The period of 40 black days from the rising Venus fish in Gb5-14 ends with a strange creature in Gb6-24 (which could be Mercury, Wednesday, due to the number of days from Venus - 2 less than 6 * 7 = 42):

38
Gb5-14 (368) Gb6-24 (407)
242
Ga6-22 (163) Gb6-23 (406)

Rau hei in Ga6-22 is like a descending 'fish' (sacrificed person), while the rising Venus fish in Gb5-14 is its opposite, a sign of 'rebirth' - the other side of the 'coin of life'.

'Temporary death', as when mimosa leaves fold and droop, implies a following 'rebirth'. Gb6-23 is like the rising Venus 'fish', at a position of 'life'. The next glyph (Gb6-24), much the same in design, is at the other end, at the position of 'death'.

Gb6-23--24 is the 2nd pair in a quartet:

Gb6-21 Gb6-22 Gb6-23 Gb6-24

The creatures in the two redmarked glyphs have their 'eyes' (more properly holes) close to their 'mouths', which presumably means they are young (with focus on eating and growing).

The two which I have blackmarked are at the other end of 'life' - their 'eyes' have advanced towards the back side - maybe meaning they now have their focus on what once was, a more contemplating state of mind.

In Monday, according to H, this very rare glyph type (mea) is used for illustrating waxing and waning moon, and we can therefore deduce that this quartet represents a double month. Waxing alternates with waning.
