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.

A rainbow appears after rain
Read the symbol interpretation
That's important.
The rainbow does not mean the storm was secretly wonderful or that everything difficult happens for a reason. Sometimes shit is just hard.
But then the light changes, and something beautiful becomes possible because the storm and the sunlight are briefly occupying the same sky.
That's what I like about this degree. Hope doesn't erase what happened. It appears alongside it.
This can bring a real ability to find meaning, beauty or possibility after difficult experiences—not necessarily immediately, and not because somebody told you to "stay positive," but because eventually you look up and realize something has changed.
Jupiter or Venus here can bring strong recovery and optimism. Neptune may find spiritual meaning in difficult periods. Pluto can make the storm-and-rebirth cycle especially intense. On the Sun, there may be a gift for reminding other people that terrible moments are still moments, not necessarily the whole story.
Here is what yours can look like.

There is no single official interpretation you have to accept. Treat the image like a tiny symbolic doorway: notice what it reminds you of, what feels strange, and what becomes more interesting when you connect it to the planet or point occupying that degree.
