In Ga2-13
a fish is rising and in
Ga2-17 a fish is
descending. An asterism
which is rising with its
'head' first (a normal
'birth') will have a
'life' which ends at the
horizon in the west with
head down first and the
'tail' at its end.
In the
times of Gregorius XIII
the position of Al
Baldah (π
Sagittarii) was close to
the Full Moon in day 183
(ºJuly 2). Half a
year later it was the
Sun who visited Al
Baldah and this was also
the first day of the new
year. The rising fish
could allude to ºJanuary
1.
Alhena,
the star close to ψ9
Aurigae, is
γ Gemini at the left
foot of Pollux and
Alzirr is ξ at his right
foot:
4 stars
(Alhena, Alzirr, Tejat
Prior, Tejat Posterior)
- representing the feet
of the twins - ruled the
4th Arab manzil Al
Han'ah, a name
rather close to the
Polyensian word for
'earth', viz. henua.
And the name of the
preceding manzil Al
Hak'ah could easily
have influenced the
name for the Maui magic
incantation for making
things lighter (Hiki).

The
Egyptian god Heka was a
magician. The version
below has his right
forefinger pointing to
his mouth:
In
ºJuly 4 (*471) Wasat
('the
Middle', δ Gemini) was
close to the ecliptic
and it may have
represented the navel of
Pollux.
The navel of Castor
could be at ω Gemini.
Notably Castor carries a
little harp. Between
Alhena (103.8) and Vega
(281.8) there were 177
(= 6 * 29½) days.
