"Planetary Glyphs and Their Meanings"
Circle is Spirit, Semicircle is Soul and the Cross is Matter

by Steven Clair


Sun- The Circle (Spirit) with a Dot in its' center. The Circle (Spirit) is the symbol of infinity without beginning or end, the force of Life. The Dot is the point of Light sent forth from the source which it comes. The Dot is the aperture from where the manifest is born from the not yet manifested, man's Diving origin. The Dot is also the creative spark of the Divine which is in each one of us.

Moon- Two Semicircles/Crescents (Soul) create the Moon which reveals the finite and manifested. The Moon absorbs and reflects light from the Sun. The Moon gives form to the Suns' infinite creative energy. Making potential an actuality. Of the two halves of the circle or Semicircles (Soul) which makeup the Moon, one is the Divine Consciousness and the other is the Human Consciousness. This joining creates the personality and represents all that is receptive like: instincts, feelings, emotions and subconscious.

Mercury- The Semicircle (Soul) on a Circle (Spirit) upon a Cross (Matter). Mercury's symbol represents active intelligence. Semicircle (Soul) is the higher mind and inspirational things. Cross (Matter) is earth bound activities, relationship of the rational mind to its surroundings. Circle (Spirit) is the source of energy which gives life to the mind. It receives impulses and information from two directions, the semicircle (Soul) and the cross (Matter). Mercury can function in 2 broad categories: the imitator and the genius.

Venus- The Circle (Spirit) upon the Cross (Matter). The Circle (Spirit) is inspiring the Cross (Matter) to perfect its' forms of expression. Higher aspirations and desires (Spirit) over the material and sensual desires of Earth (Matter).

Mars- Here we have the reverse of Venus. Ancient symbol is a Cross (Matter) on a Circle (Spirit). The more modern symbol has shifted it slightly. Here is a tendency for the flesh (Matter) to win out over higher aspirations (Spirit). Needs of the individual become more important than the needs of Mankind. In its' highest aspect it can show emergence of new forms of self-expression that result from the interplay between Spirit and Matter.

Jupiter- Semicircle (Soul) rising above the Cross (Matter). Here the Soul has triumphed over its' earthly experiences, obtaining through these experiences the wisdom of Universal Law as it applies to earthly life. Man is liberated from his personal and restrictive attitudes so that he can act unfettered and impartially directly out of and from his understanding of Truth.

Saturn- Cross (Matter) rising over the Semicircle (Soul). Material gain and power over the Soul is the key here. This makes us think about Satan the Tempter. Here lays the dangers of the egocentric personality. Saturn is the bridge or the connector from the inner planets (Mercury, Venus & Mars) of the personal self to the transpersonal planets (Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) of universal consciousness.

Uranus- Two Semicircles (Soul) connected by Cross (Matter) rising from Circle (Spirit). This is the connecting between the Souls of the individual with the Soul of Mankind. These two aspects of the Soul are placed on either side of a Cross (Matter) which join the individual and/or personal consciousness with the greater of Mankind or Collective towards development on Earth (Matter) to aid in Man's higher evolution in Spirit (Circle).

Neptune- Two Semicircles (Soul) pierced by the Cross (Matter). Each prong of the Trident (which there are three), represents something. The first is the physical body and 5 senses. Second is emotional/astral body. The third is mental/causal body. Man is given earthly life experiences so he can elevate these three ones or parts of his being to a more developed level.

Pluto- The newest glyph (P) represents the finder of Pluto (Percival Lowell) and is easier to draw. The original glyph is a Circle (Spirit) which emits its' rays of life which are then encased by the receptive nature of the Semicircle (Soul). These rays descend even further until they reach and manifest in the material plane represented by the Cross (Matter) this is the Involutionary Process. Just like our own spiritual process this process takes place in both directions, referred to Involution and Evolution. With an Evolutionary Process the physical life/Matter (Cross) causes awakening in consciousness which then becomes assimilated into the Soul (Semicircle) then transmuted to Spirit (Circle) through the ethers to be integrated.
