Flag of Hercules the Strong Man and Ophiuchus the Healer

Hercules & Ophiuchus
The Strong Man and The Medicine Man 


Hercules and Ophiuchus are the proverbial match of Brawn and Brains.  They are men who have traveled far and accomplished much.  Both are miracle workers in their own right, have wrested with serpents, and fought the good fight with Death.

Their constellations are fairly big and their Celestial Longitudes match, since they are best visible during June and July - thus their individual Astrological symbols are Gemini and Cancer.  Coincidentally both are rooted to the Northern Galactic Faction and dip into the Milky Way.


 The flag of Hercules is nearly a perfect rainbow.  It is missing indigo and violet. 
 Ophiuchus the Healer is a quasi zodiac sign since the planets pass through him.  Additionally the Celestial Equator runs past his legs. 



Flag of Andromeda the Princess in Peril and Perseus the Hero of High Heaven

Andromeda & Perseus 
The Princess in Peril and The Hero of High Heaven 

The romantic tale of the hero coming to the rescue of a damsel in distress has been told in all cultures and civilizations.  It is a timeless story form long, long ago and far, far away.  Retold for countless millennia as night follows day.  From Mario and Princess Peach unto Superman and Lois Lane, the list is endless and surely more heroes are sure to come.

 Andromeda the Princess in Peril is seen in the Northern Skies, bur ironically she is grounded to the Southern Galactic Team.  Furthermore, the Princess is the home to our nearest galactic neighbor - the Andromeda Galaxy.  
Perseus the Hero of High Heaven completely crosses the Milky Way.  This makes senses as a hero must be willing to travel far and away, to find his path. 

Flag for Orion the Hunter and Bootes the Herdsman

Orion & Bootes
The Hunter & The Herdsman

The Hunter and Herdsman are ancient occupations, before the rise of any written word.  These occupations are the economic forefathers of modern man whence Astrology and Astronomy were one in the same.

So too, once upon a time was the Wall Street Trader and Family Farmer united as one occupation.  Business traders and shepherds are still united in manipulating the matter of the universe for maximum profit, but have changed much in the manner of doing so.      

But in the conventional sense comparing these constellations, the Hunter must track his free and wild prey using stealth, patience, and wit to gain his prize.   While the herdsman must use love and vigilance to keep his domesticated and imprisoned prey safe.  


 The flag for Bootes the Herdsman is colourful due its wide range from the equatorial 00s region unto the 50s.   The Herdsman fills up the Northern Sky and is rooted to the Northern Galactic Region. 

The flag of Orion the Hunter has the equatorial stripe, since he crosses the Celestial Equator.  Orion is rooted to the Southern Galactic Region but dips his arm into the Milky Way Galaxy.

Flag of Cepheus the King and Cassiopeia the Queen

Cepheus and Cassiopeia 
The King and The Queen

Like a good hand in a game of cards, it's good have a King or Queen.  Likewise the Night Sky must have King and Queen in the pantheon.  In this case Cepheus the King matches up with Cassiopeia the Queen.  The purpose of this post is to show that each constellation has a cosmic harmonious partner.  In this case the Northern Skies is where the King meets his Queen.

 The flag of Cassiopeia is similar to the king via a violet, indigo, and blue band.  The Queen of the Heavens completely crosses the Milky Way to earn a 'traffic light' colouration on her longitudinal axis, which means she is best viewed during the months of Libra to Sagittarius - October to December. 
The flag of Cepheus the King crosses in the northern polar 80s celestial latitude.  Subsequently the flag has a black stripe along the top, which causes his longitudinal band to shift from black to navy blue.  The King also touches the Milky Way but does not cross it completely.  The King of the Cosmic Sphere is best viewed during the months of Leo to Pisces.

Constellation flags of Lacerta the Lizard and Chamaeleon the Shapeshifter

Lacerta & Chamaeleon
The Normal Lizard and The Strange Lizard

Only two reptiles were able to gain official IAU recognition as one of the Elite 88 Official Constellations

Funny thing is that every constellation has a harmonious partner.  Like something of Noah's Ark, we have two crowns, two triangles, two lions, two bears, two snakes, two centaurs, and two lizards.  However the lizards are different species.  Nonetheless a plain lizard matches effectively with the hardly shape shifting chameleon of Madagascar.

The chameleon is not really Earth's best 'chameleon;'  rather the octopus is the best of the best Earthly Chameleons, that happens to live in water.  Unfortunately the octopus's ability to change colours and its shape has not enchanted any storytellers.  Maybe because their ability is so good, consequently it has been undetected to mainstream consciousness?  Instead its eight arms is what gets artists and storytellers buzzing.  


