As Above, So Below
The top and bottom points of a “Unicursal Hexagram” symbolize the sun and the moon, respectively, and the four other points symbolize the four elements. A hexagram already signifies the interaction and unity of the macrocosm with the microcosm.
But the unicursal hexagram in particular displays the unity of the two and the involvement of the four disproportionately smaller points (the spirit-matter dynamic). And the weight of the roles they play in creating paths to achieve this unity.
The unicursal hexagram is also a powerful symbol of the phrase, “As above, so below,” which means that what happens in the physical world is mirrored with what happens in the spiritual world/the heavens and the earth are bound in unity/everything is connected, no matter how unlikely it may seem.
