Air What is Symbology and Why is it in the Program? Year 1 Last Updated: May 18 2021 Introduction ψ A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols extend knowledge by creating linkages between simple concepts and complex experiences and is meant to be used as a communication and information processing system. Symbols take any form such as letters, words, sounds, gestures, ideas, or visual images and are used to convey ideas and beliefs between two or more systems. Numerals are symbols for numbers for example the variable 'x', in a mathematical equation, may symbolize the position of a particle in space. The letters of an alphabet may be symbols for certain phonemes; and personal names are symbols representing character or the nature of an individual or thing. An example can be seen in the Tarot deck the first card of the Major Arcana (mysteries) is the Fool Card. It symbolises the start of beginning of an event that can be a person, place, thing, or action. This image is symbolic of the journey that everyone goes through life many times in their lives and after death. The symbology is not only the image of the person, but it is every aspect of the card. The number on top is valuable information as well as the background of the Sun and yellow sky next to a body of water (perhaps the ocean). And the rocky cliffs through which the fool travels give us data. The name of the card The Fool also contains information. So, then the symbology of this cards is everything that meets the eye and more. The study of symbols is called semiotics. In an organized collection of symbols, the symbols form the legend, or set of instructions for understanding. Semiotics is a subject that we will cover more extensively in the course. So, you can see that symbols form an important part of communications between human systems. It can also be used to communicate to other types of symbols those between humans and nature,… -
Air Many people believe that astrology only concerns the sun. This is due to the Western world view of astrology, which has taken on the form of Zodiac horoscopes. However, in truth the study of astrology goes well beyond sun signs. In the Eastern world, such as in China and India, the moon is actually the primary consideration in studies of astrology. The moon signs and cycles are used to determine the best time for activities, and is a part of daily life. This may seem backward to some, but actually results in more accurate predictions in many cases than Western astrology can ascertain. The moon plays a large role in astrology and astrological phenomena. The position and phase of the moon influences the other aspects of astrology, including sun signs and planetary movements. In fact, the moon influences other aspects of astrology as a whole. Envision that astrology is made up of the study of all of the planets and the sun. The astrological birth chart and the study of how planetary alignments affect sun signs are based on these aspects of astrology. The moon actually influences this overall picture, and can cause certain aspects of astrological phenomena to influence our lives differently than was otherwise predicted. The moon, for the most part, influences our emotions. In certain phases of the moon, the predictions made through the study of astrological phenomena that would otherwise occur fail to happen, because our emotions do not produce the reactions to the astrological phenomena that would normally be expected. In other phases of the moon, astrological phenomena of planetary alignments and their effect on the Zodiac sun signs are not altered from their original reading. The influence of the moon on the Zodiac is a study in and of itself. When you are aware of your sun sign, you can use information about the cycles of the moon and the moon signs to determine the best time to make decisions or avoid certain activities.
