Triangle with wings is the Sabian Symbol for the 5th degree of Aries. Here it is described using the 7 Words System - a way of understanding the complexity of human interactions that can be applied to all aspects of self-awareness and relationship, so that you quickly change your perspectives and get to a deep sense of what to do to improve things.
Have you sometimes reflected that your zodiac sign,
whereas it may say quite a lot, cannot in actual fact distinguish you exactly? At any rate not in a spine-tingling kind of way that will make each and every part of life seem almost poles apart from what it was before. Well, have a look at these Sabian Symbols – they may make you change your mind! The Sabian approach certainly is very distinctive.
What exactly are Sabian Symbols? The Sabian Symbols are 360 images – one for each degree – that have been clairvoyantly discovered by a mystic, Elsie Wheeler, and clarified by a leading astrologer, Dr Marc Edmund Jones. Each one gives a clue about the principal significance of that point, which usually can reveal some very useful and provoking perceptions for you.
It works even if it’s not your particular degree – and yet a lot better if it is. It’s best to allow yourself time to do it slowly, like a meditation. Let each of the short paragraphs sink in slowly and try to feel what it means, as well as using the mind…or just sit with the images for a while and use your power of imagination to create some playful stories around it.

Having come to some new realizations about the essence of who you are, there is another stage you can adopt – to decide to be different. You can influence a lot more of your circumstances than you usually do when you engage fully with the deepest part of your unique identity, by taking on the qualities indicated by your Sabian symbol.
Also if you are clearer about who you are, then you become a lot more certain about what you want out of life. You can set your goals according to an overall vision of the bigger picture, and that itself leads to a much greater chance of success. It helps with focus so that you keep your attention fixed on the required outcome.
Reading your own Sabian Symbol is a bit like getting a brother or sister to speak honestly about you. They know you well, with all your dark bits and your light, and although they love you, they’ll tell you the hard truth! It can be difficult to hear, yet useful for those who are trying to become better people. It may be necessary to reread it a few times and think deeply about what is actually being said.
There is so much we could do with our lives! Opportunities are endless and very diverse, each day bringing little clues and teases to nudge us toward a little more unfolding of potential. Saying No to this and Yes to that surely requires us to trust our feelings and surrender to the inevitable – that, come what may, we all end up being who we are: nothing more, nothing less.
A triangle is particularly well balanced; wings suggest flight. Here we have a pointer towards an especially well-grounded person who is continually enthusiastic, ever zealous about self development.
Three aspects of individuality are encountered and refined in our interaction with our situations and environment. These are our skills, loyalties and values. Through these we make ourselves known to our self.
It is of key importance to appreciate the profound value of our impulses. As life throws up its adventures and challenges, we will know who we are through the purity of these original impulses and, no matter what occurs, our essential nature will hold us in good stead if we trust them.
Life is necessarily a transformative sequence of events that processes the inner nature of a person through endless experiences. The many aspects of one’s personality and desires are the proof of one’s deepest enduring vision of self.
The goal of life is to determine what we hold to be good and true. Do we assert light over darkness? And for us – what is light?
The basic self goes through unending tests of worth, the higher self unending examinations of conscience – and through these processes, refinement is assured.
Without such an approach we are left with nothing more than the dismissal of every ordinary experience as inconvenient, even pointless, except the extent to which it offers pleasure and promotes in us a blissful state of obliviousness to the truth of who we are and what we are doing.
