Bulgarian hexagrams

Hexagrams appear on Bulgarian postage stamps issued in 1993. Based on the context it seems that they represent the planets or the stars.  

Double Trines

I asked Israeli astrology expert Khoschen-Klein Monius about appearances of the Star of David symbol in astrology and he answered that astrologers speak about Double Trines (aspects) that form this symbol on the astrological map. (Trines= equilateral triangles).

Then I Googled “Double Trines” and found out that in November 8-9, 2003, there was a lunar eclipse along with a configuration of 6 planets creating a Star of David formed by the two Grand Trines (Double Trines).

It sounds quite interesting to find out if that date, November 8-9, 2003, changed someone’s personal course of life, or if it changed the global course of life – what do you think?

Hexagrams Representing Zodiac Signs

Picture of Mary with the twelve zodiac signs (hexagrams) is courtesy of “tpol33” from Flickr who shot it at the Cathedral of Cologne, Germany. The Statue is called Virgo Immaculata and it was made in 1749. This is the first instance of hexagrams representing zodiac signs that I stumbled upon.

It seems like an illustration of Revelation Chapter 12:

1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman

2 clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Rosy Cross Hexagrams

Hexagrams appear on the top corners of this illustration, which is titled:

Hexagram with Planet Glyphs

The six glyphs of the planets surround the Sun; each glyph occupies another triangle of a hexagram. Picture is from Opus Medico-Chymicum, an alchemy book by Johann Daniel Mylius published in 1618. The usage of the six-pointed star to represent the planets is a new discovery for me, and I’ll appreciate it if readers could refer me to articles about this subject, or to other pictures that show this kind of usage.

I reckon that the planets in this illustration represent the days of the week, while the zodiac signs represent the months:

1. Sun Day
2. Moon Day
3. Mars day
4. Mercuri day
5. Jupiter's day
6. Venus Day
7. Saturn day
