INTRODUCTION
The Circular Temple degree meanings were developed by astrologer John Sandbach. Like the very popular Sabian Symbols the degree meanings presented in John's Book "The Circular Temple" were initially created by intuitively channeling the information. In addition to the channeled material, John has developed a system for understanding patterns in degree meanings which he uses extensively in his consulting practice. He began working with degree meanings and sign segments in the early 1970's and continues to work intensively on them today. John's first book, "Dwadashamsas: Degree Analyses and Deeper Meanings," on the dwadasamsas (the 12-part divisions of each sign used in Indian astrology), was published in 1978. The study of degrees and variations in astrological meanings in a zodiac sign has been a major part of John's life work. We are fortunate to be able to present to you here the interpretations from "The Circular Temple" with this software. As you can see from the length of them, John has devoted a huge amount of time in developing degree meaning interpretations.
There are actually four separate sets of degree meanings, with a symbolic image for each one: the Omega Symbols (root of the degree), the Pleiadian Symbols (the degree's identity), the Chandra Symbols (how it interacts with the world around it), and the Azoth Symbols (its spiritual goal). Each of these degree meanings describes a different aspect of your personality. The combination of all four symbols gives a detailed picture of how the degree functions in your life. If you're interested in studying the theory of degree meanings, John's book "The Circular Temple" is available on kindle at www.amazon.com.
You will notice that each degree also has a "Seed Degree" and a "Fulfillment Degree." These are zodiacal degrees which have a specific mathematical relationship to the particular degree in question. If you have another planet at a Seed Degree or a Fulfillment Degree, or if another person has a planet at one of these degrees, then that planet acts as a source of inspiration and impetus (Seed Degree) or as a fulfillment of the goals of this degree (Fulfillment Degree).
It is important to synthesize the degree meaning to the planet or other astrological point that is at that degree. For example, the degree meaning for Venus relates to your sense of beauty, art, harmony, and romance, and will bring this energy to whatever degree it occupies. Always remember that the 6th degree of a sign, for example, extends from 5 deg 00 min to 5 deg 59 min 59 sec of the zodiac sign
Lastly, each degree has an "Omega Oracle" which is a prose poem expressing one facet of the degree's energy. The Oracle is meant to stimulate your imagination and to assist you in tuning in more deeply to the meanings and messages of the degree.
The Degree Angels given at the beginning of each degree come to us from the Kabbalah. More information about them can be found in the book "Birth Angels Book of Days" by Terah Cox, available at amazon.com.
Circular Temple Degree Meanings
Sun is 2-3 deg Capricorn
Degree Angel: NEMAMIAH (ne-MAM-mee-YAH) Listening to Your Soul, Discernment, Manifesting/Receptive
TITLE: THE QUEST FOR WHAT WILL WORK AND FOR KNOWING HOW AND WHY IT WILL WORK or SPONTANEOUS REJECTION OF IMPURITY
Omega Symbol: A reference book on poisons.
This degree is fascinated by the many manifestations of negativity, and looks continually for ways to counteract each different type. It is fascinated by the tremendous variety of disharmonies that exist in the world and all the multifarious problems they can create. The knowledge it accumulates can be used to help others in many different ways, but it has to beware of pessimism and cynicism that could potentially accumulate within its own self.
Pleiadian Symbol: A man drinks in the essence of a forgotten dream.
You have the ability to completely embrace what your inner self tells you. Sometimes you ignore these messages, or pass them by, but then later come back to them and experience a deep understanding of the subtler or hidden meaning of them and what they were trying to tell you.
You feel sometimes haunted by the impressions coming from your own subconscious, even when you may not be able to recall the actual image or picture associated with them. As you cultivate this by giving attention to these impressions you develop a finer and finer ability to access the treasures stored within you.
Chandra Symbol: A woman sniffing pepper and sneezing violently.
You react directly and immediately. You're instantly rejecting of anything that triggers discord in you. If you're willing to look deeply into yourself so as to come to an understanding about why you have the strong reactions you do, you will eventually be able to let go of them and hence clear your karma. It's important to remember that all poisons are simply a reflection of fears and other types of negativity inside yourself.
You also has a strong sense of what's wrong, and which things are toxic to you and to what extent. This can be very helpful so long as you then focus on healing yourself rather than becoming addicted to your problems.
Azoth Symbol: The answer to a question is murmured many hundreds of years after the question.
Patient waiting for answers to life's greatest questions, and the realization that sometimes these answers do not come because we're not ready for them, or sometimes they come only partially or slowly so that as we evolve we can progressively digest more and more of the answer as we embrace the fullness and completeness of it. This is a deree of suspended judgement, and the faithful maintenance of open-mindedness.
Seed Degree: Taurus - 4
A man talking in his sleep. (Omega Symbol). The subconscious, when allowed to express itself, spontaneously heals, clearing itself of all poisonous energies.
A linguist invents a perfect language. (Chandra Symbol). In seeking a vehicle to vividly and clearly express itself the soul finds a way to rid itself of all toxins, and anything that disturbs its integrity.
Fulfillment Degree: Sagittarius - 23
Strange tools no one knows how to use. (Omega Symbol). All seemingly negative things are eventually perceived as tools of learning, resulting in the challenge of finding out from them exactly what it is we need to learn.
