(my Sun Sabian Symbol -- my sun is at 26'taurus - but you round it up one - *read below)
(Taurus 27 deg): "An old Indian woman selling the artifacts of her tribe to passers-by."

"The astrologically based Sabian Symbols were created by astrologer Marc Edmund Jones and clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler back in the mid 1920s. In the Sabian Symbols, each of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac has its very own word picture symbol. The Sabian Symbols were (and are) "word pictures,." having no visual representations."

If you are an astrologer, there is an almost limitless use of the Sabian Symbols in every aspect of astrological enquiry. The symbols add a fresh and vital human or inner depth to current knowledge and interpretation. Natal, mundane, vocational, transits, - everything.

***It is very important to note that the degree from the chart is taken up to the next whole degree. For example, 0.12' of Aries is in the first degree and the corresponding Sabian will be Aries 1; 12.59' of Libra will be the Sabian, Libra 13. This is because the zodiac starts at 0' and the Sabian Symbols start at 1, therefore the first degree is any part of 0 degree and the 13th degree is any part of 12 degrees. etc. http://www.zodiacal.com/articles/sabian.htm

So, I look at my Sun only?

Phase 85 (Gemini 25 deg): "A gardener trimming large palm trees."
Keynote: Bringing under control nature's power of expansion.

My only comment: What the...???

I assume you can do this with other signs in your chart, and not just your Sun sign?

My ASC would be:

Phase 166 (Virgo 16 deg): "In the zoo, children are brought face to face with an orang-utang."
Keynote: A direct confrontation with the "wild" power of primordial nature within oneself.

I like that one much better - it fits me much, much more! LOL

And my moon:

Phase 351 (Pisces 21 deg): "Under the watchful and kind eye of a Chinese servant, a girl fondles a little white lamb."
Keynote: Growth in consciousness in its earliest tactile awareness of the wonders of unsophisticated living.

OK. Whatever. I suppose it's cool if it applies to psychic abilities (I'm highly clairsentient)

My Mercury:

Phase 78 (Gemini 18 deg): "Two Chinese men converse in their own native tongue in an American city."
Keynote: The need for the mind to retain its independence from its physical environment in order to concentrate on its special problems.

I really dig that!

My Venus:

Phase 65 (Gemini 5 deg): "A revolutionary magazine asking for action."
Keynote: The explosive tendency of repressed feelings and root emotions.

Yeah, ok, I admit that fits....

And my Mars:

Phase 319 (Aquarius 19 deg): "A forest fire is being subdued by the use of water, chemicals and sheer muscular energy."
Keynote: The skill and courage necessary to bring under control the destructive potential of carelessness of karmic "visitations".

Cewl.

And yes, you look at every planet. And your Sun would be 10'Libra
