The Lucky Star of Hidden Things was the last Arab station before the equinox month:

... γ, 4.1, greenish, on the right arm at the inner edge of the Urn, and the westernmost star in the Y, is Sadachbia, from Al Sa'd al Ahbiyah, which has been interpreted the Lucky Star of Hidden Things or Hiding-places, because when it emerged from the sun's rays all hidden worms and reptiles, buried during the preceding cold, creep out of their holes!

But as this word Ah Biyah is merely the plural of Hibā', a Tent, a more reasonable explanation is that the star was so called from its rising in the spring twilight, when, after the winter's want and suffering, the nomads' tents were raised on the freshening pastures, and the pleasent weather set in. This idea renders Professor Whitney's 'Felicity of Tents' a happy translation of the original.

ζ, η, and π are included with γ under this designation by Ulug Beg - ζ, in the centre marking the top of the tent; Kazwini, however, considering this central star as Al Sa'd, and the three surrounding ones his tents ...

Also the Hindu perceived corners in time 314 days after 0h and 24 days later:
