The Sabian Sequence: Karmic Condition - Focus - Quest
Published 1/30/07

 

Each degree of the astrological wheel holds so much potential, energy, description and consequence. With 360 degrees there is a lot of information that can be understood. As we have worked with Sabian Symbols in past articles, we will look and see here how you can apply those principles.

 

Let's look at the Sabian Sequence -


Karmic Condition
Focus
Quest
is the mission you have set out on and the tools you have available to you to succeed.
is your strength and power source, your movement through life.
sheds light onto the outcome and experience; it is the culmination of your efforts.

 

For example, living with the belief you are a "typical" Leo will no longer suffice. You can know more fully what, who, and how you are. We find more detail, refined energy by looking at your day and time of birth, supporting you in a more personal way.


Born on the 19th of August, you have the Sabian Sequence of:

Karmic Condition
  LEO 25, "A large camel crossing the desert."
Focus
  LEO 26, "A Rainbow"
Quest
  LEO 27, "Daybreak"

As an aside - Born on the 19th of August you have the solar Crystal Element Focus is Rainbow Fluorite. You then look to the Crystal Elements directly before and after your solar Crystal Element, which gives you a Crystal Sequence of:

Karmic Condition - Focus - Quest : Desert Rose - Rainbow Fluorite - Citrine

You may be drawn to a significant Crystal Element in your Crystal Sequence and prefer to work with that crystal as a significant energy force in your life. After my book Crystal Astrology is released in June 2007, a full list of crystal elements will be available on this site.


KARMIC CONDITION

The Karmic Condition is the astrological degree directly before the focus degree. The Karmic Condition provides valuable insight to what tools are available to you and what strengths you have. The Karmic Condition may also indicate history or baggage, insight into the causes of certain traits and patterns. With “A large camel crossing the desert,” travel will feature prominently in your life, most likely travel by car. You will also be an independent, strong, nature loving person.

FOCUS

This sun Focus is for someone born on the 19th August. This is the significant section that relates to this person’s birthday. This section describes and lists the main symbols that this person should evaluate in their life. It offers the greatest gifts and highlights subtle challenges. It is a summary of the astrological degree of their natal sun at the time of birth. With a rainbow as your focus, you are blessed with a wonderful, happy, prosperous, and lucky focus symbol. Rainbow’s energy fills your aura and rainbows are lucky for you. You are able to break things up and see the many parts in the whole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leo 26 is the degree your sun was sitting at the time of your birth. Leo 25 sheds extra light onto your abilities and personality. Leo 27 helps you toward your future. This Sabian Sequence provides you with three potent images to exchange energy with, learn from, and work with. Choose the image from your Sabian Sequence that you are most attracted to, and honor the energy and support the other Sabian Symbols have to offer you.

You will find a particular Sabian Symbol will not sit perfectly on one particular calendar day. This is because there are more than 360 days in a calendar year. Also, your place and time of birth will influence which Astrological Degree your sun sits at. The brilliantly original concept of the Sequence, Karmic Condition - Focus - Quest, was defined by Lynda Hill, Author and Astrologer, is regularly used as a tool reading the Sabian Symbols. Kindly, Lynda Hill provided me with guidance and permission to promote the Sabian Symbol Sequence.

 

Wishing you a happy, safe, and prosperous 2007!
