5th degree of Scorpio
Sabian symbol
“A massive rocky shore resists the pounding of the sea.”
The inertia of all institutionalized procedures.
Sepharial
“A storm-swept prairie.”
Free as the wind that blows will be the mind of him who shall answer to this degree of the circle. Violent withal and rash, he shall put forth much strength to no purpose, and the path of him will be marked by waste and extravagance. Fallen idols and desolated temples will be the outcome of his genius, and to destroy where he cannot build will appear his appear his aimless pursuit in life. Nevertheless in the end he will become himself the desecrated tomb of many forlorn and blighted hopes. It is a degree of WANTONNESS.

Kozminsky
“An ancient temple from which shoot forth forks of electricity.”
Denotes one singularly gifted and of great power of observation who has ability to turn even the thoughts of old-world philosophies into forms of materialistic triumph. He is disposed to regard the thoughts of men and to ponder over, consider, and utilize what most people would cast aside as useless. Failures do not daunt his spirit, for he knows that success comes from repeated failures. He “attempts the end and does not stand to doubt.” It is a symbol of Achievement.