A woman wearing many tiny bells. (Chandra Symbol). In rejecting irritants we find ourselves stimulated and clarified.
Omega Oracle
Indar Raseen's twenty volume compendium of poisons called "Toxicosmos" is the most extensive work of its kind, for nearly anything that one might think of can be found here. It reveals, for instance, that summer poisons snow, the sun is a poison for starlight, that water may cause the death of deserts, and that time is a poison (though illusionary) of eternity. Raseen fully comprehends the truth that everything poisons something, and that likewise all poisons are medicines when administered in the proper strength and with inspiration.
Moon is 12-13 deg Virgo
Degree Angel: LEUVIAH (LOO-vee-YAH) Dialing God, Expansive Intelligence/Fruition, Transforming/Receptive
TITLE: MASCULINE ENERGY MANIFESTING IN A SOFT, GENTLE WAY or ASSERTIVENESS SUBJECTED TO REFINING FORCES
Omega Symbol: A meteorite with the edges worn smooth.
You have a cosmic perspective that can help others to lift up out of their little limiting nightmares and karmic loops. You combines a coolness and softness with great power and unwillingness to compromise when the issue is important. You have come from afar to give people many things, in fact, whatever they are ready to receive. It is only the limits of your earthly personality that could ever get in the way of the power of this - so let those limits go.
Pleiadian Symbol: An angel of harmony comes to clear away confusion.
Giving in to and accepting the possibility for clarity actually catalyzes its manifestation. Discords melt and conflicts resolve in unexpected and/or unpredictable ways that come about through tuning into and resonating with a higher reality.
Chandra Symbol: A man with hair on his back.
On first looking at this pair of symbols one might think there is no obvious connection between them. But meteors are very yang, in that they are heavy and metal, and yet soft in that the atmosphere has burned their edges smooth. And likewise the man of the Chandra symbol is yang in that he is a male, and yet has the soft hair on his back, which is a yang part of the body, with the hair on it being yin, or feminine.
You have the ability to express hard-to-accept truths in a way that softens them. You do not want to be contentious, or to fight, but you will not give up your position when you think you are right. Your intense adherence to your own ideas will draw to you tests through which you can learn what you need to change or modify (activities, by the way, which don't come easily for you) and if you give in to what these tests are trying to teach you and allow the necessary inner transformations to occur, your connection to spirit will be strengthened.
Azoth Symbol: Many bridges connecting the two halves of a city.
A diversified and continually more powerful reweaving of all schisms. You have the ability to allow things around you to maintain their separateness while still creating channels through which they can be brought together and enrich each other.
Seed Degree: Leo - 30
A poetess wearing rings with large gemstones in them. (Omega Symbol). Sensing our connection with the great beyond, we feed our own energy system with those uplifting energies which will serve to connect us with the universe at large.
A woman sprinkling rose water in the four corners of a room. (Chandra Symbol). When we create an atmosphere and environment of love, the masculine force is softened and balanced, and hence becomes more life-supporting.
Fulfillment Degree: Libra - 14
A storm raging in Antarctica. (Omega Symbol). Learning to take on a vibration of softness and gentleness that is beyond the conflicts of this world, we are then able to make contact with those inner places of great depth and power.
A chariot pulled by four elephants. (Chandra Symbol). The masculine energy softening and becoming more gentle, we find in ourselves a wise patience that allows us to slowly and inevitably progress along our path.
Omega Oracle
Any fall creates wind, long falls generating fiery winds that polish away the harshness of sharp shatterings.
I was a meteorite, stopped by earth. Impact was a relief, for I'd had enough polishing. I'd raced toward touching something, anything, craving contact with what I knew not until I touched it. And now, even though I'm absorbed into this new world, I shall never forget my foreignness, having plunged into my self-made hole, yet feeling other, always other, a dark world unto myself buried in this vaster one.
The fiery winds have smoothed me and now I sleep. Miraculous, how the world has accepted me.
Mercury is 20-21 deg Sagittarius
Degree Angel: SEHALIAH (say-HA-lee-YAH) The Power of Prosperity, Motivation and Willfulness, Interacting/Experimental
TITLE: KNOWING INTUITIVELY HOW TO FIND VALUE AND MEANING, EITHER BY INVITING THEM IN, OR GOING TO SEEK THEM.
Omega Symbol: Deep in the jungle, travelers discover the ruins of an ancient city.
Within each person are hidden glories yet to be discovered, remembered and retrieved. This degree senses the presence of these, and is able - usually covertly - to subtly tune whoever they encounter into the inherent greatness within themselves. Even if happens only in the faintest of ways, a new, clearer perspective on life is experienced.
Pleiadian Symbol: A boy and his dog wearing miner's lamps exploring a cave.
You explore what's underneath everything and you like to do this instinctually rather than rationally or objectively. You want to get inside life to find what's hidden there, and you want to see it all for yourself rather than just being satisfied with what others say of it. You secretly and fearlessly commune with unseen realms, and as long as you stay in touch with your clear and guiding instincts you are protected all along the way.
Chandra Symbol: Toads singing at night.
