This woman is not dreaming. She is being crushed. Look closely. She hangs off the bed, her head thrown back and her arms limp, as if her body no longer belonged to her.

In the light of a mysterious glow, two figures emerge from the shadows in an intricate embrace.

You've probably wondered what the two symbols that represent man and woman actually mean. Representing two planets, iron, copper and a pair of Olympian gods, the classic symbols for man and woman carry a lot of meaning in just a few lines.
