Sepharial
“A snake coiled around a free, its head raised, ready to strike.”
It denotes a person of scientific powers and, learning in the subtle arts; one who is capable of carrying out the most elaborate researches with patience and intelligence of the highest order. Withal there is within the mind of the native a certain degree of cupidity and cunning, which, wisely directed, will be of great service in daily life. There is also a keen sense of rivalry and competition , a love of personal adventure, which the native will use in a very subtle manner. Generally speaking, the native is acute, cunning, cautions, and very intelligent; but jealous and envious, and to be warily dealt with on that account. There is moderate success in life shown. It is a degree of SUBTLETY.

Charubel
“Something like a forge beneath the surface of the earth. A number of men are working in an almost nude state, owing to the heat. It proves to be an engine room belonging to a large steamer.”
This person will undergo much suffering. He may leave his native land under very gloomy circumstances. I advise such an one to live very quietly, to get into some settled and uniform mode of living; to keep clear of all of a speculative character, and never to take on himself any office of trust, or where great responsibilities are involved.

“A lawyer placing a document before a client, who signs it. His eyes are bandaged.”
Denotes one who should be critically careful of attaching his name to papers and in putting absolute trust in interested advisers. In all writings, care should be taken if the native would save himself sorrow, suffering, and the results of impulsive action. He should look many times at a pen before he dips it in the ink. It is a symbol of Complications.