There are energies which are calling to all of us, all the time. As we grow more sensitive and more ready, the volume of these calls is turned up, or rather, are attention becomes increasingly attuned to them, which causes them to seem to magnify.
Even when engulfed by darkness, uncertainty and alienation, our own kind is out there, calling to us, sending us messages of hope and encouragement, if only we can let ourselves hear it. To realize such things, progressively as we evolve is as miraculous as the discovery of the ancient ruins of the Omega Symbol.
Azoth Symbol: A holy man explaining the various meanings of the many names of God.
Realization of how the divine spirit takes on many forms and manifestations, and of how pure consciousness, although it is one, continually diversifies itself. Knowing that there are man paths to get where we are going.
Seed Degree: Sagittarius - 9
An invisible burden carried on the shoulders. (Omega Symbol). Knowing there is something we need to do, to realize, and/or to resolve, we are eventually guided to it.
A man with green skin. He is dressed in leaves. (Chandra Symbol). When we allow ourselves to relate to the whole of nature the energy we emanate naturally calls to others of like vibration.
Fulfillment Degree: Sagittarius - 22
A flamenco dancer. As he stamps his purple boots, small clouds of dust are raised. (Omega Symbol). When we reconnect with what we have lots we become rejuvenated and are inspired to express our passion to others.
Blackbirds flying out of a pie. (Chandra Symbol). To voice our deepest most primitive feelings releases the darkness within which makes way for the light.
Omega Oracle
The location of the ancient city of Zithona is still unknown to this day, even though it has been found many times. The problem is that each time it's found it then disappears and is later found someplace else. This is why Zithona is known as "The Floating City."
The only consistency observed in its location is that it seems to prefer jungles, for it is always seen in those vast tropical spaces that lay far to the south of Peth.
After careful study of this enigma, Irnad has stated that the city seems to select its travelers, and avoids those who it does not wish to encounter by disappearing and changing location. He feels that almost all of those adventurers who have been fortunate enough to see it were once its inhabitants in former lives, for they all say they feel a deep kinship with its strange architecture, its palaces, temples, baths and monuments. Or, he goes on to say, it may be that the ones who see it are actually having a future memory of it; that is, in some future lifetime they are destined to live there. In either case, Zithona is an elusive place that beckons secretly to certain people, and the ones she lures to herself inevitably become enthralled with her.
Venus is 6-7 deg Sagittarius
Degree Angel: LECABEL (LAY-ca-BEL) Finish what you start, Intellectual Talent, Interacting/Sensitive
TITLE: THE NEGATION OF OUTER SEEING TO ENHANCE INNER SEEING
Omega Symbol: A mirror covered with a shroud.
You have an instinct for looking beyond appearances into the deep core of things. You care not for how and what something appears to be, but have a burning desire to know what it really is. You have an ability here to remain uninfluenced by others and to maintain a deep personal integrity. We might title this degree "The Denial of Surface Appearances."
Pleiadian Symbol: A glowing fairy flies into the room of a sleeping maiden.
An innocent receptivity to magic and the finer forces of the universe, which subtly connects you to the vibrant energies of nature. This often happens beneath the level of conscious awareness, and so you sense many delicate workings of spirits without necessarily being directly aware of them.
Chandra Symbol: Rats with ruby eyes.
Ruby is the gem of the Sun, and so these rat eyes bring illumination to dark places, to seek out anything which will support the process of surviving. In the Omega Symbol no one or anything is allowed to see itself, whereas in the Chandra symbol the eyes of the rats have X-ray vision and can see what is deeply hidden.
There is nothing in the mirror except for the shroud, and then when the shroud is removed the light recreates everything outside the mirror inside the mirror. And so when we are intensely seeking something outside ourselves we must always remember that we are also and most importantly seeking it within ourselves, and when we find it in the inner, it will appear in the outer.
This degree is penetrating, sharp, and acutely observant.
Azoth Symbol: Books organized by one method and then reorganized by another.
Inventing new ways to structure the reality around you, and thereby getting more knowledge and understanding from the same body of information. The ability to see life through different filters and contexts which continually brings forth new ideas. You enjoy patterns are your open-mindedness allows you to continuall invent new ones.
Seed Degree: Gemini - 21
A healer breaks up adhesions beneath an old wound. (Omega Symbol). Finding and clearing out the stuck and stagnant places within reinforces our ability to stay with the here and now rather than getting lost in reflections and projections.
Wine casks retrieved from an ancient shipwreck. (Chandra Symbol). Drinking deep of the past's magic we are granted penetrating visions of hidden realms.
Fulfillment Degree: Libra - 21
The sea as still as a mirror. (Omega Symbol). When we are able to let go of illusions, the peace and clarity we attain to attunes us to exalted spiritual realities.
A magician with a live snake for a belt. (Chandra Symbol). Attuning ourselves to our own personal and living wisdom we find ourselves having penetrating insight that can see into the darkness and inspire us with the cleverness to survive and thrive.
