"... Generally speaking, 'life' is a forward movement
intent upon generating a future which not only maintains but also transforms a present state of organic development so as to actualize further what was potential at the beginning (the seed) of the organism. But there are factors in man which can only develop in 'counterpoint' to the normal, instinctive, spontaneous flow of life energies. For instance, as long as mind is the servant of the life force and of the will for survival — as it is in the animal kingdom — it is instinctual and bound to immediate biological needs. It displays no sign of objectivity, no capacity for abstraction and reasoning.

To be objective to some fact and to gain the proper perspective concerning it, one must move away from it and look at it, as it were, from a distance. If Mercury represents basically the mind of man, it is, therefore, when Mercury is retrograde that man's objective discriminative and analytical mental powers begin to develop adequately.

I've worked with Dane Rudhyar's "... Astrological Mandala: (The Cycle of Transformations and Its 360 Symbolic Phases)" over the course of a few decades (which required my getting a second copy to replace my well-worn initial copy) and therefore hap ot have discovered the above khaldea.com site where they offer a number of his other works which includes more material on the Sabian symbols. My interest here is all the more accentuated by the fact that Human Design includes the I Ching and Dane Rudhyar offers "a reinterpretation of the Sabian symbols, presenting then as a contemporary American I Ching."

"Advanced astrology: Sabian symbols offer psychic insights.
An Astrology Oracle:

History

Elsie Wheeler, the psychic who received the visions (for) the Sabian symbols ... met astrologer Marc Jones who had become interested in the idea of wedding deeper esoteric knowledge to astrology. With Wheeler acting as channel, and Jones holding up index cards marked with the degree of each sign, then writing down Wheeler’s vision for that degree, they together created the symbols.

Although this happened in 1925, the symbols were not published until 1953. ... After Jones’ death, astrologer Dane Rudhyar ... condensed and refined the images to publish them in 1973 as ‘An Astrological Mandala — The Cycle of Transformations and Its 360 Symbolic Phases’. ...":
