If you plot the exact position of Venus where it first appears shortly before sunrise after a period of invisibility and repeat this process until we have five positions then draw a line from the first point marked to the second point marked,then to the third,and so on the pentagram within a circle will be the design-iconic symbol.

The five-pointed star would appear either upright or inverted depending on when a person began to observe and plot the positions of Venus. Only the planet Venus can recreate this five-pointed star sign.





An example of a pentagram or an inverted five pointed star is found on the icon of the Transfiguration by Andrei Rublev (1405),now located in the Moscow Annunciation Cathedral.





I could go on but by now I think that you get the point. As to your questioning my logic I could do the same for yours. I would also question how much you studied the topic of pentagrams outisde of reading evangelical counter-cult literature.

I haven't studied pentagrams much other than noticing the contrast between early Christian sybology and the more current use as satanic symbol. Satan tends to screw up everything.

Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star. KJV

Being a NASA kid I understand the Venus correlation althoug you could do better pictures with a spirograph. What other designs could you make?... but until Apollo 11 we didn't have any moonstones. Where did the LDS get theirs? shoe
