Themes in Sabian Symbols - Unicorns
Published 7/1/05

Angels, Fairies, mer-people and UNICORNS. I am a Unicorn person (shouts madly waving me yes me) I love Unicorns, but I don’t have any Unicorn Sabian Symbols in my natal chart (disappointing I know) BUT my son, he has! Sabian Symbols work within our own charts, but often we find more treasures in looking at our loved ones charts. Synchronicity, soul connections, reflections, karmic ties, family karma, all explained within the Sabian Symbol Connections. Unicorns symbolise high ideals, hope, insight, power, gentleness, healing and purity. The Unicorn Sabian Symbols as Unicorns are hidden, sacred and not easy to spot, within some symbols the Unicorn is not even mentioned, but when you meditate with the symbol a Unicorn will often tentatively rush into the scene to show you more spirit than you had imagined.

 

Here are a few Unicorn Sabian Symbols:

 

GEMINI 26 - WINTER FROST IN THE WOODS
“In the heart of the forest a Unicorn is born. The trees hold gentle branches around it, the forest pools guard its secret; only the stars can see. Among the silent spaces of the trees it grows protected, nurtured..” --Josephine Bradley, In Pursuit of the Unicorn (1980)

The White Unicorn, born of the forest, wild and free. The heart of the forest, the divine light, divine life. With this symbol in your natal chart you understand the natural flow of life in all ways, seasons, dimensions. You have the strength and integrity that comes from inner spiritual growth, from the Unicorn’s splendor your own magnificence is revealed. You are calm, silent, connecting with the hidden and unseen in this world, you are a survivor. Natural truth, purity, and love.


LEO 23 - A BAREBACK RIDER
“Now I will believe that there are Unicorns,” --William Shakespeare, The Tempest (1612)

With this Sabian Symbol, in your natal chart the most natural thing in the world is to know and see Unicorns as you are a Unicorn. With a passionate belief in what you are doing, why you are here, what your soul’s purpose is, you believe in potential, you know your abilities, you have courage and conviction to carry out your destiny. You have mastery over powerful energies. You can talk to animals, magical creatures befriend you and they ask you for help. You remain skillful during your life, as you keep spiritually fit. The circle is a powerful symbol for you, the bareback rider in the circus performs within the rings at the circus, as the circle of life is your stage.

VIRGO 6 - A MERRY-GO-ROUND
“God himself must needs be traduced, if there is no Unicorn.” --Edward Topell,  Historie of Four-Footed Beasties (17th Century)

Indeed how many merry-go-rounds are made up entirely of Unicorns, patiently following the human soul around and around with the purpose to give joy, hope and reward. Your gifts are to blend in, create a diversion and invisibility. You are the Unicorn healing, giver of inspiration and hope. This is the most visible Unicorn the world knows, you appear creating wonder and excitement for those who can see, and for those who can’t see the Unicorn in the person, the gift of love and light is always felt on some level. Oh those who are fortunate enough to ride on a Unicorn carousel.

SAGITTARIUS 25 - A HOBBYHORSE
"'Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!' 'Well, now that we have seen each other,' said the Unicorn, 'if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.'" --Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

This Sabian Symbol is, as a child, freedom to play, imagination untapped, happiness in the moment and complete innocence. With this symbol in your natal chart you are close to the Unicorns that surround you, you hold the lightest Unicorn energy. You will have an affinity with children as on the surface you are carefree and progressive, and deeper, you know the true potential of the young spirit. We will also find the symbolism of a good omen, lucky signs and happy days. The gift with this symbol is you don’t have to see to believe.

PISCES 9 - A JOCKEY SPURS HIS HORSE TO GREAT SPEED
Hagrid- "It's not easy ter catch a Unicorn, they're powerful magic creatures."
--JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone


Pisces 9 symbolizes a spectacular gift, where the eagerness of life itself is crystallized. It is in a spiritual light that you transcend the horse and become the Unicorn. When you have this symbol in your chart, you embody the rider and the horse, you are an energy force moving forward through all space and time. Freedom of movement and freedom of thought are yours. You have high ideals, light speed intuition and you will rise to meet any occasion. You have a heightened sense of assisting time meet your goals.

Sabian Connections are a wonderful tool to see karmic ties, as I mentioned earlier my son has a few of the unicorn symbols in his chart and I none – well I DO have one.. but that’s another story!
