Trivia

• Monas Hieroglyphica is the astrological counterpart to the Zodiac.
• The Monas Hieroglyphica is an glyph invented by magus and astrologer John Dee, who he described in his book of the same name published in 1564 as being the symbol of "cosmic unity"; the glyph is a composite of various other esoteric and astrological symbols to represent this.
