10 planets of astrology: the cross of Saturn and the Earth



Every planetary symbol is composed of the circle, the crescent, and the cross. Not all three are present in every planet’s symbol, but at least one is. The circle symbolizes boundless, infinite and eternal spirit without beginning or end, the serpent swallowing its tail. The crescent represents personality and substance: half of the circle, the outer, visible part of being. Just as the Moon is visible only when it reflects the light of the Sun, so, too, does our personality (potentially) reflect the true light within us—our immortal consciousness. The crescent Moon represents everything in life that changes and goes through phases. The cross represents the incarnation of souls on Earth, and the evolutionary struggle to be illuminated by what is within.