Both types of lizards are rooted to the Southern Galactic Team, but Lacerta the Lizard crosses into the Milky Way in the Northern Skies. The colours of Lacerta's Flag includes blue, green and yellow. 
Chamaeleon the Shapeshifter crosses in the lowest of low in the southern 80s so its celestial longitudinal band is navy blue, since it has black in the field.  The Astrological Icon coincidentally has a 'shape shifting ability' as it can be read two ways: either as the body of this lizard looking towards the hoist with its tail curled under, or as an open mouth with its long tongue stretched in curl.   

Flag for Cygnus the Swan and Grus the Crane

Cygnus & Grus
The Swan and The Crane

The two most graceful birds of the Constellations that exude an elegance are linked and revealed to the public for the first time as 'Fraternal Constellations.'  Some birds are noisy, loud, annoying, or fearsome.  But the presence put forth by these birds illustrates that elegance is not just a human quality.

The Swan and Crane are water foul, but yet reflect the docile spirit of heaven.  They are something more than a humble duck, but of free flowing avian royalty.

 Cygnus the Swan is a double agent that touches base with the Northern and Southern Galactic factions, completely crossing the Milky Way.  Thus it has the traffic light pattern on its Celestial Longitude axis.  The Swan is best seen in August and September.

Grus the Crane is attached to the Southern Skies and Southern Galactic Pole.


Flags for Cetus the Whale and Delphinus the Dolphin

Cetus & Delphinus
The Whale and The Dolphin

The constellations of the Whale and Dolphin match in a cosmic kind of way.  Each name of the Constellations harmonize with a special partner.  In this case two air breathing 'fish' are branded together as 'Fraternal Constellations.'  Astronomers had a tendency to name things in pairs, on a subconscious level.

Both flags are in the Equatorial region of the Celestial Sphere, thus both get white stripes.  Cetus's territory actually crosses the Cosmic Equator.  Both cetaceans are rooted to Southern Galactic Sphere allied to Andromeda Galaxy.  

 The flag of Cetus the Whale has two white stripes since it completely crosses both the north and south 10s field.
The Heavenly Dolphin crosses into the Milky Way, so its Astrological Totem is white.  The totem is a fused Greek Letter D (Delta) and Roman Letter D, which coincidentally looks like a dolphin's dorsal fin breaking the water at a certain angle. Although visible in the Northern Skies, Delphinus is rooted to the Southern Galactic Pole.

Flags for Lupus the Wolf and Lynx the Bobcat

Lupus & Lynx
The Wolf and The Bobcat

Cats and dogs are the perfect example of Yin and Yang, like night and day or bitter and sweet.   Likewise the Lynx and the Wolf are joined as Constellation Partners that echo of cats and dogs.  In this order the older cousins of cats and dogs who were never tamed by man and woman are honored in the night sky. 

You can combine dogs and wolves, since dogs are domesticated wolves.  Likewise you can combine cats with lynxes since cats are domesticated bobcats/lynxes.  There is a slight difference between the lynx and bobcat, but the bottom line is that cats are closely related to both of these wild cats.

Both Lynx the Wildcat and Lupus the Wolf are rooted to the Northern Galactic Pole.  However The Wolf roams in the Southern Skies, while the Wildcat pounces along in the Northern Skies.

 The flag of Lupus the Wolf uses the colours yellow, green, and blue.  Since the Wolf steps into the Milky Way its Astrological Icon is white.

Lynx has the same field colours as the wolf but in a different order and an extra stripe of indigo since it reaches into 60s.

Flags of Canis Major and Canis Minor - The Big Dog and Little Dog

Canis Major & Canis Minor
The Big Dog and The Little Dog

Once again duality strikes a chord amongst the heavens.  Every constellation has a particular harmonious partner.  In this case The Big Dog and Little Dog match up.  Both dogs are loyal to their respective Northern and Southern heavens, Northern and Southern Galactic poles, and cross over into the Milky Way.

 The flag of Canis Major the Greater Dog uses the colours red, orange, and yellow on its field.  It is rooted to the 'Southern' Galactic Faction-with M87 and Southern Skies.

In balance the flag of Canis Minor the Lesser Dog uses the colours red, white, and equatorial band.  Although not as big a Canis Major, the smaller dog rests on the equator.  But she is rooted to the northern skies and 'Northern' Galactic Faction with Andromeda Galaxy.

