“The Inner Structure of the 360 Sabian Symbols
The first thing one needs to realize when studying the inner structure of the Sabian set of symbols is that it deals with the Zodiac as the Universal Matrix — an electromagnetic energy field anchored to Earth. Each of the 360 degrees of the Zodiac are seen as discreet quanta (or releases) of zodiacal energy/substance; each quantum carrying a unique, individualized set of "features" and "properties," such as those symbolically depicted in the Sabian Symbols.
The Wheel of Significance examines the inner structure of the Sabian Symbols in a number of ways, of particular significance is a division of the Zodiac into six polarities (powers, or shaktis): Aries-Taurus, Gemini-Cancer, Leo-Virgo, Libra-Scorpio, Sagittarius-Capricorn and Aquarius-Pisces. The first degree of each "positive" sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) is designated a "Root Symbol"; the first degree of each "negative" sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) is seen as a "Symbol of Confirmation."
The work also treats the Zodiac as a series of "Four Watches" of six Hours each, with each Hour consisting of fifteen zodiacal degrees, divided into three, five-degree Spans, with is interpreted as a pentacle of five "Points," shown below.”

The work also treats the Zodiac as a series of“Four Watches" of six Hours each, with each Hour consisting of fifteen zodiacal degrees, divided into three, five-degree Spans, with each Span operating at one of the three levels of activity outlined below.”
“Furthermore, the Symbol for the first degree of each zodiacal sign depicts a "Confrontation," while the Symbol for the sixteenth degree of each sign offers a "Solution" to the first degree. The Confrontation/Solution pairing of the first and sixteenth degrees is furthermore replicated in the sixth and twenty-first degrees, and in the eleventh and twenty-sixth degrees, each operating at their respective levels.
To help the reader easily place each degree within the structure outlined above, textual aids have been incorporated in the presentation of Rudhyar's 1936 set of the 360 Sabian Symbols found in the Appendix of this volume.
We've just scratched the surface here, there's much more on the following pages, including more fascinating studies on the pentarhythmic structure of the 360 Sabian Symbols.”
在这节里,作者提到了几个有意思的要点。
首先,它设定黄道十二星座是一种锚定在地球上的电磁能场。 360度的每个黄道十二宫都被视为黄道的能量/物质的离散量子(或释放);每个量子都带有独特的,个性化的“特征”和“特性”,比如那些象征性地描述在“萨比恩象征”中的特征。
其次,它将黄道12星座按阴阳极性做出了两种系统,每个“阳性”星座(白羊座,双子座,狮子座,天秤座,射手座和水瓶座)的第一度被指定为“起始象征”。每个“阴性”星座(金牛座,巨蟹座,处女座,天蝎座,摩羯座和双鱼座)的第一度被视为“确认象征”。
该书还将十二星座按度数分为“四个时钟”,六个小时为一个时钟,每个小时由十五个黄道度组成,分为三个五度跨度,每个跨度在以下所述的三个活动级别之一中进行操作。
最后,最重要的是,每个五度跨度被解释为五个“点”的五角星,如下所示。
此外,每个黄道象征的第一个象征代表一个“对照”,而每个象征的十六度象征为第一个象征提供了一个“解决方案”。第一和第十六度的对照/解决方案配对在第六和第二十一度以及第十一和第二十六度各有所重复。
