22nd degree of Virgo
Sabian symbol
“A royal coat of arms enriched with precious stones.”
The certification of aristocratic status, at whatever level “nobility” expresses itself in cultural eminence.
Sepharial
“A well-favored woman, but of evil aspect, stands before a mirror.”
It denotes a person of a sensuous and worldly nature, very susceptible to flattery; vain, easily led away, and in great danger of a downfall. Unless the native urges a strong moral resistance to his instincts he will incur shame and dishonor through his alliances with the opposite sex. The same applies mutatis mutandis to a female. It Is a degree of SENSUOUSNESS.

Charubel
“An extensive forest; in the distance, the sun just peeping above the horizon and flooding the tops of the trees with his glowing rays.”
This denotes what the Greek cynic, Diogenes, was looking for with his lantern. A man. Yes, a man among men. One who will spontaneously elicit the goodwill and plaudits of his fellow-men. Thousands will look up to him for light and for guidance. It is possible he may initiate a new epoch, or prove himself the founder of a new philosophy.

Kozminsky
“Nymphs and fauna in the midst of Bacchanalian orgies in the woods.”
Denotes one of an artistic and sensuous nature who may be misled by the allurement of passion and desire. He is always a true friend, but may put his trust in the hands of those who are unworthy to hold it. He should be careful lest the awakening brings suffering. Under certain horoscopical conditions this degree can denote one of an entirely opposite nature, but with it there is always some degree of binding. It is a symbol of Seduction.

“A half-naked woman wearing a crown of flowers on her tousled hair dances in a garden and bends over a fish pond to admire her reflection in the water. Nearby, a courtesan plays with a billy goat.”
