Hi tink,
I like the way that you interpret these symbols...maybe I should do away with the book for a while and just brainstorm everything that comes into my heart.
As I said in another thread, I have four planets in Scorp. My natal chart is very-heavily water-based. So, I feel a deep connection to water, but not one that makes me want to plunge into a pool, or jump into the ocean. But to sit quietly on the beach and watch the waves crash the shoreline, or to lazily peer into a still lake, or to catch the energy of a fantastic waterfall, or to wade through the coolness of a river, or to hear the trickle of a water fountain........brings me peace.
And so, water is about our emotions but water has many faces. It can be tumultuous like a raging sea, or serene like a pretty pond. We are made up of (what is it?) about 90% water. So, if water can change its own form, then we too are capable of such change.
I had forgotten about the different styles of race. You are correct when you say that sometimes, we might be racing just for a bit of fun. It doesn't always have to be a dog-eat-dog competition.
The subject of my question is a fun person, but also a deep and analytical thinker (just like me). We both question life and our place in it, and strive towards making ourselves and our lives better. When I read the book interpretations, the first thoughts that came were about mind games and trying to out-analyse each other.
In my heart, I believe that this person would be extremely supportive and nurturing and would probably share and encourage me to work towards not only my own goals, but joint goals too.
Interestingly, I pulled another two symbols, to check the validity of this one. The next symbol was a rabbi reinterpreting text to teach new ways from old scripts. And the last, was about a bird being trapped in a cage.
He is like the rabbi, trying to help people back onto their path. Coming up with new ways to explain old meanings.
And perhaps the last symbol was more about my current situation - and that he was a means to freeing me from the cage. Who knows???? It's all in the way you interpret, right?
But then, we probably shouldn't discuss those two extra symbols in here....lol! I feel like we're playing follow the leader and I'm leading you all around the sabian section......
with love
