The Shapes made from The Crystals of The I Ching

Here we see the crystal belong to 1/1 - 9/9 all 12 codons and the shape they make.  There are four of each Lecturers, Workers and Ruminators and we show here the shapes they make for the whole crystal. 

Here w see the image for the 1/1 - 9/9 Crystal and all the 12 codons it makes creating the patterns above. Following are the three different types of shapes Ruminators, Workers and Lecturers as separate patterns. 

The Lecturers contain all three colours of aspects red, blue and green, the Workers are purely Red and the Ruminators are red and green. Each offering a different kind of energy. 

Here we see the 1/1 - 9/9 peaks of the crystal containing 12 codons and how they pair up as both Hexagrams and Codons…

Not that the Ruminators have a relationship with The Workers but the Lecturers just work together…

Here we see the relationships were DNA Codons match up with the diagonally opposite position on the crystal…..so they are always 180* away from each other but they also have a relationship with the Hexagrams which sit vertically opposite to them……..so in any crystal there are two other positions that could have a connection with you. You need the Hexagram connection in order to make the crystal in the first place but once you have made that you can see that by flipping over the right hand side of the crystal you then match up as a DNA Codon as well. 

The Red and Green Ruminator 180 x 150 x 30 can stick to the all red Worker along the side of the triangle that contains the 180* angle…..The Lecturers have three different colours so can connect along any one of them. 

Next up is the shapes that can attach to each other and yet still form a true DNA Codon. Enjoy your thinking.x 

The Music of Your Very Own Spheres

 

We have here the circle of 12 the astrology chart then divided once more into three sections each making 36 different sections in all. I have also added the position of the planets in my birth chart to get the gist of how they may be working. A bit like a DNA I Ching Crystal 12 codons of 36 parts. The purple outer lines are to denote the four notes repeating in a row. 

Take my Venus in Aries it is in the first section so musically I should be playing C most of the time but when I feel flat I may resort to playing the musical note B. As Venus is in the first section of Aries it is not close enough to ever take on the qualities of Taurus. What might that mean for me….

Musical note C fully Venus in Aries….Balanced Venus fully in the moment bold and passionate in nature with an assertive energy in relationships. Venus with the ruler of Aries Mars makes for a nice combination. A certain amount of excitement and intensity in partnerships. A strong, independent woman. 

Now is I am feeling melancholy I may find my C has become B by adding the flat marker to it. So Pisces Venus woman will operate differently. I may be more about unconditional love, empathy, romantic and more artistic than Aries. Pisces Venus is one of the best positions I should have been born a little earlier to have my Venus in Pisces but at least I know if I calm my enthusiasms and become more gentle in my love life I could have a different experience altogether. 

Lets take a look at Neptune in Libra sitting in the 3rd section of the sign. Playing the note G but also it can sharpen itself and become G# in Scorpio. How might that make for differences….

Neptune in Libra Playing G…..Seeking out peace, harmony and beauty in relationships, peace not war would me my motto. If I sharpen myself I could pursue Intimacy, truth and all that is hidden. Spiritual pursuits can be apparent but as also can be the darker side of things in life. Sounds like an interesting combination. Or Yikes I am not sure. 

I suspect keeping to the musical note you have been given is a good thing maybe flats or sharps can add some spice but not the strongest version of you. Or perhaps pick and choose the parts and skills you want to have and disregard the rest. 

When I look to my Mercury in Pisces in the 12th house its quite an odd one for I am playing the note B as a Pisces and Mercury is in the first section of Pisces so when I flatten it it becomes more Aquarian A#  and yet it is still playing the note B………so when we flatten notes nothing very much changes….

Pisces Mercury can be imaginative and empathic but can also cause confusion when trying to communicate. Creative and often working with abstract thought which is probably why nobody understands them till they break the code……if I flatten that note from B to A# I become more intellectual, innovative and enjoy working in groups. Unconventional thinking and embrace change and something new, shared goals work well. I think my Pisces Mercury denotes me well I can confuse people with my thoughts as anyone reading this blog will attest. 

