Sabian Symbol Astrology: Your Life Sun Star Pattern

We all get to that place, a junction in our life where it appears that everything dissolves, people leave or the things we rely on as personal truths transform into something completely new. Have you wondered if only I knew before I could have planned, or at least been prepared? Well we can, if we look at our individual natal sun sabian symbol and see that as our essence, our core and the beginning of our life, we have tools through the symbols to see what is next. The 5 pointed star formation that acts as our time line for life is astrologically known as the ‘quintile aspect’ or 72 degree separation. Starting with the sun symbol and using it as time line for life, we can see a bit more.

Starting with Jerry’s personal Sun Sabian Symbol and incrementing approximately every 12-15 years, the following symbols will tell us about Jerry’s life, it adds extra elements and pieces of information that he can use when making important life decisions.

It was easy for us to see how Jerry’s first two symbols transpired in his life, as we have 20-20 hindsight, he grew up on a family farm, of course there were wells and dams on the farm, it was a slow, natural – old-fashioned life. As a young man Jerry admits and is quite proud of his party years. Jerry has just turned 31 and is now living his symbol, ‘A sight-seeing bus filled with tourists’. He is realizing his life is more to do with helping other people ‘see’ things clearer, in an organized way. He recently started driving big Mac trucks for his job, not quite a bus, but you can see the correlation. Next Jerry will transition into the symbol ‘a fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence’. I think we will see Jerry at this stage in his life accept ‘magic’ in his life. In a practical way this symbol is about using all the resources he knows about and sharing them with others. Who knows, he may end up driving a fire truck. As Jerry moves towards retirement age his symbol becomes ‘the purging of the priesthood’, a symbol that reflects reformation, renovation, and rejuvenation in his life. People often feel a great sense of loss when they retire, but when they have a plan and expect a shift in energy, these changes are much easier to grab and make a completely new fulfilling life.

The key is, once you have worked out your star pattern sabian symbols you can look back at different phases in your life and see how the symbol worked or materialized at that stage. Then you can work forward and look to new changes in your life. Also when you are looking for answers, knowing which phase you are currently in helps you find purpose, direction and motivation.

Interpreting Sabian Symbols is easy. My suggestion is to look at the symbol in three ways,

in a practical way, look for the symbol as a physical presence or memory in your life history,
in elemental components as you would in dream interpretation, and
its relevance to you right now. See how your intuition works with the symbol, let them speak to you.
