2. Albali at the left fist of Aquarius seems to be connected with a rau hei sign and presumably the front side covers 230 days with Sun present followed by 242 days when he is absent:

We could say that the 'black cloth', which temporarily covers the face of Sun, arrives with rau hei at Albali. Interestingly another picture (by Flamsteed) shows Aquarius as a youth with a piece of cloth in his left hand:
Allen:
"The constellation immemorially has been represented, even on very early Babylonians stones, as a man, or boy, pouring water from a bucket or urn, with an appropriate towel in the left hand, the human figure sometimes being omitted; while the Arabians, who knew of the latter but did not dare to show it, depicted a mule carrying two water-barrels; and again simply a water-bucket."
A water-bucket ought to correspond to the hipu (calabash, shell, cup, jug, goblet, pot, plate, vase, bowl, any such receptacle) sign in rongorongo, and Gb2-27 (where 22 and 7 could allude to π) is therefore a prime candidate for an important star in Aquarius:

Tagata looking back (and down) in Gb2-30 (a Thursday) could represent the end of the front side of the year (day number 230 as in 2-30).
