'V' Constellation
The 'V' constellation is the celestial alignment we see in the show from time to time.
The 'V' shape is first seen in Michael's visions in the episode 'Balance', and later in Nasedo's cave he puts the healing stones into the wall, and they for a glowing 'V'. 
The 'V' constellation first seen in the sky in 'Balance' after Liz and Max 'take a step back'. Then it is seen in various episodes after that, in the sky and Liz even sees it in visions. Michael figures out it is the constellation Ares, and uses it to decipher a location on the map in Nasedo's cave. It leads him to the library, and though he doesn't realize it, the 'destiny book' is hidden inside. 
In the episode, 'Tess, Lies & Videotape', Max and Liz research the 'V' constellation, and this is what they find. It isn't exactly the ares constellation. 
They enter the current date and find it is Ares rotated with Venus added to make the top point of light. Liz mentions that Venus started moving into that position about the time Tess came to town. Conincidence? What the constellations means, and why it keeps showing up in dreams and visions is never explained. 
Later, we learn that the 'V' Constellation is also the royal seal of Max's house/regime/planet/whatever and it is 'stenciled' on his brain to prove he is the real king. The five points of light represent the five planets of their system, and the bottom light represents their home world. 
How this fits in with the above info is anyone's guess. Did the aliens choose the 'V' constellation to use on the map because it reminded them of the royal seal? Does it mean something else? Why does Liz keep seeing it? |
