Description
This is the transmutation circle that my fan-character for HagaRen uses for Air alchemy. Her name, if anyone cares to know, is Mireille LaNoire, and she's a Major General in the military at the Southern headquarters. (Yes, she's French; no, France is not on the map in the FMA world.)

The symbols within the circle here are actual symbols used in alchemy (I've been doing tons of research about it lately, and I even bought a book about it), and almost all of them have something to do with air.

Circles: Duh, it's a transmuation "circle"; but circles usually represent the flow and continuity of life in alchemy
Eight-pointed funky star: Represents "creation"
Triangle with a horizontal line near the top: Represents the element of Air (I connected the second triangle to the bottom of it just because it looks neat)
Eagle: A common representation of the Air element, especially in old alchemical pictures (Earth is a lion or ox, Water is a fish or a whale, and Fire is a salamander or dragon)
The "M" symbol: The sign for Scorpio, which represents the alchemical process of Separation, which is associated with the Air element
The "male gender sign": The symbol for Iron, the metal associated with the Air element (and also with the process of Separation)
The crescent moon: Alchemically, it represents silver (Although it has nothing to do with Air alchemy, it looks pretty)
The "target": Actually supposed to be a sun, it represents gold (I added this 'cause it looked pretty, too)

So, that expains it... I'm sick of typing, so farewell! (If anyone wants information on alchemy or alchemical symbols, I've got about 20 pages of it from various sources that I can send to you. *EDIT: I LOST THIS INFORMATION WHEN MY LAST COMPUTER DIED. Sorry for the trouble.)

Here's a link to my FIRE-based transmutation circle ( [link] ) and my EARTH-based transmutation circle ( [link] ).
