Indigo and Crystal Children

What is the deeper meaning of the afterbirth metaphor we are missing?

SCORPIO 23
A RABBIT METAMORPHOSED INTO A FAIRY (NATURE SPIRIT)

You may find yourself having a transformative realisation that will take your focus away from the baser animal instincts to a more spiritual perception. Coming to terms with one's vital energies can free you up to find a higher state of being. An ascenscion in consciousness is happening - enjoy the ride!.

Revelation of hidden talents. Moving into a whole new level of existence and being.

The Caution: Being dissatisfied with transformation as not economically useful. Feeling ineffective or impotent, having one's sexual power taken away. Feeling 'neutered'.

What symbol is most related to the Indigo Children?

SCORPIO 3
NEIGHBORS HELP IN A HOUSE-RAISING PARTY IN A SMALL VILLAGE

Great things can be achieved if everyone works and pulls together. It is by acting as a community, rather than as separate individuals, that difficult projects can be undertaken and completed. Sharing experiences can build worthwhile community values.

Cooperation. Parties. Having to consider the needs of lots of people. Dormitories. Building bigger and better things.

The Caution: Taking advantage of group generosity OR refusing to cooperate in group endeavors.

What symbol is most related to the incoming Crystal Children?

SCORPIO 15

CHILDREN PLAYING AROUND FIVE MOUNDS OF SAND

You may feel that you have the potential for greater things, but don't yet understand what they are to be. Development takes time and it is the first experiences of 'playing' with latent talent that leads to greater knowledge. You will be able to fulfil your potential, but you must start at the beginning. Joining together with like minded friends will help a great deal as everyone brings their own creative talents to the project at hand.

Creative integration of new ideas. Interreacting with others. Playing hide and go seek.

The Caution: Being too serious to see life's light-hearted side. Not knowing how to play. Not committing to anything seriously.

Please describe the nature of the astrological transit that is most associated with the Indigos.

CANCER 24
A WOMAN AND TWO MEN (OR A MAN AND TWO WOMEN) CAST AWAY ON A SMALL ISLAND

This can also be read as "A Man and Two Women". The people shown here seem to be locked into some situation, environment or relationship. This can often, but not always, be about relationship triangles. You may find it is difficult to choose what you want as others may have something different to say. Your wants seem to vacillate from one extreme to the other. Perhaps there is a need to get away from those trying to confuse you with conflicting views, although this may be impossible.

Feelings of being fenced in, too little room to move. Lack of privacy. Affairs. Isolation.

The Caution: Not seeing the whole picture. Fighting over `territory'. Having too many people to consider. The specter of "someone else".

Please describe the nature of the transit most associated with the Crystal Children.

CANCER 27
A VIOLENT STORM IN A RESIDENTIAL CANYON FILLED WITH VALUABLE HOMES

You may find yourself much deeper in a situation than you had planned, but now you are restrained by the walls about you. Strong emotions or events may be unleashed. There may be no escape from the turbulence that is around, but things will settle down and peace will reign once more. The best thing to do is wait it out and protect yourself the best you can.

Arguments and emotional confrontations as a result of the `pressure cooker' environments in modern-day living. Psychic energy being unleashed on the community or the environment.

The Caution: Wrongly believing that you are in control of an uncontrollable situation OR enjoyment of emotional storms and turmoil.

What was the event that corresponded with the first incarnation of the Crystals?

(Note: I was sort of thinking Indigos but accidentally said Crystals...)

AQUARIUS 19
A FOREST FIRE FINALLY QUENCHED

Enthusiastic drive and zeal can sometimes set off an uncontrollable and destructive chain of events. You may find that you have been caught up in such a situation, emotional or physical. There has been no choice but to fight for control and minimize the destruction. Any efforts will be, at last, successful. You are likely to come out of an experience with a new sense of commitment or a better understanding of the consequences of your actions.

Exuberant feelings that come after struggles. Running out of fuel. Calming down.

The Caution: Giving up too soon and losing it all. Self defeating delight in drama.

What was the event that corresponded with the first incarnation of the Indigos?

GEMINI 13
WORLD FAMOUS PIANIST GIVING A CONCERT PERFORMANCE

In the situation facing you, it is not enough to know that you are highly skilled, or have others say how wonderful you are, the proof is in expressing those skills in the real world and creating something as a result. The 'Performance' should spring from a love of what one is doing, whether it is music, performing, speaking or some other form of expression. True rewards come from being well rehearsed and prepared to share your talent with others.

Smugness versus talent. A validation of social standing.

The Caution: Relying on past success. Not putting in the day to day practice. Feeling the need for applause and acclaim to validate one's existence. Inflated egos demanding attention.

Why do we need the Crystal Children?

ARIES 27
THROUGH IMAGINATION, A LOST OPPORTUNITY IS REGAINED

Use your inner creative energy to revitalize an idea or opportunity that see
ms lost. You need to believe that it is possible and create a new image in your mind, then you will succeed. Take heart, there is the energy to recapture something that seemed to be lost.

Creative imagination and visualization. Hope renewed. Second chances.

The Caution: Relying on self pity which denies using the imagination to recover the situation. Not noticing the solutions to problems. Going over and over lost opportunities.

An Affirmation for this degree:
There are no lost opportunities in Divine Mind, as one door shuts another door is opened.
Florence Scovel Shinn

Please describe the relationship between the Crystals and Neptune.

