Personally I considered the Destiny Gate's symbols to some sort of universal mask.
And everytime Destiny enters a galaxy, the constellations used for that galaxy are mapped to the gate's symbols.
It's like using one and the same keyboard in different countries.
What's printed on the keys always remains the same, but you always can change the mapping, i.e.
if you use a US keyboard and enter SHIFT+2 you'll get the @-symbol.
If you map a german layout onto that keyboard though, then the same combination SHIFT+2 will get you the "-symbol, whereas the @-symbol can be accessed via ALT+Q.
I think it's the same with the Destiny-Gate.
It has a universal/generic writing on it and depending on which galaxy it arrives in it'll map the necessary constellations of the galaxy's gate network onto its symbols.
