cthulhiaI'm working on a Burning Man theme camp banner. Needed a safe combo of science and magick:
alchemical signs:
planets.
I didn't know the symbol for Earth (as planet, not element). Venus and Mars are too familiar as gender symbols. So I used The Other Six Planets. I got totally sucked into symbols.com, which has some interesting interpretations. Especially for Pluto. And, it's just too topical to exclude right now. But, the usual Pluto sign uses obvious roman letters (which distracts from the vaguely egypt/sg1/deco feel). An older sign kinda looks like Pluto and Charon together, as if consoling each other over the demotion.
