The Sabian Symbols

About this book

The Sabian symbols are the unique set of symbolic vignettes, or descriptive images, which were obtained by Dr. Marc Edmund Jones from an ancient Mesopotamian source in 1925 for each of the 360 astrological degrees of the zodiac. This groundbreaking and user-friendly book, illustrated for the first time anywhere with the original hand-pencilled notes of Dr. Jones, is the culmination of over 25 years of thee author's saturation in his philosophy and work. It is by far the most comprehensive interpretation of the Sabian symbol images to date. In addition to the original descriptive images and keywords, this volume contains expanded commentaries, and chapters containing a variety of innovative techniques for using the Sabian symbols. Each of the symbols also includes a theme word or phrase, a special section for practical "Daily Guidance," and a virtual treasure chest of additional keywords to help the reader easily and clearly understand the meaning of each symbol.