So take a look at your planetary positions and how they may be flattened or sharped to give you what you need. Enjoy your thinking. X 

The Piano Keyboard and DNA Codons

Here we see the piano keyboard and its links to Astrological signs, elements, musical notes and tones. 

The black lines at the bottom denote the Tritones on the piano connecting C to F…etc.,

C to F to B denotes DNA Codon TAC and is the only two tritone codon on the piano. Aries, Virgo and Pisces. Creates Tyrosine amino acid and is Fire, Earth and Water. 

Music notes    Star Sign                        Elements        DNA Letters    Amino Acid 

C to F              Aries & Virgo               Fire + Earth    TAT                Tyrosine

                                                                                    TAA                Stop Ochre

                                                                                    TAG                Stop Amber

D to G              Gemini & Scorpio    Air + Water      GCC                Alanine

                                                                                    GCT                      “  

                                                                                    GCA                     “

                                                                                    GCG                     “

The other tritones above do not make up a DNA Codon of sound as the first letter should be in the 1st section the second letter in the second section and the third letter in the third section. So only 8 DNA Codons have a tritone in their make up. 

So we are looking at many ways to read this take for example the double tritone TAC or CFB……as a shape it becomes a 150 x 180 x 30 Ruminator……nine star ki of 1/3…..its neutral so can adapt to hydrophobic or hydrophilic conditions…belongs to Hex 40 ….directions sitting in the East facing West…belongs to the 1/1 crystal….planets are Mercury and Jupiter……

Below that image we have an astrological chart in the usual 12 sections but then each of the 12 sections becomes divided by 3.  We look at it as the centre of each house is the fixed part of the house but either side of that fixed position ….things can change and become either mutable or Cardinal. Or put another way you can flatten the note or sharpen it. 

For example take a look at 1st house of Aries the first portion could take on the qualities of the previous sign Pisces and the latter part of the house could start to take on the qualities of the next 2nd house of Taurus. Aries Is musical note C but if you flatten it it becomes B Pisces and if you sharpen it it becomes C# Taurus……..that same prospect runs through all of the signs. So I am sure if things are going well we remain true to our own musical note but if things are saddened for some reason you could flatten your tone and become the previous sign or indeed if your buzzing about something perhaps you can sharpen your tone and elevate yourself into the next house. 

All of course speculative enjoy your thinking. X 

Soloman’s Temple 36 Part 20th July, 2025

 I find so often in Soloman’s Temple that the ends where it is easiest to attach another triangle are often the same……here for example we end top left on GC….creating two codons that are both Alanine. Top right end GC withTGC being cysteine……mid left ends CG with CGA being Arginine…..finally at the bottom ends in CC Proline. This makes it more difficult to find a new attachment point if they are all the same or similar. 

The positions marked X are places you cannot add another triangle without duplicating the codon. If a codon is like a palindrome e.g. CGC adding any other letter could create two the same. So quite a lot of positions we cannot add to here. Just the ends remain with their similarities but there is the odd place you can move something to . This is a 36 piece Soloman’s Temple and is complete containing all 64 codons so adding anything anywhere would be a duplication but you can add and remove from somewhere else is a bad to make the game smalleras in 34 triangles which is the smallest I have achieved so far. 

On the cysteine corner if I added an A creating AGC and AGT they would both make the amino acid Serine (you couldn’t in this setting but if you did) interesting though it would be another corner of two amino acids that are the same. 

I guess if I was being true to DNA Codons I would make sure the ends were TAA - TAG - TGA shouting out STOP. Perhaps I should also start the game at ATG MET or Start point. I might attempt that sometime. Enjoy your thinking. X

Soloman’s Temple and Attempts to reduce it to 32 Triangles

 Here we see two sets of the game The Other One of the Pair………..both contain 16 triangles one is the under reading of the other so all 64 codons of DNA appear between them, or with just one set if you set them up on glass and could read the underside.  I presumed that the game Solomans Temple which I have only managed to create in 34 triangles at the last count could be joined together and perhaps create a game of 32 for Solomans Temple. As you can see it looks simple enough to find a way in to connect without creating a duplication but no I have yet to find it. 

