Vesica Piscis
The womb of creation
The Vesica Piscis is formed by the intersection of two circles of equal radius, each passing through the other's centre. The almond-shaped overlap between them is one of the most fundamental forms in sacred geometry.

The Vesica Piscis represents the union of opposites, heaven and earth, masculine and feminine, spirit and matter. The overlapping region is seen as the space where two worlds meet and new life is born. It is the geometric basis for the Flower of Life and contains within it the proportions of the golden ratio. In Christian art it became the mandorla, the halo of light surrounding sacred figures.
History & Origins
The Vesica Piscis appears in ancient Egyptian and Greek sacred art, in the architecture of Gothic cathedrals, and in early Christian iconography. The fish symbol (ichthys) used by early Christians is derived from it. It is a foundational form in sacred geometry, appearing at the heart of the Flower of Life.
