Bb6.3

Only by going back (reculer pour mieux sauter) and jumping upwards and around (salto mortale) can we avoid such a lethal flood of associations:

Safely returning to terra firma, although in a reversed (Sun) orientation:

Once upon a time the Bull in the Sky ruled, but later it was the Horse. Mother Goat and her kids were at the beginning of the B text and the Charioteer had no Horse. *74 < *80 (→ Sirrah, the Navel of the Horse) = *74 + *6.

When the Full Moon anciently had been at this place it had marked the transition from summer to autumn (when the disappearance of the Sun would make the stars appear more bright, just as like after a drink of kava):

Counting from the He Goat (Al-maaz, ε) at the back and above the pair of kids (ζ and η) at the time when they were visible close to the right ascension line of the Full Moon we will reach day 584 + 40 (= 576 + 48) = 624 at the end of line Bb5, viz. at the last week of the Sun. The Mesopotamians had the Tail of the Goat at the beginning of their list of ecliptic constellations:

... About Carmenta we know from the historian Dionysus Periergetis that she gave oracles to Hercules and lived to the age of 110 years. 110 was a canonical number, the ideal age which every Egyptian wished to reach and the age at which, for example, the patriarch Joseph died. The 110 years were made up of twenty-two Etruscan lustra of five years each; and 110 years composed the 'cycle' taken over from the Etruscans by the Romans. At the end of each cycle they corrected irregularities in the solar calendar by intercalation and held Secular Games ...

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

How can we integrate all these impressions from the B text with the Venus pentagram?

To begin with we should make a table for the zodiacal stations visited by Venus:

1900-07-08

1902-02-14

1903-09-17

1905-04-27

1906-11-30

1907-09-14

1908-07-04

Cancer

Aquarius

Virgo

Taurus

Sagittarius

Virgo

Cancer

And then also a Λ table for those 7 constellations not visited by Venus:

Aries

Gemini

Leo

Libra

Scorpio

Capricorn

Pisces

In the same way as γ was λ upside down so was Λ like the sign of Aries upside down.

And 7 was the mystic number of the surface of the Earth:

... Once upon a time there was an old woman who owned a great potato field where she planted her potatoes in spring and harvested them in autumn. She was famous all around for her many varieties of wonderful potatoes, and she had enough of them to sell at the market place. She planted her potatoes 7 in a row, placing her foot in front of her as a measure from one potato to the next. Then she marked the place with a bean - which would also give nourishment to the surrounding potatoes. Next she changed variety and planted 7 more followed by another bean, and this was the pattern she followed until all her 214 [1902-02-14] varieties had been put down in their proper places...

... The iconography of the West Building, with 7 exterior doorways (7 is the mystic number of the earth's surface), and figures of Pawahtun - the earth god as a turtle - indicate this to be the Middleworld, the place of the sun's descent into the Underworld. The East Building has mosaic elements reflecting the old war cult of Teotihuacan, where tradition had it that the sun was born; thus, this may also be Middleworld, the place of the rising sun ...
