SABIAN SYMBOLS OF THE NEW AGE NETWORK CHART.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASCENDENT: 11 SAG: In the left section of an archaic temple, a lamp burns in a
|
|
container shaped like a human body.
|
|
|
|
Original formulation of this symbol spoke of physical enlightenment and what
|
|
seems to be the need to rely on the wisdom of the body. Refers to a process of
|
|
deconditioning or consciousness that is prisoner of intellectual concepts with
|
|
total reliance on quantitative values, objectivity and conformity to the
|
|
official patterns of our culture.
|
|
|
|
MOON: 12 SAG: A flag turns into an eagle and the eagle into a chanticleer
|
|
saluting the dawn.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: The spiritualization and promotion of great symbols of a New Age by
|
|
minds sensitive to its precursory manifestations.
|
|
|
|
The flag is an abstract symbol of a nation. The eagle is concepts made by bold
|
|
and transcendent action. The eagle symbolizes spiritual will and the power to
|
|
rise to the highest possible altitude of consciousness and purpose.
|
|
|
|
It urges us to bring our ideals to actual life through the power of spiritual
|
|
will.
|
|
|
|
VENUS: 27 SAG: A sculptor at his work.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: The ability to project one's vision upon and to give forms to
|
|
materials.
|
|
|
|
At this stage, the individual is creatively expressing his own individuality.
|
|
He
|
|
shapes the materials in his social-geographical environment and shapes them to
|
|
reveal to others something of his own inner life and purpose.
|
|
|
|
URANUS: 3 CAPRICORN: A human soul, eager for new experiences, seeks
|
|
embodiment.
|
|
|
|
Keyote: A powerful yearning for whatever will increase the depth and scope of
|
|
one's contacts with other living beings.
|
|
|
|
SATURN: 10 CAPRICORN: An albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: The overcoming of fear and its rewards.
|
|
|
|
Every living entity plays a role in the world's ritual of existence: beyond
|
|
these
|
|
specific roles, which too often separate one entity from another, the communion
|
|
of love and compassion can bring together the most disparate lives. We are
|
|
presented, at this stage, with a picture extending the ideal of peace and
|
|
happiness through culture so now it includes all living organisms on this
|
|
planet. The power of such a culture of harmlessness nd compassion generates
|
|
TRUST everywhere.
|
|
|
|
NEPTUNE: 11 CAPRICORN: A large group of pheasant on a private estate.
|
|
|
|
This sequence shows us how man can cooperate with nature in creating beauty and
|
|
elegance by capitalizing on skill and opportunity. The Keyword is ARISTOCRACY.
|
|
|
|
NORTH NODE: 13 Aquarius: A barometer.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: Ability to discover basic natural facts that allow us to plan for
|
|
actions in advance.
|
|
|
|
Here we are no longer dealing with ascent or descent, but with natural laws
|
|
which involve causal relationships and the passage of one natural condition
|
|
into
|
|
another. The barometer registers air pressure, and a change of pressure today
|
|
gives some indication of what the weather will be tomorrow. In a sense this is
|
|
the modern scientific equivalent of prognostication through omens. Planning for
|
|
the near future is a possibility because the potential (or seed) of the future
|
|
is
|
|
already operating at the core of the present.
|
|
|
|
This sequence tells us that it is most important to seek -- by whatever means
|
|
and at
|
|
whatever level of consciousness -- a knowledge of causal progression. In the
|
|
broadest sense this implies an awareness of cyclic processes, and this includes
|
|
Astrology. Keyword: Anticipation.
|
|
|
|
JUPITER: 11 CANCER: A clown caricaturing well-known personalities.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: The value of humor in developing objectivity and independence of mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Humor or irony is a powerful tool in assessing the value of sociocultural
|
|
realities, and thereby in freeing oneself from prejudice and glamor.
|
|
Laughter deconditions and often paves the way to a realization that we need not
|
|
be
|
|
unduly impressed by what our tradition has more or less forced upon our
|
|
consciousness. The clown, of course, is the more popular manifestation of this
|
|
urge to laugh, which seems to be such a basic characteristic of human nature.
|
|
Caricature and satire are more intellectual forms of the same need for
|
|
intellectual freedom.
|
|
|
|
The first step is a cathartic one..the ability to laugh, which includes the
|
|
ability to laugh at one's petty habits and mannerisms..indeed, at one's own
|
|
pomposity. It is a DECONDITIONING step.
|
|
|
|
MARS: 29 LIBRA: Mankind's vast and enduring effort to reach for knowledge
|
|
transferable from generation to generation.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: A deep sense of participation in, and commitment to, social processes
|
|
which seek to bring to all men Truth and a greater Life.
|
|
|
|
This stage rests upon a deep feeling of the value of community and is based on
|
|
consciousness, choice, will and self-scrifice for the sake of future human
|
|
beings. To join other women and men in the vast process of a living
|
|
civilization
|
|
is to fulfill the basic implications of the human stage of cosmic evolution...a
|
|
stage characterized by CONSCIOUS PARTICIPATION.
|
|
|
|
MERCURY: 4 SCORPIO: A youth carrying a lighted candle in a devotional ritual.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: Educated power of ceremonies which impress the great images of
|
|
culture
|
|
upon its gathered participants.
|
|
|
|
A community of beings is ensouled by a few basic symbols which illustrate and
|
|
structure the group's particular culture.
|
|
|
|
SUN: 10 SCORPIO: A fellowship supper reunites old comrades.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: The overtones of human realtionships based on a community of work or
|
|
experiences.
|
|
|
|
This symbol pictures the essential nature of the bond that unites individuals
|
|
who
|
|
have participated in some common activity. The social feeling of communion,
|
|
plus all that it engenders, arises after the act performed together. Activity
|
|
is at the root of consciousness. Activity in common generates social
|
|
consciousness and cultural patterns which become set in the form of
|
|
institutions.
|
|
A group-personality emerges, which displays chracteristic features and gives
|
|
birth to collective emotions and values.
|
|
|
|
Wherever this symbol appears, it suggests the importance of establishing
|
|
or strengthening links with those with whom one has shared, or can share,
|
|
living
|
|
experiences. The value of COMRADESHIP is emphasized.
|
|
|
|
PLUTO: 15 SCORPIO: Children playing around 5 mounds of sand.
|
|
|
|
Keynote: Early steps in the development of a mind seeking to be attuned to the
|
|
higher level of human evolution.
|
|
|
|
Cryptic symbol. Man's essential destiny is to develop as a five-fold being, a
|
|
Pentagram or 5 pointed starr. #5 symbolizes mind in its most creative and
|
|
penetrating aspect. What is seen here is FUTURE-ORIENTED GROWTH.
