If you listen closely there is music all around you. Everything, playing a symphony with everything. Sometimes in harmony, sometimes in discord. When you find yourself in tune with your environment, it all seems right as rain, when your not, everything can feel abrasive.

As we progress in life, we tend to align with patterns, and these patterns orbit with other patterns, following the paths of least resistance so as to not disrupt the system. It becomes comfortable, steady, but we can also get stuck there, unable to shift or move.

When we find ourselves growing in discord with the song, and fail to make the necessary adjustments to find harmony, it can lead to suffering and unhappiness. We try to force a new pattern on everything, and that just increases our dissatisfaction. Patience and temperance as necessary for change if we are to do it smoothly.

In Ancient Greece, the wanderers, our planets, were believe to resonate with a specific tone or note, and together they existed in a symphonic rhapsody. Each a sphere ringing with the others, forever, for all time. Music of the Spheres.

It's roots rest in Pythagoras and Ptolemy, who both studied and mapped out the patterns. It may seem a product of the imagination, but there is something to be said about everything working in rhythm with it all. A sense of flow.

This piece is a companion to Wandering Wheel, where that piece presents the patterns of the Astrological Houses, this one vibrates with the patterns of the Planets, specifically their glyphs.

The Sun is at the center, and the planets follow outward, the patterns of the Solar System. Mercury, Venus, The Moon (representing Earth), and Mars, all tied together within the symbol of Earth representing the Earth planets.

The goddess asteroids, Ceres, Pallas (Athena), Vesta, and Juno at the cardinal points, before we move out to the Gas Giants Jupiter and Saturn, in the corners are the Ice Giants Uranus and Neptune.

I do not represent Pluto and the Kuiper Belt in this piece and saving that for another piece, working title Ninth Planet.

It's important to be aware of the patterns of your surroundings.
