The first 4 rakau glyphs could have been in one
season and the last pair in another. 261 - 89 = 172 (and 172
could have been
the day number for the solstice in June):

When the Sun reached the sting of the Scorpion it
was time for the Full Moon to reach Tau-toru, the 3
'stones' at the Belt of Orion. This was evidently the place for
Toromiro. North of the equator summer was over while south of
the equator summer was arriving.
This pair - the sting of the Scorpion and the
star corresponding to the pyramid of Khufu - ought to have been signs for (temporary)
death ('ashes') respectively for (re)birth ('ignition'). At the time
of the Bull (El Toro) the Sun had reached day 280 (40
weeks):

Cb1-6 could perhaps have referred to the cycle of Venus,
because at the time of rongorongo the night after the midnight
culmination of Fomalhaut was number 584 counted from 0h in the
previous year.

If we should count also the empty glyph space
before Ca1-1, then the cycle of Jupiter could have ended at
Cb1-6, but counting the nights of Venus the beginning would not
have been at that place but 584 - 399 = 185 days earlier:
