La rana, questo splendido, simpatico animaletto anfibio molto comune in stagni e paludi, riconosciuto per il suo colore verde brillante ed il suo gracchiare monotono, è in analogia con l'ottavo segno astrologico dello Scorpione e con il primo segno d'Acqua, il Cancro.
Nella tradizione astrologica in realtà sono benefici ai dodici Segni dello Zodiaco vari animali:

Returning to the frog: the frog green or esculenta, also known as the common frog is a species belonging to the family Ranidae. About 12 inches long, has a back of a bright green or olive brown, sometimes sprinkled with black spots and decorated on each side, a fold rich in glands of bronze. The sides are stained black or dark brown.
The belly is white, dotted with black and gray. He lives on the margins of ponds and slow streams and dense vegetation. The slightest whiff of danger dives and disappears among the vegetation.
It 's a voracious animal that feeds on insects, including butterflies who venture above the water, larvae, worms, snails, but also bulky prey such as young frogs, small lizards, small rodents. Males, fitted on each side of the head of a bag outside voice that swells like a blister, fills the summer nights with their deafening croak.
Although one of the most common and well-known inhabitants of ponds and marshes, the frog has always struck the man's imagination, thanks to the particular aspect and, above all, for the curious life cycle, which in the amazing metamorphosis from tadpole to frog the its peak. Inspired by these oddities are so many superstitions, false credenze ed un buon numero di proverbi e modi di dire. Ad esempio, in passato, si credeva che le rane nascessero dalla terra fecondata dagli acquazzoni estivi, oppure che, essendo animali generati dalla pioggia, potessero cadere direttamente dal cielo.
Il loro gracidare era poi visto come una lode, una preghiera a Dio, ed interromperlo equivaleva a ritardare la liberazione di un'anima dal purgatorio. Altri sostenevano che nelle rane si celassero le anime dei bambini morti prematuramente, perciò guai a ucciderle o molestarle. Di quest'idea non lo sono le streghe, che con rane e rospi preparavano filtri e malefici. E quando non soccombevano nei paioli di fantasiose fattucchiere, erano usati come dimora da principi, fate o demoni.
Questo anfibio, grazie alle carni tenere e saporite, è da sempre apprezzato in cucina. Fino a pochi decenni or sono, schiere di ranari vagavano notti intere per fossi e acquitrini alla ricerca di questo batrace. Alla mattina, quando i sacchi erano pieni, i cacciatori privavano le rane ancora vive della testa e delle zampe, le spellavano e le preparavano per cucinarle fresche, di solito infarinate e fritte o, spolpate, come condimento per la pasta asciutta; oppure le mettevano via sotto sale per l'inverno. Per chiudere, le ranocchie portano bene, tant'è che gli amuleti che le raffigurano (spesso associati a simboli lunari), sono ritenuti validi contro il fascino, il malocchio e la iettatura.
Per riprendere le affinità e analogia con lo Scorpione The frog symbolizes those who desire to change your status (work, friendship, love), worsening the situation, and is said qindi they do "the jump of the frog," referring to the jump that frogs make when frightened, they throw from the banks of the ditches in the mud.
latest Beliefs about frogs and toads shed light on prehistoric ones. The European peasants believed that the toad is an omen of pregnancy. From Folklore as well as from history (Egyptian, Greek, Roman) arrive several tests to confirm that the toad was believed to be the epiphany of the Goddess and her womb.
In Jungian psychology this creature, which is not yet a human being is an unconscious impulse that has a firm tendency conscio.Nel Neolithic to become the frog is depicted in stone and often with head of woman. They are often linked to the theme of regeneration, are often represented with vulvas. The frog has always been respected for its healing properties, because the facility is a symbol of change and adaptability. About rivece gift in a branch will have much luck. Who wears this tattoo will be dynamic and vital, and will have a tendency to take care of other people's problems, the shadow side can be represented by a tendency to sovvraccaricarsi and characters can seem cold. Dream of a frog is notice of change and metamorphosis. The frog is placed in dreams, from the symbolic point of view, as the moment in which consciousness bursts, in which emerging unconscious contents to be developed and integrated. How the crocodile the frog is a cold-blooded animals and an amphibian whose existence alternates on land and water. This brings out the natural abilities, dreams in which the frog appears, a 'just natural ability to adapt, knowing how to handle unusual situations, the ability to move at ease in contrasting environments and situations. So that the dreamer can immediately think about this alternative and the possibility. Following the analysis can focus on other particular characteristics of the frog or toad: the path of transformation from tadpole transforms into an adult animal, moving in fits and starts jumping allegramente, i colori a volte brillanti a volte tendenti a mimetizzarsi con l’ambiente, il gracidio insistente e monotono. Qualità che rimandano alla metamorfosi e all’evoluzione, che possono simboleggiare la capacità di immergersi nelle situazioni senza farsene assorbire completamente e valutando altre possibilità e prospettive (saltando) e il richiamare l’attenzione su di se’, sulle proprie necessità, sulle proprie esigenze.
