Main Entry accretion diskFunction noun a
disk of usually gaseous matter surrounding a
massive celestial object (as a black hole) in
which the matter gradually spirals in toward and
accretes onto the object as a result of
gravitational attraction

In Astrological Terms

• An accretion disc is a structure formed by
  diffuse material in orbital motion around a
  central body. The central body is typically
  either a young star, a protostar, a white dwarf,
  a neutron star, or a black hole. Instabilities
  within the disc redistribute angular momentum,
  causing material in the disc to spiral inward
  towards the central body. Gravitational energy
  released in that process is transformed into heat
  and emitted at the disk surface in form of
  electromagnetic radiation. The frequency range of
  that radiation depends on the central object.
  Accretion discs of young stars and protostars
  radiate in the infrared, those around neutron
  stars and black holes in the X-ray part of the
  spectrum.
• A black hole is a region of space in which the
  gravitational field is so powerful that nothing
  can escape after having fallen past the event
  horizon. The name comes from the fact that even
  electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light) is unable
  to escape, rendering the interior invisible.
  However, black holes can be detected if they
  interact with matter outside the event horizon,
  for example by drawing in gas from an orbiting
  star. The gas spirals inward, heating up to very
  high temperatures and emitting large amounts of
  radiation in the process.

Financial Definition

• Accretion
• Asset growth through addition or expansion.
• Accretion can occur through a company's internal
  development or by way of mergers and
  acquisitions.
• In reference to discount bonds, it describes the
  accumulation of value until maturity.
• Bonds at discount are sold below face value and
  mature at par. In the duration between the bond's
  issuance and maturity, no additional value is
  actually being accumulated within the bond but
  accretion occurs with the paper or implied
  capital gain.

Symbolism

• Gathering of elements gathering place of minds,
  ideas, and creation of synergy.
• Release of energy and radiating light onto the
  dark universe.
• Forms around neutron stars and black holes some
  of the most powerful objects in the known
  universe powered by the inescapable force of
  gravity.
• Representative of the life cycle of stars,
  galaxies, the universe, and other celestial
  objects.
• Well-being a lifestyle based on balance (of
  work, play, relaxation, a balanced nutrition, and
  personal growth with the eventual goal of
  achieving self-actualization). Accretion is a
  part of a stars cycle of life and death, birth
  and destruction, creation and destruction. A
  cycle of life which ancient Asian cultures
  symbolized with the Yin and Yang representing an
  inherent balance of all things in the universe
  and in recognition of a cycle in all things that
  exist.
• In terms of finance, growth of assets through
  addition and expansion, internal development, and
  mergers and acquisition.

Pros and Cons

• Pros Its rife with symbolism, and has much
  depth and is rich in meaning.
• Cons Can be difficult to convey the message
  without extensive explanation.
• Pros Probably not a word thats used very often
  or well known to the public. Its a fairly
  unique word, and stands out and should not be
  difficult to build an image or an idea around it.
  Creation of a brand will be on a blank slate,
  not around any previously existing misconceptions
  or prejudices.
• Cons Word may sound a bit harsh/edgy (not quite
  cacophonous, but not melodious either). The
  closest sounding word that the public is aware of
  is probably secretion, which does not conjure a
  very positive image.
