Sepharial
“Two men, well clad, are standing together, the one holding a white horn by the bridle.”
It points out a person who has much attitude in spiritual things, a tendency to believe much in earns and visions, and to pursue strange studies. It gives the friendship of notable persons and a taste for science among other things; but at the same time it may lead the native into dangerous paths. If influence falls to the hand of this man it may work him harm; It is a degree of DISPROPORTION.

“A red tree covered with golden fruit.”
A very noted degree. A person of a very positive nature. who, by dint of personal efforts and work, will produce something that will be a blessing to the race. No ordinary person, he or she will rise to eminence.

Kozminsky
“A drunken reveler holding a skull in his hands.”
Denotes one who is prone to take a fatalistic view of life and to play with it as a cat plays with a mouse. He may perform acts which will cause him suffering and sorrow, and seek to stifle memories in indulgence. Let him transmute himself, and turn his thoughts to the real, fine, and true, and so realize the philosophic power of Saturn when contained in Mercury. It is a symbol of Menace.

“A wretched man courageously leaves his beautiful mansion behind him. His wife, in a lavish dress, follows him with deep regret and looks back at their former abode.”
Unless the natal chart strongly indicates otherwise, this degree heralds that years of prosperity are followed by ruin and destitution.
