I believe in Fairies, do you? Do Fairies play in your garden, annoy your cats and leave gifts at your door? Are you a Fairy Godmother? Have you ever seen your wings, changed time to assist you or manifested something you really needed at the last moment? Have you heard of the term Incarnated Elemental Fairy? Are you a Fairy or do you have a Fairy as a guide? Maybe you have a Fairy Sabian Symbol in your natal Symbols.
Fairies are little bundles of joy, happiness, elegance, magic and a little mischief rolled up into colorful flying beings. Fairies love Roses, Bluebells, Thyme, Willow, Elder, Alder and Oak trees. Fairies live in harmony with other fairies, dancing, playing music and drinking (dew). Famous fairies, well we all know Tinkerbell (Peter Pan), the Tooth Fairy, The Fairy Godmother (Cinderella and Shriek), The Blue Haired Fairy (Pinocchio) Oberon the King of the Fairies, his wife Tatiana, Puck and Ariel (Shakespeare) Flower Fairies, and of course the Fairies in the movie Labyrinth who bit, what kind are you?
Beltane is the 1st of May, we must watch for Fairies. Beltane is the night when the queen of the fairies will ride out on her white steed to entice humans away to Fairyland. If you hear the bells of the Fairy Queen's horse, you are advised to look away, so she will pass you by; or she may take you. So for May, the theme is Fairies, as there is much more chance we may catch a glimpse of them magically playing.
A sprinkle of Fairy dust and off we go. The Sabian Symbols that specifically mention fairies include:
Aries 16 - Brightly Clad Brownies Dancing in the Setting Sun
Brownies are folk-lore fairies from the British Isles, helpful and industrious they live in hearth, field, or forest. People don’t speak of a brownie by name, they are usually called “the good people,” or “the other folk”. If this symbol is in your chart you will have other names you go by. With these little people in your chart, you too must be a helper, a busy worker and an industrious person. This is a symbol of belonging, you have a strong sense of who you are and find belonging to groups very beneficial. The caution with this symbol is working too hard for too long without thanks, praise or reward. Emotional reward can be given to yourself, dancing obviously is one way of celebrating your achievements. Open your mind to possibilities and listen to the messages from within. Remember you are being guided and protected by the little people. Look to nature, at sunset to see and feel Fairies.
Cancer 7 - Two Fairies Dancing on a Moonlit Night
This symbol indicates you really need to find like minded people to spend time with or your energy will diminish. You have an active imagination and should let it flow without worrying about if it has practical uses – do ‘it’ for enjoyment (dance, sing, paint, write). The fairy symbol indicates you have access to unseen astral realms – these are real realms apart from our ‘scientific’ world. Full moon and other nature celebrations, and events draw you, you love the full moon. The full moon also links with the divine feminine, secret women’s business and girl power. Fertility, depending which planet is ruled by this symbol may indicate abundance or restricted within cycles. This is the symbol for Fairy Circles, the little rings of mushrooms that mark where fairies have been dancing.
Virgo 5 - A Person Dreaming of Fairies
This symbol in your chart shows you can see other realms. Your spiritual outlook is much broader than other people’s. Imagination is the key to your talents. You gain your knowledge directly from the mystic unconscious, and express that information creatively. Indeed you can see things that are invisible to others. The challenge is to bring this information, your experiences into this world to share. You will have a favorite‘fairy tale’ and probably have a very large collection of fairies too. Men in particular who have this symbol often have model cars, trains or planes instead of fairies. On a practical level this symbol indicates eccentric things – you have different hobbies or unusual talents and you express yourself in an erratic and dynamic fashion. Fairies also indicate flying, wings, silks and ribbons. Incantations mantras and charms are important aspects of this symbol.
Scorpio 23 - A Rabbit Metamorphosed into a Fairy
This is a pure transformation symbol ‘artistic transforming into spiritual’ symbol, grounded learning to fly. With this symbol in your chart, your psychic talents are very real, morphing, flying, and invisibility are your hidden or not so hidden talents. You will probably be adept at teaching others how to metamorphose (heal and learn). An excellent communication symbol when it comes to explaining the progression from animal/human to spiritual. In communicating – art, writing a book, singing, talking you will reveal to yourself your hidden psychic and spiritual talents, you are moving to a new level – be forgiving with those who cannot follow, take time to explain to them your path, but do not try and force them to follow you.
Scorpio 28 - The King of the Fairies Approaching his Domain
King Oberon the King of the Fairies, his domain of love, potions and magical transformations. If this symbol is in your natal chart you will be a student of the arts, dance, culture and or magic. You have a very vivid imagination, which at times you confuse with your natural psychic ability. Your allegiance to the ‘magic’ rules you must live by as a spiritual and psychic person in this life happily may be a challenge. When you meditate you may find fairies visit you, tugging you toward emotional creativity and fun. This symbol is also about having a spiritual home – internally and externally. If you are deeply religious it is the same meaning.
