"Some three decades ago, in an attempt to produce a series of symbols that would be relevant to contemporary students of astrology, Marc Edmund Jones and a clairvoyant friend formulated the so-called Sabian symbols.  Now Dane Rudhyar has taken these symbols and reinterpreted them to emphasise their character as a cyclic and structured series which formalises and reveals the archetypal meaning of 360 basic phases of human experience. 
Rudhyar also demonstrates how the Sabian symbols can be used for divination.  Like Tarot card and the I Ching, they provide clues to the best way to face anxieties, or suggest what alternative courses of action might mean in one's life.  In the form of pictures that are easily recognisable to people today, these symbols can be said to constitute a contemporary, American I Ching, a series of symbols that foes to the very root of planetary significance for our present era."