Omega Oracle
The Princess Tarsad owns a mirror which she says is alive, and very shy. She therefore keeps it covered most often with a shroud. Sometimes it has been said by her friends then when allowed to look into it the mirror is always dim, even in the brightest light, and is so shadowy in its depths that they can barely see themselves. But, as the mirror becomes more acquainted and comfortable with a person it will tentatively brighten somewhat, as if reflecting back moonlight, and sometimes will shine forth brilliant flashes when surprised or experiencing sudden joy.
Having now been friends with it for a long time I find that when I come to visit Princess Tarsad and look into it it will fill with bright sunshine, and impart to my face a glow of health, as if it were wishing me well.
It is, though, a mirror of moods and sometimes seems to envelop everything in mist, as if confused, or will darken in jealousy if other famous mirrors are mentioned in its presence.
Mars is 21-22 deg Virgo
Degree Angel: SEHEIAH (say-HAY-ee-YAH) Soul Mat, Longevity, Releases body and mind from negative emotions, Interacting/Sensitive
TITLE: KNOWING THAT NOTHING IS EVER THE SAME, WHICH FREES THE SELF TO APPROACH LIFE WITH AN ETERNAL FRESHNESS AND OPENNESS.
Omega Symbol: A fruit whose seeds always produce a new and different type of fruit.
You are highly aware that nothing is ever the same, that, as Heraclitus says, one can't step into the same stream twice. This means that you bring into this reality a sense of utter freshness that is always and instantaneously renewed. How liberating this can be to people! All you need do is share yourself and your insights, and everyone is renewed.
Pleiadian Symbol: On a stone gate an insignia on which is found a gryphon, a snake, and an apple.
Knowledge, wisdom, and the power to use them in a grounded and defined manner. This is what provides the woman of the Chandra Symbol the self-confidence to communicate through her writing.
Chandra Symbol: A woman writing with the tip of her fingernail.
No tool such as a pen or a pencil stands between the self and the writing, meaning what is communicated is direct, as close to the self as possible. This degree is capable of great sincerity, and self expression that is vivid, pointed, and acute. There is a great ability here to make oneself heard, to make one's point. The only thing needed is to clear the self so that the point is undistorted by egotism or any other inner darkness.
Azoth Symbol: Bowls of nuts, fruits and grain offered to the Goddess.
A generous giving to the world of the fruits of one's labors. The remembrance of source, and a giving back to it to promote the flourishing of the abundance found in the Omega Symbol.
Seed Degree: Sagittarius - 18
A satyr chasing young maidens who are laughing and screaming. (Omega Symbol). When we give in to our own joy, we are forever surprised at the beauties and wonders that can grow out of it.
Rose petals scattered on a path. (Chandra Symbol). Allowing love to draw us forward in our journey, we discover a wealth of information and guidance coming from within.
Fulfillment Degree: Cancer - 15
A man in an air-conditioned space suit crossing the desert. (Omega symbol). When we are attentive to our needs and how they change, we are able to be impervious to those forces which attempt to slow us down from fulfilling our destiny.
A boarded-up doorway that leads to another realm. (Chandra Symbol). When we allow the messages inside us to come forth, we are always carried toward those inner regions which need exploration and redemption.
Omega Oracle
To enter into seeds he had to first make himself small, to return to the seed from which he grew, and then to become even smaller, so that he might enter the seed's world. It was a way of looking at what would grow out of different seeds, of assessing what might might serve his needs and hence be planted, and what might be left to other forces.
These particular seeds, though, were different. When he descended into one he found himself in a galaxy where myriads of new seeds, each one different, floated. As he gazed into this kaleidoscope of potential, he realized what he'd found: the fabled Seed of Seeds.
Jupiter is 16-17 deg Taurus
Degree Angel: Asaliah (a-SA-lee-YAH) Global Transformation, Contemplation, Manifesting/Sensitive
TITLE: STORED UP WEALTH
Omega Symbol: A book patiently waiting to spill forth its vast and profound knowledge.
You have accumulated much wisdom in past lives, and continue to do so in this one. There is such a wealth in you that others need, even though ones less perceptive may have no inkling of this. You desire to share, but may often have to wait for the right time and place to do so. The more you accept rather than doubt your worth by freeing yourself of questioning what you have and its value, the more clearly you will be able to pursue your own special path.
Pleiadian Symbol: Light and mirrors dancing with each other.
The joyous bouncing of reflections back and forth which generates a plethora of light and energy. This might create much confusion, but can be a marvelous antidote to anything stagnant, heavy, dull, or overly rigid. A tremendous ability to deflect energy and to keep things in a state of constant movement.
Chandra Symbol: A Pomegranate broken open.
This degree has an inability to hold anything back for long, and is always wanting to break open situations so they may be freed from their restrictions and allow in new possibilities. What is contained in the book of the Omega Symbol is here brought forth.
This degree has a massive fecundity and potential, but possibly suffers from the frustration of being unsure of what to do with all this largess. Another source of frustration could be that it finds others lacking in appreciation of the great value of what it brings forth from itself.
The greatest need here is to be what one is, to accept the self's abundance and seek inner guidance as to how to develop and use it, and also, at the same time, to place one's consciousness beyond any attachment to the reactions of others.
Azoth Symbol: An ancient culture is transporting gigantic stones.
