Seven circles that are uniformly spaced apart and intersect to form a symmetrical flower-like pattern make up the 2D (two-dimensional) geometric symbol known as The Seed of Life. The symbol is generally shown with an outer circle, making a total of eight circles (7 inner circles and 1 outer circle).
The Seed of Life is seen as the first and original shape from which all other parts of creation emerge, making it a potent symbol of creation.
The centre circle represents the Sabbath or the mind of the Creator, while the outer six circles stand for the six days of creation. The seven circles also stand for the seven chakras, seven alchemical metals, and seven days of the week.
The concept of eternity, or the endless cycle of life is represented by the outer circle, which is the eighth circle.
