I am using such labels as Christmas Eve in spite of the fact that Bharani ruled much earlier than in the Christian era - viz. around 1068 B.C. - because this method seems to be necessary in order to keep the order of time in full view.

The rebirth of the souls of men in Cancer ought to have been when Bharani ruled the northern spring equinox, and perhaps at Ga3-15, i.e. in "June 26 (177 =  6 * 29½ = 360 - 183).

The Chinese name for this station, Stomach, resembles the name of the 7th Tahitian 'star pillar', Ana-Tahua-Vahine-O-Toa-Te-Manava ('pillar for elocution'), which pillar referred to Procyon (α Canis Minoris), a star which rose 73 (= 365 / 5) days after Bharani:

The 'arrow' of the belt stars (Tui / Kui) could have represented the lingam part of the junction, the part which 'expired' in the process:

... There is a couple residing in one place named Kui and Fakataka. After the couple stay together for a while Fakataka is pregnant. So they go away because they wish to go to another place - they go. The canoe goes and goes, the wind roars, the sea churns, the canoe sinks. Kui expires while Fakataka swims. Fakataka swims and swims, reaching another land. She goes there and stays on the upraised reef in the freshwater pools on the reef, and there delivers her child, a boy child ...

Tui
