New age Sabians

New-Age Sabians are a religious "cult".

As we can see from all the sources, any unaffiliated rational-(mono)theist who, personally, is attached to Noah, believes in angels, interested in astrology, strives for attainable illumination/enlightenment/Buddhahood, enjoys devotional singing, moderates their diet in late spring, regularly meditates on the southern sky, and who expects a future Persian prophet, fits the traditional definition of a Sabi.

Since all sources indicate that Sabians followed an individual spiritual path or disorganised religion, it might be ironic that there are various organized new age groups around today using the terms Sabean, Sabaean or Sabian in the titles of their organisations. GeneRally such groups are more attracted to the Yazdan beliefs of the Sabians of Harran than they are to independent individualist theology. Some of the groups, purportedly encouraging independent research, instead offer or push only their organization's current particular astrology and magic as well as other religious beliefs and practices as based more or less directly upon the ancient practices of their namesake groups.

The Sabian Assembly 1 founded by Marc Edmund Jones is nominally one such group, albeit specifically non-religious in nature, which is perhaps confusingly named, since its main interests as a special-studies group are in the Bible together with philosophy and the essential occult concepts that underlie a relatively modern form of cabalistic thought.

Another group having an orientation that is divergent from that of the Sabian Assembly is the 'Sabaean Religious Order'. Although neglecting the Budasaf independent rational theist's Noachian path, having a somewhat more polytheistic orientation, and even confusing "Shin" Sabaeans with "Saad" Sabians is The Sabaean Religious Order, they have grasped however that Sabi'anism per se revolves around astrological angelology and despite shortcomings seem to manifest the path of Sabiah Mushrikun.
