3. I am now pleased to be able to present a picture of the eye which Kjellson had seen in the redmarked circle above the higher of the two fishes in Pisces:

(The source is the internet page which I have labelled Dendera Zodiac among my references.)

Although the drawing is crude we can clearly see that this great eye is a wedjat, and because it is a right eye it should refer to the Sun (the left eye being the Moon). Kjellson would then be wrong, it is probably not a sign of the Moon:

The curious 'scroll' sign at bottom  (left for the Sun) could represent the 'whirlpool' from where Sun ascends rather than the 'tear-line' of the cheetah which Wilkinson suggests as an explanation:

Though in sign language redundance is necessary, and the fastest runner is a good image for spring, escpecially if his eye has left a track moving upwards. Wilkinson also refers to the 'stars' on the fur of the quick cat.

With a Sun child (Harpokrates) immediately above Libra and a wedjat Sun eye immediately above Pisces there obviously must be a connection. Both are inscribed in circles and both are at equinoctial signs.

The upper eyelid is in this wedjat prominently drawn and somewhat overshadowing the eye, and I guess it represents the 'opening eyelid' at spring equinox.

The Sun child at Libra could mean that a new Sun has been born there (at the beginning of winter). Counting by the Sun (clockwise) and beginning with Libra we can see that Pisces is the 6th sign of those blackmarked by Kjellson.

Cancer is number 10. Presumably it means that Sun has 10 months. Then comes Leo which has been uplifted into the sky:

If pare occurs in the location of wedjat, then we should be able to count 4 months further on to Cancer, where Sun should be turned upside down - his 10 months having come to an end according to the 'hour-glass' model (when all his 'fingers' are used up).

We should also expect to find some trace of the halfway mark to 10 (X is formed like 2 hands), and this halfway station would come 1 month earlier than pare. Maybe this is the reason for Aquarius with his two pitchers. Following the path dictated by Moon a dark flood will then reign until Sagittarius stops up the flow and raises the tree by shooting his 'arrow' into the 'hole'. The separation of Sky from Earth at Pisces could then be the cause which created the flood - Moon wishing to revert the situation equally well as the Sun with his tears.

There is a rectangular water reservoir in the center of Pisces. With Sun (Sky) represented by wedjat at the higher of the fishes we can expect 'Water' to be at the lower of the fishes. I have guessed there is a little hippopotamus in the lower of the two circles, a creature which most of the time is down in the water.
