Dr M E Jones key word is resourcefullness - discussing fideliyt to a course of action.

This symbol has it all, how lovely are mountain streams, pure, natural, refreshing.
Emotionally this is a cleansing symbol, letting go, cleaning out, release.
Spiritually, anything that is CLEAR is good eh!
Here we get the view of the heights of spirit and the universal connection of LOVE downward to the valley.. just lovely.

People with this symbol usually have a calling to 'religion' now thats in all its forms, 'man-made religion with rules' and other more casual forms of spiritual expression.. Oh and they are pretty creative spirits too. They have a sure sense of direction – much like that of the mountain stream, but I can 'never' see the direction in it

this is sybmol 31 - so reduces to a 4 number.

When I pull this symbol as an ORACLE I make a HUGE offor to at least sit by water, preferably by RUNNING water a river, stream or water feature, but a lake or bath will do

the bold is my addition - because I just posted on the Taurus 2 thread - the Electrical Storm one.

Are there two symbols with the same title?

Element River pebble
Discussion Pebbles are included in the earliest known man-made tools. River pebbles are smooth, multi coloured and found in rivers everywhere. The colour of the stone can represent much of what the stone can heal or do for example purple and bright red for heat and passion, light blue for cool and cautious, light brown for firmness , steadfastness and permanence, green for dynamism, change and activity, white for purity and intention, black for absolute and total submission and combinations of colors is a combination of qualities qualities. I love using river pebbles as paper weights, in any case for thousands of years the resourcefulness of these ‘elements’ is well documented.

I thought it would be good to use the Orphalese software to record my daily sabian symbol readings and so set about looking for appropriate images to convey the meaning of each card.

Attached is what I came up with for this symbol.

Lovely picture purple_scorp! The lushness of green is everywhere….I feel the sun is warm…perhaps late spring, early summer…..as I stand near the mouth of the stream I can see the water and light creating rainbows in the air. I am a romantic at heart….I feel a richness here, and a deep sense of harmony, beauty and peace

Earth and water define each other. This symbol has a warm, moist fertile ring to it. And, sexuality is the interaction between earth and the flowing waters. Earth needs water and water needs containment, a vessel in which to pour. As the stream flows steadily downward, it begins the slow process of shaping a new relationship with the rocks of the earth.

Many relaxing cd’s and guided meditations have the sounds of a peaceful waterfall. One of my most favorite mediations is called The Healing Waterfall. It is so peaceful, sensual and pure.

‘I have’ is the motto of Taurus…where we feel a drive (potent with desire) to manifest something solid that will stabilize, contain or support any discontent in our lives. With Taurus, we enter into the world of the body, the senses, substance and value. Through our body senses we can experience pleasure, grounded ness and physical connection to the world around us. We can experience ourselves as creatures of the earth.

Is this waterfall also about fertilization? The dive of the sperm into the gushing fertility pool of the egg?
