Editorial Reviews
Product Description The Sabian Symbols originated in the Middle East sometime during the thirteenth century, but in 1925, thanks to a renowned American clairvoyant, they were reinterpreted and given a more contemporary form. In 360 Degrees of Wisdom, Lynda Hill has creates a modern, accessible way to chart the inner psyche through astrology. Ask a question, pick one of the specially designed cards, and let the Symbols guide you to an answer. More accessible than the tarot and easier to use than the I Ching, 360 Degrees of Wisdom will help you discover a modern and fascinating branch of astrology.

Without a solid grounding in Astrology or Tarot, the casual reader would see this book as a parlor game. Although the premise seems simple the deeper experience of Sabian Symbols provides a tantalizing peek into the "Mysteries". The book is well researched and written to take the reader on a journey as profound or as light as required. The cards are a nice bonus and serve as a tangible way to experience the concept more fully.
Very clear and accurate. July 25, 2006 glass maven 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one book that may never see the bookshelf. I've found that it stays where I can pick it up and read or refer. I recommend this book. It is highly accurate and very clearly written. It's a keeper.
Sabian Symbols / 360 Degrees of Wisdom March 2, 2006 chickenlil (Corrales NM USA) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book - I have been using the online version of the Oracle for the past year and finally decided I wanted to have the book. I am very happy with the depth of each symbol, and the images are interesting and beautiful to imagine - My only complaint is, I thought the Sabian symbols would be illustrated in the book, but they are not. I will have to keep looking for the visual component of the system, but after years with other divination-type cards - animals, angels, runes, tarot etc - this is different and refreshingly appropriate for me at this time.

This more than exceeded my expectations concerning the much translated and interpreted Sabian Symbols. I have several other books on this subject and none were as clearly addressed as this jewel from down under. Using this as a tool for my personal use as well as de-coding charts of clients, I know the original intent of these symbols is now being served. Love this book! bhe
