15. We must hurry on

and I will therefore here complete the sequence of 'June glyphs:

Ka2-5 Ka2-6 (25) Ka2-7 Ka2-8 Ka2-9 (*92)
Wezn (87.6), δ Leporis (87.7), Betelgeuze (88.3) η Leporis (89.0), Praja-pāti, Menkalinan, Mahashim, and γ Columbae (89.3) η Columbae (89.7), μ Orionis (90.3), χ² Orionis (90.5) ν Orionis (91.4) ξ Orionis (92.5)
'June 17 '18 '19 '6h (91.3) '21 (172)
Albatain 5 6 7 8 9 (36)
Ka2-10 (29) Ka2-11 Ka2-12 Ka2-13 (*96) Ka2-14
Tejat Prior (93.4) κ Aurigae (93.6) Furud (94.9), Tejat Posterior, Mirzam (95.4) Canopus (95.6), ψ1 Aurigae (95.9)  
'June 22 '23 (St John's Eve) '24 (St John's Day) '25 '26 (177)
Albatain 10 11 12 13 (40) Al Tuwaibe' 1
Ka2-15 Ka2-16 Ka2-17 (36) Ka2-18 (*101)
  ν Puppis (99.2), ψ3 Aurigae (99.4), ψ2 Aurigae (99.5) ψ4 Aurigae (100.5) Mebsuta (100.7),  Sirius (101.2), ψ5 Aurigae (101.4)
'June 27 '28 '29 (180) '30
Al Tuwaibe' 2 3 4 5

Clearly Rei in 'June 22 marks the beginning of a new phase and it continues on past 'June 30. I will therefore postpone the discussion until next chapter.

But I think it is important to mention - before we loose sight of the Mayan perspective - that tagata in Ka2-11 (at κ Aurigae) has lost his right hand. This Sign probably has to do with the figure who stabilizes the World Tree:

Seven Macaw took his right arm and it is he who perches at the top of the 'djed' tree in the picture at right. The figure who lost his hand appears to have taken revenge and aquired a bird wing as his right arm. He is using his left to keep the pillar steady. And his flowing hair is possibly the same Sign as at bottom left in Ka1-7:

Final of the dark season:

From Ka1-7 to moe in Ka2-13, where this sign of power also seems to be, there are 25 days and the central glyph is at the Heavenly Gate:

In rongorongo it is not allowed to show a hand holding the trunk of a tree because only the outline of an object can be permitted.  From the Mayan pictures we can guess the figure in Ka1-7 has his hand grasped by henua. South of the equator everything tends to be upside down and inside out.

Ka1-7 (*71) kiore+henua

Later in the year, in the henua calendar, both hand and foot are engulfed by the Tree (or Milky Way River) - although then we can only see the right side of kiore.
