"In normal space, the interior angles of an equilateral pentagon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon> measure 108 degrees each." "In Hindu Astrology <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_Astrology> there are 12 Rashis or Zodiacs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac> and 9 Planets or Navagrahas <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navagraha>. 12 X 9 = 108.
