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.

Transworld Logo - Upside Down 2013

 

The movie Upside Down 2013, was unique take on love and life.  Of vexillological interest is all present fictional corporation of Transworld.   Definitely different movie, that is somewhere art show and the other sci-fi love tale. 

Even the security checkpoint of this weird world uses a Transworld kind of logo.








Here the new recruit to Transworld is looking at a gift.  You can see several logos of the Transworld corp. in the background. 

Nation or Hour of Aum Flag

The nation of Aum or Ohm is a meditative state.  Any person of any faith or lack of it can enter it.  If you see 3:33 AM or 3:33 PM then you are being called, somewhat like Harry Potter was, unto the academy of peace or something like that.

The Aum symbol is a funky number three twisted with a kind of magic, whose numerology in the West is enchanting upon its own nature.

Flag in The Village - 2004 by M. Night Shyamalan

The Village 2004 made effective use of flags.  In particular a solid earthy yellow flag is flown along the border of the property.  It is considered a safe colour, that gives a little immunity form the others they must never speak of.  The Village is beautiful movie that captures the feels of suburban Pennsylvania.  Shyamalan is known for his slight of perception, his reveals allow people to enjoy his films on a second viewing, which seem like a different movie, since you are in the know and can see why characters behave the way the do. 

Here a young man looks as the border of the village.  Pondering the beings and colours that live on the other side, and why the bright colour red is forbidden.

A white community flag can be seen with our blind heroine.  She is standing just a little off the ways from the group.
