lying beside a skull.”
It denotes one of fatal tendencies, destructive to a degree; inclined to cruelty and oppression. This person will need to hold his passions in strong check or some fatality will surely come upon him. The nature is melancholy and taciturn; yet silently discerning, and capable of keen feelings. “It makes not, but it mars; and with the hollow eyes of death looks back with secret self-condemnation upon its unfruitful work.’ The end of life is tragic. It is a degree of UNDOING.

Kozminsky
“An avenue of trees bending before a destructive wind-storm, the rich golden leaves of”
autumn falling thickly. Denotes one whose thoughts will be directed to securing a competency for himself in old age, and who will labor hard to accomplish his desire. His love of quiet is disturbed and outraged, and he will be shaken by storms as a tree in the wind. Still he fights on in gloom or sunshine, passing madness on the way. It is a symbol of Bending.
