Most people not only know what their Star Sign is, they also know what other peoples Star Signs are and what it means. Have you ever thought about other people who are the same star sign as you and said WOW, we are NOT the same. Traditional Astrology explains much of why we are so different, in that all the planets need to be taken into consideration, and the aspects and all that technical stuff many of us never really get round to fully understanding. Well, knowing your Sabian Symbols is a modern way for us to clearly and accurately understand our personal astrology. There are 30 Sabian Symbols for each sign of the Zodiac. So for Aries, there are essentially 30 ‘categories’ of Aries, 30 for Taurus and so on till we get 30 for Pisces. That means there are actually 360 different ‘essences’ within traditional Astrology.
