18th degree of Scorpio
Sabian symbol
“A path through woods brilliant with multicolored splendor.”
The exalted feeling of a work well done and a truly consummated life.
Sepharial
“A woman charming snakes, one of which is twined about her neck.”
It is the index of a watchful, brave, but suspicious and jealous nature. Such an one will brave many dangers for the sake of mastery over the passions of others, and will be active in the attainment of the arts of conquest. Nevertheless it is probable that eventually the life will be endangered thereby, and, beyond the loss of power where it is most to be desired, the danger of a poisoned love, or a yet more sinister folly, will threaten to crush and obliterate this person. It is a degree of JEALOUSY.

Kozminsky
“A ballet dancer who has just left the stage talking to some men who are flattering her.”
Denotes one for whom pleasure hides danger. His passions are high and not easy to control, and his appetites tend to follow his desires. There is a love of grace in art, movement, and sound which impels him to excitement and sensation. He attempts to influence and control, but is liable to be deceived himself in the end. Let him be warned. It is a symbol of Inflaming.
