The near bottom of the post has the meaning for those of you who want to get right to the point.
Here is a key for those who want to know more about the symbols at the end of the Bungie Day post. I will add more if the post gets more popular. Tell me if I missed something or should rephrase something! :)
Geomantic Figures: Each geomantic figure represents a certain state of the world or the mind. Here is a pic of all 16 Geomantic Figures.
Understanding the figures: I would recommend skipping this part because I don't believe this will help, but read it if you feel like it has a meaning. Each figure has 4 lines, each line having one or two dots. Each line represents an element. If the line has one point, the line's element is active. If it has two, it is passive.
The Figures names in order:
1)Via
2)Conjunctio
3)Amissio
4)Fortuna Minor
5)Rubeus
6)Laetitia
7)Carcer
Description of each figure in order:
1)Via - "The Way"
- Road or path.
- It can mean change.
- Considered bad unless concerning traveling.
- Good with concerns of roads, travels, or journeys.
2)Conjunctio - "The Conjuction"
- Resembles a crossroad or joining of two figures.
- Can mean joining of forces (alliance?)
- good with joining or recovering things, especially relationships.
3)Amissio - "Loss"
- the meaning is bad or negative
- It often represents something outside of one's grasp.
4)Fortuna Minor - "The Lesser Fortune"
- It indicates a weakly positive outcome in nearly all questions.
- It represents situations that can be resolved quickly and do not need to be sustained.
- It is a figure of change and instability.
5)Rubeus - "Red"
- This basically means evil.
- It represents passion, deception, and violence.
6)Laetitia - "Joy"
- Represents potential joy.
- Could represent construction.
7)Carcer - "The Prison"
- Represents a delay or a setback.
- Also can represent being bound to something, being immobile, strength, or stability.
The Meaning: When you put all the translations in order and use the meanings of the figures to add or change words you get,"The way to stay together is lost. The one with the upper hand is evil, but there is still hope for good." This could be translated into different meanings though. For example,"But there is still hope for good" can also be seen as,"good has been set back." The first sentence is by far the hardest to translate because Via can mean "the way" or "the change" and Conjunctio can mean "connection" or an alliance.
My personal speculation: This could be a hint to the story line in the Destiny universe.Post your own speculations if you want! :D
Other Important Notes:
- According to this post, the geomantic equation has not been "Solved" yet. There either is more to find out or Bungie just wanted to get a point across.
- *More soon*
Thanks for reading, and if you enjoyed it post a reply to keep the thread alive! :D
