5th degree of Cancer
Sabian symbol
“At a railroad crossing, an automobile is wrecked by a train.”
The tragic results which are likely to occur when the individual’s will pits itself carelessly against the power of the collective will of society.
Sepharial
“A young tree or sapling beat about the middle and thence growing awry.”
It indicates a person of warm affections, but incautious nature; who confides, without sufficient grounds, in those around him; and is apt to misplace his trust. To those of the female sex it is a baneful degree. In general1 it shows a loving and trustful nature without much knowledge of human weaknesses. It is apt to be bent, and perhaps broken, by the storms of passion, and to lean where there is no real support. It is a degree of BETRAYAL.

Kozminsky
“A man seated on a rock on a newly boomed gold field, a new pick and shovel beside him,”
looking gloomily at a newspaper containing reports of rich finds in the locality. Denotes one who takes too much notice of reports and who ventures before he has obtained enough evidence as to the nature of his speculations. This tendency, unless checked, leads him to a land of famine instead of a land of plenty. It is a symbol of Pitfalls.