Here we see both sets that together give us 64 codons of DNA the gold lines denote areas where if you add a triangle it will duplicate itself so thats a no no. The purple dots are where you could add a new triangle but not without duplicating again. So as you can see there is no way in to join the pair so the only thing you can do is remove a triangle and try to reconnect them that way. So far I have failed and it still seems it is impossible to create a Soloman’s Temple game with less than 34 triangles. That said I remember for years thinking Soloman’s Temple could not be made up of less than 36 triangles.  So I will continue to try.

The I Ching is The One which becomes 2 then 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 so in my mind I do not feel happy to settle on the number 34 being the least amount of triangles needed to create Soloman’s Temple of 64 codons, somehow its just not the right number to associate with DNA. So I will keep trying, wish me luck. 

Finally I have an answer and the game is only possible in 34 triangles. No lower count would work. X 

My Birth Chart and the Division of the Chart by 7

Interestingly I rarely look at the combinations of the number 7 aspects in astrology or I Ching. Here we see the chart divided into 7 portions of equal size. 

0*            Aries        AC 1st House…….    0* Aries

51.4*        Taurus     2nd House..                21.4* Taurus

102.86*    Cancer    4th House….              12.9* Cancer

154.29*    Virgo    6th House…..                4.29* Virgo

205.72*    Libra    7th House…..                25.72* Libra

257.15*    Sagittarius 9th house…..            17.15* Sagittarius

308.58*    Aquarius    11th house…..        8* Aquarius

Then return to AC 360*

Do these points have any connections to your own birth charts. I have Neptune conjunct the 7th sign of Libra. In my chart this point is in the 3rd house. 

I also have a conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius in the 9th sign but in my chart it is in the fourth house.    

What might this mean for me and my connection to the divisions of 7.                  

The points that connect with the number 7 in my chart are Neptune conjunct at 25* Libra in my 3rd house…. 
                

Interestingly when I looked this up it said The Power of Imagination….well thats true but such an enquiring mind as to want to know why is a chair called a chair. Now odd question but I remember clearly asking my Mother that question and her inability to answer it lol. Ever a curious mind sometimes with profound insights and always seeking out a pattern in life. A mind without boundaries which can easily tune iinto the minds of others. The number 7 quality could add seeking out the mysteries of life, truth seeking and deep thinking. Gifts and talents connected to that deep thinking. Well that sounds remarkably like me just need to get more profound. 

So you can check out your own planetary positions and the numbers they might connect to. 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 or 12 all connected to the full circle. 

My Mars Jupiter is an abundance of energy which of course is everything on the planet but how I use it wisely or not is the key. Lets hope the magic of the number 7 makes it a little more realistic. 

So this shows the points on a chart when divided by 7 but all the number can become a division that might match up to one of your own planets. 7 is not divisible or multipliable with any other number so it makes it unique. Enjoy your thinking x  

The 6/6 - 2/2 Crystal Expanded Jupiterian Style and Reduced Saturnian Style

 As we look to the top image this is forming the DNA I Ching Crystal with its peaks at 6/6 and 2/2.

6/6 starts the crystals as it is Hexagram number 1. GGG three yellow air/tree triangles the next one along is created by taking the last two letters of the first Hexagram GG and then turning one step clockwise on the wheel of CTGA…

Using this format you can turn clockwise C to T - T to G - G to A - A to C or anticlockwise when dealing with RNA but that doesn’t apply here in the crystals. 

So GGG moves to make GG then the first G Yellow moves on one spot to Green A and creates the next Hexagram in the crystal GGA - then GGA becomes GAA and so on until you reach twelve codons at the top which is TGG. It ends there because TGG would only start over again creating GGG, 

So the top image shows how the crystal was created….it is the simplest of the crystals to work with as it is so uniform. 

