Page 14 of 14
Apart from the Sabian Symbols presented, the book has another thirteen chapters which mainly present the basic concepts in astrology and spirituality in the author's view, which I don't consider to be relevant to astrology, so I won't present those chapters in this review.
MY EVALUATION: 7,2
Conclusion. There is a debate between astrologers about the Sabian Symbols, some sustain that are not working, some believe that are the result of a great state of spiritual inspiration and are perfect. It is difficult to appreciate who's right. I think that, theoretically, every degree of the zodiac, which represent a specific kind of energy, can be represented by an image. The image can describe the type of energy represented by the degree with a certain kind of accuracy. We can have images which represent the degree very well, and images which are not very well suited to the symbolism of the degree. In my personal experience with the Sabian Symbols I found certain degrees to work very well and other degrees to be less representative. Probably every astrologer will judge the Sabian Symbols after working with them. Anyway, if the Sabian Symbols have acquired such a great recognition there must be more that a bunch of images invented by a psychic. There is no smoke without fire, no? My evaluation is 7,2.
