I love the image of the three-dimensional star...it must be possible for someone techie to model it on a computer.
I think the "South node" symbolises we let go of in this lifetime? Kind of like the Sabian Symbol before the one of the "true" degree of our signs? Or is it different in Australia - is it the North node that represents the past in the Southern Hemisphere?
I like those symbols of yours, Marina. And a geologist geophysicist represented by a diamond - wonderful!! (a bit like my rabbi with his books and manuscripts - I studied history and law, and still have these in me...lol)
I was being optimistic in my first star. It actually shows what is entering my life, what I need to turn to....
My second 5-point star for my sun - the one representing what I am living through now, is this:
Pisces 13: A Sword, Used In Many Battles, Is Now in a Museum
Taurus 25: A Large Well-Kept Public Park
Leo 7: The Wonders of the Constellations of Stars in the Night Sky
Libra 19: A Gang of Robbers in Hiding
Capricorn 1: An Indian Chief Claims Recognition and Power From the Assembled Tribe
The first Symbol- the sword used in many battles now in a museum - is very relevant, and I see it directly linked to the last Symbol in my first 5-pointed star - the gothic stained glass window damaged by war. The Sword has to be put in a museum because the warrior wielding it has been damaged by war...yes. This is a struggle I am conducting right now in my life. I think - if reincarnation exists - I was a warrior - a soldier - in a previous life. And I think I must have been a commander because I have that in me
- Maybe that is why in this life I am trying to help the victims of war? except a part of me has become a "victim" (at least internally) - the wounded healer. It is strange that both those Symbols refer to the past (the Museum, the Gothic Church).
Now the large well-kept park - love of ordered open spaces -I like gardens and parks, yes. But I wonder if it does not also refer to the order one also has in an army? A disciplined soldier is like a human version of a "large well-kept park". I don't know...it also evokes peace. So peace also fills my background. Organisation over romance (which is the next symbol - the one I need to bring into my life). I have not much time for organisation in my leasure time, that's certain, though I appreciate the grace and beauty of a well-tended park.
The next one - the night sky constellations - I love space and the sky - an enduring fascination I was born with. I feel at home in the universe, not dwarfed, but at one. Perhaps that is what I learnt, from past contemplation?
Gangs of Robbers...now what could that be? my self-sabotaging tendencies, maybe? That rings a bell!
Finally, the indian chief: I see that linked to the sword used in many battles - here is my "authority", the way, also, I find people turning to me for leadership (which I sometimes assume, and sometimes not). It could also show my own issues with authority.
What I am noticing is the strong masculine trend in the second star symbols (representing what I am working with fully now) - all the more obvious set next to the more feminine (or more aptly, gender-balanced) first star, representing what I need to turn to, to bring into my life. In some cases, I already have, I think, but not in all. Interesting, because recently in a self-development workshop a lot of this ex-warrior stuff came out, and the necessity for me to embrace my Venusian side (represented by in the first 5-pointed star by Pisces 14 - the woman in the fox fur - and by Taurus 26 - the Spaniard serenading his senorita). One thing I struggle with is the feeling that be being feminine - I mean not only in my outer expression (which I am) but inside, in my essence and my behaviour with men - I weaken myself. This is a major lesson I need to learn, I think. I keep getting the Strength card around that very subject....
The first star represents my Mercury placement exactly, which is a degree forward from my sun. So my expression seems to be ahead of my character!