Flags of the Constellations for Ursa Major and Ursa Minor

Ursa Major & Ursa Minor
The Great Bear and Little Bear - or - The Big Dipper and Little Dipper

When they were naming the constellations they couldn't help but apply the Yin-Yang duality theme, it happens a lot.  In any case each constellation has a particular partner that matches on some harmonious level.  I suppose there was need for some kind of Cosmic Harmony, otherwise the stars may have fallen out of order.  In this case the Ursa Major the Great Bear matches up harmoniously with Ursa Minor the Little Bear.

 Both bears are partisan to the Northern Skies and matched to the 'Northern' Galactic Faction that is facing the Super Cluster Capitol on the Golden Grain of Virgo - M87.  You can think of the Little Bear and Big Bear as Serbia and Russia. 


The flag of Ursa Major covers many bands from the 20s all the up to the 70s, so the colours orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet are present.

 The flag of Ursa Minor covers fewer degrees on the Celestial Globe, but it taps the 80s, thus is gets a black band. It is also the keeper of the North Star with its tail.

Constellation flags of Vela the Sails and Carina the Keel

Vela & Keel
The Sails and The Keel

Two of the most important parts to ship are the sails and the keel.  These essential parts of a sailing ship match up in a harmonious way. 

Each constellation is dedicated to the part of the ship that interacts with opposite elements that allow the vessel to move.  The Keel makes deepest contact with the water, while the sails make highest contact with the air. 

Both Constellations make contact with Milky Way Galaxy.  Vela the Sails crosses into both Galactic Spheres, while the Carina the Keel is rooted to the Southern Galactic Side and merging into the Milky Way Galaxy.

 The flag of Vela the Sails uses the colours red, green, and blue on its field. 
The flag of Carina the Keel uses the colours blue, indigo, and violet on the field.

Flags for the Constellations of Horologium the Pendulum Clock and Reticulum the Spatial Grid

Horologium & Reticulum
The Pendulum Clock and Spatial Gird


Space-Time is one of their weird dimensions of Outer Space, and not to mention regular mundane space.  Thus the Clock and Spatial Grid as meta-perceptual concepts match up harmoniously.  Science only has a simple grapple on these phenomena, but talented poets and writers have become masters of time and space by having their spirit transcending the ages across space and time. 

Reticulum the Network is much like the internet, brain, or natural connectivity between all things.  Likewise time is that invisible yet malleable material intimately ingrained in space, whether it be outer space or the space in your atoms.  Consequently they pair up nicely in this Constellation Series of paired up regions of the Night's Sky.

Coincidentally modern astronomers have interlinked these constellations as the long arm of the Cosmic Clock crosses through the Heavenly Network of Reticulum, just look at any modern astronomy book and the 'lines' of Horologium always pass through Reticulum.  It must, since space and time are interlinked.



 The flag of Horolgium the Pendulum Clock uses the colours green, blue, indigo, and violet.  The symbol for the Clock is long arm tied to the star key that is often found in a phone. It also honors the old cogs and crankshafts of the ancient pr-digital time pieces.
The symbol of Reticulum the Network is the hash tag, also known as the pound, also known as the tic tac toe sign.


Constellation flag of Ara the Altar and the Crux the Southern Cross

Ara & Crux
The Altar and Southern Cross

Ara the Altar and Crux the Southern Cross are gateways to the spiritual dimension.  The cross was originally a method of execution, likewise ancient man often used the altar to execute animals and sometimes people for the Gods and God.  In this post, here they are bound together as the spiritual holy totems of the night's sky.  But to most astronomers they are simply a region in the sky.  Coincidentally they both have regions in the Milky Way Galaxy.  Crux the Southern Cross resides totally in the Milky Way, thus is non-partisan.  Ara is just slightly tilted towards the Southern Galactic Side, but mostly resides in the Middle Way Milky Way Galaxy Path.


 The Southern Cross is visible best during the month of April, coincidentally near Easter. 

The Altar is best viewed during the months of June and July in the Southern Skies.








Flags for the Constellations Lyra the Lyre and Pictor the Easel

Lyra & Pictor
The Lyre and The Easel

Lyra the Lyre and Pictor the Easel illustrate the two most basic forms of art: music and pictures.  To be specific they remind us of the cosmic melodies and vibrant colours that can be found all across the Universe. 

