The traditional symbol for this degree, one of the 360 Sabian symbols first recorded in 1925: “An old bas-relief, carved in stone, still stands as evidence of a culture long since gone.”
THE SYMBOL
“An old bas-relief, carved in stone, still stands as evidence of a culture long since gone.”
Capricorn 14° · Sabian symbols, devised 1925 (Marc Edmund Jones, clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler)
Remember to round up: a planet or point at 9°30′ takes the 10° symbol, not the 9° one.
What this degree describes
What outlasts a civilization, this degree suggests, is often the object made with the most care, stone patient enough to survive everything that surrounded it when it was made. Capricorn's relationship to time is entirely at home here: build carefully enough, in durable enough material, and the work itself becomes the witness long after every other record of the era has vanished. There is real gravity in the image, and real hope too, since something did survive.
When a planet or point falls here
A planet at this degree often shows work built specifically to last past its own era, made durable on purpose rather than for immediate use. Saturn here is especially at home, favoring legacy achieved through material seriousness. On the tenth house, it favors a body of work meant to outlive the career that produced it.
What are you currently carving carefully enough that it might still be legible long after everything around it has worn away?
