Vesica Pisces Sacred Geometry
The circle stands for unity, oneness, eternity, wholeness, and completeness. The only form that encloses all other radially symmetrical or regular figures, it may connote pre-form, the genesis of form, origins or beginnings.
The circle’s circumference is closed and continuous and as such conveys continuous cycles of endings and beginnings. Circles may signify cycles of time such as: phases of the sun and moon; cycles of light and dark; and perpetual rhythms of sleeping and waking, birth and death, growth and decay, systole and diastole, and inhalation and exhalation. In its totality, the circle suggests the timeless whole. The moving point along the circle conveys the passage of time.
Circles are measured relative to the incommensurable value pi (p = 3.1415927…).[1] In contrast to the square, whose perimeter and area can be measured in finite whole numbers, the circle may symbolize heavenly, transfinite or transcendental realms.
Some Christian churches, tribal ritual spaces, and the instinctive way in which children gather to play — all take the form of the circle, drawing upon its magical and protective qualities and its sense of center and place. As a sacred space, the circle orients to the horizon and to the cosmic edges of the universe.
In the earliest traditions, a sphere or circle, the symbol of a being with no beginning and no end, continually existing, perfectly formed and profoundly symmetrical, represented the Supreme Being. The addition of a second sphere or circle represented the expansion of unity into the duality of male and female, god and goddess. By overlapping, the two spheres, the god and goddess created a divine offspring. The Vesica Pisces motif (and its derivatives, the Flower of Life, Tree of Life, and fundamentals of geometry) has a history of thousands of years and easily predates virtually all major religions.
The Vesica Pisces is a sacred geometrical symbol in which the circumference of one circle goes through the center of another identical circle. The shape of the Vesica Pisces is derived from the intersection of two circles, the Pythagorean “measure of the fish” that was a mystical symbol of the intersection of the world of the divine with the world of matter and the beginning of creation. As such, it is also a doorway or portal between worlds, and symbolizes the intersection between the heaven and the material plane.
The Vesica Pisces was the symbol of the first manifestation, the dyad that gives birth to the entire manifest universe. The Latin term Vesica Pisces, meaning “Vessel of the Fish” is the most basic and important construction in Sacred Geometry. Within the Vesica can be found the triangle, the tetrad, the square, the pentacle, and many more polygons, making the Vesica a true symbolic womb.
When a Vesica Pisces is viewed horizontally, it looks like a vagina or a womb, which is why the Christ child was often pictured inside of one. In Pagan times, this glyph was associated with the Goddess Venus, and represented fertility. Extend one end of the Vesica and you get a fish – the symbol in Roman times that you were a Christian. The top half of the Vesica made the Gothic arch used in medieval cathedral building. The Vesica is not only sacred to Christians. It is an important symbol for many spiritual paths. Many ancient stone circles in Britain were laid out using a similar mathematical principle.
Some vernacular cultures combine images of sun and moon in the form of a Vesica Pisces. The full disk of the sun, which radiates its own permanent golden light, represents the unifying state of “solar” consciousness in which reality is perceived as eternal and One. In contrast to the sun, the sharp and cutting edge of the crescent moon may signify the division of unity into different parts. The moon continually changes as it progresses through various phases. Its silvery light is the surface reflection of other bodies. Together, the sun and moon convey complementary polarities of self and other, sameness and difference, and one whole and many parts.
