The overlapping circles -- an excellent representation of a cell, or any unity in the midst of becoming dual -- form a fish-shaped central area which is one source of the symbolic reference to Christ as a fish. Christ, as a universal function, is symbolically this region which joins together heaven and earth, above and below, creator and creation. The fish is also the symbolic designation of the Piscean Age, and consequently the Vesica is the dominant geometric figure for this period of cosmic and human evolution, and is the major thematic source for the cosmic temples of this age in the west, the Gothic cathedrals.
