There are many ways we can use the Sabian Symbols, my other articles have concentrated on natal chart interpretation, but the symbols can also be used by any one for a ‘reading’ about any question you can think of.

The Sabian Symbols are the most modern astrological tool we have for divining fortune, answering your own questions, the insights are truly astounding. By using the Sabian Symbols as an Oracle you have the power in your own hands to read your own future more clearly and accurately than the tarot, i-ching or the runes. Remembering a woman intuited the Sabian Symbols they are full of the energy of the Goddess.
 
Consider a question, any question and either choose a random symbol generated on the internet* or by using the set of cards that comes with Lynda Hill’s amazing Sabian Symbol book, 360 degrees of Wisdom.
 
As an example I will consider a question: Is further study an option for me this year?

The Sabian Symbol answer is *** CAPRICORN 27 *** A MOUNTAIN PILGRIMAGE “There is always a need to strive further, and to learn more on our path to understanding. You may feel the desire to follow those that have gone before you to achieve a true sense of inner fulfillment. The effort may be great, but so are the rewards. Work towards your own 'mountain top'..  Ascent in consciousness. Aloneness and separation. Setting off on a mission. Spiritual, material, corporate or political striving.  The Caution: High moral stand put on show with no depth of feeling. Feeling "high above" others.”  So simple, yes I will do more study!

Another question, will my son be happy at school this year?

The Sabian Symbol answer is *** CAPRICORN 16 *** SCHOOL GROUNDS FILLED WITH BOYS AND GIRLS IN GYMNASIUM SUITS … out of 360 different symbols that range from Angels to train crashes I randomly pick the one where children are playing at school!

Now for something else – what would people reading this most like to know-

The answer from the Sabian Symbols is *** GEMINI 11 *** NEWLY OPENED LANDS OFFER THE PIONEER NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPERIENCE  ‘There's a need to break away from old familiar ground and move out into unknown territory. Fear is the greatest barrier to moving forward, but the familiar must be left behind for new possibilities. Taking opportunities to move on to new realms of being can lead to a whole new experience or indeed a whole new life. Pioneering attitudes bring their own rewards. Going off the beaten track. Coming up with new ideas. New spiritual realizations opening up vistas of experience. Adjusting to new places.. The Caution: Clinging to the old and familiar. Restricting growth and change. Not taking new opportunities or moving on.’

Did that speak to you?

Finding the answers has never been this easy.
