1. The star Mirach is β Andromedae, and it is rising about 1h earlier than the northern tip of the plough Apin (nowadays γ Andromedae):

There is half a month from Sirrah (α Andromedae) to Mirach, and at last we have found a star which can be put in the central (most important) part of the structure:

Gb6-26 (409) - Gb7-11 (422) Gb7-12 (423) - Gb7-17 (428) Gb7-18 (429) - Gb7-29 (440)

  Alrisha (438.2)    

From the previous similar (but falling on its face) hau tea there are 12 days:

116 181 11
Ga5-1 (112) Ga5-2 Ga5-3 Gb7-1 Gb7-2 (413) Gb7-14 (425)
300 12
314

Father Light (Jupiter) is at the end of the old year and his son (Mars) at the beginning of the next year. 413 + 64 = 477 = 177 + 300.

(413 is not only equal to 14 * 29½ but also to 314 reversed.)
