Sabian Symbols by Dane Rudhyar In the current period, there are Moon–Sun conjunctions at 28° of a sign and Moon–Sun oppositions at 13–14° of a sign. Naturally, many astrologers are speaking about the Moon–Sun conjunction at 28° or 29° of a sign, which is understandable given the sense of urgency, it's an he Anaretic Degree and so many transpersonal planets are positioned on this degree. Uranus, Chiron, Neptune, and Saturn brush against and “dance” with these final degrees of a sign, spanning the transition between the previous calendar year and the one we have entered. Uranus is at 1° Gemini, Neptune and Saturn at 0° Aries, Pluto at 1° Aquarius, and Chiron is approaching its ingress into Taurus. However, this has not particularly drawn my attention, as virtually every astrologer has already expressed their views on this topic. What truly caught my attention instead was the opposition . What is the difference between an opposition and a conjunction? An opposition brings an inner struggl e for the individual.
“Should I be agreeable or combative?” (Moon–Mars opposition). A conjunction , on the other hand, can create confusion : the two energies are difficult to differentiate, which often leads to projecting on of them onto others in order to understand them. The conjunction between Neptune and Mercury creates an inability to clearly distinguish Neptunian energy (everything is vague, fluid, indistinct) from Mercurial energy (the need to know, understand, analyse everything). The lived experience may then be coloured by the perception: “since everything is unclear, things must be being hidden from me.” An opposition between two planets obliges the person to find a middle ground between the two energies, This leads to several questions: • What is the difference between an opposition and a conjunction, particularly with regard to the Sun and the Moon? • How is this opposition experienced when it affects personal planets? The current Sun–Moon movement Let us first observe the movement currently unfolding between these two planets. From October 2025 onward, we enter a Sun–Moon opposition at 13°–14° of the signs, alongside a conjunction at 28°. We therefore focus on the Full Moon (13°). This pattern continues until April 2026. For six months, there is a continuous opposition between the Sun and the Moon, always in aspect to the transpersonal planets, thereby illuminating with even greater intensity the sign changes of Uranus, Chiron, Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn (Chiron and Jupiter change signs in June 2026). We are therefore dealing with a structural movement accompanying the sign changes of the transpersonal planets. This is what interests me, because understanding meaning through a structured movement is often, for me, the key to comprehension. During this same period, the Sun–Moon oppositions are each time also in aspect to these same planets—
with the Sun moving from Libra to Aries, and the Moon from Aries to Libra. Reading the Sabian Symbols To read the Sabian symbols, one must first understand how they are used.
13°01′ refers to the 14th degree. What does Dane Rudhyar say about the 14th degree in general?
 The general theme of the 14th degree is maturation and consolidation. Sun at 14° Libra “A man taking a siesta in the noonday sun.”
An indication that it is important to rest, refocus on oneself, and integrate what has been learned. - 14° Scorpio “Telephone linemen at work installing new lines.”
The need to establish new lines of communication (possibly spiritual). - 14° Sagittarius “The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx.”
Recognising the eternal power of esoteric knowledge from a previous cycle of existence resurfacing. - 14° Capricorn “An ancient bas-relief carved in granite, bearing witness to a long-forgotten culture.”
Rudhyar sees in this image the possibility of unearthing what holds permanent value, linking past and present, and letting go of what is not essential. - 14° Aquarius “A train entering a tunnel.”
The capacity to shorten the course of natural evolution through willpower and mastery of the body. - 14° Pisces “A distinguished lady wrapped in fur.”
The use of intelligence and refinement as protection against the storms and trials of life. Solar evolutionary path If we consider the progression of solar energy, linked to cosmic awareness and becoming conscious of universal laws, the movement can be read as follows: Self-respect (rest) allows for renewal and the establishment of new communication, which leads to awareness of ancestral knowledge. Recognizing and integrating this knowledge enables greater mastery of one’s will and body, allowing for a better quality of life and greater protection against life’s trials. And what about the Moon ? 14° Aries “A coiled serpent beside a couple.”
Judging too hastily that it is possible to transform the status quo all at once. 14° Taurus “Children playing on the beach near crabs scurrying along the shoreline.”
A return to simple pleasures as a source of renewal. 14° Gemini “Abolishing physical distance and social barriers, two men communicate telepathically.”
Transcending the contingencies of material existence. 14° Cancer "A very old man, facing northeast, contemplating a vast darkened space.” 
Fulfilment in an immutable and transcendent wisdom. 14° Leo “A disembodied soul seeking to return to Earth.”
The aspiration toward self-realisation. 14° Virgo “The family tree of an aristocratic lineage.”
A deep trust in the ancestral roots of the individual temperament. The Lunar path The lunar journey, whose energy speaks of our capacity to emotionally connect with others, teaches us that: Premature rebellion encounters resistance that can be avoided. Taking time for oneself and with oneself, and recognising the pleasure of being with others, provides nourishment and allows one to move beyond the frustration of material limitations. This immutable and transcendent wisdom is an accomplishment in itself and leads to answering the aspiration toward self-realisation. Integrating ancestral roots reveals itself in each individual’s temperament. In my own case, since these 13°–14° degrees directly affect my natal chart—with the Moon, Venus, Vesta, and Ceres at 13°, and the Ascendant at 15°—there was a persistent sense of insistence, as if something were repeatedly tapping me on the head, until I finally listened. The geometry of the opposition at the beginning of January directly activates all these points at 13°, with the Sun conjunct Ceres in Capricorn. What, then, am I hearing? The change we are experiencing today is distinguished by its orientation toward both logic and rationality, as well as intuition and perception. It seems we can no longer rely solely on the tools of intellect in the future. Even if reasoning retains its place, it will be placed in service of intuition and perception.

