4th degree of Pisces
Sabian symbol
“Heavy car traffic on a narrow isthmus linking two seashore resorts.”
The mobility and intensity of interchange which make possible and characterize complex social processes.
Sepharial
“A trilithon consisting of two strong pillars of stone with a horizontal thwart of the same material. Within the trilithon is a strong iron gate.”
This is the index of one whose nature is set about with the security which arises from a prudent and cautious nature, a high order of intelligence and a strong stability of character. He will prove to be a haven of refuge for the weak and helpless and a protection to all who stand in need of a friend. Within his gate there is peace and security, rest and satisfaction. He will successfully with stand the assaults of his enemies, and although it will be at all times difficult to get at the inward nature and motive of his life, yet to those who are admitted to his confidence he will justify his reticence, his retirement and his independence of action. Justice and self-restraint will be the keynotes of his nature. It is a degree of DEFFENCE.

Charubel
“A man holding the end of a rope in his hand, the other end out of sight in the heavens.”
Denotes one who will betimes develop a very peculiar psychological power, which will place him or her in the condition to procure esoteric truth at will consciously. This belongs to a class of medium-ship of a very high order.

Kozminsky
“A lighthouse built on rocks in the midst of an angry sea. Over the sky is a rainbow.”
Denotes one who will be placed in the midst of unsettled chaotic conditions and who, as complication after complication arises, allows fear to hold him. Yet he is secure against storms and firm against disaster, although not from assault. He has mediumistic power to enable him to know his inward strength, but he fears to use it. If he would but turn his eyes upwards he would see beauty above fear and ever have hope before him. It is a symbol of Mistrust.
