Flags - Astrology and Numerology

NATO - NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION

"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization" or the NATO got its flag on 14 th October, 1953 proposed by an International member. The flag is predominantly light blue in colour with a white and blue compass on it giving the appearance of a four pointed star where each segment is divided into partly white and partly blue triangular shapes.

Four white lines emerge out from the compass emblem or the star of the NATO flag varying in its length. Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithunia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia are also members of NATO organization. The star seems to overlap a circle from its lower side.

The blue color is mandated only as "dark sky-blue", and varies from flag to flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue, sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to hues about 75% toward pure cyan and shades as light as very light blue. The blue colour is also considered more sociable. The colour blue and its importance were derived from the skin colour of Lord Krishna, who is revered as the divine flute player. The special energy of the second Moon was considered 'blue' or divine by Indian religious scholars and priests. Blue symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, honesty, tranquility, and peace. Blue is a symbol of cold for it is related to sky and deep sea. The white colour is precise, critical, and sincere and in the NATO flag it is used as the symbol of purity. According to astrology star is a symbol of light meaning bright future.

Thinking of the Star, first of all, gives each of us the feeling that we are shining with light. Actually, shining beings - each of us. In this state we feel secure but free, and can be more loving, more accepting of other people. Not only that. By associating ourselves with the Star symbol, we are thinking of ourselves at the simplest, finest, level. As nothing but light, in fact. And just as the demonstration of our loving nature, even just a smile to a passer-by, can brighten other people's lives can totally alter the course of a day for them - so letting the Starlight shine from our hearts has a way of touching them inwardly. The star is generally said to symbolize all our hopes and aspirations. It means balance between the gifts of life and our gift to life. Individuation is the dynamic of the triangle according to astrology and it signifies the daring personality of the people of NATO.

Numerology is the study of numbers, and the occult manner in which they reflect certain aptitudes and character tendencies, as an integral part of the cosmic plan. The star and the circle 1 in number according to numerology signifies the leadership skills, goal-oriented, strong will power,courageous,unconventional, inventive and creative skills of the NATO members. The four points in the star and the lines denotes solid matter in general and the Earth in particular, as the Earth is a solid object bounded by four cardinal points (North, South, East and West). Time is another concept strongly associated with four, on the grounds that the year has four seasons and the month has (roughly) four weeks; Christian-oriented observers also note that the life story of Jesus is told in four gospels, each of which is in turn linked to one of the four classical "elements" of fire, air, earth, and water.
