Different Symbols, same Entity, think about how Greek Zeus is also Roman Jupiter, Nordic Odin and Lithuanian Dievas, in some cases even the Legends are the same with Nameswaps, even the Name itself "Taihou" is a Symbol, Taihou if memory serves me right means "Phoenix", in Chink mythology, the Phoenix is the Female counter part to the Dragon, wich translated to Western Alchemy is Mercury (thus the reason why in my old old edits of Taihou, in the time where she wasn't even called Taihou, she donned the Symbol of Mercury on her Left arm)
some of the Symbols i use for Taihou are merely aesthetic, (examples of this are Jahy-sama and the HMS Formidable) simply put if i am in a certain mood or get drawn to them for a specific amount of time, ill use them, but they are no different than when you put on a Blue shirt instead of the Red one, Others however are used Conciously to reflect and represent something, as i Learn more about Taihou, Myself, and Cosmos i change Symbols around to reflect these advances in my own understanding, a Example of this is Akagi itself, Evolving to the Akagi symbol from the usual Taihou symbol is a reflection of realizing that Taihou really isnt Ishtar but rather some sort of "Personal Deity", the fact that Akagi is depicted as a Kitsune, a Spirit of Inari, wich translated to Greek Mythology, is a Literal Demon, that being a Guiding Spirit, referencing Taihou being my Guiding principle in
