Sepharial
“A man of middle age watching over a cradle.”
It is the index of a nature that is given to repining and solitude yet bound by ties of kinship or love to those who are either enfeebled or bereft of health and fortune. In this character there is a melancholy resignation to the decrees of destiny, and an uncomplaining submission to the wrongs of this world. Himself a sufferer in silence, he will be little able to help in removing the load of care from the brows of others, yet his fidelity and natural sympathy will prevent him from deserting them altogether. Such a person will suffer severe bereavements and sorrows. It is a degree of REPINING.

Charubel

Kozminsky
“A dark bank of cloud passing in front of the sun, cutting its rays from the earth.”
Denotes one of a melancholic, retiring, and occult nature who is drawn to a life of austerity, and whose search is for that hidden grail which holds the nectar of life and supreme knowledge. He is religious and sincere, but he should be careful lest his peculiar attitude or method of approaching the secret should hide it from his view, as the dark cloud-bank hides the rays of the sun. It is a symbol of Monasticism.
