[5]“One of the most widespread of symbols, despite its complexity. In almost every land and age its characteristics are the same— the circular form, the twelve subdivisions with their corresponding signs and heir relationship with the seven planets. The Mesopotamian cultures, Egypt, Judea, Persia, India, Tibet, China, America, Islam, Greece and Northern Europe— all were acquainted with zodiacal symbolism. The name of this circular ‘form’ comes from zoe (life) and diakos (wheel); and the basic element of this ‘wheel of life’ is found in the Ouroboros (the snake biting its own tail), symbolizing the Aion (duration). The general significance of this Zodiac concerns the process by which ‘primordial energy, once fecundated, passes from the potential to the virtual, form the unity to multiplicity, from sprit to matter, and from the non-formal world to the world of form’s’, and then returns along the same path (52).
