Geomancy in the upcoming soundtrack

Now, we know from mister Reaganite's thread that O'Donnell will be releasing a part of the Destiny soundtrack later this summer. And if we [url=https://twitter.com/MartyTheElder/status/350332759929135104/photo/1]take a closer look at this thingy here[/url], we can see some geomantic symbols in the background. I have named them, from left to right: Conjunctio (the Conjunction) = Mercury Fortuna Minor (the Lesser Fortune) = Sun Via (the Way) = Moon Carcer (the Prison) = Saturn Amissio (Loss) = Venus Laetitia (Joy) = Jupiter Rubeus (Red) = Mars I also went ahead and labeled the celestial body associated with each figure, as well as the rough English translation of each. Now, we can go ahead and use this to attempt to decipher the meanings of the names of each of these 8 tracks. 1. The Path (Via) = The Moon 2. The Union (Conjunctio) = Mercury 3. *The Ruin (Amissio) = Venus 4. *The Tribulation (Fortuna Minor) = The Sun 5. The Rose (Rubeus) = Mars 6. The Ecstasy (Laetitia) = Jupiter 7. The Prison (Carcer) = Saturn *these two were difficult to decide. Fortuna Minor means misfortune that is to come, and Amissio means "Loss". So, the word Ruin and the word Tribulation (a tribulation is a passing of difficult, just down right awful times that is typically meant to test one's faith) are too similar, so I may actually have those backwards. Now, Track Number 8 (The Hope) could be anything. There are only 7 celestial bodies associated with geomantic symbols, and I've already used all of them. Also, there are only 7 geomantic symbols pictured on the banner. My guess, however, is that The Hope is a name for Caput Draconis (the Head of the Dragon), because Caput Draconis was supposed to be a very, VERY good sign if the symbol came up at the start of any prophetic readings. What if... this 8th title... is the Traveler? The new celestial body in our galaxy? These geomantic figures may have a lot to do with the game's title: Destiny. I mean, they are used in special readings that tell the future. Update: If you're checking this thread out, try [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/61190767/0/0]my new thread[/url]. It goes back to the Alpha Lupi stories and draws connections from there.
