In the modern world, commerce should be fairly clearly distinguished from everything else. Trade and commercial activity in the current period are of great importance, the world lives on trade relations and does not produce much. Moreover, considering that much has been produced long ago.
Especially when it comes to spiritual meanings and practices, much of this has been known for a long time, and all new trends often become just a transposition or maximum interpretation of the previous one. From this point of view, we will consider the Sabian symbols and the possibility of using this technique for self-knowledge.
Where did the Sabian symbols come from?
Going overly into the details of the origin of these symbols is, perhaps, excessive. It is possible to assume that the original source is the traditions of European occultism. And nowhere is the idea that the Sabian symbols received as a revelation or the result of intense spiritual work is especially promoted.

With a high probability, we are just facing a rework of some symbolism known in the mystical traditions, supplemented by the developments of modern psychology. The symbols themselves are images oriented towards various signs of the zodiac. Sabian symbols can be very diverse and simple and difficult to understand:
- prism;
- fairy rabbit;
- young man with a candle.
They can be designed simply as a phrase or depicted in a picture. One way or another, they represent a variant of concentration and concentration. Such symbols allow you to think and do some inner work.
The commercial side of the matter
Certainly, as well as many creations in the mainstream of New Age Sabian symbols, they have a commercial purpose. More precisely, they are used, among other things, to extract commercial benefits. Perhaps there is nothing terrible in this, only you need to realize that part of the stories and all the entourage associated with this method may be part of the marketing work, but not any spiritual truth or advice.
Therefore, strictly speaking, they are not particularly necessary for the spiritual path. It may be interesting to do this for amateurs (and professionals) of Western astrology and mysticism. At the same time, you may well also look into yourself and receive no less revelations.
The spiritual side of the matter
Sabian symbols are a collection of images, perhaps even poetic images. They are an interesting option for meditation and concentration. This practice has many variations and is similar to working with the subconscious.
In fact, you can get a similar effect by observing the clouds or by observing the waving of waves. Of course, Sabian symbols can also come in handy when analyzing your horoscope. It should be understood that the correspondences provided by the author are more suitable for the modern era and, for the most part, for Western culture.
