.1654

The feast day of St Agnes, Patron Saint of young virgins, is 21 January; * and on the Eve of St Agnes, a young girl might see in a vision her future husband.

21^st January marks the astrological division between Capricorn and Aquarius. The date 17^th January, if I recall correctly, has some sort of significance for the actual or invented conspiracy pursued by three journalists in ‘The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail’.

It is also an early period – 17-21, that is – in the arc r~ of the inner circle, on a yearly calendar, where C is c21-25/12; the quality of r~ is, of course, Love, and its creative archetype is a young, innocent and beautiful girl, xS.
