If we look at the basic shape of the orbit of earth around the sun, for example, we find it has been divided into twleve surrounding seven - twelve constellations in the zodiac behind seven visible planets. The circle around the central point we see when we look at the ellipse of our orbit from above the axial central point has become a new shape, and this is its shadow: twelve around seven, the double twisted ellipse of twelve around the axial central point of seven. This symbol of the Alchemist Henry Agrippa is nothing but the 2-space shadow of the 3-space shape of a double twisted ellipse around an axis. Knowing of the 2-space shadow, then, let us study the 3-space shape itself.
