Happy New Year you all,


In medieval astrology there were two systems used to draw a chart, one 
with the Sun in the center (Sidereal) and another with the Earth in the 
center.

The seven elements used were called "planets": Moon, Sun, Mercury, 
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Plus a few stars.

Considering the Earth in the center of a chart, in f67v2, the square 
could mean 90 degrees apart, not necessarily exactly 90 degrees,  
because an orb is allowed,  depending on the system one uses. Triangle 
is 120 degrees. Cross considers four planets, one 180 degrees and two 
90 degrees.

I read in the list archives where someone suggested they might
be planetary conjunctions, so I've been running Starry Night looking
for them.

I have candidates for the NW, NE and SE segments, but am still
doing research.

I think the object in the middle is a city. The Sun and Moon are 
setting/rising
over trees, and the Author of OFMM saw the events depicted.
