Symbolism
Symbolism is everywhere. Symbols are manifestations of energies, and show up as guidance or as confirmation of your own intuitive 'gut feeling' about something.
Whatever you see, and notice 'at a soul level' will mean something specifically to you and your current situaion. You may go 'oh wow, I just saw a feather and I was just thinking about my loved one', or you notice that snail on the road, or you suddenly hear some geese above you and you look up - you will know when it is a 'soul message'.
If you research the symbolism of the animal, the feather, the color, the flower, etc. - you will find out what the message was about. Sometimes, we notice something that holds information at the collective level, if we are occupied with these thoughts as well.
Interpreting symbols in our everyday life can help us know exactly what is going on inside us, as they show us what we are manifesting at the given time.
DNA spiral, spiral of life, physical life, 'upgrade'
When we see the DNA helix in visions, or in the outside world, it tells us of upgrades, activations, or expansion of our existing dna codes.
When the DNA spiral comes into your life, take note of any experience of 'shifts' in your perception of the world, or of your own existence, or spirituality.
During meditation (in 2010) I saw a rainbow colored dna spiral descending from a clear sky. On other later occassions I saw clouds forming the dna spiral. Around the years 2010-2011 I also started noticing new buildings in several countries were constructed and built in the spiral design. Was some kind of 'global upgrade' being introduced?
Numbers appearing on clocks, receipts, car license plates and so on, as life guidance.
Numerology in general plays a big role in our lives, whether we notice it or not.
If you have started noticing number combinations, you will find that they provide invaluable guidance. The information will help you find direction in life, confirm your life path and current activities, and help you build your trust in the Universe etc. etc.
Try to investigate your house numbers, your postal codes, important dates in your life etc. and you are bound to find amazing correlations and hidden information.

Peacock, totem animal, spirit guide
The Peacock brings a message of 'daring to show your true colors'. Peacock symbolism can often coincide with times when you are coming out of your shell or when a little 'nudge' can help you on the way. Know that you are fully supported!
Majestic, self-confident, psychic abilities are also key words for you to take note of, when this enigmatic and beautiful being comes into your life one way or the other.
Vortices, energy points, portals, earth ley lines converging
A vortex like this, could signify you going through some sort of expansion. See yourself in the middle of the energy vortex, input swirling around you, going deeper within. At the same time, it shows your ripple effect on your surroundings.
During healing and energy work, the vortex signifies energy being removed and lifted to higher vibrations to be cleared and purified.
Vortices can also symbolise links or portals to other realms and dimensions.
Creation, wheel of creation, alchemy, 13 instead of 12 (12 around 1), the numbers 12 and 13, rays
The "12 around 1 theories", are widespread and almost sacred - but this vision had 13 'rays' coming out from one source!
We have been programmed to believe that 13 is an 'unlucky' number, but I think it has an almost 'magic', all-powerful vibration, and that it is connected with creation. I believe the number 13 has yet to come to full use.
Some also suggest there are 13 galaxies in our universe, which this vision could be symbolising, as there was a very high energy vibration surrounding the vision.
I had the vision in a dream sometime around 2005/2006, and drew it on paper straight after waking up. The vision was very clear, in color choice and every detail.
Orbs
Orbs can appear in photos - sometimes red, like this one, sometimes blue or green. I have seen them appearing mostly in nature pictures.
One theory about orbs, is that they are energy forms representing other-dimensional spirits/visitors, spirit guides, angels, or even passed loved ones - and their color bears a significance or explanation.
Looking up different color meanings can help define who or what is making an appearance. It will make sense to you and your situation.
