Sabian symbol
“A “materializing” medium giving a seance.”
The ability to give of one’s own vital energy to substantiate one’s conscious ideals or unconscious desires.
Sepharial
“A worrior in helmet drawing a long bow which the fletch is duly set.”
This symbol is capable of two renderings, the first of which points to a strong character, a set purpose a lofty aim and is some particular sense the gift of prophecy and knowledge of future events. On the other hand, there is the weakness which depends on the hazard of life, the carelessness or indifference which arises from lack of interest and finds expression in vanity and self-inflation. At its best it signifies the higher indifference which affects the mind secure of its achievements, in the worst case it denotes improvidence and carelessness, a life set upon a hazard. It is a degree of SEECULATION.

Charubel
“A column of smoke ascending on a gigantic scale, followed by a terrible burst of flame. The phenomenon partakes of the character of an explosion.”
This degree is subtle its events are sudden, always falling out unexpectedly, and generally disastrously. He or she having this degree ascending should exercise caution in every undertaking, as such persons will be in danger of sudden losses in life, and a sad death. NOTE.-THIS IS NOT FATE, but there will ever be a tendency in the direction already mentioned.

Kozminsky
“A heap of broken arms and military trappings lying in a muddy pool.”
Denotes one who will know the poverty of aggression and who will suffer from the effects of his actions and intentions. He will understand that what is gained by force may become a curse instead of a blessing, and why the so-called glories of ancient Rome became so many daggers at her throat when the results of her deeds brought her to earth. Let the native prove his power in a greater way than by contention. Let him clear his mind and control himself if he can. It is a symbol of Militancy.
