THE SYMBOL
“A mounted warrior rides fiercely into battle, trophies of past victories hanging at his belt.”
Taurus 24° · 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.
Note: the 1925 original for this degree used dated ethnic imagery; the picture above keeps its meaning in respectful, modern terms.
What this degree describes
This is one of the sign's fiercest images, a rider fully committed to conquest, wearing the evidence of past victories openly rather than hiding them. There is nothing gentle about this degree, and it is not meant to be, it names the part of Taurus that will fight hard, and visibly, for territory and standing once those things are genuinely threatened. The trophies at his belt are not decoration, they are a record, proof that this particular fight has been fought and won before.
When a planet or point falls here
A planet at this degree often shows real willingness to fight openly, and successfully, for territory, status, or resources once they are actually contested. Mars here can indicate a fierce, unapologetic defender of what has already been earned. It rewards knowing the difference between defending real ground and simply looking for a fight.
What ground have you already fought for and won, that you are allowed to claim without apologizing for the fight it took?
