URANUS
Ast. The modern sigil is generally explained as being derived from the initial letter of Herschel, as for example in HONE 1951 :
However, already WILSON 1819 calls the planet Ouranos, and accords it the sigil :
and VARLEY 1828, who still calls it Herschml, and ascribes it rule over the zodiacal Aquarius, gives it a related form of sigil :
The planet is still called Herschel in certain astrological texts. As with the other so-called 'modern' planets, the sigils used to denote this planet are highly personal ones, and more than often the result of confused thinking, or of somewhat specialist views of the nature of symbolism : for example, the author uses the sigil
which has, so far as he knows, never been published LEO 1914 says that the sigil
symbolises the unity of the three symbols
will, wisdom and
activity on a higher grade than Mercury, of which it is the higher octave'. The following sigils are by far the most common.
