1. In our own zodiac Orion is not a member of the 12 constellations, perhaps because it is connected with the death of Sun at summer solstice - the 6th right ascension hour ends a quarter beyond spring equinox (north of the equator):
I have not presented any picture of Orion as yet, but now is the time: The 3 Belt Stars of course adorn the belt of Orion and his left foot touches the River (Eridanus). The club raised high close to Gemini is positioned where the 6th hour is ending. The left arm of Orion is hidden behind the Lion, whose tail is hanging down into the River. The right paw of the Lion is absent. Therefore it seems that Orion is composed by a pair of persons, one without his left limb and the other without his right limb, one fully alive and the other with eyes closed and seemingly dead. The midline of Orion goes from Heka and down across his belt to his sword and to the place of his 'little one' - marked by the Greek letter iota (ι), a letter without any dot (head). We must begin to learn also how the letters were used as Signs on the star charts, for instance can we observe how a string of π stars mark the left side of the Lion, who evidently ends in the 5th right ascension hour. We ought to go back to the 5th hour to put in parallel all these π stars in Orion with the glyphs in G, to see if we can identify any of the many cycles which seem to end there. |
