Is It January Yet?

Unfortunately, no. Not quite yet. However, one month from this day will be the beginning of the middle of the second season (if that makes sense). That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Battlestar time is nigh. Rejoice!

You know, it's been so long, we might need a recap on who is and is not a Cylon.

Happy to oblige.
1. "Aaron" is derived from "Aries." Aries is associated with the gift of God, which is speech, and Aaron Doral is a PR guy. So, Aaron Doral's model = Aries the Ram = Number One.

Aries. Symbol: The Ram. Key Phrases: I Am, I Do. Key Word: Activity. Tribe: Gad.
Disposition: Cardinal (creative). Element: Fire. Planet: Mars. Archangel: Malahidiel.
Jungian Archetype: The Ordinary Guy.

3. "Simon" is derived from the tribe of "Simeon," one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Simeon is associated with Gemini. So, Simon's model = Gemini the Twins = Number Three.

Gemini. Symbol: The Twins. Key Phrases: I Think, I Communicate.
Key Word: Versatility. Tribe: Simeon. Disposition: Mutable (changeable). Element: Air.
Planet: Mercury. Archangel: Ambriel. Jungian Archetype: The Caregiver.

5. "Leobon" is derived from "Leo." "Leobon Conroy" means "Leo the King." One of Leo's key phrases is "I Give" and Leobon had a "gift" for Kara. So, Leobon Conroy's model = Leo the Lion = Number Five.

Leo. Symbol: The Lion. Key Phrases: I Will, I Give. Key Word: Magnetism. Tribe: Judah. Disposition: Fixed (determined). Element: Fire. Planet: The Sun. Archangel: Verchiel.
Jungian Archetype: The Sage.

6. Number Six (Natasi, Shelly Godfrey, and Gina's model) = Virgo the Virgin, of course. "Gina" is short for "Virginia," which means "the maiden." "Godfrey" means "Peace of God," a possible reference to the Virgin Mary as well as Natasi’s angel status. Natasi also claims to be the mother (virginal in a sense) of the hybrid baby. "Natasi" is similar to the tribe of "Naphtali," which is associated with Virgo. One of Virgo's key phrases is "I Help" and Natasi "helps" Baltar frequently, in rather interesting ways.
Also, "Natasi" backwards makes "I, Satan" and Six, as a contraction of 666, is a number associated with Lucifer. Is Natasi a fallen angel?

Virgo. Symbol: The Virgin. Key Phrases: I Analyze, I Help.
Key Word: Practicality. Tribe: Naphtali. Disposition: Mutable. Element: Earth
Planet: Mercury. Archangel: Hamaliel. Jungian Archetype: The Lover.

8. "D'anna" is derived from the tribe of "Dan," which is associated with Scorpio. “Dan” means “to judge or vindicate.” "Biers" is derived from the archangel "Barchiel," also associated with Scorpio. According to Lucy Lawless, under her veneer of sophistication D'anna is a vicious (stinging?) animal. So, D'anna Biers' model = Scorpio the Scorpion = Number Eight.

Scorpio. Symbol: The Scorpion. Key Phrases: I Desire, I Eliminate. Key Word: Intensity.
Tribe: Dan. Disposition: Fixed. Element: Water. Planet: Pluto. Archangel: Barchiel.
Jungian Archetype: The Jester.

10. "Sharon" means "fertile field" or "princess." “Fertile field” refers to Caprica Sharon’s pregnancy, and in Hebrew Capricorn is symbolized by the Kid (the baby goat.) “Princess” fits Caprica, the most prominent Colony. Caprica was also the home of Gaius Baltar, whom Caprica Sharon is the opposite of (the human gone over to the Cylon side, the Cylon gone over to the human side, and both have a connection to the hybrid baby). "Valerii" means "a warrior or rebel, valiant." Capricorn is associated with the tribe of Zebulun, which is connected with marriage. So, Sharon Valerii/Boomer’s model = Capricorn the Goat = Number Ten. Capricorn is also associated with the archangel Hanael, one of the rulers of the seven heavens and an angel connected with sexuality. Capricorn = goats = satyrs = Saturn, all of which are realted to sexuality and procreation.
In relation to Galactica Sharon, “Sharon” is similar to “sharain”: in Arabic myth, a voice that tells one to do bad things (the devil on one’s shoulder often seen on TV) and “Valerii” is similar to “Valium”: a sleeping pill. “Boomer” is a slang term for synthetic lifeforms in the anime series “Bubblegum Crisis.”

Capricorn. Symbol: The Goat. Key Phrases: I Use, I Organize. Key Word: Ambition.
Tribe: Zebulun. Disposition: Cardinal. Element: Earth. Planet: Saturn. Archangel: Hanael.
Jungian Archetype: The Ruler.

#s Two, Four, and Twelve (women) and Seven, Nine, and Eleven (men) remain unrevealed.



9? The Arrow of Apollo fits the statue of Sagittarius. Sagittarians are supposed to be idealistic and have a passion for justice, as is the associated archangel Advachiel. The Lagoon Nebula, which Lee Adama pointed out on the Star Map in the Tomb of Athena, is “in” Sagittarius in the modern era although at that time it was “in” Scorpio. Sagittarius is associated with the tribe of Benjamin. “Benjamin” means “son of my right hand.” Apollo is the son of Zeus/Jupiter. So, Lee Adama/Apollo may = Sagittarius the Archer = Number Nine.

Sagittarius. Symbol: The Archer. Key Phrase: I Understand, I Sacrifice. Key Word: Visualization.
Tribe: Benjamin. Disposition: Mutable. Element: Fire. Planet: Jupiter. Archangel: Advachiel.
Jungian Archetype: The Hero.

Apologies for my prolonged absence, for the next couple of weeks I will be up in the mountains, away from civilization and an internet connection.

I'll be in Holland.
I hope you like the addition of the Planets, the Archangels, and most importantly the Jungian Personality Archetypes. They definitely relate.

Don't want to spoil you for the next half-season, as you don't like that, but I will say your theory'll maybe have more proof.

AAARRRGH! I just checked the SciFi.com show schedule and apparently Resurrection Ship Part 2 won't air until 1/13!!! I have to wait another *&%$** week!?

Ressurection Ship Part 1 is tonight's episode. Ressurection Part 2 will air next week. I believe the final episode of 2.0 was "Pegasus". So no, you do not have to wait another week...that would be just torturous.
