2nd degree of Capricorn
Sabian symbol
“Three rose windows in a gothic church, one damaged by war.”
The necessary realization by any individual making a violent use of collective power that it will lead to the inevitable destruction of some of the values ensuring group-integration.
Sepharial
“A vane of which the arrow is pointing North.”
This is an indication of a vacillating and uncertain disposition, now turning this way, and now that, and finally falling away into negation and ineptitude. Many enterprise will be undertaken and abandoned. Procrastination will be a besetting fault, and will lead to many difficulties. This is one whose efforts will be strenuous but fitful and lacking endurance, so that with more than usual effort he will achieve less than the ordinary. His end is obscure and darkly veiled. It is a degree of VACILLATION.

Kozminsky
“A revolving disc of light, red center surrounded by a black rim. The colors are pure and”
distinct. Denotes a distinct personality of a martial, philosophic type, whose destiny it is to leave his mark on the world’s tablet. The influence favors elevation to a certain position of responsibility, but having reached this it is difficult for the native to retain it, and his restless spirit brings him into conflict with enemies of power who, if he be not cautious, will overthrow him. It is a symbol of Wrestling.
