They ALL make sense to me. I actually used the Sabians to rectify my chart. Some of the symbols I relate to the most:

Asc - A Woman Entering A Convent
IC - White Dove Flying Over Troubled Waters
MC - Hunters Shooting Wild Ducks
12th house cusp: Three Rose Windows In A Gothic Church, One Damaged By War

However on a more optimistic side..

ASC - A fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence.
DSC - A hand, which is held out receptively, is remarkable for the suggestion of character in its prominent thumb.
Sun - Two fairies (nature spirits) dancing on a moonlit night.
Moon - A fine lace ornamental handkerchief.

but, for kicks - how about mixing up symbols?

Carelli:

Moon - deg - 23 Tau
Symbol: The Moon in its first quarter. The thin, bright crescent, encompassing the planet’s lower rim, seems to hold the dimly looming orb as an earthly offer to Heaven.

--------------
Charubel:

MC - deg - 3 Gem
Symbol: A profile, with only one eye in view.

---------------
La Volasfera:

aVtx - deg - 5 Leo
Symbol: Two crossed swords above a gauntlet, forming an escutcheon.

---------------
Kozminksy:

NN - deg - 15 Gem
Symbol: A sword lying shattered before a cross of stone.

ASC - deg - 7 Vir
Symbol: A man, holding a pen in his right hand and a sword in his left, standing at the entrance to a palace.

----------------
Sabian:

IC - deg - 3 Sag
Symbol: A Little Child Learning To Walk With The Encouragement Of His Parents

----------------
Jeanne Duzea:

SN - deg (cnj Venus) - 15 Sag
Symbol: A man drives an empty chariot pulled by three horses out of a cavern and heads towards a fertile valley where labourers work near a castle.

----------------------
Matthews:

Vtx - deg - 5 Aqua
Symbol: Apperception

-----------------------
Goldsmith:

DSC - deg - 7 Psc
Symbol: A minister invites a dirty urchin into his church for a bite to eat. The boy stares in wonder at the opulent surroundings and at the beautiful woman singing a hymn.

~ I prefer the symbol interpretation to be based on stars (constellation/planet-blending), as they were in many of the oldest texts. I don't always "get" or agree with the message or imagery used by the "clairvoyant"-type astrologers... though it does seem like the majority do pull from (at least) La Volasfera for inspiration perhaps, so there is usually a hint of that star (planet blending) energy in degree interpretations even in the most modern attempts! It just seems simpler to look at the stars/constellations associated with that or those degrees, or even numeric vibration, rather than using obscure riddles to convey a meaning for the natal.

Inspiration: More than any other time, the little things find their place against the grand imposing precipitous cliffs of existence and beyond.

Friendly without; unfathomable within: a pleasant easy manner of appreciation covers the surface like smiling waters cover the deep dark sea.

The day streams two levels at once. One could be sorting and caring for material assets for example, but also with an eye out for far greater more important things, such as what all this 'stuff' means in the context of living and dying.

When the small separates from the great, a deep sense of power emerges. Fascination with the unknown propels deeper curiosity.

Similarly, I find meaning in my other sabians:
MC URING A SILENT HOUR, A MAN RECEIVES A NEW INSPIRATION WHICH MAY CHANGE HIS LIFE.

DC : DEEP-SEA DIVERS.

IC : CHILDREN PLAY ON A SWING HANGING FROM THE BRANCHES OF A HUGE OAK TREE.

Moon : A PARROT REPEATS THE CONVERSATION HE HAS OVERHEARD.

Vertex : THREE ROSE WINDOWS IN A GOTHIC CHURCH, ONE DAMAGED BY WAR.

They make perfect sense to me. I'm very playful and innocent and pure

Example, my MC

Sabian -

25-26 deg Capricorn

A Nature Sprit Dancing In The Iridescent Mist Of A Waterfall

Janduz -

Boats sail on a glassy sea. On the shore, a path leads to a pine tree forest." (Janduz version)
Proud, tranquil, and generous character. One has a keen interest in seas and rainforests, and it is most likely that one achieves success in water sports and any occupation dealing with water or tropical plantations such as rubber, coffee, sugar cane, etc.

