Chart 1 Natal (approx) chart and sabian symbols from Whatwatch at papertv.com
- Here a person who is essentially balanced in the elements of earth air fire and water, with a rather flexible approach to life.
- Perhaps indecisive at times, possibly unwilling to take the lead, prefering to be given the lead before taking the ball and running with it.
- Possibly a team player who can flex to different positions within the team when required.
But first, let's look at the progressed chart (where the DIRECTIONS of life are taking "Grace").
Chart 2 Progressed 50yr (approx)
From birth (Chart 1), I can see the SUN (creative spirit) approaching conjunction with MARS (active energy). This shows a person with much energy. Active energy that can be directed by the creative spirit. Hence, A VALUABLE TOOL in life will be remembering that there are creative solutions to problems, then acting on those solutions.
When we look at the DIRECTIONS (Chart 2), I can see that MARS (active energy) has just passed the natal JUPITER (knowledge), thus increased knowledge has occurred, and can now start to be applied about the age of 50 years.
Looking at the symbols attached to NEPTUNE ( subconsious, visions, dreams faith), JUPITER (knowledge) and MARS (active energy) in the natal chart (Chart 1) I can see the following:-
Neptune (subconscious, visions, faith, dreams) (Chart 3) shows a vast capacity to go very deep. There is, however, a tendency - a very strong tendency to stay deep, within the emotional subconscious framework and not return. She possible has found familiarity in this emotional depth, no matter how uncomfortable it is. This has a way of alienating "Grace" from the world, and gives a tendency to stay too "deep in emotion" and not surface for a healthy session in reality and lightness of being.
MARS (active energy), on the other hand, has briefly met with natal JUPITER (knowledge) over the past few years in Sagittarius (Chart 3), and the natal MARS has symbols of active seeking out knowledge, on many levels. And so, what we have is a person who has gained much knowledge, will actively seek out more knowledge, and apply that knowledge, especially as she comes into her 50's.
This knowledge, can help refloat "Grace" from those depths of emotion (NEPTUNE) that she is so accustomed and familiar with. The wider knowledge base acting as a bouyant life raft, on which she can surface back into the world, and stay above the deeper emotions of the subconscious, the bigger the life raft.
Below are the sabian symbols for each year (approximately) of "Grace's" life. Each year symbol represent's Grace's brief interest, via the spirit focus, for that year. Linda Hill has written a very useful book on the SABIAN SYMBOLS, it may be in a library for reference, or can be purchases via her website.
Sabian Symbol interpretations for each year of "Grace's" life, starting at year one, and going through to the mid sixties.
The years are abit "loose", and may merge. In other words, years one and two may merge somewhat, years ten and eleven may merge, years eleven and twelve may merge. It is the flow of events that I am looking at, in particular, though. The unfolding of symbolic spirit direction, as it travels through time and space, in "Grace's" worldly experience.
IN GENERAL
(SUN with LIBRA directions:- Creative spirit and balance)
- The first six years of life are about balance, hopes, wishes, and where "Grace" fits into the scheme of the world, on a one to one basis, while a rush of activity surrounds her.
(SUN moves to SCORPIO directions:- Creative spirit and transformations)
- From ages 6 to 16, many beginnings, deep deep emotions and the need for feeling nurtured, amidst an everchanging base is the overall trend
- The ages of 15 to 25 indicate a huge metamorphosis and transformation in the life, with a tendency to go deeper and deeper within oneself. There may be a deep urge to become financially independent, and the beginning of unlocking sexual mysteries that will lead to greater understanding/ benefit later in life
- The years 25-35 indicate rather mystical experiences, matters of faith are questioned, and dealings with institutions indicated, possibly also great limitations that lead to better inner understanding of self, and hidden enemies become better understood - such as the subconscious mind and fears
(SUN moves to SAGITTARIUS directions:- Creative spirit and knowledge)
- From year 36 to 46 there is an urge for "Grace" to walk her talk, and learn to sit well with just being herself. Insecurities, and self questioning abound, but there is a brashness and impulsiveness as well. Possibly elements of bravado in this period, leading to a greater understanding of self, and how she relates to the outer world, as a "real and authentic individual
- Years 45-55 show a creative phase, where the child within is finally contacted, the spirit is connected with in a divine and exciting way, speculations, gambling and many creative endeavours come to the fore. Music and theatricals can become part of the spirit path in these ten years
- Years 55-65 promise a release from binding conditions, true knowledge and expansion of purpose, living one' s talk and walking one's talk
(SUN moves to CAPRICORN directions:- creative spirit and building, learning and structuring)
- Year 65 onwards this is a good time to meet important people, feel good about oneself, and and get ready to go out into the world to help the community at large

finally, looking at the MOONS NODES
"North Node in Libra, South Node in Aries
The South Node in Aries represents a competitive urge— you want to win. You may try to do this by being defensive, combative, and competitive with others. However, you only win big when you cooperate in mutually beneficial partnerships, openly share your feelings and intentions, listen to and accept the help of others. You have good relationship karma— involve others in your decisions, and give of yourself, share your talents and abilities with others. You only really benefit from win/win cooperative situations, not win/lose battles.".
