Beyond the silent bird in day 273 according to C, and at the time of Al Sharatain, was 'October 1, whereas the face of the Full Moon was at 'April 1 (100). October is an autumn month north of the equator, but south of the equator it was a spring month.

But first rose in withershins order Asellus Tertius, Ascellus Secundus, and Ascellus Primus (κ, ι, respectively θ Bootis), at his uplifted left hand, which once held a sickle:

Palm tree, coconut tree; hua niu, coconut. Vanaga.

Coconut, palm, spinning top.  P Pau., Ta.: niu, coconut. Mgv.: niu, a top; niu mea, coconut. Mq.: niu, coconut, a top. Churchill.

The fruit of miro. Buck.

T. 1. Coconut palm. 2. Sign for peace. Henry

The sense of top lies in the fact that the bud end of a coconut shell is used for spinning, both in the sport of children and as a means of applying to island life the practical side of the doctrine of chances. Thus it may be that in New Zealand, in latitudes higher than are grateful to the coconut, the divination sense has persisted even to different implements whereby the arbitrament of fate may be declared. Churchill 2.

In the Babylonian zodiac this was the place of the Mad Dog who held the time division line in his left hand. Not far from Toliman (α Centauri, the star closest to our own Sun) was Yang Mun (South Gate, α in the Wolf constellation):

... Mad Dog (Lupus) The Mad Dog is probably a relic of an ancient star configuration which included the now derelict Bison-man. Together they constituted a version of the 'Lion-bull' conflict, which is widely thought to symbolise the seasonal conflict between summer and autumn. Here the bull, who represents the autumn rains slays the lion of summer.

The Sign of Saturn was on this line too.