----

If all my plans go accordingly I'll be spending the majority of my career sailing in the military. Military structure on this Capricorn Janduz degree makes perfect sense.

The Janduz does a better job all around for me.

Ascendant (24-25 deg Taurus)
Sabian: A Vast Public Park
Janduz: "A growling lion crawls at the feet of a domineering man who stands upright with both hands on a big club."

IC (9-10 deg Leo):
Sabian: Early Morning Dew Sparkles As Sunlight Floods The Field
Janduz: "A skeleton hangs at the branch of a storm-stricken oak."

DC (24-25 deg Scorpio):
Sabian: An X-Ray Photograph
Janduz: "A man swims in rough seas."

MC (9-10 deg Aquarius):
Sabian: A Man Who Had For A Time Become The Embodiment Of A Popular Ideal Is Made To Realize That As A Person He Is Not This Ideal
Janduz: "A man walks normally although his head and one of his hands seem separated from his body."

Vertex (24-25 deg Libra):
Sabian: The Sight Of An Autumn Leaf Brings To A Pilgrim The Sudden Revelation Of The Mystery Of Life And Death
Janduz: "The sun shines bright on a flowery promontory where a peacock spreads its tail."

Part of Fortune (15-16 deg Pisces):
Sabian: In The Quiet Of His Study A Creative Individual Experiences A Flow Of Inspiration
Janduz: "Sheltered under a big rock, a tiger stands guard over its cubs."

A Hidden Choir Is Singing During A Religious Service

the same message

PHASE 290 (CAPRICORN 20°): A HIDDEN CHOIR IS SINGING DURING A RELIGIOUS SERVICE.

KEYNOTE: The fulfillment of the individual's creative function through his participation in a group performance consecrated to a transcendent realization of unity.

In great cathedrals and other religious edifices the choir is normally hidden behind the altar or above the nave. It symbolizes thus more perfectly the supernal harmony of "heaven" — or the music of the spheres. The ideal of social participation is exalted to its highest manifestation, for the choir also represents the multifaceted and polyphonic unity of the community in its transcendent state of perfect harmony. Within this harmony the individual who has overcome his egocentric separativeness and developed his higher consciousness finds fulfillment in super-personal togetherness.

This is the fifth and last symbol of this fifty-eighth sequence. It presents us with the purest form of group-harmony, the most basic yet most difficult fulfillment of the social state. At the level of the individual person this "hidden choir" would refer to the polyphonic integration of all faculties in their most spiritual manifestations: the ideal of PLENITUDE of being.

MC/IC

16-17 deg Scorpio

A Woman, Fecundated By Her Own Spirit, Is "Great With Child"
the same message (Yod, metamorphosis)

IC
This is a tougher one. But it;s my home, a quest, and I'm not alone on this quest I think it relates to soul groups and elective affinities (so Virgo).

PHASE 47 (TAURUS 17°): A SYMBOLICAL BATTLE BETWEEN "SWORDS" AND "TORCHES."

KEYNOTE: Refusing to depend upon the past, the seeker turns warrior, fighting anew the eternal "Great War. "

When Gautama, having sought in vain for the answers to his questions among the teachers of tradition, sat under the Bodhi Tree, he had to fight his own battle in his own way, even though it is an eternal fight. The spiritual light within the greater Soul must struggle against the ego-will that only knows how to use the powers of this material and intellectual world. There is no possibility of escape; it is the energy that arises out of the present moment — the inescapable NOW — that the daring individual has to use in the struggle.

This second stage symbol suggests that salvation is attained through the emergent individual's readiness to face all issues as if there were only two opposed sides. So teaches the Bhagavad-Gita. This is the dharma of this stage of human evolution: a stage of POLARIZATION OF VALUES.

Sabians always resonate with me, in my charts and others'.
