Because the Sun is seated on the lion, and the Moon is seated on the crab... To me this means the creatures — meaning the elements — are four in total, and two elements are under the Sun’s domain, and the other two belong to the Moon.
So here’s what it means: The Sun is a Merkabah, The Moon is a Merkabah, And in the center — Mercury — is the fusion of those two Merkabahs. That’s how we get Mercury from the Sun and the Moon. So the Sun: in volume it’s an eight-pointed star, in the plane — a six-pointed star. And the Moon is the same...
And Mercury is a sixteen-pointed star in volume.