Patient effort put forth for an exalted purpose. You seek out activities that have deep meaning which you can share with others, and are willing to go to any lengths you have to to carry out all work that you do with excellence and careful attention to all details. You're also able to induce people to work together when it is for a higher purpose.
Seed Degree: Libra - 14
A storm raging in Antarctica. (Omega Symbol). The conflicts of old and deeply held karmas eventually draw to themselves the exact knowledge needed to heal them.
A chariot pulled by four elephants. (Chandra Symbol). The slow steady traversing of the evolutionary path yields a surprising richness and fecundity.
Fulfillment Degree: Aquarius - 4
After a long journey the source of a sacred river is found. (Omega Symbol). The book's knowledge is eventually spilled, and becomes a river which we follow to its source.
Many fireflies at dusk. (Chandra Symbol). Each seed of knowledge is revealed as its own gentle little light, all the lights calling to each other across the gulf of night.
Omega Oracle
Waking in the night I heard a sigh, and though it was so faint as to be almost inaudible, I knew at once that it had come from a book which I had never read. The book was actually quite small, and seemed to have grown somewhat smaller over time, I suppose from the wisdom having desiccated somewhat.
Do not suppose that wisdom is ageless - for even though in one aspect it is, in our realm wisdom does, in fact age, and experiences over time a kind of settling, a giving in to gravity, which often produces a sound quite similar to a sigh.
Saturn is 0-1 deg Pisces
Degree Angel: VEULIAH (vay-OO-lee-AH) Defying Gravity, Prosperity, Manifesting/Experimental
TITLE: THE INTENSE PERSISTENCE OF THE SPIRITUAL SELF'S WILL TO MANIFEST or LIGHT AND BEAUTY THAT SHINES EVEN THROUGH THE RESTRICTIONS OF OLD, DEAD FORMS
Omega Symbol: At sunset, a petrified forest glows with iridescence.
This degree is aware of the multifarious forms through which knowledge manifests. It deeply senses the eternal realities that hide in passing forms. What is most difficult for it is to focus on any one thing, for in its world energies flow together and can seem to it so formless as to be inexpressible. The way out of this frustration is to embrace the all and move with the passing shimmerings of each moment.
Pleiadian Symbol: Hundreds of merchants of all sorts of exotic items in a crowded bazaar.
Realizing the tremendous spectrum of treasures that the world has to offer, and the desire to give and receive them. The dazzling variety of things in the world are as proliferant as the dandelions of the following Chandra Symbol. You know that nearly anything can be had, and you often have a knowing as well as where to obtain what you or anyone else is looking for. The question then beomes, what are we going to do with all this stuff? How are we going to use it all for our spiritual furtherance?
Chandra Symbol: A field of dandelions.
You have a joyful appreciation of the common and ordinary, and an understanding that all aspects of the shared reality of humans has come to be due to having survived and outlived so many other ideas and ways of being that have been cast aside or minimized over time. In other words, there is an instinct for comprehending how the mainstream of society represents the strongest and most persistent motivations of the race. To try to find and support what is most positive and spiritual in this is your goal. It is the Piscean sympathy shining forth most directly, spontaneously, and universally, like the sunshine of countless suns in a galaxy of dandelions.
Azoth Symbol: Gifts falling from heaven, some being caught in grateful hands, others disappearing just before they hit the ground.
The soul enraptured by the panoply of continually passing opportunities. Just as the petrified trees of the Omega Symbol capture the marvelous array of the light's colors, the hands receive the heavenly gifts of this symbol.
Seed Degree: Aries - 12
Before the end of a movie, a man leaves the theater. (Omega Symbol). Having let go of attachments to outcomes, the subtleties of knowledge are perceived.
An old woman hears the stars talking to her at night. (Chandra Symbol). Receiving the light of eternal wisdom the soul realizes its own vital fecundity.
Fulfillment Degree: Libra - 28
A blind piano tuner. (Omega Symbol). The shimmering subtleties of wisdom sensitize us to the process of attuning to universal harmony.
A single white swan swimming through gray mist. (Chandra Symbol). Attuned to our inherent power and joy we come into a poise that carries us through all uncertainties.
Omega Oracle
In the petrified forest of Amara many trees of stone still stand amidst the fallen logs. All, whether standing or fallen, having turned into opal.
Travelers, overwhelmed by the shifting colors of the place, have been known to hallucinate spectral flowers of every sort growing amidst the trees, and strange colored creatures of infinitely varied forms who play and dance amidst the stone trees and petrified logs.
They also say that the colors that envelop them seem at times to turn into sound - a faint cacophony at first, which, when listened to intently, turns into a complex music fraught with voices that echo in the ears for days after leaving the forest.
Those prone to confusion are advised to shun the forest, but many artists, musicians and writers seek out its precincts to feed their inspiration.
For Amara, according to the wise, exudes a subtle atmosphere which nourishes the imagination, generating all manner of visions.
Uranus is 14-15 deg Virgo
Degree Angel: NELCHAEL (NEL-ka-EL) Eradicate Plague, Ardent Desire to Learn, Transforming/Inspired
TITLE: TRUST IN THE SUPPORTIVE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE
Omega Symbol: A man wearing paper wings jumps off a cliff and soars through the sky.
