A man standing on a platform and an audience in front. A public person, lecturer, politician, orator. Or one fond of literature. c
A man lying wounded or sick upon the ground. Void of virility and ambition. Weakness. b
A cup, a pack of playing cards, and dice. Dissipated or irregular life. Weakness for wine and gambling. Addicted to pursuit of fortune by adventitious means. Spoliation. b
A man holding a fowl by the neck in the act of strangling it. Cruelty and cowardice. Taking advantage of the defenseless. c
A man in monkish dress, with long hair and flowing beard. Fond of solitude; reserved. Maybe a religion of a severe type. c
A tree felled and sawed. Immediacy. s
A mother with her children on stairs. Education. s
There could be intellectual activity, including debate or internal argumentation, with Luna conjoined to Mars in Sagittarius (lecturer). There is a desire to be at the top of one's job or career, with the Part of Fortune in the 10th sector, yet one may fear that one is being weak or ambitionless (man lying on the ground). Going along with that could be a desire for escape, perhaps a repudiation of the labor involved in duties (people playing card games while drinking). Ain't this the life! Until one loses drastically and is sick from a hangover.
Then there could be anger and cruelty (man strangling chicken). This is the last day we will be having this symbol, for quite a while, and I'm sure none of us is fond of it. However, frustration can impel anyone toward impatient words or acts which hurt someone else even if not deliberately cruel. Let's beware of that. If someone else seems cruel to you, you may understand how that derives from deep frustration as much as from anything you may have done. There is also, let's remember, a subtle reminder in this symbol that if we eat eggs or chicken, we are "the man strangling the fowl" in no uncertain terms, for even on the best chicken farms there is a lot of conscious or unconscious cruelty. (Yes, I am being the lecturer or preacher, the monk, in this paragraph.)
That brings us to the monk. As a reaction to the preceding---the drinking, gambling, and cruelty---there can be a reaction in some, so that they adopt a religion or spiritual path of a "severe" or austere type. This is the story of the man converted from his evil ways and now zealously righteous. You may sense this going on in others or yourself.
The immediacy of felling and sawing a tree is also a good reaction when things have gone wrong, in that we still do in fact use lumber despite all our environmental ideals. In the context of a pioneer life, felling and sawing a tree was a necessity in setting up a homestead. This symbol means, "Recognize what you need to do and do it at once."
The mother with her children on stairs has seen all of the above, in her family and in other people's children, and wants to protect her own from the errors we have just been exploring---weakness, escapism, and even perhaps a resulting rejection of the world (as a monk, a cult member, or even a military recruit perhaps). She sees her children graded upward in terms of age and also in terms of qualities and abilities. Her perspective enables her to help them focus on just the "immediate necessity," sawing that wood, rather than get lost in pointless side paths.
If we don't have children, we are still the mother or dad of ourselves and of others we care about.

b: Signor Borelli, 19th century clairvoyant; interpreted by Sepharial who was Walter Gorn Old
c: Charubel, 19th century clairvoyant who was John Thomas
s: Sabian symbol which came through psychic Elsie Wheeler, interpreted by Marc Edmund Jones
The symbols and their interpretation are intended to apply basically during the hours from dawn to midnight. Often a planet will move from one degree to another during the day, so I use a time near mid-afternoon for all of them, so that they shall be exactly right during most, often all, of the daylight hours. The period from midnight to dawn could partake of the nature of either day or both.
