What are The Sabian symbols ?
—🔮—
The Sabian Symbols are a set of 360 symbolic images, one for each degree of the zodiac.
First developed in 1925 through a collaboration between astrologer Marc Edmund Jones and clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler, these symbols offer poetic, intuitive insight into the deeper meaning of each zodiacal degree.
The system is structured so that each symbol corresponds to a specific degree within a sign, numbered 1 through 30—making the Sabian degree one number higher than the zodiacal degree (e.g., 10° Aries uses the 11th symbol in Aries).
Over time, the Sabian Symbols have been recognized as rich in metaphor and layered with meaning. Marc Edmund Jones emphasized the relationships between symbols—especially by opposition—in his book *The Sabian Symbols in Astrology*.
Dane Rudhyar later expanded on their philosophical depth in *An Astrological Mandala*, organizing them into five-degree sequences to explore symbolic evolution.
