... Proclus informs us that the fox star nibbles continuously at the thong of the yoke which holds together heaven and earth; German folklore adds that when the fox succeeds, the world will come to its end. This fox star is no other than Alcor, the small star g near zeta Ursae Majoris (in India Arundati, the common wife of the Seven Rishis, alpha-eta Ursae ...

I have inverted the stucture, because the 'nakshatra ruling person' (the Full Moon) should be at the Top of the Tree and the dependent dates at bottom.

... Väinömöinen, 'sage and truthful', conjurer of highest standing, is cast upon the shore of Pohjola, much as Odysseus lands on Skyra after his shipwreck. He is received hospitably by Louhi, the Mistress (also called the Whore) of Pohjola, who asks him to build for her the Sampo, without explanation. He tells her that only Ilmarinen, the primeval smith, can do it, so she sends Väinömöinen home on a ship to fetch him. Ilmarinen, who adresses his 'brother' and boon [good, maitaki] companion rather flippantly as a liar and vain chatterer, is not interested in the prospect, so Väinömöinen, ancient of days and wise among the wise, has recourse to an unworthy trick. He lures the smith with a story of a tall pine [hardly a 'pine', instead 'spruce', gran, as in the Swedish translation from the original Finnish text], which, he says, it growing

Near where Osmo's field is bordered. // On the crown the moon is shining. // In the boughs the Bear is resting.

Ilmarinen does not believe him; they both go there, to the edge of Osmo's field,

Then the smith his steps arrested, // In amazement at the pine-tree, // With the Great Bear in the branches, // And the moon upon its summit ...

Anciently (and north of the equator) Aldebaran was at the beginning of the summer year and Antares (corresponding to the bird looking back and upwards with a curved neck and a broken adze) at its end (Ba5-11).

But down in the lands of Polynesia it was the reverse, for when they late in November saw Antares at the Full Moon this was at their Morning (summer) Entrance for the Sun (Ana-mua, the star pillar in front).

The perceived right ascension distance from Aldebaran (*68.2) to Antares (*249.1) had increased through the millenia, which means they once upon a time must have stood exactly half a year apart.
