Sabian Symbol
8 Gemini
A medieval archer stands with the ease of one wholly sure of himself, bow in hand, his quiver filled with arrows.
“This Symbol implies the ability of being able to take aim at something and achieving a bull’s eye – straight at the target. You need to be sure of what you want; that your aim is true, arm yourself, and go after what you want. Your situation is one that requires skill, focus, and knowledge of local conditions. There is no need to just rush forward hoping for the best, as this will only leave you feeling inadequate when you do find something. Compose yourself for a moment and realize that you have the ammunition and the sure marksmanship before taking aim and committing yourself. Make a strategy. Hit the target. Being armed and ready. Getting to the point. Accuracy and strength. Sending a message true and clear. Skills and confidence. Warriors.
The Caution: Going into battle unprepared. Overconfidence in a mission. Coming from a position of attack.”
