“The Scribe.” Indicates a person with writing abilities. The degree relates to connections made through correspondence. Degree of writers, calligraphy (B. Israel).

Poverty; talent squandering strength without purpose (O. Troyanovsky).

Mercury degree. Here, an empty cart is depicted. Mediocrity, scatterbrained nature, mistakes, disappointments, talent that fails to manifest due to barren energy (Theborean Calendar).

Venus degree. “A woman under the starry sky near ancient ruins; a bright angel to her right, a dark one to her left. Stars—these lamps of the palaces of the Almighty—shine in all their splendor.”

Indicates a person with a highly active mind, capable of grand deeds. Being exceptionally sensitive, they are strongly influenced by their own impulses and diverse impressions. This person’s life path is fraught with dangers, and they must remain vigilant not to stray from their course. May they often gaze at the stars and pray so that goodness guides their way. This is a symbol of restraint (I. Kosminsky).
