HI Tink,
I LOVE the symbols, I have been working with them for at least 7 years, but have been working with symbols since I was 6.. BUT I don't think its time that matters, its passion and intuition and an OPEN MIND - actually the open mind is the most important, never say never and all that.. anyway
SO If your TIME is accurate your rising sybmol will be accurate - and wow what a beautiful symbol tink! Dawn!!
Ohh I do believe in the passion, intuition and open mind. Since working with the symbols, I've noticed my intuition heightening. I've too have worked with symbols, after all everything we encounter and meet along the way is a symbol.
The time as far as I know is accurate, as indicated on my birth certificate. What I have noticed is different astrology programs can be different in the houses and minutes. And as you say, every minute can change the rising sign or the ascendant. I've had quite a reliable software program although I think it is time to upgrade.
In regard to the clay:
MCsea quote: Element Clay
"Discussion Clay is a technical term that means a very fine grained rock. Clays are heavy in texture and soft to the touch. Clay is a malleable substance when wet, which means it can be shaped easily with the hands. When dry, it becomes firm and when "fired," or hardened by intense heat, clay becomes permanently solid. Depending on the content of the soil, clay can appear in various colors, from a dull gray to a deep orange-red. This symbol has clay as its element as in clay tablets, these tablets are the earliest libraries, ancient ways of recording all sorts of information. Spiritually, clay is a vessel to contain emotions and spirit.
Imagining the very first time a human wrote something in clay for a permanent message, what the people around may have thought."
Being of a scientific mind, I've always been interested in biology and the myth of the Promethian Fire.
Prometheus stole the fire of the sun from Olympus by hiding a glowing charcoal in a stalk of fennel and taking it to mortal beings who had been condemned by the angry Zeus to eat their flesh raw. So, the cause for which Prometheus suffered was his love for the human race. Humans were punished by Zeus but Prometheus took pity on them and gave them warmth. He was therefore punished too by Zeus.
A controverial new theory states that organic life did not evolve from a caldron of primoridal soup as had been thought - but from clay! Could could store energy from its environment and transfer back to organic molecues, which in turn would follow the patterns of the clay to live and to produce. This unique ability allowed clay to from the matrix for biological life after the earth was formed.
When a new clay crystal froms on an old one, the 'child' takes on the dinstinctive characterisitics of its parents. BUT if the new crystal 'flakes off' and goes its separate way, the individuality and distinctiveness of the parent may live on in its offspring. So, clay crystals can undergo natural selection and actually evolve!
Now that's cool!
