Aries & Taurus: Symbol Symmetry of the Horned Ungulates


The Aries and Taurus symbols go together like salt and pepper, P's and Q's, ketchup and mustard...just pick any Yin and Yang common match up.  Both represent hoofed animals, ungulates, for power and with horns.


Tauries are a real thing, since these signs are right next to each other.  Thus persons born on or near April 20th, or 4/20, get this odd combo dedicated to these wild versions of the Ox and Sheep.  And note their domesticated versions are a part of the Eastern-Chinese Zodiac, as Year of the Sheep and Year of the Ox.

Coincidentally cows are in second place, in both the Eastern and Western Zodiacs.  The Year of the Ox follows in second, following the first Year of the Rat as does Taurus follow in 2nd as the month of the Ox, following the first sign of Aries.  Coincidence?

Cancer & Aquarius: Symbol Symmetry of H20


The symbols for Cancer and Aquarius harmonize like Yin and Yang.  Reason being, both are made up of repeating twin symbols.  Cancer is a mirror of a six or nine, or rather sixty-nine, while Aquarius is a match of two jagged lines .

Both totems represent the water and are tied to the tides, likewise since today is Moon-day, it is so appropriate. 

The uniting of these icons results in the Aquariancer or Cancequarius symbols.

Capricorn & Leo: Symbol Symmetry of the Beasts



The symbols of Leo and Capricorn are similar due to their unique squiggles.  Both have a circle of sorts.  Additionally Capricorn is an odd sign whose symbol is variable to some degree. There is the 76 version, the cursive N with a loop and then this version with the hooked V, circle and tail.  Which is correct?  Why does the Capricorn get so many variations.  Perhaps there is need to capture the chaos of things?  Capricorn even have several forms from just a plain goat to a sea-goat?


It's the inherent duality of this mysterious mermaid-goat sign.  Also note that the goat is often associated with the dark arts.  But the lion is associated with the Biblical arts.  Even in Narnia the lion is a chosen symbol of God, as well as it is for other nations like the UK, Denmark, Ethiopia and many others.  But the goat is often associated with an anti-Christ. But a goat is still a goat, and goats are more friendly than lions, and give more to society than do lions.  Nonetheless the lion is associated with power and prestige, but most lions see humans as bothersome or lunch.


Union of the squiggly signs with a circle, Caprileo or Leoapricorn.  One is king of the beasts while the other is the beast of the kings.

Sagittarius & Libra: Symbol Symmetry of the Objects


Sagittarius and Libra exhibit symbolic symmetry.  It is not obvious but both are man made items.  If you point Sagittarius straight upwards it's noticeable, but then it will look like an upside down cross.  Likewise if you tilt the balance on the right then Libra will match Sagittarius. And the many balances often have an arrow indicator.

 Another united symbol of the original form, it is a perfect balance where the indicator points straight up.  Librattarius or Sagittarlibra is united form of these associated symbols.

Scorpio & Virgo - Symbol Symmetry of Male and Female

The symbol for Scorpio  and Virgo are similar.  Both are modified letter M's.  Virgo is pure and wholly on the Northern Side of the Milky Way.  Scorpio is mostly on the Northern side but has a tail that dips into the middle Milky Way.



United back to an original form, Scorpigo or Virgorpio represent a union of Yin and Yang.  Or rather male and female essences.  Or better yet, virginal and experienced quantum states of being.  In this era of mixed up gender identities, this rise of this symbol makes so much sense; a mix of the male arrow with the female loop.

Bikini Atoll and Swains Island


It has been a long while since this blog has posted on its creative namesake endeavor, that of Flag Symmetry.  Flag Symmetry is a groovy concept that is reflective of the Eastern notion of the Tao, sometimes called Dao.  But in the West this twinning of flags is reflective of the Western notion of Divine Balance/Architecture as expounded within Freemasonry. 

With the example here, we have the flags of Swains Island and Bikini Atoll as Fraternal Flag Twins or in a rough Latin translation as VEXILLUM FRATERNA GEMINI.

Both places are in the South Pacific and touched by the hands of the United States.  Bikini Atoll is a part of the Marshall Islands.  But the Marshall Islands are in a Compact Free Association with the United States, making it directly tied the Congress of the United States.  Likewise Swains Island is another part another Outer Rim of Territories of the United States which is tied to American Samoa. 


Thus this pairing bonds two nations on the Outer Rim of the USA on two ends: via the Compact Free Association and Outer National Territory of American Samoa.  Coincidentally both have banners that are highly reflective of the US federal flag with 13 stripes of red and white, but differing by canton design.  Swains has a bird in the canton while Bikini has unique star pattern and words written upon some of the white stripes.
