12/19/2023 0 Comments Zodiac glyphs acrylic paintingSimilar to a self-closing Cancerian in personality. The glyph for Cancer shows the emotional life of man, and it has been described as two curving crab claws. Such a personality is not satisfied to acquire something intellectually, they must express what they have learned, verbally to others and often at an unceasing pace. A Geminian is the curious, questioning seekers of knowledge on all levels. According to the Compendium of Astrology Gemini is restless in both body and mind, and if routine grows monotonous are apt to grow fidgety, pencil twirling, toe tapping, finger drumming, or excessive chattering are attempts at alleviating boredom. It also looks like two vertical bars, or can be similar to two temple columns, a path between two poles.This sign is represented by two human beings, and it also looks like the Roman number for two. According to myth and legend it represents the twins Castor and Pollux, made into this constellation. The androgynous nature of this sign is thought to mean it has the capacity for divine wholeness. It can signify a union between matter and spirit, and examining all sides of a situation. The glyph for Gemini represents the duality of existence, and the dual aspect of man’s mental make-up, two-ness and multiplicity, along with all of the various choices available. Push him too far, though, and the Taurus individual can suddenly turn into a raging bull, and once this happens, he will be difficult to calm. Taurus knows his own strength but usually manages situations with dignity and self-control. Like a bull, the Taurus’ personality will almost never stray off track and will stay level no matter what tornadoes surround him. The Ancients saw the bull as a highly erotic and sensual creature, and it rules over our earthly desires. The Taurean glyph is thought to be composed of the Full Moon and this body is most comfortable when placed in this position. At its core, it represents the power of natural resources. Any individual born under the sign of Taurus is often bull-headed, stubborn and immovable. The horns signify the strength, stability and determination of this sign. This symbol is similar to the bull’s head, or the ring of the bull’s nose, and this animal can plough the earth, or can be provoked into dangerous behaviour. The Glyph for Taurus represents unlimited potential as symbolised by the circle, and the feminine principle in the universe shown by the crescent Moon. Aries is the first sign on the zodiacal wheel and emerges from the stars bringing us closer to the divine creative energy. Aries is compared to the caveman or Man in his most masculine, potent and passionate form, depending upon his instincts for survival. On the esoteric level, the symbol stands for upward flow of spirit, and it can also be said to represent the sprouting of a seed, signifying potentiality. Being ruled by the Ram it also looks like its curved horns, symbolising the assertive and thrusting nature of the sign and the ability to meet challenges head on. The Aries glyph has also been described as the eyebrows and nose of a human being. The sign is closely associated with the awakening of energy that follows hibernation. Other interpretations say it is the shooting forth of plant life and appearance of all new forms on every level, all in response to some hidden creative force. Alternatively named The Fountain of Life it rises out of the collective unconscious waters of Pisces. The symbol has also been viewed as a violent force of water representing the identity and consciousness bursting through with a surge of youthful energy washing over the individual in an upward and outward direction. It leads the astrological year, at the time of the equinox, when the year is renewed. The Aries glyph suggests a fountain gushing upwards from a hidden spring, (as indeed the entry of the Sun into Aries the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere when the world of nature bursts into life).
