Sun & Mercury in Virgo – Today, Sept, 3, 2025.
Virgo is the six pointed star.
The Soul calling to the personality.
The personality lifting up, blending fusing with the Soul.
Thus the six pointed star.
Virgo – I am the Mother (earth), pregnant with the Holy Child (Soul). The Father (Spirit) & I are One.
Six pointed star:
The star of Solomon (Seal of Solomon), the hexagram – appearing in all religions –
across different cultures, including Hinduism, Christianity (as the “Creator’s Star” – the Trinity), in Judaism (Star of David), in occult traditions, in ceremonial magic, in alchemy – it symbolizes the reconciliation of opposites, the elements harmonizing.
In esotericism – it’s the visualization when reciting the Soul Invocation – I am the Soul, I am Light Divine, I am Love, I am Will, I am Fixed & Perfect in my Design. I am the Soul.

Saints Day today – astronomy, Gregorian calendar.
The Seasons.
Pope Gregory XIII’s primary connection to astronomy was the commissioning of the Gregorian calendar, a reform of the Julian calendar, to correct the misalignment of Christian feasts with the seasons caused by the Julian calendar’s inaccurate length of a year. This reform, developed with the help of astronomers like Aloysius Lilius and Christopher Clavius, involved a one-time deletion of ten days and a new leap year rule, establishing a more accurate average year length. Gregory also supported the Church’s institutional interest in astronomy, establishing the Vatican Observatory’s precursor in 1582 to study the universe and ensure accurate timekeeping for religious purposes.
