The Spanish Coat of Arms is composed by six other coat of arms:
The gold castle in a red background, which symbolises Castile
The red lion in white background, symbolising León
The red and yellow stripes of Aragon
The golden chains of Navarre
The pomegranate flower of Granada
The fleur-de-lis of the House of Bourbon
On either side of the Coat of Arms are the Pillars of Hercules, an ancient name given to the Straits of Gibraltar. The phrase plus ultra means 'further beyond' in Latin, and in this context it means beyond the Straits of Gibraltar, referring to the Americas and the former Spanish territories. Over the pillars, an Imperial Crown on the left and a Royal Crown on the right. The symbol of the Pillars was first used by King Charles I of Spain who was also Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, which explains the presence of the Imperial Crown.

About me:
When Hanz was born, the Sun was in the Sign Aquarius, the Rebel, the Genius, or the Exile. Hanz's basic sanity and vitality depend on a constant diet of experiences that many people might consider strange, eccentric, or at least grossly impractical. The key here lies in the realization that every culture, society, and family is inherently conservative, an observation which typically applies even more stringently to sub-cultures -- try being a hippie with a crew-cut, a New Ager who doesn't think "organic is better," or a rapper with the brim of his cap facing forward! Add one more point: for Hanz, the experiences that are inherently invigorating and meaningful happen to be ones that are culturally encoded as "a little weird." So: the saner he becomes, the more unusual he will look! It's as simple -- and as complicated -- as that. There is so much potential for questioning and doubting all the "received wisdom" of the world in Hanz that he will either trust that path no matter where it leads him -- or wind up releasing that defiant energy in pointless ways: various symbolic rebellions, icy emotional detachment, and general contrariness. Naturally, anyone who is wired to understand him is not going to be someone of a militantly, nervously conventional character! No such person could follow Hanz very far down the road of his free-spirited, independent destiny.
