			[[File:Mercury hexagram.gif\|thumb\|The [[Mercury hexagram]] from a geocentric point of view. The yellow circle symbolises the apparent orbit of the [[Sun]].]]

			[[Mercury]] has a synodic orbital period of about 116 (exactly 115.88) days. From a geocentric point of view, this results in an approximately equilateral triangle (trigon) in the course of a year if you connect the three points of Mercury's orbit closest to the Earth (3 x 116 = 348, i.e. a little less than a year with rounded 365 days. Another, but larger trigon becomes visible if the points furthest from the earth are connected in the same way. Both triangles together form a hexagram. This cosmic archetype is the basis of many three- or six-fold earthly forms. A typical example is the 3- or 6-rayed symmetry of the Lily family ([[w:Liliaceae\|Liliaceae]]).
