Aries 7 - sabian astrology in 7 words - By: BurgessJames

With your sun sign, have you ever thought that, even though it says a lot about you, won’t be totally specific about every aspect of your personality, will it? Undeniably not with an astonishing significance so that all of your life experience has to acquire a different meaning. Well, have a look at these Sabian Symbols – they may cause you to change your thinking! The Sabian slant is somewhat unique.

Well you may be interested in what are these symbols are? Sabian Symbols are 360 in number, images – one for each degree of the zodiac – that have been clairvoyantly derived by a woman, Elsie Wheeler, and unravelled by an American astrologer, Dr Marc Edmund Jones. Each one offers a subtle clue about the principal significance of that point, which will probably release some very useful and provoking perceptions for you.

It works even if it’s not your particular degree – and yet a lot better if it is. It’s best to allow yourself time to do it slowly, like a meditation. Let each of the short paragraphs sink in slowly and try to feel what it means, as well as using the mind…or just sit with the images for a while and use your power of imagination to create some playful stories around it.

Having come to some new realizations about the essence of who you are, there is another stage you can adopt – to decide to be different. You can influence a lot more of your circumstances than you usually do when you engage fully with the deepest part of your unique identity, by taking on the qualities indicated by your Sabian symbol.

Also if you are clearer about who you are, then you become a lot more certain about what you want out of life. You can set your goals according to an overall vision of the bigger picture, and that itself leads to a much greater chance of success. It helps with focus so that you keep your attention fixed on the required outcome.

Reading your own Sabian Symbol is a bit like getting a brother or sister to speak honestly about you. They know you well, with all your dark bits and your light, and although they love you, they’ll tell you the hard truth! It can be difficult to hear, yet useful for those who are trying to become better people. It may be necessary to reread it a few times and think deeply about what is actually being said.

There is so much we could do with our lives! Opportunities are endless and very diverse, each day bringing little clues and teases to nudge us toward a little more unfolding of potential. Saying No to this and Yes to that surely requires us to trust our feelings and surrender to the inevitable – that, come what may, we all end up being who we are: nothing more, nothing less.

The nature of reality is not made clear to us except insofar as we are able to create for ourselves a well-defined identity. This clarity of identity progresses in direct proportion to the degree of proficiency we develop as we learn how to control events.

The mastery over externals is by no means total, and yet is greater according to how well we can divide our attention. Animals have no such facility; it is a measure of being human to know how to divide our focus enough to determine between this and that – as a matter of choosing what has little urgent consequence and what is actually important now.

So the developed person can choose where to put their attention and shift its focus from what is no longer pressing to what now deserves our mind’s concentration – according to conscience, convenience or expediency.

It is because we have this ability that we come to realise the principles by which to discriminate between what we actually find of greater or lesser importance, and so make informed decisions that enact these higher values. In so doing, we better define who we are.

Also, as a result of this facility, we can express great versatility of action, always moving towards the most likely activity by which to approach an appropriate, currently important, goal.

There’s a need for care since, depending on how well we respond to what life throws up, our shifting attention could so easily be directed wastefully, becoming no more than an impotent, unthinking scattering of resources.

However, when properly understood, it allows for us to participate fully and powerfully in any number of interpenetrating realms of existence simultaneously. This is much more a true representation of the nature of reality as recorded within our identity, whose corresponding potential has a limitless reach and breadth going immeasurably beyond our best efforts of imagination.