You have your own ways of doing things, and those are the right ways for you, but it can sometimes be difficult for you to find and use your own ways, as others are often telling you that your methods won't work. Actually your methods are perfectly suited to you, and when coupled with your enthusiasm and self-confidence they will always carry you to your desired destination. The secret to success for you is to listen to yourself.
Pleiadian Symbol: A lace handkerchief suffused with lavender scent.
The ability to rise about negative atmospheres and breathe one's own air of refinement and beauty. Protection of oneself from toxic atmospheres, especially by focusing on that which is pure, cultured and uplifting.
Chandra Symbol: A man inherits a vast fortune.
Your problem is not prosperity - you have so much to work with. The problem is, what are you going to do with it. If you become intimidated by your own gifts you may hold them back, save them up for a rainy day which may never come. It is important that you use what you have, that you share your wealth of ideas and abilities with others, without allowing your questions about whether or not you're doing the right thing to stop you from experimenting. Remember: there is always something to learn from a failed investment.
Azoth Symbol: In a forest quartz crystals hanging from trees.
Clear receptivity to the messages of nature, which gives us the faith and lightness to soar. The ability to take what one finds around oneself and use it to enhance the positivity and power that is already there.
Seed Degree: Virgo - 24
A satyr sleeping standing up. Roots are growing from his hooves into the ground. (Omega Symbol) When we are deeply and harmoniously grounded in physical reality it gives us a secure basis for exploring higher realities.
A silver trident. (Chandra Symbol). The cleansing and clearing of our intuitive perception allows us to see the riches we already possess.
Fulfillment Degree: Sagittarius - 14
A man communicates in graceful sign language. (Omega Symbol). Reaching into higher realities we find things we desire to communicate, and, realizing that these go beyond words, we increasingly allow our every act and gesture to become the communication.
A terrarium filled with carnivorous plants. (Chandra Symbol). Realizing the wealth we possess, we come to realize that using it to support life requires sensitivity to needs and careful selectivity.
Omega Oracle
If the man is the size of a dragonfly. If the cliff is three inches high. If he becomes a citizen of the wind. If gravity could make an occasional exception. If a swarm of butterflies creates an updraft.
We watched his flight, and running to where he'd landed in a field, we saw that he was also made of paper, but turned to flesh as he awoke.
Neptune is 19-20 deg Scorpio
Degree Angel: MEBAHEL (May-ba-HEL) Farewell to Arms, Truth, Liberty, and Justice, Manifesting/Inspired
TITLE: THE COLLECTION AND PROTECTION OF KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM
Omega Symbol: A man who carries large sacks of books with him wherever he goes.
There is an accumulation of knowledge here, but can it be used? This degree needs to actualize its wisdom in the immediate world around it, rather than just passively holding what it knows. There is a tendency for the mind to become a barrier to growth and forward movement. The way out of this is to let go of what you think you know, and go spontaneously with where your instinct takes you.
Pleiadian Symbol: At the play's beginning a dark and empty stage.
The ability to create something out of nothing, or at least out of very little. Often times things which need to happen don't happen because there's no space for them to happen in, and knowing this you approach life with an open, inviting attitude which can make a space in which creative energies can interplay as they unfold.
Chandra Symbol: A serpent wrapped around an immense egg.
So much life and wisdom in the books of the Omega Symbol, and so much of the same in the immense egg of the Chandra Symbol. And both the man of the one and the serpent of the other feel as if they have to protect this life and wisdom. Of course wisdom and truth can never be destroyed, but the forms in which they manifest can be - this is what is being protected. We might call this degree "The Guardian of Truth." Carrying all those books is a burden, but at the right place and the right time this person will be prepared for he will be able to reach in his sacks and pull out what is needed. This is what makes all this inconvenience worth it. And when the egg is ready to hatch, the serpent will then be able to relax his coils and allow the new life to unfold and take wing.
This degree may often do things which seem impractical, or unnecessary, but it senses something others don't sense, and need to follow these inklings and meet their requirements. Also it needs to develop the ability to go ahead and use what it has, even when it seems there isn't much outer support for doing so.
Azoth Symbol: The diamond shield of a mythical king of old.
Potent defense against anything which might attempt to defeat your purpose. You have the power to muster a nearly unassailable certainty, and such pure self-assurance allows you to proceed through the world with great audacity. As long as you place this shield of yours in the service of high-minded and spiritual endeavors you will find that you can always depend on it.
Seed Degree: Scorpio - 26
A witch dressed in black. Her clothes are turning white. (Omega Symbol). Moving toward the light in a grounded way that always keeps physical realities and practicalities in mind, we find ourselves tremendously prepared to help others because of the wealth of information which is ours.
A she-wolf. Her udders full of milk. (Chandra symbol). Contacting an inner primal urge to nurture others we come to realize the profound possibilities we hold within and feel a need to make sure they too are nurtured and protected.
Fulfillment Degree: Taurus - 20
A man performing a complicated weaving pattern from memory. (Omega Symbol). Feeding our mind with so much information we finally assimilate from it what we most need, and then use that to intuitively engage in the act of creation.
