17th degree of Capricorn
Sabian symbol
“A repressed woman finds a psychological release in nudism.”
The escape from bondage to social inhibitions and a reliance upon the wisdom of the body.
Sepharial
“A lyre lying upon a wreath of flowers.”
It denotes one who will show some remarkable powers of expression, and by the power of sound will persuade where others cannot compel by force. He may become a poet or musician, and in the gentler offices of life will show considerable talent. His nature will be docile, tractable, harmless and inoffensive. He will be constant in his attachments and will undergo some singular persecutions and tests of his fidelity, emerging there from victorious and undismayed. Should he follow the highest expressions of his faculty he will be capable of enunciating in language that is harmonious, persuasive and subtly compelling, a new body of doctrine or a new phase of philosophic truth. It is a degree of PERSUASION.

Charubel
“A man with a large pair of scales in the act of weighing.”
One who will have much to do with weights and measures; he will have a liking for such employment, and will be apt in matters of detail.

Kozminsky
“A flood of deep blue light which, gradually becoming more and more refined, fades away”
altogether. Denotes one of sublime aspirations. To him the spiritual is ever more attractive than the material. The more life advances, the more refined his philosophy becomes until its rays fade from earth with the soul so well expressing it. It is a symbol of Supersensualism.