Da un punto di vista oggettivo la rana nei sogni è un simbolo di di vitalità ed energia, di allegra capacità di adattamento e gioia di vivere. Ma della rana va considerata anche la sua prima appartenenza al mondo delle acque e della pioggia, all’umidità feconda che la rende animale lunare e notturno il cui verso insistente richiama le pulsioni naturali, sessuali, gli istinti che si risvegliano quando la ragione si appanna. Per questa sua concentrata esplosione di vitalità fin dall’antichità la sua carne, pelle ed umori venivano usati per preparare filtri d’amore, fecondanti o volti aumentare le capacità sessuali, e nei racconti era spesso involucro sgraziato che rivelava alfine le fattezze meravigliose del principe o della principessa di turno. Immagine questa molto potente che rimanda alle infinite e nascoste ricchezze dell’inconscio, alle nuove e piene possibilità di attuazione e di evoluzione di tutti gli aspetti meno sviluppati o rinnegati della psiche. Cosi’ la rana si pone dal symbolic point of view as the moment when consciousness erupts, in which emerging unconscious contents to be developed and integrated. Killing a frog or walk in dreams can link to then not wanting to accept what emerges from the depths, or do not feel comfortable or reject the impulses of vitality or sexuality, or to deal with the hassle or intrusiveness of the vitality of others, while hear the frogs croaking in dreams may reflect on rumors, gossip, or persistent and disturbing thoughts.
Trivia: Venice - In Punta della Dogana is a naked guy, taller than 2 meters, with a frog in hand, eyes closed, facing the basin of San Marco American sculptor Charles Ray, the number of people who every day comes in Punta della Salute to photograph "The boy with the frog is very high. The second meaning of the statue Giulio Alessandri, a professor at the University Iuav of Venice, on the occasion of the lecture series "The work speaks" organized by Palazzo Grassi, together with the universities of Venice.
"The statue - Alessandri explains - is located in a panopticon. It 's almost the pivot of a rotation. The viewer has a clear view by walking around almost 360 degrees. And it is from that point that "The boy with the frog communicates with the entire city. The work is highly contextualized not only at St. Mark's Basin, which could also be the way out or the mouth of the river - the Grand Canal, but also to the whole architectural complex of Punta della Dogana. From this contextualization, to create dialogue between "The guy with the frog and the bronze statue of Fortune placed on the golden shovel to Punta della Dogana. Fortuna is represented, as tradition says, balancing on a ball floating on the sea, with a single tuft of hair on his head. E 'from there you take the Fortuna. Skip for a moment and could not return. "In the same way - continues Giulio Alessandri - the boy took the frog. A stroke of luck, not skill, that turns into bad luck the same frog who has lost his freedom. And Fortune, you know, is a spinning wheel. The statue on the golden shovel, not surprisingly, moved by the wind moves, impossible to predict the movement. " The themes of instability and of being the "volatility" of the moment are very dear to the artist Charles Ray. "The Boy in the frog" is clearly the representation of the end of childhood and the beginning of an age that is unstable by definition, adolescence. The aim is to destabilize the artist's perception. So the statue, which is in white steel, and deliberately excessively (more than 2.5 m) leads the frog, and not the child, at eye of the beholder. "A second story - adds Giulio Alessandri -. The frog may be kissed and trasformasi into something else. " And to think that that guy is almost a "special surveillance." An armed guard does not take away from the statue's eyes even for a moment, while the evening is protected by a transparent display case. "The same author of the work - says Giulio Alessandri - if they complain. Too much supervision for a child who is used to run naked in the woods in complete freedom. "
The Japanese however, as agriculture in Japan are very important fields of rice grown with irrigation methods ad inondazione, la rana è simbolo di buona fortuna.
La rana, inoltre, è diventato un simbolo molto amato nella poesia e nell'arte (come ad esempio la Rana di M. Bashou):
L'ombra del bambù spazza gli scalini di pietra
Ma la polvere resta.
La luna si riflette sul fondo dello stagno
Ma non tocca l'acqua.
Statuette delle rane vengono spesso vendute nei templi perché la parola "rana" in giapponese si pronuncia come la parola "ritorno". La pioggia delle rane, uno dei piu strani episodi del Vecchio Testamento è stato poco rappresentato nella storia dell'arte. Mosè andò al faraone Ramses chiedendoli di eliberare il popolo di Israele dopo 400 anni di schiavitù. Il Pharaoh snubbed. Moses prayed to God and He sent the 10 plagues of destruction on the Egyptian people. One of these is''the 10 plagues of frogs rain.'' The symbolism of the frog is attached to this allegorical metaphors: E 'animal Moon (Cancer) corresponds to water, symbol of the dark matter and is not yet Differenciate. A symbol of resurrection because of his metamorphosis: the soul is on its way while the body sleeps. . Assocciati are his jump, and scattered thoughts that torment fragmentari meditation. . In some images is a symbol of teaching reluctant and repetitive (the way in which they learned the 10 commandments). . Symbol of the incarnation of the land fertilized by the first rains of spring. . Ogoade in the group of eight Egyptian, 7 frogs over a snake) that includes four pairs of elemental forces which make the creation ORGANIZATION world and is a symbol of immortality. .
