Description
A mixture between the Li compass and clow's magic circleI was torn between adding the yin-yang in the center or not. It looks nice either way. All the characters are in chinese, except for the four little seals in the corners, which are kanji. Basically, I don't know what sakura's or clow's symbols mean, and I found the explanation of the compass, so most of the symbols are based on it.
--The four seals in the top of the circle from left to right:
Moon, Star, Dark (Yami), Sun (last one on the bottom)
--Corresponding elements (the ones that point each seal):
Moon-water, Star-wind, Dark-earth, sun-fire
The rest of the characters are the other elements, seasons and the four cardinal points.
Vectoring done in CorelX3 and modified the colors on PSP10
Edit: thanks to *skuzzy-punk-kid for the list with the translations *I lost mine XD* Look below to the comments if interested ^__^

Wow. Though it looks more like a combination of Syaoran's and Sakura's Magic Circle. Makes you wonder what would result if you took attributes of both types to create a new magic like Clow did

I translated most of the Kanji and the Han Yi, but I can't make out that one opposite of Moku/Ki (flanked by Fēng and Oni). Also, I wonder if there is also a symbol underneath the star, between Kaminari and Fēng, or did you intentionally leave that blank?

First of all, thanks for the interest ^___^
I used to have the list of all the symbols used, but it got lost on my dad's pc. I can't remember what most of them say, only the big ones, because I can't speak chinese or japanese.
For the first question, I'm not quite it is either, but here's a bigger pic, maybe you can figure it out: [link]
The second question, you'll be glad to know, that there is in fact a corresponding symbol. I browsed for the corel file and here it is [link]
If I'm not mistaken, that one is Tian.
Could I possibly ask you for the list of translated symbols? I would really appreciate it ^___^

Okie-dokie!
Note: I finally found that symbol that I didn't understand earlier, and I have included it among the translations.
Key: The parentheses indicates whether the symbol is in Han Zi or Kanji; I'll also include alternate symbols. For the translations: the first word is in Pinyin (romanized Chinese words), the second is in Romanji (romanized Japanese).
The 1st four are as follows:
-月 (Han Zi & Kanji): Yuè, Tsuki (Moon)
-星 (Han Zi & Kanji): Xīng, Hoshi (Star)
-日 (Han Zi & Kanji): Rì, Hi (Sun)
-闇 (Han Zi & Kanji): Àn, An/Yami (Darkness)
The 2nd set are the Cardinal points:
-北 (Han Zi & Kanji): Bèi, Hoku/Kita (North)
-东 (Simplified Han Zi, the older symbol is 東
-南 (Han Zi & Kanji): Nán, Nan/Minami (South)
-西 (Han Zi & Kanji): Yāo, Nishi (West)
The 3rd set are the seasons:
-冬 (Han Zi & Kanji): Dōng, Tō/Fuyu (Winter)
-春 (Han Zi & Kanji): Chūn, Shun/Haru (Spring)
-夏 (Han Zi & Kanji): Xià, Ka/Natsu (Summer)
-秋 (Han Zi & Kanji): Qiū, Shū/Aki (Autumn)
The final set are the elements:
-雷 (Han Zi & Kanji): Léi, Rai/Kaminari (Thunder)
-天 (Han Zi & Kanji): Tiān, Ten (Heaven)
-风 (Simplified Han Zi, the older symbol is 風
-电 (Simplified Han Zi, the older symbol is 電
-鬼 (Han Zi & Kanji): Kuài, Ki/Oni (Demon)
-火 (Han Zi & Kanji): Huǒ, Ka/Hi (Fire)
-金 (Han Zi & Kanji): Jīn, Kin/Kane (Metal)
-地 (Han Zi & Kanji): Dì, Chi (Ground)
-土 (Han Zi & Kanji): Tǔ, Tsuchi (Earth)
-木 (Han Zi & Kanji): Mù/Shù, Moku/Ki (Wood)
-神 (Han Zi & Kanji): Shēn, Shin/Kami (God/Spirit/Mind)
-水 (Han Zi & Kanji): Shuǐ, Sui/Mizu (Water)

Some corrections to the Hanyu Pinyin (the mumber in the brackets indicates the pitch - because the computer I used don't have the special characters):
北 - bei (3)
西 - xi (1)
鬼 - gui (3)
木 - mu (4)
神 - shen (2)

Thanks.
I got the original pinyin/romanji transliterations from Wiktionary; I suppose the website is still rather incomplete, because it didn't include "Xi" for 西 (I think it's pronounced "Hsee").
"Gui" I think is the vocal pronunciation of "Kuài." I'm still trying to learn the Pinyin system. I'm guessing that the name "Meng Huo" would be pronounced "Mung(Mong?) Hwa," but I could be mistaken. I always welcome corrections.
