Vindemiatrix, the Grape Gatherer, will remind us of the Mayan raincloud signs, characterizing (cfr at Vero) the 2nd half of summer. They look like grapes (black, green, white, respectively red):

Heze is ζ at the lap of Virgo and the next star in the constellation (τ) will not arrive until in line Kb4:

The epsilon (ε) sign (like a little viri) at Kb3-11 ought to induce us to perceive a beginning and maybe the long Centaurus constellation should be regarded as having its 'nose' at the curved hau tea rather than at π Centauri:

However, Rogo in the following π (3-14) glyph evidently serves as a sign for us to go back in order to in some way connect the front of the Centaurus constellation with its back:

In the picture of Hevelius we can see π and ε are at the same level, marking the back respectively the front legs. In between is the belly of the horse:

The central point on the horse's belly should be halfway from π to ε, i.e. at mago in glyph 123:

This is the 3rd and last mago in the text and the pattern seems to point at the 'nose of the Lion' or at Alphard:

September 26 can be written 9-26 and then the numbers reshuffled into 269.
