I thought it would be good to use the Orphalese software to record my daily sabian symbol readings and so set about looking for appropriate images to convey the meaning of each card.

Attached is what I came up with for this symbol.

Dear Sweet Irish Angel,

hi, and welcome to the Sabian Symbols corner of ATF.

Were you wanting to know more about the Sabian Symbols in general, or this symbol (Aquarius 17) specifically?

Here is a link to Lynda Hill's website where she explains what the Sabian Symbols are, their history, and their use as an Oracle.

Lynda is also an ATF member and sometimes posts throughout the Sabian threads.

That's probably a great starting point. Have a read and then be sure and post any questions you may have. There are many Symbolers here that would love to introduce and guide you through the wonderful world of Sabian.

By the way, I love all of those hearts and your beautiful graphic in your signature. You must be a very talented person.

with love

Wow! Sweet Irish Angel, purple_scorp is right in saying you have a lovely signature!!!! It's so beautiful, flowing and moving!

I thought these links might help you in some way...

Also, if you do a search, you'll find a wealth of information and perhaps exactly what you're looking for.

Everyone sees and intuits the symbols differently, which adds not only more depth to the sabian symbols themselves but helps each of us to gain more clarity.

Looking at this symbol, hmmm, a watchdog standing guard, the words that come to mind are 'a rebel, an idealist, someone steadfast.....watchful observation'...the slightest sound the dog would suddenly jumps to its feet, glaring about fiercely....its hair rising on the back of its neck, rumbling in its chest! Ohh look at those sharp teeth...Yikes!!

A stranger encountering such an animal would need its owner to hold it back....otherwise the dog may think them an enemy and go straight for their throat. Most guard dogs possess a heightened emotional sensitivity....they can be high strung, nervous and very emotional.

Could this be someone with an overactive nature? Someone of a spirited nature or who hides and masks a deeper vulnerability? Perhaps others look to this person, this watchdog as their leader, protector (I get a sense of power and control here)? It could indicate someone with a powerful driving force, perhaps rebellious but a possessor of a lot of courage. Single-minded and focussed!

There's definitely so much knowledge in one symbol......it will be interesting to read what others see!!
