Bull, Lion, Eagle and Human: Four Seasonal Figures
Bull, lion, eagle and human form the four-part seasonal language used in Babylon Seasons. Each figure opens a different question about what to form, express, release or understand.

Where do the four figures appear?
Revelation 4:7 describes four living creatures with the appearances of a lion, a calf, a human face and a flying eagle. The passage supplies the figures. Babylon Seasons brings them into a teaching cycle with Hebrew letters, fixed zodiac chambers and four movements of human life.
The sequence on this site begins with the bull in spring, then the lion in summer, the eagle in autumn and the human in winter. That seasonal arrangement is Babylon’s reading of the figures; Revelation does not give their seasonal dates.
The four seasonal correspondences
| Figure | Letter | Season | Movement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bull | ו Vav | Spring | Give a beginning a form |
| Lion | ט Tet | Summer | Express and sustain |
| Eagle | נ Nun | Autumn | Recognize and release |
| Human / Water-Pourer | צ Tzadi | Winter | Reflect and reorient |
Why the fixed chambers matter here
The site places Vav with Taurus, Tet with Leo, Nun with Scorpio and Tzadi with Aquarius. These are locations within the northern seasonal quarters. Their chamber passages are distinct from the equinoxes and solstices that mark the quarters’ astronomical boundaries.
The interactive seasonal view lets you choose a cycle and follow its calculated sky. Begin with a figure, read its question, then open the calendar to explore how the planetary positions change.
A cycle you can use
These movements can support an ordinary decision. A project may need form before expression. An exhausted commitment may need completion. A pause may make a future direction easier to see. Start with the movement that helps you understand your situation; the calendar does not require everyone to be at the same life stage.
