Hello and welcome Guardians, I'll be doing research on this (sorry for the delay) and updating what i find here. Not everything i say will be directly tied to each other, im posting EVERYTHING i find. Thanks guys.

Here's something I've found. These are clearly docking ports, and the same upward "C' shape is found under the Triangle. That may imply that those are coordinates?
http://norse-mythology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Valknut-1-300x263.png
that;s the Valknut (val-noot)
[quote]This explanation is all the more plausible since the form of heathen Norse magic that the sources mention the most often, namely seidr, consisted of reaching a heightened state of consciousness wherein one could discern the web of destiny and re-weave particular strands in order to accomplish the practitioner’s purpose. Weaving in this symbolic sense and spiritual power were almost synonymous, so it should come as no surprise that a symbol involving power over life and death would be visualized as a knot.[/quote]
furthering this look closely there's a circle with an arrow poitning upwards, that arrow points towards Tower North (where the Traveler can be seen)
[quote]A less satisfying explanation that some scholars have invoked is that the Valknut could be the “Hrungnir‘s Heart” (Hrungnis hjarta) mentioned in Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda: “Hrungnir had a heart made of hard stone and pointed with three corners, just like the carved symbol which has been called Hrungnir’s heart ever since.”[5] All that this description tells us about the visual form of “Hrungnir’s Heart” is that it had a triangular shape. That’s such a general description that the idea that Hrungnir’s Heart and the Valknut are the same symbol could only really be taken seriously if the archaeological context in which the symbol appears were to match Snorri’s description. As we’ve seen, this is far from the case. The “heart made of hard stone” is utterly incongruous with Odin’s ecstatic magic.
So, given the present state of our knowledge, we can reasonably assume that the meaning of the Valknut has much to do with death, the transition from life to death and probably back again.[/quote]
So now look at the original image again. It has a circle (a flat sphere) with an arrow in it, pointing towards Tower North (which is where you can see the Traveler) Could the Traveler be...waking? in the Taken King? maybe even a new breath? giving us hope?

[quote]The crescent represents the powers of the moon- reflective and receptive. (An example of this symbol taken to its highest symbolic meaning would be the Holy Grail) A reversed crescent often represents emptiness and illusion.[/quote]
"the Holy Grail" a similar quest we could be on?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/downward.jpg
[quote]The downward pointing triangle is sometimes referred to as the chalice. It is the symbol of water (as it flows downward), the grace of heaven, and the womb. it is one of the most ancient symbols of female divinity, as a representation of the genitalia of the goddess.[/quote]
"female divinity" I personally believe the Traveler to be Alpha Lupi, the Alpha she-wolf, could this be referring to her?
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/vertical.jpg
[quote]First, a vertical axis, representing man, the body, and our upright posture, which is unique in the animal kingdom. The vertical line symbolizes the path from earth to heaven and the realm of spirit, symbolizing the dual nature of man, who embodies the spiritual and the temporal. The vertical axis equates directly to the human spine and to the tree of life, as well as to the axis mundi, the great pole around which the constellations of the zodiac revolve. These seemingly disparate ideas share a common idea- they link the earth and heavens. Thus is the concept of the connection between earth and heaven established- and also the divinity of man, who alone is built on this axis.[/quote]
"tree of life" and "connection between earth and heaven" these two are referring to my next point....
http://symboldictionary.net/library/graphics/symbols/circle.jpg
[quote]The Circle is the most common and universal signs, found in all cultures. It is the symbol of the sun in its limitless or boundless aspect. It has no beginning or end, and no divisions, making it the perfect symbol of completeness, eternity, and the soul[/quote]
"eternity, and the soul" Guardians can't die because they were given a new soul....
I'll be taking a break for food, but my current conclusion on the data i've found is that the Nine are playing their tricks again. Toying with our lives and our destiny. I think the Traveler is healing more and more, and that this is a foreshadow to her reawakening.
GAMEPLAY SPOILER[spoiler]I Just received my first encrypted patrol mission, it started with kill enemies, then critical kills, then nothing. I threw grenades melee heavy secondary crits, no improvements. But then i thought KHARRIS! i had to go to the Breach and fight him! and thought how awesome a little mission that was. Upon entering i didnt find him, but did get an update to my encryption. It read[quote]?ee?in?s ?x?r?ss??[/quote]
I moved further in. and it updated again![quote]?ee?ings ex?r?ss?d[/quote]
I went all the way back to our original revival point. danced, and it finished. then my ghost said this exactly.[quote]So that's what the message was about. Wait...Could this have been a signal sent by...Nevermind.[/quote]
Sent by...the Traveler?[/spoiler]

just came back to the tower and what do i see? Flowers. The only planter with flowers, and its where this symbol is. This symbol that suggests fertility, and new life, is the only planter with flowers. The stars are aligning Guardians.
Where will you be when the Traveler wakes?

8 RepliesIt's the Nine's logo...

It's the symbol of the golden age's special "researchers" i guess you could call them. They're supposed to be dead and had an understanding of the traveler and the light or something beyond anything left now.
-
The black part sparkles like the Taken membrane.
-
I Found something interesting about the symbol. If you look closely at the symbol you will notice it sort of 'sparkles' and if you move around while looking at it the 'sparkles' will move around. Kinda like a parallax effect.

mybe after seeing us try and invent some puzzle in VOG bungie decided to either A. give us some kind of really cool hidden puzzle/ quest to find and solve or B. is just playing a funny trick on us
-
2 RepliesI thought this was interesting, the message *could* mean "greetings expressed". Which may make sense in the terms of the ghost was expressed from the traveler.

Wow. You just blew my mind. This is just great!

5 RepliesHow do you get one of those

Also if you look on Destiny Tracker and scroll down you now have a very similar symbol within your reps, mine says -2 for thus symbols rep...... interesting. ..

Edited by GraciousEel761: 9/12/2015 4:12:22 PMHave you noticed how it sparkles when you get really close to it? It also has a smoky effect to it. I think its going to be one of those things in game that your Ghost can scan for some additional information or 'flavor' if you will. As for the Geometric symbols and where they got the idea for its design... no clue.
-
The symbol is not completely filled in for everyone. Mine does not have two side trip angles and the IX with arrows is barely visible. Could just be progress on something, like on quests.

2 RepliesI am and will continue to be a supporter of all your posts. I love the life behind the Destiny Universe and your posts make me question it as a whole. If like to know more about the patrol mission you got if possible. How did you get this mission?
-
Illumaniti confirmed.

What no one else seems to notice is that right above the symbols there are purple flowers growing. It's the only one of the plants that has flowers in it.
