Uta has two tattoos of crosses on his right arm: one in the center of the kitsune’s forehead and the other is next to the body of the serpent. Additionally, he has a circle of eight (this number again!) equal armed crosses on his hips but we’ll get to that soon.
The cross symbolizes the human desire to know and experience the mysteries of life. Its meanings are hope, life, honor, faith, unity, balance, transition, temperance, ascension and navigation. Its symbolic stations are self, nature, wisdom and god/goddess. The cross is a symbol that represents the meeting place of the divine energies.
Each arm of the cross symbolizes a branch of higher wisdom with the center representing our spiritual destination. It also represents navigation. It’s a symbolic compass that guides our spiritual thoughts. You can say it divides itself into three different navigations: spiritual, cyclical and time. In spiritual it re-centers our focus and moves our thoughts in the right direction. In cyclical it symbolizes the transition of the seasons and is a reminder of the transition of time; the transitory nature of our lives. In time it marks the four seasons and delineates day and night.
The bars of the cross also have important meanings. The top half of the horizontal bar represents the sunrise while the bottom half represents the sunset. The vertical bar of the cross represents past and future with the center being the present.
The cross is a symbol for the planet Jupiter and is present in its glyph. Jupiter is the planet for the Sun sign Sagittarius, Uta’s zodiac sign.
