 Solar symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A simple circle or circular disk can be a solar symbol, as in the flag of Japan, the flag of Bangladesh, and the Australian aboriginal flag, or in three-dimensional form as part of the Trundholm sun chariot (though obviously a circle can have many other possible meanings).
The "sun cross" or "solar wheel" is often considered to represent the four seasons and the tropical year, and therefore the sun (though as an astronomical symbol it means "earth").
The swastika can be derived from the sun cross, and is another solar symbol in some contexts (though it may not have this meaning in all religious or cultural traditions).

 Sun cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Caddo solar cross, to Southeastern Native Americans a symbol of both the sun and fire.
The sun cross is a cross inside a circle, one of the oldest and most universal religious symbols [1], and a traditional neopagan solar symbol.
Along with other ancestral symbols, the sun cross is also used as a symbol by Heathens and Asatru adherents in particular as an attempt at reconstruction of ancient Germanic and Slavic (Native Polish Church) pre-Christian religion and culture, free of political implications.

The solar wind is a super-thin gas (only about 5 particles per cubic centimeter by the time it passes the Earth) that originates in the Sun's outermost atmosphere, called the solar corona.
Because the Solar System is moving through the interstellar medium at approximately 27 km per second, scientists believe that the heliopause has the form of a comet-shaped bubble similar to the bow wave and wake caused by the motion of a ship through water.
Before reaching the heliopause, the solar wind is hypothesized to undergo a significant deceleration and compression where it first begins to "feel" the pressure exerted by the interstellar medium.

 Erection of the Holy Cross: The Sacred Geometry of Global Change
Solar activity is an intimate part of the Holy Cross Cycle, and the planetary and lunar cycles that create the unfoldment of human consciousness.
Solar flares can casuse us to be nervous, anxious, worrisome, jittery, irritable, lethargic, have short term memory loss, feel nauseous, queasy, have prolonged head pressure or head aches, have trouble with the radio, phone, Internet, computers, and all forms of communication--both human and technological.
Solar activity, although dramatic, catalyzes, and is essential for super-human achievement by stimulating radical change and transformation in the organizational foundation of matter, energy and consciousness.

 Religious crosses
The cross began as a destructive hammer of Thor and is still used as a murderous hammer today.
This cross might be a Christianised version (a conversion) of a pagan Sun Cross or Solar Cross.
The cross form is often chosen, not because of any religious significance, but simply because the cross is easy to draw, easy to recognise, and doesn't detract the eye from the additional message given by the colour.

 The Celtic Cross
The cross is so named because early examples are found in the Celtic land of Ireland, where in about 800 A.D., missionaries erected these stone crosses to mark preaching stations and monasteries.
Because of its antiquity, the Celtic Cross is popular with neo-Druids, occultists, neo-Pagans and New Age followers, who see the ring representing the thunder god Taranis and refer to the cross as a Sun Cross.
Another interpretation is that the cross is a wheel and used as a navigation instrument to "design geometric structures that reflected the fundamental laws of nature and the recurring natural cycles of order and chaos" (See http://www.crichtonmiller.com/real%20cross.htm).

Solar consciousness is a type of collective interactive sentience which is transmitted through the solar or star-sun energy.
Thus, these solar crosses are aligning vectors for an evolving soul in physical incarnation.

 Origin Of The Cross - Stauros, Stauroo - Sign, Symbol, Emblem, Christian, Pagan, Crux
The shape of the latter had its origin in ancient Chaldea (Babylon), and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz (being in the shape of the mystic Tau, the initial of his name)...By the middle of the 3rd century A.D. the churches had either departed from, certain doctrines of the Christian faith.
But, unless Constantine had been misguided by the Gnostic Manichean half-Christians, who indeed used the cross in their hybrid religion, this version of the cross superimposed on the sun could only be the same old solar cross, the symbol of the Sun-deity, the centre of cosmic religion, the astrological religion of Babylon.
So, if the vision of the cross impressed him, and was used as a rallying symbol, it could not have been in honour of our Saviour, because Constantine is attested of by his persistent use of images of the Sun-deity on his coins that were issued by him up to the year 323.

 Galactic Crossing, Holy Cross, August 11, 1999
The solar ecclipse that happened on the 11th of August was not just an outline of the sun, but is a compete of obliquing of the sun - this was a perfect moment in which makind came together, most unknowing, the emergence of the Galactic Crossing.
Especially important is that towards the end of this alignment, (that some call the Holy Cross, some the Templar Cross, the Solar Cross or the Maltese Cross), there is a most significant alignment of the planets, and the Time Gate 2000, from July 4-14th.
This Templar or Solar Cross is the same as the Mesopotamian sign of Nibiru, except this cross is on its side as an X in a circle.

 Glenwood Springs Post Independent - Valley News
It's a "grid-tied" system, Guillot said, which means that the Holy Cross electric grid acts as a "battery." While the solar cells are producing energy during the day, Schlein's meter will run backwards, generating electricity for the entire grid.
Most of Holy Cross' electricity is generated from the Haden and Craig coal-fired generating stations, said Holy Cross member services representative Craig Tate.
Tate said that despite the advantages of solar energy, only about 25 Roaring Fork Valley residents - and no businesses that he was aware of - are using photovoltaic systems connected to the Holy Cross grid, most of which produce 2.5 kilowatts or less.

 The Grand Cross and Solar Eclipse of August 11th, 1999
A total solar eclipse will occur, the last one for the 20th Century, with the Sun/Moon conjuncting to form a grand square (creating considerable tension) with Mars, Saturn and Uranus.
This pattern is known as a Grand Cross.
