8th degree of Pisces
Sabian symbol
“A girl blowing a bugle.”
A call to participation in the service of the race, as an evolutionary crisis approaches.
Sepharial
“A man with upraised arms submerged in the water, over which a heavy rain is falling.”
This is the index of one who is liable to suffer many affronts of fortune, due chiefly to his own incompetence and the attempting of things and enterprises that are beyond his powers. Let him study humility and service of others, and cultivate a proper understanding of his own aptitudes and powers. Thus he may escape a sudden and unlooked for ruin which otherwise must attend him in the boldest venture of his life. He may go into liquidation and become submerged, and crying for rescue from his helpless state, there may be found none to weep for him save Heaven, which yet is kind in that it permits this warning. Independence is not for those who have no knowledge of their own weakness. The strong swimmer alone can attempt the deep waters. It is a degree of INCOMPETENCE.

Charubel
“The full Moon.”
Denotes a practical business person, one who readily allies himself with the world’s ways, and with ordinary matters in general. One never short of expedients. A little cantankerous and not one of the pleasantest companions.

Kozminsky
“A slave-merchant selling a beautiful woman in an Eastern market-place.”
Denotes one who is destined to have power over others and who may be forced by circumstances to obey the wills of stronger forces. Necessity may compel him to barter his dearest possession for external advantage, but those to whom he barters it prize it. His is a peculiar life of importance, but not one of absolute free will. It is a symbol of Responsibilities.

“A man and a woman on their horses progress at a quiet pace, side by side. Behind them are two concentric circles.”
