Sepharial
“A little village lying in a fertile valley.”
It indicates one whose heart is full of native goodness, whose hand is set to great work in modest ways, and whose patience, thrift, and true humility will bring his work to perfection. There is very little aggression and no self-assertion in this nature; but, like the valley, it is fruitful in good things because of its lowliness, while surrounding high peaks of the mountains are barren. The native, though never famous, will be always successful, even beyond his ambitions, which are modest but steadfast. It is a degree of CONTENTMENT.

Charubel
“A spider in the corner of a room intently watching the giddy dance of silly flies, as they heedlessly approach the confines of his dominions.”
This denotes a student of law and order, a shrewd lawyer. He would make a good detective.

Kozminsky
“An acrobat performing before a large audience.”
Denotes one who comes before the public and whose risky adventures secure him favor. He sees many changes in life, and has a hard struggle at times, but his energy and resourcefulness are great, and his spirits never fail. Great wealth will not fall to the native, but his life will not end for lack of means. It is a symbol of Publicity.