The bottom image shows you those 36 triangles but this time instead of as a ladder climbing as a straight line of 36. This is described as Jupiterian size expanded. Then we move to the middle image which is described as Saturnian because it is reduced to its smallest without losing the ability to stretch it out once more. 

The secret to the reduction is start with the first Codon/Hexagram GGG we know the next one is GGA… so we presume the second GG and remove it and put only the A. The then next one is GAA so we have the GA from the previous codon so just add the next A creating GGG AAA and so on to the end. 

I guess if you need to save space on data this is a good way to do it. Jupiter is like breathing in and expanding and Saturn is breathing out and reducing. We can see without doubt this is the easiest Crystal to work with and the patterns are less complex. 

The same rules can be followed with the 6/6 crystal the 1/1, the 8/4 the Double and the Diamond.

The Other One of the Pair and Soloman’s Temple in their smallest form

 

This is the smallest set of 16 triangles that makes up the game The Other One of the Pair……a mini version of Soloman’s Temple. 

Soloman’s Temple is a game made up so far of a minimum of 34 Triangles in which all 64 DNA Codons can be read. The game above is smaller with 16 triangles in varying positions which show all Dna codons  which when you flip the game over it shows the opposite colour e.g. T has A on the back and C has G and vice versa. So this game needs to be read on both sides. 

My point here is that if this smaller game can be done in 16 surely the larger game can be done in 32. I have yet to achieve that and 34 seems to be the best result so far.  Watch this space. X 

The Tritone - Diabolos and Potential DNA Codon Connections

 Tritone or Diablos in Music and its potential to be connected to DNA.

A tritone is created when a space of  3 whole notes or 6 semitones occur.

Therefore as C to F is a Tritone all DNA Codons have the potential to contain at least one tritone if they begin with DNA Letters T and A. There are four codons that begin TA as follows…

TAT - Tyrosine - Lecturer Shape - 1/9 Nine Star Ki - Direction North West to South East. The Lecturer creates a triangle T to A Quincunx A to T Square and T back to T Trine. A Green, red and blue aspect shape. It contains 1 tritone C and F. 

TAA - Stop Ochre - Lecturer Shape - 4/3 Nine Star Ki - Direction South East to North West - The Lecturer creates a triangle T to A Quincunx A to A Trine A to T Square - A green, blue and red aspect shape. It contains 1 Tritone C and F.

TAG - Stop Amber - Magician shape - 4/9 Nine Star Ki - Direction South to North - The Magician creates a triangle T to A Quincunx A to G Quincunx and G to T Sextile - A green, green and blue aspect. No red here. It contains 1 tritone C and F.

TAC - Tyrosine - Ruminator - 1-3 Nine Star Ki - Direction East to West - The Ruminator creates a triangle T to A Quincunx - A to C Opposition - C to T Inconjunct - A green, Red and Green aspect. No blue here - It contains two tritones, the only DNA Codon that does, from C to F and then D to G. 

When you look at these amino acid/DNA codons they sit in the fire quadrant of the I Ching and also in the Earth portion of the Fire quadrant as a block of four. TAC and TAT both make Tyrosine and below them we have two STOP signals. 

TAC as mRNA becomes a START button or MET - Metrionine - I mention this alone as it interests me that STOP and START can be found here. If STOP codons adapt to a protein they are reassigned to another Amino Acid which means they continue on past the STOP sign. They are also said to be connected to Mitochondria. 

Now I never said I wasn’t crazy or deny that I make everything up as I go along but I prefer to call it being an observer and noting something of interest. In DNA there is a description SMAC/DIABLO. Hmmm. 

This title stands for Second Mitochondrial derived Activator  of Caspases/direct IAP binding protein with low PL. A protein that plays a part in the cell death or apoptosis. A damaged cell will signal it needs apoptosis due to cellular damage/stress this triggers the release of SMAC/DIABLO from the Mitochondria. 

Cancer cells often have dysregulated apoptosis and SMAC ability to promote apoptosis which could potentially be used in cancer therapy. Increased levels of SMAC could make cancer cells more susceptible to apoptosis. 

