The narrative assertion
"Hieronymous’s attempt to use astrological symbols to ensnare the Doctor via Venus in opposition to Saturn and a shadow over the Moon reflects the broader narrative theme of manipulation through false signs. This mirrors how Federico and Hieronymous manipulate horoscopes to murder Duke Giuliano’s father and will soon attempt again."
