Sepharial
“A dove lies upon the ground, while over it a snake is poised in an attitude of attack.”
It indicates on the one hand a nature capable of extreme self-indulgence and license; and, on the other, one who is apt to succumb to worldly seductions. The influence of this degree acts most powerfully to destroy domestic happiness and to fracture marital relations; and the fate of the native will hang upon the nature and influence of a subtle fascination or a secret attachment. It is a degree of SELF-ABANDON.

“A man pulling at a rope attached to a bell which is suspended near the top of a high tree.”
A person who will take a delight in publishing what he knows about everybody. As the conductor of a newspaper he may be in his sphere; but it will be with difficulty that he will preserve himself from the crime of defamation of character.

“A newspaper editor at his desk—a mass of proofs before him—parleying with a man who”
averts his face. Denotes one whose position in life will enable him to hold many secrets connected with the lives of others and who wields a power which will cause fear to many of position and reputation. A desire for material advantages may cause him to sway in the pursuit of his duty. It is a symbol of Muzzling.
