What are Sabian Symbols?

Sabian Symbols are images or metaphors, clairvoyantly derived by Elsie Wheeler in 1925, which were interpreted by Marc Edmund Jones to trigger his understanding of each one of the 360 degrees of the zodiac separately, and also by Dane Rudhyar to create a schematic that outlines the journey towards self-realisation.

Each of the 360 symbols and explanations can be seen as a life mystery. Each of us will have our own personal take on it, and this can be as valid as any attempt the author makes to give objective meaning. It all depends on how capable you are at opening the subtle, intuitive aspect of mind to unveil the mystery.

The Three Sabian Masters

Sabian Symbols | Dane Rudhyar | Sabian Degrees

Elsie Wheeler (1887 –1938)

As the spiritualist medium who derived the images, the Sabian Symbol for her Neptune position is rather apt:
A glass bottomed boat in still water
She was bored with what was currently accepted wisdom and stared down into unknown regions of the psyche to reach another level of awareness.

Bio by Lynda Hill

Marc Edmund Jones (1888 –1980)

Jones was a tireless practitioner, lecturer, and teacher, an exemplar around the world of living astrology for nearly seventy years. He was a philosopher of astrology, an occult astrologer who, in addition to Sabian Symbols, brought many innovative techniques and esoteric methods.

Sabian Assembly

Dane Rudhyar (1895 –1985)

Regarded with Jung as a key figure in a more psychologically sophisticated astrology, he was a classical musician, composer, artist, theosophist and philosopher. He had truly exceptional insights into Astrology and the way the Sabian Symbols can be used to outline the path to personal realisation.
