In the past, astrological and astronomical symbols were mixed together. Symbols such as zodiac signs and classical planets are frequently employed. These are from Byzantine codices from the Middle Ages. Their current form is a result of the Renaissance in Europe. In several astrological traditions, other symbols indicating astrological aspects are utilised.
Astrological symbols are visuals that are used to represent relevant objects in various astrological systems. The planets’ glyphs are frequently (but not always) divided down into four basic elements: a circle for spirit, a crescent for thought, a cross for practical/physical substance, and an arrow for action or direction.
