Symbols of the Past Right on Your Sleeves
Interesting enough, we often associate the unpredictable and unconceivable with something mundane and irrelevant. Why is it that the things we find difficult to explain gets to be represented by such symbolism as the Gemini or the Taurus or the Virgo? All these don’t seem to have connection with whatever it is that they symbolize no matter how hard astrologers explain the connection to us.
Centuries before religion was invented, men look up the skies for answers. They tried to map the stars, thus, the constellations that we know of today. Gemini, Taurus and Virgo are constellations—patterns that these ancient observers found embedded in the night sky. Such practice evolves into trying to explain what we can’t perceive.
Symbolisms such as these are the product of what we don’t know. Now that we have so many ways to seek for answers, the function of these symbolisms is downplayed from being the answer to the unknown to being a mere object of aesthetic value.
Such phenomenon is not endemic in zodiac signs. In fact, we have seen various religion and Zen cufflinks that don’t have any other role to play other than looking all mysterious and beautiful. Silver cufflinks do have functions beyond being a piece of jewelry but seems to be irrelevant to the function of the symbol.
So when you find a pair of Gemini cufflinks, you buy it because its your sign but you don’t wear because of anything it can solve other than giving your outfit more charm.