A fork in the road with a blank signpost. (Chandra Symbol). When we are deeply in tune with the wisdom of the life force we realize that it creates its own path rather than having to follow any pre-determined ones.
Omega Oracle
Salurius Exal, professor, orator and peripatetic lecturer could go nowhere without his extensive library, so invented a method of shrinking books, several large sacks of them hauled in a cart by his donkey, in all comprising several thousand texts. Each book, now only the size of a walnut, had print so fine that it could be read only by the Idani, a race of elves known for their acute vision.
One of these beings, a certain lad named Farquar, accompanied him on his journeys wherever he went and was always ready to search for needed references of quotes, and read to Salurius or his audiences in a high-pitched and piping though nevertheless melodious and perfectly clear voice.

Degree Angel: MELAHEL (MAY-la-HEL) Sharing the Flame, Healing Capacity, Manifesting/Sensitive
TITLE: PROFOUND ABILITY TO OVERCOME LIMITATION or TRANSCENDING OF MENTAL BOUNDARIES
Omega Symbol: A scientist discovers the secret of time travel.
Your mind is freed from the rigid limits imposed by process, so that ultimately you're able to go back and change anything. You can see beyond the accepted and ordinary and by doing so gain a very broad perspective on existence. People, though, can be quite attached to limits, because boundaries make them feel safe. So you need to be careful about when, where and how you share what you know - so that it does the most good. Your power lies in being able to find alternate pathways to the solution of any problem.
Pleiadian Symbol: Lava, as it flows into the sea, is creating new land.
The spontaneous solidifying of creative impulses into tangible manifestations. The power to shift that which is full of energy but inconstant and unpredictable toward something solid and dependable that can be used in the physical world. The forging of new territory.
Chandra Symbol: An old bald woman talking to her dog.
The woman's baldness signifies a mind freed from rational thought. She communicates with her dog through pure instinct, and receive back the dog's messages. In the past, when a little girl, she had the instinctive nature of the dog, which became later overlaid with intellect and objectivity, which has now faded away, returning her to her former state and allowing her to recontact her own animal nature directly. This is, in essence a sort of time travel - returning to the past in the future.
This degree is about reconnecting with the ground of one's being, and communing with one's source. Doing so creates a clearer perception of the way one has developed and the course that's been taken. It is a way of both assessing and grounding one's overall evolution.
Unfortunately the insights of this degree may be denigrated, scoffed at, or trivialized by others and this can result in a lack of trust in the value of one's own instincts. A naked simplicity of thought may in the end come to be realized as great profundity.
Azoth Symbol: In the far north, sailors come to an uninhabited island that is strangely warm.
Even in the midst of hostile or unsupportive circumstances one finds and shares with others places that are inviting and nurturing. Through doing this one eases the hardships of the spiritual journeys of both oneself and others. A gift for coming upon the unexpected which happens because of one's ability to be openminded.
Seed Degree: Libra - 18
Waking in the night, a man feels an earthquake. (Omega Symbol). A deep intuitive awareness of the subtle shifts going on in the collective reality allows one to perceive the bigger patterns at work in life, and the ways they might be changed for the better.
A woman carefully counting the beans in a jar. (Chandra Symbol). Knowing that those facts which may seem unimportant to others could be meaningful to the self, we set up a rapport with those beings and energies with which we feel a heart connection.
Fulfillment Degree: Aquarius - 14
During the rain, a bird is heard singing. (Omega Symbol). Understanding more and more deeply the workings of process as it unfolds through our evolution, we sense the joy of growth even in the midst of seeming sorrows.
In a pyramid a dark passageway filled with scorpions. (Chandra Symbol). Engaging in open-minded rapport with our animal self, we are drawn to those places within whose power needs to be integrated into our wholeness.
Omega Oracle
It is not a machine that one needs so as to move at will through time, but only a realization. When we came here we promised to obey certain rules, one of them being that we would all move through time at the same time together - in a polite and orderly fashion. To break such a promise is well nigh impossible for most, for it would inevitably give rise to unendurable horror and guilt, that is, if one were to do it before moving through the doors of death first.
Actually, all this observation of protocol and strictness in adhering to rules is unnecessary, if one can simply do it in a silent, graceful manner, and preferably rather sharply, like a needle moving through a tapestry.
Ascendant is 24-25 deg Leo
Degree Angel: VEHUIAH (vay-HOO-ee-YAH) Time Travel, Will and New Beginnings, Interacting/Inspired
TITLE: RESOURCEFULNESS IN FINDING WAYS TO COPE WITH THE SURROUNDING REALITY or TRANSCENDENT SELF-ASSURANCE or SELF-MODIFICATION AS THE NEED ARISES.
Omega Symbol: A woman incessantly eating pills.
You seek fulfillment, and at best you have an acute instinct for being able to read exactly your ever-changing needs, as well as the needs of others, together with the wherewithal to satisfy them. At worst you continually feel that something is lacking, but can't identify what it really is. This can cause you to keep trying different things in frustrating attempts to achieve satisfaction. At best you take in the essence of things in a concentrated, potent and nourishing form.
Pleiadian Symbol: The tinkling of camel bells as a caravan crosses the desert.