CAPRICORN 9
AN ANGEL COMES CARRYING A HARP

You may feel that you are able to 'tune in' and radiate harmony around you. This pictures a situation of caring for others, of generosity and a fulfilled selfhood. Inspiring people to do their best can bring rewards to all concerned.

Messages of peace from the other side. Being in tune, spiritually. Having an elevated view of humanity. Creating harmony. Pulling on the heartstrings. Redemption.

The Caution: Having a holier-than-thou attitude. Losing oneself in fantasy. Tricking people with soothing words that mean nothing.

Please describe the relationship between the Indigos and Pluto.

PISCES 17
AN EASTER PROMENADE

There is regularly a need to share with others to celebrate your community's religious or spiritual aspirations and ideals. No matter how structured or organized this celebration is, if it's done with joy and warmth of feeling, it will inspirit the group, infusing them with a sense of emotional unity.

Renewed faith in one's life's circumstances. Rising from fear and loss. Public holidays and celebrations. The fertility rites of Spring.

The Caution: Superficial communal shows of unity. Doing things just because everyone else is doing them. Feeling lost, alone and forsaken in the crowd.

A New Direction

I have decided to take this blog in a new direction and write about that which truly interests me, without worrying about posting every day.

The most significant change to the remaining entries in my blog is the removal of the Sabian Symbol of the Day, which I have found to be somewhat frivolous.

I intend to only post interesting Sabian Symbol Q&A sessions as I experience them, such as the Indigo and Crystal children conversation I had with Ryo yesterday.

How I Use the Sabian Symbols

Online Sabian Symbols Generator:

Lynda Hill's Sabian Symbol Oracle or Astrology Weekly's Sabian Symbols' Oracle

Physical Deck of Cards:

A deck of "specially designed cards" can be found at the back of 360 Degrees of Wisdom by Lynda Hill, but I much prefer the instructions to create one's own deck on page xxvi using a pack of traditional playing cards. I would most likely be violating numerous copyright laws by typing the exact instructions here, yet I modified them a bit to suit my needs, since I could only locate one pack of playing cards in my kitchen drawer. The book suggests that you use two different decks preferrably with different colored backings in order to conveniently seperate the sign deck from the number deck at a glance, yet I personally think this is a bit wasteful, not to mention the inconvenience of having two incomplete decks of cards floating around one's house.

First seperate the picture cards (referred to in the book as court cards) from the number cards (Ace-10).

The first bit of math works perfectly--there are three court cards (King, Queen, and Jack) in each of the four suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs) and twelve signs of the zodiac. However, since each sign is composed of thirty degrees, and there are ten number cards (Ace-10) in each of the four suits, one set of number cards in one suit is not needed. The book discards Spades, but if you are missing one or more cards from a certain suit and none from another, please use common sense and use this suit.

Now comes the fun part--labelling! Although it really doesn't matter which card receives which sign, some kind of order greatly appeals to me. So I recommend that you start with the King of any suit and make this card Aries, the Queen of the same suit Taurus, and the Jack of the same suit Gemini. Or you can get more creative than the book and make each suit represent an element--perhaps Hearts fire signs, Diamonds air signs, Spades Earth signs, and Clubs Water signs so the red cards correspond with masculine signs and the black cards correspond with feminine signs.

My First Post


Welcome to my blog!

I intend for this to be an online journal of my Sabian Symbol Q&A sessions, which until now have been recorded on post-it notes cluttering my bedside drawer, Word documents saved in various folders on my computer, and posts within the thread The Sabian Symbols' Oracle - Questions and Answers in the Sabian Symbols subboard of Other branches of astrology in the Astrologers' Community forums, in which I am moderator. I invite anyone who has stumbled upon this page who is not a member to register with the community, which I credit for fostering my budding curiosity in astrology and encouraging me to explore deeper. This blog is dedicated to all of the wonderful people who have assisted me on my journey towards self-discovery.

The sabian symbols are a collection of 360 descriptions , one for each degree of the zodiac. For those unfamiliar with astrology, there are twelve signs in the western zodiac and each sign is composed of thirty degrees.

Aries - 30 degrees (1-30)
Taurus - 30 degrees (31-60)
Gemini - 30 degrees (61-90)
Cancer - 30 degrees (91-120)
Leo - 30 degrees (121-150)
Virgo - 30 degrees (151-180)
Libra - 30 degrees (181-210)
Scorpio - 30 degrees (211-240)
Sagittarius - 30 degrees (241-270)
Capricorn - 30 degrees (271-300)
Aquarius - 30 degrees (301-330)
Pisces - 30 degrees (331-360)

The uses of the sabian symbols are truly limitless.

Although they may be used in any branch of astrology to develop a better understanding of the degree in which a certain planet occupies, no knowledge of astrology is needed to use the sabian symbols as an Oracle, which is the main topic of this blog.

By the way, I have used Astrology Weekly's Sabian Symbols Numerology Tool to help me decide upon a pen name. Since this blog was created Christmas day, I believe this to be the perfect symbol:

The letters in SABIANA sum up to 20.

The Sabian Symbol associated with
this number is:

A YOUNG GIRL FEEDING BIRDS
IN WINTER.

= Sabian Symbol for 20º Aries