The flag of Lyra the Lyre completely crosses the northern 30 degrees sector.  The Lyre is doubly North-bound as it is rooted the Northern Heavens and Northern Galactic Pole.  However it crosses into the 'Monkey in the Middle' Milky Way Zone. 
The flag of Pictor the Easel is bound to the Southern Heavens and also rooted to Southern Galactic Faction. 

Constellation flag for Scutum the Shield and Sagitta the Arrow

Scutum & Sagitta
The Shield and The Arrow

Scutum and Sagitta are a union of objects that defend and offend in times of war, crime, or urgency.  Scutum the Shield and Sagitta the Arrow are also non-partisian on the Galactic Sphere, since they reside in the Milky Way Galaxy.  The Cosmic Arrow and Heavenly Shield do not completely cross a sector of ten thus they both have central stripes. 

 The flag for Sagitta the Arrow has a field of orange and red with a stripe of red and orange.  Best seen during the month August and July, it is in the heart of the Milky Way, but allied to the Northern Skies.
The flag for Scutum the Shield has a similar field but it is white and red.  It is best seen during the month of March, thus a Pisces sign.  But Pieces is tilted towards the Southern Skies. 

Sculptor the Sculpture and Caelum the Chisel Constellation Flags

Sculptor & Caelum
The Sculpture and The Chisel

The Constellations of The Cosmic Sculpture and The Heavenly Chisel are united in a Kingdom of Names like creator and the created.  Somewhat related to the secondary symbols of Freemasonry it is the transformation of a plain rough textured substance into a finely chiseled work of art or matter of importance.  Sculptor and Caelum match like pen to a message, paintbrush to picture, guitar pic to melody, spatula to meal, camera to movie, scalpel to healed patient, video game controller to beaten game, or soon to be created wizards digital wand to grand Oz-like illusion. 

 The flag of Caelum the Chisel crosses all of the 40s, thus a thick green bar.  It partially dips in to the 30s for a top yellow stripe, and the 50s for a bottom blue stripe. 
 The flag of Sculptor the Sculpture only partially filly the 30s and 40s lines of latitude of the Southern Celestial Skies, thus it has a counter charge stripe patter in the middle. 

Antila the Air Pump and Fornax the Furnace

Antila & Fornax
The Air Pump and The Furnace

The thinkers of the Rennaisance allowed mankind to develop new mastery over fire and air.  More than just sauvy manipulation, humans develloped a sharper mathematical understanding upon the elements beyond the poetic and spirit realm.  Rather the logical center of mind became witness to the birth of modern science which unleashed powerful tools of creation and weapons of mass destruction. Science would also hijack and occult the ancient and romantic notion of the "Elements" for its own mysterious perogatives.

Here the Furnace and Air Pump are matched as they represent a potent mastery over the elemental forces of Fire and Air.  Their flags are on similar celestial latitudes, but the Air Pump just nibbles in the 50s.

 Notice the hidden letter A in the symbol for Antila the Air Pump? 
 Can you find the hidden F in the symbol for the Furance?  Luckily both the Greek and English word begin with the letter F. 

Sextans the Star-Compass and Octans the Navigator's Star Compass

Sextans and Octans
The Sextant Star Compass and The Octant Navigator's Star Compass

Once again another harmonious pair was placed into the heaves by our ancestors, or cousins as it may be for a good majority of world without any European Ancestors.  Nonetheless these two providential pairs align in more than one way - in that 'Tri-Fecta Triple Crown Way.'

1. First they are basically the same thing, a navigator's star compass.

2. Second they are perpendicular to each other, as the Sextant is on the Equator while the Octant is on the South Pole.

3. Finally they are on opposite Galactic Factions; Sextant is on North Galactic - M-87 Galactic Supercluster Capitol Side while Octant is on the Southern Galactic - Neighbor Andromeda Galaxy Side.

 Sextans crosses the Equator so it gets the Equator Stripe, but it only dominates the southern equatorial latitude.  Subsequently the northern one's degree's latitude is just a stripe while the southern ones degree's celestial latitude is much thicker.  Likewise Sextans just crosses the southern 10s, so it gets a bottom red stripe.



 Sextans astrological symbol has three inner spaces which is halfway to six, that reflects the Six in Sextant's name.  Likewise, Octans has four inner spaces which is half way to eight, that reflect the Eight in Octant's name as with the eight legged fish - the Octopus.

 Octans crosses all the 80s region of the Celestial South Pole, and just reaches slightly into the southern 70s.  The Southern Star has eight points, in honor of the "Eighth of a Wheel Star Compass." 

