The Five Pointed Star

"The Five Pointed Star: This picture, known to all Masons, is that of the Soul. It is the Star of Bethlehem, which heralds the coming of the Christ within. The two clasped hands are the spirit and body united In the marriage of the Lamb. It is from the union of the higher with the lower that the Christ is born. " -The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 38

"The clasped hands represent the united man in which the higher and the lower are working for their mutual betterment, by a co-operative rather than a competitive system. The five-pointed star is the soul body, born of this co-operation it is the living Philosopher's Stone. " -The Initiates of the Flame Manly P. Hall pg. 41

This union is also called the Hermetic Marriage.