Joy even in the midst of difficult circumstances. The continual awareness of movement forward. Persistence that continues steadily even through the most bleak and unsupportive of circumstances. You have the ability to encourage others in an almost hidden way that is so steady it's wellnigh mesmerizing.
Chandra Symbol: A circle of neat houses, each one identical.
The extreme of conformity here produces an anonymity that becomes so intense it actually frees the self to be its own special and unique entity. The houses may be identical and neat, but each one who lives there is special and never exactly like another, and so the regimented setting actually highlights individuality. A highly mysterious and ironic degree.
Azoth Symbol: While people sleep a blizzard blankets the forest.
Patient acceptance of whatever occurs. A peaceful acknowledging of times and circumstances that are not supportive to the taking of action, and the ability to use them to rejuvenate the self. The ability to create an aura of profound coziness.
Seed Degree: Capricorn -23
While their bodies sleep, a group of people meet on the astral plane. (Omega Symbol). Sensing the spirit's need to continually reach out to whatever will further its evolution, we continually try to take in whatever might nourish us and bring balance to our being.
An old priest using oil to anoint a carved stone lingam. (Chandra Symbol). Honoring, encouraging and supporting the creative ideal we come to realize that everything is ultimately the same, and that this is leading us toward union with the eternal.
Fulfillment Degree: Aries - 13
A breeze carries a soap bubble thousands of miles. (Omega Symbol). Always trying to compensate for what we feel is missing we come to the awareness that our power ultimately lies beyond the physical plane, and that we have nothing to fear from the world of phenomena.
The wind blows white sheets hung on a line to dry. (Chandra Symbol). Unifying with others and affirming our sameness becomes a way of overcoming the conflict of differences, and hence clearing, freeing and rejuvenating.
Omega Oracle
She used to read the labels on bottles, and would always be continually learning the uses and side effects of all the pills she took, but since there were so many to be always taking, she realized she had no time for such education and decided, by a leap of faith, on a strictly intuitive approach.
Eventually the pills began speaking to her, and telling her which of them wished to be gobbled, and how many as well. Luckily her pill chest turned into a cornucopia, where all sorts of supplements, sedatives, stimulants, vitamins, minerals, herbs, mood elevators, anti-depressants, suppressants, inhibitors, relaxants, barbituates and even all the latest and newest drugs miraculously appeared, so she didn't have to waste precious time taking trips to pharmacies, forging prescriptions, or spending huge sums of money.
All in all she felt quite fine. Of course she did! For her pills loved her and were always there when she needed them.
MC is 20-21 deg Taurus
Degree Angel: Hahasiah (he-HA-see-Yah) No Guilt, Universal Medicine, Interacting/Experimental
TITLE: AFFIRMATION OF WEALTH
Omega Symbol: Bending over and lowering her palms, a woman projects colors into the Earth.
Although you may not be conscious of it, your energy is healing and soothing. You take a gentle approach to all that you do, and this imbues your actions with a positive and uplifting note. You don't see any task as too difficult or too large, but are always willing to take on anything, and proceed as best you can.
Pleiadian Symbol: A hand on a page is feeling the deeper meaning of the words.
The ability to sense subtler implications at work beneath all surfaces. Instinctive sensual connecting with the truth hidden in all forms of communication.
Chandra Symbol: A statue of Hermes decked with brightly colored garlands.
There's more than just a positive attitude here - a natural, automatic and often subconscious attunement to healing forces pervades this degree, and joy is the secret elixir, the panacea, joy that is communicated to others, not just through words, but through any and all mediums at hand. This all comes forth of its own accord when this degree allows itself to be spontaneous and puts aside all worry or concern over whether or not it is right, or has enough authority to express its ideas.
Azoth Symbol: Strong winds knowing exactly where the sailors need to go.
Instinctive alignment to higher and hidden purposes. An unbridled and forceful directing of situations toward the needed goal. When you get your ego out of the way you're able to urge situations onward toward wherever the greatest benefit is to be found by all.
Seed Degree: Sagittarius - 2
Waking at night, a man sees a firefly in the darkness of his bedroom. (Omega Symbol). Entering a deep inner stillness and peace we sense the subtle and gentle spirits of nature, and allow them to inspire us to heal and re-energize the earth.
Many iris blooming in a wide variety of colors. (Chandra Symbol). Tapping into the wide array of nature's creative energies we allow our mind to become immersed in the joy of being.
Fulfillment Degree: Gemini - 5
Two people calling to each other across a wide, deep canyon. (Omega Symbol). Acknowledging all the gifts which life gives us eventually heals all connections between ourselves and others.
An immense tortoise with jewels inlaid in its back. (Chandra Symbol). The fleeting beauties life offers us are taken in and distilled as enduring treasures we carry with us through our spiritual journey.
Omega Oracle
They wondered where the colors came from, the ones that spilled from her hands. They thought maybe the stars, and wondered, did everyone have these colors? And if so, how long had we all been collecting them?
The woman watches the colors entering the earth, feels them leak from her like blood, but rather - than heavy and thick a light and airy blood of so many beautiful colors. It felt good to lose this blood, for it created an emptiness in her whose yearning drew in more starlight.
