(in other words, HEY ANDY)

I'm taking astronomy this quarter, and do you know what I learned today? The accepted shorthand for the Earth. It's a little symbol. Guess what it is.

That's right. It's a circle, quartered by a cross.

:D

See, I don't get it, but I know I changed the bullets in The Master's journal from dots to quartered circles. So now I'm all "WHAT IT MEANS SOMETHING?!". XD

XD

Well, that's interesting! First, in the astronomy context it works, because it represents the earth, which he clearly dominates. But in the Dark is Rising context, the Master would totally be a Lord of the Dark, and thus shouldn't be able to have anything to do with a qartered circle!

Confusion! @_@
