Sabian Symbols are a set of 360 symbolic images, one for every degree of the zodiac. That means every planet and important point in your birth chart has its own symbol attached to the exact degree where it falls. Your Sun has one. Your Moon has one. Your Ascendant, Venus, Mars, Midheaven, nodes, and the rest of your chart do too.
These symbols add another layer to astrology. Instead of only telling you *where* something is in your chart, they give you an image to sit with—a scene, an idea, a metaphor, or sometimes something that feels oddly specific.
You don’t have to take them literally. Think of them as symbolic prompts. Read the image, notice what stands out to you, and then consider it alongside the planet or point it belongs to. A symbol connected to Venus may speak through love, values, and relationships, while the same kind of symbolism connected to Saturn may show up through responsibility, limits, or growth.
Some symbols will make immediate sense. Others may not click until much later. That’s part of the fun. Choose any placement below to explore its Sabian Symbol and see what that image adds to the story of your chart.
22° Scorpio
Hunters set out to shoot wild ducks
Read the symbol interpretation
And somebody is actively trying to hit it.
This degree has focus, pursuit and a very old survival instinct running through it. Hunters don't just wander around firing randomly into the sky—or at least they damn well shouldn't. They watch, wait, aim and choose the moment.
So there can be real strategic ability here. Knowing what you want is one thing. Knowing when to act is another.
But there's also the obvious question about pursuit itself. Just because you can chase something doesn't mean you need to. Sometimes we get so caught up in winning, acquiring or capturing that we never ask whether we actually wanted the duck in the first place.
Mars here can be extremely focused and competitive. Saturn may have tremendous patience. Pluto can become almost obsessive once it has chosen a target. On the MC, the person may do especially well in situations where timing and strategy matter as much as raw effort.
Here is what yours can look like.
