Free Sabian symbol calculator: find the Sabian symbol for your Sun, Moon, Rising, and every planet — the 360 degree images from the Marc Edmund Jones tradition.
The Sabian symbols are 360 short images, one for every degree of the zodiac, set down in 1925 when Marc Edmund Jones read out the degrees at random and the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler described a scene for each. The result is less a definition than a meditation: a single picture — a woman rising from the sea, a train entering a tunnel — meant to hold the whole flavour of that degree.
The symbol is read for the next whole degree, not the one a planet has just entered. A planet anywhere in 15°00′ to 15°59′ of Leo takes the "Leo 16" image, because the very first degree of a sign runs from 0°00′ to 0°59′. This calculator applies that rounding for every planet and angle, so the image you get is the one an astrologer would actually read.
A Sabian symbol is a door, not a verdict. Take it literally and it can seem strange or arbitrary; sit with it as an image and it tends to keep unfolding, revealing more the longer you hold it against your own life. Begin with your Sun, Moon, and Rising symbols — the three most personal — and let the picture, not a fixed keyword, do the teaching.
The Sabian symbols are a set of 360 images — one for each degree of the zodiac — received by the clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler and recorded by the astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in 1925. Each degree gets a short, vivid scene meant to distil its meaning.
Every planet sits at a specific degree, and the Sabian symbol is read for the NEXT whole degree — a planet at 15°23′ Leo takes the "Leo 16" symbol — because the first degree of a sign covers 0°00′ to 0°59′.
Many astrologers start with the Sun (your core), the Moon (your inner life), and the Ascendant (how you meet the world). This calculator features those three and lists the rest.
