Sacred Geometry -How the Vesica Piscis Becomes the Seed of Life
Sacred geometry beautifully maps the unfolding of life. One of the most fundamental journeys in this language of symbols is how the Vesica Piscis transforms into the Seed of Life — a powerful story of creation, harmony, and unity.
Geometry and the Seed of Life
In the heart of sacred geometry lies a simple yet powerful symbol, the Seed of Life. While it may appear to be just a series of interlocking circles, this ancient pattern holds deep meaning, bridging the worlds of science, spirituality, and self-awareness. At Spica Healing, we love working with sacred geometry because it speaks directly to the soul reminding us of the harmony, wholeness, and divine order within all things.
What Is the Seed of Life?
The Seed of Life is a geometric figure made of seven overlapping circles, each spaced evenly and forming a symmetrical flower-like pattern. It is often viewed as a part of the larger Flower of Life, which expands infinitely, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all life in the universe.
But before it becomes a flower, it starts as a seed, just like all forms of life.
The Creation Story in Geometry
In sacred geometry, the Seed of Life is more than a design. It's a blueprint of creation. It begins with a single circle (known as the Vesica Piscis) and grows outward:
First Circle – Represents unity, wholeness, and the Source.
Second Circle – Symbolizes duality and balance (often seen as Divine Masculine and Feminine).
Third circle: Introduces the trinity—mind, body, spirit or maiden, mother, crone.
· Fourth to Sixth circles: Keep expanding around the original circle, creating a petal-like pattern.
· Seventh circle: When placed at the top, it completes the Seed of Life, a flower-like pattern of seven interlocking circles.
This pattern echoes the story of Genesis in many spiritual traditions, creation unfolding step by step, in harmony and divine order.
Symbolism and Meaning
Each circle within the Seed of Life represents an aspect of creation: light, sound, vibration, form, matter, spirit, and consciousness. The overlapping of circles reminds us that nothing exists in isolation. We are connected to each other, to the planet, and to the universe.

It’s no wonder this sacred pattern is used in temples, spiritual artwork, healing practices, and even modern design.
How the Seed of Life Supports Healing
At Spica Healing, we view the Seed of Life as a reminder that healing is a return to your natural, harmonious state. Just as each petal in the Seed of Life contributes to the whole, each part of you—mind, body, and spirit—matters.
When your energy is aligned, you reconnect with the innate intelligence of life itself. The Seed of Life can be a guide in this journey:
Meditate on it to realign with your soul’s purpose.
Visualize it during Reiki or energy healing to invite balance.
Use it in your space as a sacred symbol of peace and unity.
A Tool for Transformation
The Seed of Life is more than a symbol. It's a gateway into deeper self-awareness, into understanding the nature of the cosmos, and into trusting the unfolding of your own life path. Just like a real seed, all the potential is already within you.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You only need to begin.
