Locating your sun in the zodiac…
An astrologer and a clairvoyant, October 1925.
They sat together in Balboa Park. He shuffled 360 unmarked cards. She closed her eyes and described the image she saw on each. The 360 images have been in continuous use as an astrological tool ever since.
Image, not metaphor.
Each degree of the zodiac carries a small scene — a woman rising from the sea, a sword on rocks, a kettle boiling. These are received images, not symbols invented for meaning.
One afternoon, 360 visions.
Marc Edmund Jones, the astrologer, brought Elsie Wheeler — a clairvoyant in chronic pain — to a park bench. They worked through all 360 in a single sitting. He wrote down what she described.
The image of your degree.
Your sun sits at one specific degree. So does your moon, and your ascendant. Each carries an image. The reading you get works directly with the picture: what it shows, what it says about how you move.

— Sabian Decoded, MMXXVI01How accurate does my birth time need to be?+
For the free Sun reading, just the date is enough — the Sun moves through about one degree per day. For the full reading, an accurate birth time gets you the precise moon and ascendant. If your birth time is unknown, we still produce the reading with a moon-position note.
02Where do these images come from?+
From a single afternoon in October 1925 in Balboa Park, San Diego. Marc Edmund Jones brought Elsie Wheeler, a clairvoyant in chronic pain, who described the 360 images one after another while Jones recorded them on numbered cards.
03What's the difference from regular astrology?+
Astrology interprets the abstract meaning of a degree. Sabian Symbols give you the actual image at that degree. The reading you get works with that image directly: what it shows, what it says about how you move through the world, where its specific gift is, and where its shadow lives.
04Is this related to Soul Contract Calculator?+
Same builder, different system. Soul Contract Calculator works with the 22 Hebrew letter frequencies in your birth name. Sabian Decoded works with the 360 zodiac-degree images of your birth chart. Different tools, same care taken.
05Can I get a reading for someone else?+
Yes. Just enter their birth date. If you want a full reading for them as a gift, the unlock arrives at whatever email you use at checkout. Compatibility readings comparing two people's symbols are also coming.
