Sepharial
“A man standing with drawn sword.”
This indicates a character that is given to strife and aggression whether in assaults-at-arms or in polemics. He will lead a life of continual warfare, and litigation, and will be in danger of wounding and of being wounded. Wherever he goes he will make enemies and will be in peril of his life thereby. Armed, he is yet unshielded, and this is a challenge which even gods will not ignore. It is a degree of WOUNDING.

Charubel
“A stupendous waterfall.”
Fond of the wild and romantic in nature and in art; the ordinary humdrum life is by far too tame for such a nature, where the love of the marvelous super abounds.

Kozminsky
“A woman of angry countenance holding a dagger in her hand.”
Denotes one strongly passionate and well favored who finds it difficult to subdue and control the forces by which he is swayed. Hence there is a tendency to do many regrettable things. He may be drawn into litigation and quarrels of various kinds, and may be tempted to aggressive action and threatening attitudes. Gradually, then, the finer side of his character will be hidden if not corrupted by the employment of the grosser. It is a symbol of Mutiny.