AstrologyWays a tool for mediation

Astrology gives me a broader view of the situation and the rules than other approaches. People have always had a dimension to me as large as the stars in the sky. AstrologyWays aims to communicate a little of this dimension using the same rules as in mediation.  The approach is Jungian - Jung was both an astrologer and a psychoanalyst.

How to see astrology? It is a "blueprint" of the moment of birth, whether of a group, a person or a situation. And although this ‘architect's plan’ gives us a glimpse of the construction to come, it can only express the possibilities.  It is during the consultation  - the communication between the astrologer and the client that the path is revealed. Astrologer and client together consider the options available - which decisions are made and why.  Careful interpretation of a particular theme allows the client to become more aware of the motivation behind their choices and this leads to more freedom in their life. 

The Birth Chart describes our complex personality, divided into twelve different zodiac signs, each governing one of twelve areas of life. Like a house with different rooms each with a different environment and purpose - some inhabited, others unused for many years. This is one of the metaphors I might use during your consultation to shed light on some of your themes.

The sacred and the sanctuary become matter, the body, the earth which are the containers and the expression of emotion, feeling and intuition linked to mind and thought.

At around the age of 16, I started to become interested in astrology.  My older sister had some of Linda Goodman’s books and they opened a door for me.  Especially since at the time I felt my way of thinking and feeling was not seen or validated. I needed new paths to allow me to rebuild myself and Astrology met this need. My intuitive side was undeveloped and undervalued, more so than the logical, rational side which was well supported. Mathematics, chemistry and technology were naturally logical to me, but the other side, the intuitive, instinctual human was also interesting. In the human approach, I didn’t have much support. I had family around me who had a medical bias that I would call mechanical at the time. However, technical logic and human logic are for me two worlds with their own system of reflection.

Regularly my observations were dismissed with remarks like “this is the logic of women in their kitchen! Nothing scientific or proven about it.”

Upset and humiliated by these types of remarks, they only reinforced my desire to explore.

Astrology with its symbolism opens up the dimension of sounds. A symbol is music that is not limited to the physical. 

It is a resonance - multidimensional. The symbol relates the real and tangible world to the invisible world in another sense. It connects solid density atoms to gaseous or liquid density. It links sciences to virtuality. It is a world that I understand.

And yet, interpreted, it can become borderline and full of prejudices and dogmas.

I then have to look for the new word that takes on the resonance that carries good music. Pluto, a planet with an irregular orbit, is often described as a transformer that destroys then rebuilds, but it only takes its place in my world of references when one day someone qualifies it as a purifier. Then I see it as earth that purifies the water so that the water can generate life again.

The world of these symbols joins the world of symbols of the fairy tales that I read and reread endlessly during my childhood. Later I replaced the fairy tales with science fiction which is also filled with human symbols, taken out of this tangible world so that humans and their relationships with other beings can manifest themselves. The sacred and the material can come together. Let us get out of the vibrational dimension of the binary and the three-dimensional and into the quantum.

We invent worlds to expose the relationships between visible and invisible beings, which we are unable to access or integrate otherwise. In the defined and commonly accepted world, certain relationships and tensions are not formed without symbolism. Physics in its solid 3D dimension, the only one accepted, the only one shared, removes from its foundations the liquid which takes its own path as well as the gaseous.

However, all this is gradually changing. The idea having a gaseous dimension, today becomes "energetic" and enters into the vibration of the quantum.

This same world of quantum has become - the SMS message sent from Japan to the Curator of Monuments in Paris even before the firefighters can inform him that Notre Dame is on fire. 

What masterful symbolism of this fifth dimension!

Each symbol corresponds to this inner music which seeks to manifest itself in the right word, free of prejudices and dogmas. A magic from the inside out. How to anchor this inner music in the world so that we can hear it.

This is how I understood astrology, this subject that my father had brought to me by opening my eyes to a vision that was too narrow.

- "look at this flower, isn’t it beautiful?"

We look

- "so what plant is it?"

We do not know

- "this flower is the cabbage flower. The same one we ate at noon. But the cabbage which becomes flower is no longer edible, it has transformed. Reason why farmers cut it before flowering."

It learned me this is the transformation of our century that is explained in a few simple words. The dogma that a cabbage is eaten has been transformed in a century into a cabbage that is eaten but which also decorates our homes.

Through words the sacred and the sanctuary take shape in me. The sacred and the sanctuary become matter, the body, the earth which are the containers and the expression of emotion, feeling and intuition linked to mind and thought. It is the music of the universe that takes shape or is sometimes distorted.
