Sepharial
“An old man with a pack upon Ass back and a long staff in his hand walking down, a hill.”
This indicates one whose fortunes are likely to prove very remarkable. Estranged at an early age from his kindred he will follow an adventurous fortune and his livelihood will be to that extent precarious and uncertain. He will roam into distant countries and experience many privations, always sustaining his lot with quiet resignation and singular indifference of spirit. He will attain to sonic distinction, but will suffer reversal and in the end will carry his load of cares downhill to the grave. In some special manner he will prove himself to be a man of singular character and remarkable powers. It is a degree of PILGRIMAGE.

Charubel
“A deep red star, a star of the first magnitude, on the ascendant; but a very short interval elapses between its rising and its setting. But when set, I see a pale golden light succeeding.”
This is a virulent degree. If this be thy ascendant beware ! Do not follow the dictates of passion, nor yield to the desires of thy lower nature. If thou dost, a short and wretched life is thy lot; thou wilt die before thy prime is passed. But if by virtue of a firm resolve thou art able to overcome those elemental promptings, then thou will pass through the evil crisis, and thereby ensure a long, useful, prosperous, and happy life.

Kozminsky
“Venus and Cupid, metamorphosed as two fishes, swimming from a giant who stands on a”
rock. Denotes one of a sensitive disposition and pure mind who understands intuitively the true meaning of love as symbolized in the planet Venus, sublime and in her dignity. His enemy is lust, which threatens to cling to him and by craft to hold the throne of his soul in the guise of love. But the native will know vice as a destroying angel only, and his knowledge will protect him and set him free. It is a symbol of Transmutation.
