5 Symbols To Create a Healthy, Balanced Home

Symbols can act in two ways:

First, they can be used to focus and project your own personal energy. Second, a symbol can function as a magnifier and transmitter, in order to bring various energy forces into your everyday life.

1. Circle: The Circle is one of the most potent symbols. It represents Eternity, Completion, Unity, the Universe, Perfection and the Sacred Female.

2. Triangle: The Triangle relates to the combined power of the Body, Mind and Spirit; Mother, Father and Child; and of the Past, Present and Future.

3. Square: The Square represents the four elements- Wind, Water, Fire and Earth - and the four directions.

4. Pentacle (Five-Pointed Star-pointing up): Represents the four basic elements (Wind, Water, Earth and Fire), with the 5th point representing the Spirit. The pentagram is a powerful sign, used for protection from dark forces.

5. Infinity: The symbol for infinity looks like the number eight laid on its side. In ancient India and Tibet, it represented Perfection, Dualism, and Unity between male and female. In the occult tarot, it's linked to magic and represents equilibrium or the balance of various forces. This is a very powerful and cosmic symbol to use in your home.