Interesting concepts but I digress we have one more version of DNA Codon Diablos to look at…..when D and G are played together……these codons contain only one tritone each.

GCC - Alanine - Lecturer Shape - 3/3 Nine Star Ki - Direction Centred - The Lecturer creates a triangle of G to C Quincunx C to C Grand Trine - C to G Square. Green, Blue and Red. 

GCT - Alanine - Ruminator shape - 3/9 Nine Star Ki - Direction South West to North East - The Ruminator creates a triangle G to C Quincunx C to T Inconjunction and T to G an opposition. Green, Green and Red. No Blue here. 

GCG - Alanine - 9/9 Nine Star Ki - Lecturer shape - Direction Centred - The Lecturer creates a triangle of G to C Quincunx C to G Square G to G Trine. Green, Red and Blue. 

GCA - Alanine - 9/3 Nine Star Ki - Magician shape -  Direction North East to South West. The Magician creates a triangle of G to C Quincunx C to A Sextile A to G Quincunx. Green, blue and green. No red here. 

When you look at these amino acid/DNA codons they sit in the Air/Tree quadrant of the I Ching and also in the Water portion of the Earth quadrant as a block of four. All four of them create the amino acid Alanine. 

Alanine is connected to smac/diablo, specifically the N-terminal sequence of SMAC/DIABLO which includes Alanine and is crucial for its interaction with IAP proteins. This N-terminal motif, often represented as Ala-Val-Pro-LLe (AVPI) binds to the BIR domains of IAPS, enables SMAC/DIABLO to counteract their anti-apoptotic effects. So Alanine is connected to apoptosis or certain forms of alanine are like B-alaniine can induce apoptosis, while L-alanine can also play a role in protecting cells from apoptosis. Additionally alanine levels can be indicators of apoptosis and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity increases during apoptosis. 

So I think I will leave that side of it there for now enough to see that all 8 of these DNA Codons or Amino Acids have some connection to SMAC/DIABLO and apoptosis.  

Diablos in music is called the Devils interval or tritone ….the STOP codons are also called The Terminators…….there are other tritones or Triads in the c major scale but they cannot be made into DNA Codons if their first note is E or beyond. The first four notes create the first letter of a codon, the next four the middle letter and the last four the third letter. 

The term "Diabolus in musica," also known as the "devil's interval," refers to the tritone, a musical interval that spans three whole tones (or six semitones). Historically, it was considered dissonant and unsettling, and was avoided in Western music, particularly in religious settings, due to its perceived association with the devil. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

A tritone is an interval consisting of three whole notes, in medieval music the tritone was avoided due to its harsh, dissonant sound. The unsettling quality led it to be labelled Diabolus in Musica meaning the devils music. . . connecting it to the word diabolical. The tritone is used more often these days to create tension, suspense and a sense of foreboding. Yikes STOP I shout lol. I hope you can find other connections to these patterns.

Gert Gritter I Ching Map

 

I came across this map on the website LiSe YiJing which you can use to learn more about the Hexagrams of The I Ching. They are my first choice when looking up the Hexagrams.   

It is called The Gritter Grid and copyright belongs to Gert Gritter but I cannot find Gert Gritter on the Internet. Of course he may have drawn this up two hundred years ago for all I know so I played around with it a bit and added the Nine Star Ki numbers to it and the DNA letters. 

Also for the sake of observations there are two errors in the pattern which if you are still around you might want to correct. 

Notice the DNA Codon letters are partnered as they would be in a DNA I Ching crystal Hexagram numbers not as they would be in a string of DNA.

Note also that the numbers 1, 9, 2 and 6 remain the same even when you flip them over but the numbers 3,4,7,8 partner up when flipped. 3 becomes 8 and 4 becomes 7. 

All the problems in DNA Patterns seem to arise from the numbers 3,4,7 and 8. 

If anyone would like to contact me re Gert Gritters map please feel free to do so. 

There is an amazing pattern within the I Chings double numbers 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 6,6- 7-7 8-8 9-9 when drawn in a diagonal line which I happy to show if you so wish.
