The association (south of the equator) of Antares with spring made it natural to connect it with the sun. It announces that sun is coming back from his stay with the Winter Maid. And when sun leaves in autumn, going north again to Hine-Takurua, it is Aldebaran who announces that event.

In the week Monday comes after Sunday, and Aldebaran (coming in 2nd place in the list of 'pillars') should be associated with the moon - the mirror image of sun. The declination of Ana-muri is positive (16º), while the declination of Ana-mua (-26º) indicates a position in the south.

After Monday comes Tuesday, the day of Mars. If the pattern continues, the middle pillar (Ana-roto) should be connected with Mars. The name Antares is probably to be understood as the star opposite to Mars (Ares, who has his 'house' in Aries, the Ram). North of the equator Mars has a role closely connected with the return of light and the planet was therefore in opposition to Antares.

South of the equator a third pillar should have a negative declination (if the third pillar is to be connected with sun light), and Spica has been chosen. Its declination happens to be -10º, which then presumably will associate it with the 10 months of the year.

26 is a prominent number in the rongorongo texts, and we can now appreciate its meaning - it indicates the sun by way of the declination of Antares. The Gilbertese saw Antares as marking the southern boundary in the sky:

The kuhane stations also indicate that 26 is the last station of the 'king':

26 * 14 = 364 has in the G text a telling open mouth waiting to swallow the sun:

Gb5-6	Gb5-7	Gb5-8	Gb5-9	Gb5-10	Gb5-11	Gb5-12

5 * 10 (in Gb5-10) says it in numbers: 5 ('fire', i.e. the sun) has now reached to the end of his 'fingers' (10). Fingers are associated with fire, cfr Maui and Mahuika.
