getting the circle right

Specifically, in the waiting room there is a circle shape to reflect the vesica pisces, amplifying its significance, as, it is also literally a strong partition wall enclosing the waiting area.

There are three tones of colour spaced around this circle inlay to symbolise the triple goddess symbol as three stages in a woman's life: the Maiden, as birth (independent, self-centred, seeking), the Mother, as giving birth (interrelated, compassionate nurturing, creating), and the Crone, as death and renewal (holistic, remote, unknowable).

The Triple Goddess Symbol is also used in the children's play area and is is composed of waxing crescent, full moon, and waning crescent. At times, the crescents are tilted upwards to simulate the appearance of a young waxing moon above the horizon after just after sunset, and of an old waning moon above the horizon just before sunrise.

The symbol is sometimes combined with a pentagram. The crescent consists of a 120° arc inscribed within a 180° arc (i.e. what is left over when a vesica pisces figure is inscribed within a circle). This shape is an approximation to the astronomically-correct crescent moon.
