Sepharial
“A ship in full sail.”
It indicates a person of a roving and fanciful nature, always on the alert for some new experience, a new sensation, an d of romance and danger therein. The native will travel to foreign countries and will either become a sailor or will gain his reputation and means of subsistence by work connected with the sea. It is a degree of ROVING.

Charubel
“I sec rings of light in the heavens; ring within ring, or zone within zone.”
A mind not at all adapted for this day. He fails to fit in the general mould of modern ideas. He lives in a world of his own, nor will he be understood by the men of his age. He is the man for a far distant future.

Kozminsky
“The Virgin Astraa, with bandaged eyes, being away by the angels from the world flooded”
with blood, misery, injustice, and crime. Denotes one of a refined and sweet nature who keenly feels the wickedness of this wrongly taught world, which would be God’s own paradise were men fair and kind to one another. The native should not allow others to lead him into speculation or any form of gambling or chance. He is ideal in thought, and seer enough to see what might have been. It is a symbol of Sympathy.
