For more explanations of the concept and every specific part of the design elements see below.
Aquila (Eagle) constellation
Aquila lies on the celestial equator. It consists of about 120 stars visible to the naked eye. In antiquity, it was called Zeus’ bird (DiÓs Órnis). Initially, it also included the stars of Ganymede, whom Zeus grabbed as an eagle and raised to Olympus to become his cupbearer, limiting the role of Hebe. Later on by the will of the emperor Hadrian the stars of Ganymede, on the wings of the Eagle, were named after his protégé, Antinous.

The planet is named after the god Jupiter and its largest moon is named Ganymede.

Ivy*
As an evergreen, ivy is a symbol of immortality. Its blooming and fruiting stand in contrast to the vine's annual cycle. In Greek mythology, it is the plant of Dionysus along with the vine.
Ivy leaves also adorn the head of Hebe, the personification of eternal youth, who offers the drink of immortality to the gods of Olympus. The liberated celebrated an annual festival in her honor as a liberating goddess.
* In Greek, Hebe (Ήβη) is pronounced almost identically to the word ivy.
Fire
The energy of thought is fiery. The fire was acquired by humans in violation of the divine will and therefore set their soul on fire as a punishment. It serves them while also devouring them. It offers Freedom from ignorance while at the same time revealing the limitless power of Necessity.
