If we should have adapted as a model of cosmos 'an hourglass' (Mount Meru), then there should be no 'primal embrace' - the 'letter X' has Sun present more or less high in the sky at all times. We could say, however, that one of his eyes is open towards north and the other towards south, but that they never are open simultaneously. One of them is shutting its 'eyelid' at summer solstice when the lid of the other eye is about to open. Two eyes are seen in my prototype of pare:

The 'whirlpool' at the bottom of the V-forms in X is where 'the door' is opening and closing time and again. Through this opening water flows up and down forming the tides and reversing direction upon the command of the Moon. With an Y-model it is probable that the idea of a whirlpool has a place also there. It should be at the bottom of the figure V (five, fire) in Y. If so, then 'water' should be below. And when Sun returns from the water, rising up again as if in a waterspout, he returns through the same hole (at Alnilam where the boiling 'pearls' are quite similar to teardrops). Though in time it is different, 'the eye' has been closed during winter.

A 'whirlpool' is located between Scorpius and Sagittarius, says Hamlet's Mill:

"All 'change stations' are found invariably in two regions: one in the South between Scorpius and Sagittarius, the other in the North between Gemini and Taurus; and this is valid through time and space, from Babylon to Nicaragua. Why was it ever done in the first place? Because of the Galaxy, which has its crossroads with the ecliptic between Sagittarius and Scorpius in the South, and between Gemini and Taurus in the North."

Once again, the round Dendera zodiac as a map for orientation:

Between and below Gemini and Taurus there is a great blue figure, and he is walking (like the 2nd of the black twins above), which presumably means time is moving (from a standstill at the preceding blue figure). A star chart will show that the great blue figure probably is Orion.

Above Orion there is an important point in the sky, where the Galaxy rises like a tree from the the ecliptic path of the Sun. Moreover, today this point also coincides with the maximum height of the ecliptic over the equator of the sky (6 hours after Sun has risen at spring equinox north of the equator). Some 26000 / (24 / 6) = 6500 years ago the maximum height would have been between Cancer and Gemini, but the Galaxy would have crossed the ecliptic as today, between Gemini and Taurus. Gemini seems to represent the two halves of the sky, one of them standing still (winter) and the other moving (summer).

The other point, between Scorpius and Sagittarius lies 18 hours after spring equinox and the 'galactic tree' is here (today) crossing the ecliptic at is lowest point below the sky equator.

Aquarius comes close to 'midnight' (22 - 23 hours after spring equinox), i.e. he comes after the 'whirlpool'. Maybe it means the water from the pool has risen high when we arrive at Aquarius.

Sagittarius is shooting his arrow into the whirlpool, we can guess. Surely this arrow is nothing else than the Cosmic Tree once again (the Galaxy). The arrow causes the water to react. But if so, then time is running according to the Moon. Satit is shooting her arrow in the correct order, viz. before the whirlpool (if time runs counterclockwise). Sun is not causing the waters to rise, it is the work of Moon.

From which follows that Aquarius comes before Sagittarius and the whirlpool. Likewise Khnum (in the darkest of times) precedes Satit. Time moves towards the rising Sun. At the beginning of time there was only darkness (water). Khnum and Aquarius are 6 months apart, one representing the underworld and the other water. Counting counterclockwise from Khnum 10 months are needed to reach Aquarius.