Flags of Microscopium the Microscope and Telescopium the Telescope

Microscopium & Telescopium
The Microscope and The Telescope 

For most of written human history, we had no idea of the tiny universe of animals living all around us and in our tears and ears, nor did we understand that the sun is really a star and that others stars are suns.  

But with the invention of the Microscope and Telescope the hidden formerly invisible kingdoms of amazingly small animals and plants became visible.  Likewise the borders of our universe expanded, we would no longer perceive the planets as stars.

We became simultaneously giants and tiny creatures.  Super-giants relative to the animals that live in the drops of morning dew, and paradoxically tiny creatures relative to expanded borders of the known Universe.

"Five stars transformed into Planets that Wondered, and Earth transformed into a Wandering Star. "

So radical was this shift in our perception of reality, we now take it for granted today.  Much of this wonder shift in consciousness was due to our ability to improve our vision by creating 'magical glasses' constructed on sound mathematical principles that exposed these hidden worlds of wonder - the telescope and microscope. 

 The flag of Microscopium the Microscope has  bands of blue, green, and yellow.  Green is the thicker since Microscopium completely crosses all of the 40s Celestial Latitude.  Since The Cosmic Microscope partially fills the 30s and 50s it gets a smaller yellow band and smaller blue band. 
The flag of Telescopium uses the colours of blue and indigo to indicate its visibility along the 50s and 60s degree's celestial latitudes.  Since The Heavenly Telescope does not dominate a band, the centrally placed stripes are present.






By providence these constellations are at one of the Celestial Four Corners, as it is on Earth.  We have the American four corners of Utah-Colorado-Arizona-New Mexico or Canadian four corners of North West Territories-Nunavut-Manitoba-Saskatchewan.

But the Celestial Four Corners are composed of the Microscopium-Sagittarius-Telescopium-Indus.  On our Celestial Globe Microscopium is diametrically opposed to Telescopium as are Utah-to-Arizona or rather North West Territoires-to-Manitoba.  

Triangulum the Right Triangle and Triangulum Australe the Southern Equalateral Triangle

Triangulum and Triangulum Australe
The Right Triangle & Southern Triangle 


Coincidentally there are two constellations dedicated to the triangle.  Sorry no circles, hexagons, rectangles, trapezoids or any other type of shapes need apply.   A rhombus almost made in, but the astronomers couldn't dig the funky four corners, so it was given a pink slip.

So why are triangles so important to astronomers?  Because they are a fundamental shape that allows scientists to calculate distances with shadows and starlight.  Basically all other shapes can be broken down into triangles, which lead to the "Advanced Study of the Triangles" aka Trigonometry.  Long story short, the careful study of triangles allowed mankind to sail around the world.

 The Northern Triangle has its stars in the general shape of Right Triangle.  But it simply goes by the name Triangulum the Triangle.  Triangulum Australe the Southern Triangle is in the general shape of an Equilateral Triangle.   


 Triangulum the Triangulum Australe is the rarest of Constellations as it can be found in one band on the Southern 50 degrees Latitude of the Celestial Globe.  Consequently it only has one colour - indigo.  It is best visible during the July, thus the Cancer sign.  The downward pointing triangle clues us in that it is the Southern Triangle of 50 degrees south.  Lastly since it is embedded in the Milky Way it has a yellow coloured symbols.

The flag Triangulum the Triangle is composed of the colours yellow and orange.  Since the Triangle does not completely dominate a band it has two central overlapping stripes.  Triangle is best viewed during the month of November.  Although it is considered the 'northern' triangle since in the Northern Skies, Triangle is a part of the Southern Galactic Cluster.  Consequently the Astrological icons are green. 

Our solar system is a wacky planet like Uranus.  Our system's planets orbit the Milky Way Black hole at an extreme angle 'out of tilt' with direction of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Flag of the Draco the Dragon and Phoenix the Firebrid - The Dragon and Phoenix

Draco & Phoenix
The Dragon and The Firebird

The next harmonious pair is the mythical Phoenix and Dragon.  Nearly every culture has a legend about dragons and some kind of mystical bird with Magical powers.  Likewise both mystical creatures are associated with fire.  The Dragon Breathes fire while the Phoenix rises from the ashes of a fire.  It is kind of fighting fire with fire.

On one last modest level, both their names in 'English' have silly subs for the initial sounds. Legend has it, if you spell Dragon with a natural J or Phoenix with an F, you'll attract the unwanted attention of angry dragons and territorial phoenixes.

Interestingly both constellations are on opposite teams of our Galactic Disk.  Draco is allied with the Galactic Super Cluster Capitol Galaxy M-87, within Virgo's Golden Grain.  On the other hand, Phoenix is on Andromeda's side with a clear view to our closest Galactic Twin - Andromeda Galaxy.



The flag of the Draco the Dragon is composed of several colours: black, violet, indigo, blue, green, white, red, and navy blue. The colours denote the celestial latitude (Declination).  Since the Dragon passes into the 80 degree celestial polar regions, its time chart is navy blue and it has black stripe up top. 



The flag of Phoenix the Firebird is composed of the colours yellow, green, blue, black, and white.  Since it is best visible during the months of October and November the signs of Libra and Scorpio are present. 
 
Note that the Dragon and Phoenix is a popular dish in American-Chinese Restaurants.  It is usually composed of chicken and shrimp, most often General Tso's Chicken and Sweet and South Shrimp.  You can imagine the shrimp looking like little water dragons while the chicken is the distant relative of the phoenix.  

The colours indicate the celestial latitude while the zodiac signs tell us the celestial longitude.  The Celestial Sphere is basically the cosmos in a ball.  You have to step outside the universe to understand its dynamics.  It's similar to globe but puts the universe in a sphere. 



Flag of Norma the Set Square and Circinus the Drawing-Compass

 Norma & Circinus
The Set Square and The Drawing-Compass

The names of the Constellations in the Night's Sky are not so random.  An emergent pattern can be discerned when they are put in a certain order like Yin and Yang as in the Eastern Traditions or rather like Eve and Adam as it is in the Western Traditions, respectively.  Note that Yin is to Eve as Adam is to Yang.

The Constellations harmoniously pair up in an uncanny and amazing way.  They illustrate a kind of Cosmic Symmetry that is often found in Masonic Imagery.  In fact there are two constellations dedicated to the two iconic symbols of Free Masonry: the drawing-compass and square level.  Coincidentally both constellations reside in the Milky Way Galaxy and are 'non-partisan' on a Galactic Scale.  Since they are located in the Milky Way their symbols are white sandwiched between yellow astrological symbols.

 The main stars for Norma the Set Square are along its northern borders.  The symbols for Gemini indicate that it is best viewed during the month of June.  Note a good way to remember the Constellation of the Set Square's Greek name is to think of Norm from This Old House, who was a carpenter.  Thus Norm could often be seen using a Norma on PBS. 
 The stars that make up the constellation of Circirnus the Drawing-Compass are best seen during the months of May and June ergo the symbols of Taurus and Gemini. 







Flag of the Corvus the Crow and Columba the Dove

 Corvus & Columba
The Crow and The Dove

This is the first part of the Constellation Flags Series, beginning with Corvus the Crow and Columba the Dove.  The uncanny aspect of the 88 constellations is that they pair up, in a manner like Yin and Yang. 

In this case the Constellations of the Crow and Dove form a special relationship. They were the only non-sacramental animals mentioned on Noah's Ark, and were the key messengers that told Noah that the flood had subsided.  They are symbols of light to dark and mysterious to the mundane.  The crow is dark and mysterious, while the dove is light and mundane.  The temperament of the crow and dove also differ like night and day.  Both are rather common animals, but the bird song of the crow is described as a spine tingling crackle while the Dove speech is thought of as a peaceful coo. 



Constellation Flag of Corvus the Crow

Constellation Flag of Columba the Dove

The flag of Corvus the Crow uses the colours red, orange, and black.  In between the Aries symbol is the Astrological Symbol for Corvus, because it is best visible during April.


The flag of Columba the Dove uses the colours orange, yellow, and green.  Like the flag above the black stars show some of the brightest stars in this Constellation.  The Peace Sign has been chosen as the Astrological Symbol of Columba the Dove.

The Tie - the fashionable vexilloid

It'd be kinda' odd to wear a flag, but the next best thing is the tie, which traces it's origins to Croatia, or maybe Serbia?  One thing for sure is that ties do not originate from Thailand.  Croatia, like Western Europe, got into the habit of making wearable flags important icons, but flapping flags originally came from the East, just like Serbia's orientation.

So no matter, in this picture we have three American Men in Black ties.  You can't see me, but I'm that imaginary glimmer in my Grandfather's eyes.

These architects are at the drawing board of creating something beautiful, functional, and only to be known to the Kingdom of Men and Above.

Suffice it to say, when things are done the right way with the purest intention - miracles start to happen.
