We 'know' that Saturn inhabits the solstices, and if Gagana is Venus, then she may well be connected with Saturn and with day 236, because the Maya manipulated her morning star cycle to coincide with 8 lunar months:

Although gods are dual and have both a male (rising) aspect and a female (ascending) aspect, we would perhaps prefer to identify Gagana with Saturn, and the Venus design is found at Saturn:

On Hawaii both Saturn and Venus were named Naholoholo, and horo means to wash down, to swallow etc. In Sweden we have an old name for December 24, 'dopparedagen' which means the day of dipping. There are two days connected with entering (or being swallowed by) water, viz. June 24 and December 24.

Double eyes similar to those of (the presumed) Gagana god are found also in connection with the 19th odd 5-day long month at the end of the Mayan year:
