On 7-7-2012 Bungie gave us these seven symbols. The community has sense linked to an ancient art called geomancy.
Geomancy has 16 runes or symbols [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Geomantic_figures.svg] 16 geomantic figures[/url]
These Symbols Translated are as follows

There are a number of ways to interpret these symbols:
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy] Geomanctic Charts[/url] basically involve adding the symbols together using their binary to get one final symbol.
[url=http://i.imgur.com/4abvJ.jpg] Seven layers of Heaven Myth [/url]. Props to user dont pass gass for finding this connection.
[url=http://www.britannia.com/wonder/geomancy.html] Fung Shui or Ley Lines [/url] I think this may help us unlock some easter eggs once the game is actually released.
Also interesting to note, the one of seven winners received hoodies showing [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/oneofseven_jacket.jpg?w=584&h=438] One of Seven Hoodie [/url] This mysterious symbol which is geomantic looking but does not fit any of the 16 original runes.

I think we've seen this image before, but what connection do you think it has? There are 12 total symbols in that picture.

I also gave thought this on dont pass gass's thread. The story about the seven layers of heaven, each layer/world has a nation, only one nation, and destiny is set in the last city on earth. Meaning the only nation on the planet, this therefore connects with the the myth and could be one of the 7 planets (layers) with only one nation. So we could also see the other 6 planets (layers) in the game that only has one city remaining (one nation). This definitely ties in with the seven layers of heaven myth as each layer has[b] A[/b] nation and our planet in destiny only has one city left.

Connection to the one in Seven Members! okay so the one in seven avatars were already in the bungie day symbols, but I am still putting in the connections to the users. This is very interesting - can we get all seven?

I don't get it. What is this? Are we deciphering something?
-
I don't get the relation between the symbols and the numbers. How do you know one dot is b1 and two dots is b0? How did you translate the numbers to characters?

[quote]Seven layers of Heaven Myth . Props to user dont pass gass for finding this connection[/quote] Based on the work that is happening in another thread using the image above, I translated as much of the latin that I could, The word sphaerarum is interesting to me. The translation is roughly orb, bodies, or globes. The connection to the information we have about seven seraphs and the seven symbols we have leads me to belive the seven seraphs faction is a solar system wide organization made up of populations from each of the plants listed above.
