Symbol: A RETIRED SEA CAPTAIN WATCHES SHIPS ENTERING AND LEAVING THE HARBOR.

It seems on 18/8/6 I asked the Sabian a lot of different questions but this card was pulled in relation to no question - so just as a daily card. It fitted perfectly with my situation. I am having a lot of problems letting go of a relationship.

On the surface, the card is about a sea captain who is very experienced and has weathered a lot of dangerous situations. I feel like the sea captain who is sitting back now in retirement, but also hoping he will be asked to take the ship out again. I still have the desire, despite the track record.

Lyn Birkbeck's book actually gave a few interesting things to watch out.....like premature withdrawal from what still requires your input. And, I'd been following advice which I thought was objective, but now know different. So, what to believe?

I liked this proverb/quote: "A ship in the harbour is safe but that is not what ships are built for."

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.
