It looks like there is, but there is some disagreement about what day it's on: http://www.goldenratio.org/phi_day.html

Thank you Poffo, for your interesting post. Lots to think about. At the risk of quibbling, I will point out that 3.142857 is closer to 3.14159 than is 3.140000. Not by a lot, I'll grant you, but 22/7 is a slightly better approximation.

So, it's interesting that the circle, which naturally contains the Logoic hexagon (and thus the hidden 7), has the pi ratio inherent to it and pi's simplest fractional approximation is 22/7 which relates to the archetypes.
I agree. It's fascinating and intriguing. Thank you for the hexagon graphic. I hadn't realized that a hexagon contains seven circles.
