Symbol Code: SM000185 Symbol Name: Hourglass (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | (Time): The hourglass is another emblem of time, although hidden within is the promise of life- because the hourglass is reversible, it held within a promise of resurrection, a symbolism not lost on everyone- all of these emblems later became symbols of resurrection to Freemasons and Rosicrucians who grasped their true ancient meanings.

Symbol Code: SM000186 Symbol Name: Bell Symbolism (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | (Time): I love the symbolism of bells - particularly during the winter solstice because it chimes out the importance of clarity. Bells ringing on a crisp Christmas night can serve as a meditative trigger that can intone our awareness into higher realms of pure potential. Bells are also ancient symbols of protection and ringing them have long been considered a way to ward off negativity. To our ancestral minds, the very shape of the bell is reminiscent to dome of heaven. In Christianity the ringing of a bell is a sacred announcement to the presence of Christ at mass. In Buddhism, the sounding of a bell is the resonance of pure wisdom - a tonal symbol of perfect harmony & clarity. In Asian thought the bell is also a harmonic symbol - the bell itself considered female, the clapper or pendulum within the bell is male. The two working as one to create a beautiful tone is symbolic of the union between male and female (yin and yang) to create perfect cooperation and balance.

Symbol Code: SM000187 Symbol Name: Quincunx (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | (Time): An arrangement of five figures within a square. Historically, it has infused the worlds of nature, man and the stars. As an ancient alchemy symbol, it represents the whole being more than the sum of its parts. In the alchemical mineral world, the quincunx occurs in the formation of metals, in atomic structures. Additionally the quincunx represents (wo)man's ability to cross from four to five his/her nature. Meaning we all possess the four levels of physical matter (stone, plant, animal, man) and we are able to ascend from these four elements to the final fifth - which is godlike or enlightened stature.

Symbol Code: SM000903 Symbol Name: Star of David (Magen David, Shield of David) (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | The Star of David is the primary modern emblem of the Jewish religion. How it came to be such is a matter of some debate. Legend has it that the emblem was used by the Biblical King David (hence the name Magen David, or “shield of David”). In reality, it was not associated specifically with the faith until the middle ages, when it began to appear on flags, tombstones, and synagogue decorations. It is probably not coincidental that the symbol was important to the flourishing kabbalistic tradition of the same time period. Kabbalistically, the hexagram symbolizes the six directions of space, the divine union of male and female energy, and the four elements. The Star of David is also important in the Rastafarian and Messianic Christian faiths.

Symbol Code: SM000904 Symbol Name: Fish glyph (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | This symbol depicts two fish linked together. The symbol itself expresses an inherent duality that many Pisces experience. Pisces is a sign that is constantly "in-between". They straddle two different worlds. Meaning, they could be flopping between the realm of life vs. death, physical vs. spiritual, dream vs. reality. The connecting line between the two fish symbols indicates Pisces link between two worlds. In essence, Pisces is the liaison, or mediator. They can walk in two worlds easily.The glyph also represents two crescent moons, and the line between indicates the constancy of lunar cycles. Pisces can relate to this symbolic concept. This zodiac sign inherently understands the cycles of time, life and death, etc. The moon is symbolic of transition in life - an understanding most Pisces' easily pick up on.

Symbol Code: SM000905 Symbol Name: Aquamarine (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | This gemstone has a few symbolic angles that jive with Pisces. Firstly, it's a beryl, which is comprised of hexagonal crystals. Hexagons are six sided. Big deal, right? Well it is, because the number six is symbolic of love, unity, harmony. Six is ruled by Venus, the goddess of compassion, healing and of course, love. So, for Pisces, the structural make-up of aquamarine expresses the vibration of love. In other words, this stone both meshes and enhances Pisces' ability to reflect benevolence in their daily activities.Secondly, aquamarine gets its colors from impurities in their environment. In the same way, some of the most powerfully psychic Pisces get their power from conflicts they've had to endure in their lives. In other words, Pisces who exhibit the most robust and dynamic gifts of their sign, have typically had to deal with some kind of trauma(s). In essence, like aquamarine, Pisces are able to shine, glitter and express their divine colorful selves by filtering through impurities in their life experience.

Symbol Code: SM000906 Symbol Name: Twin Fish (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | The most interesting correlation between Pisces and their symbol, the fish, is the aspect of sensory perception. Think on it...fish exist 100% by their senses. They don't have Google to tell them about their environment like we do. Some fish, like the blind cavefish exist in a complete state of sensory perception - they can't even see what's around them! I'd like to encourage Pisces to allow the blind cavefish to be their mentor. A truly switched on Pisces can move through this world completely unphased by physical reality. Rather, they can move through life deftly, using their own unique and powerful perception. Fish are extremely sensitive, as are Pisces. The fish reminds Pisces that being submerged in their own world can work to their advantage.

Symbol Code: SM001142 Symbol Name: Symbolic Meaning of Clock Faces (Category: Ultimate Reality )
|
 | (Time): Part of the beauty in number meanings is that they exude vibrations that match up with our own. Meaning – numbers are like tuning forks….they slow down or speed up according to the level of our attention (the frequency or vibration of our thought).The fact that the majority of the time when you look at a clock (a symbolic representation of framework, or structure both in dream & lucid symbolism) and you see consecutive like numbers tells us that you have a knack for order – organization – detail – and a need for structure.Consecutive like numbers that show up repeatedly in our lives in the form of time, usually indicates our need or tendancy to have everything in our lives put neatly into place or a need for control and stability in our lives.
