The Sabian Symbols are from four sources: "The Sabian Symbols in Astrology" by Dr. Marc Edmund Jones © The Marc Edmund Jones Literary Trust. First published in 1993 by Aurora Press, PO Box 573, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87504, USA.

Another source used for the symbols themselves is Dane Rudhyar.

The interpretations for the symbols in interpretation reports is by Marc Edmund Jones and by Lynda Hill.

Finally Sabian Symbol interpretation text is also available via "Charubel’s Degrees", which are taken from the book “The Degrees of the Zodiac Symbolised” which is taken from the Astrology Classics edition of 2004, Bel Air, MD, USA.

 

Lynda Hill has also supplied the same contents for the "Sabian Oracle", which is degree interpretive text but it isn't related to any particular chart when accessed in the "Sabian Oracle".

 

The parts of the body for each degree of the zodiac are from "A Handbook of Medical Astrology"

The interpretations in the file STANDARD.INT relate to natal geocentric charts. It can also be used fairly effectively with various other types of charts, such as return charts or progressed charts, provided that the reader bears in mind the original purpose of the text, and adapts it to the new context. For example, the interpretation of the Sun in the 5th house in a return chart will only apply for a period of 1 year, whereas the text was written to refer to enduring traits that would result from this placement in a natal chart.

 

The interpretations in the file TRANSITS.INT relate to transits to a natal chart.

The interpretations in the file PROGRESS.INT relate to progressions to a natal chart.

The interpretations file SYNASTRY.INT relates to synastry between two natal charts.

The interpretations file CALENDAR.INT relate to transits to a natal chart.

The interpretations file FIRDARIA.INT relates to firdaria planetary periods in relation to a natal chart.

The interpretations file SABIAN.INT and CHARUBEL.INT relates to the Sabian Symbols in relation to a natal chart.

The interpretations file ORACLE.INT relates to the Sabian Oracle and not to a natal chart.

 

Not all possible categories of interpretations are covered in these files given the vast number of possible combinations that need to be potentially catered for. For example there is no text relating to aspects between the TransNeptunians and planets.

 

You are, however, free to add you own text to either of these files, or to create your own interpretations files from scratch, by using the

Interpretations Compiler supplied with Solar Fire.
