Sepharial
“A boy and girl standing with arms entwined.”
It is the index of a mind that is given to duplicity, or at least to dissimulation and diplomacy. There is considerable finesse, and also an extraordinary degree of adaptability in the nature, which will enable it to gain some distinction and even a position of honor. The native may become an ambassador or consul, or otherwise serve as a connecting link between two peoples or nations. In a lower degree, the native will follow more than one occupation at the same time and will in general show considerable versatility. It is a degree of ALTERNATION.

Kozminsky
“A man, armed, rising out of the earth.”
Denotes one to whom power is given, especially connected with earthly science and knowledge. His passage through life will not be pleasured by calm and perfect peace. Rough seas and angry rocks will threaten him. As he grows older in years and experience he will know that combative science and theory but lead to unrest and fear. When this time comes he will truly arise out of the earth. It is a symbol of Disputing.
