The soft woman could refer
to Virgo, a long constellation reclining as
if on a sand-bank between the hemispheres:
Her right arm is pointing
upwards. Her first Greek lettered star (ω)
rose heliacally 175 (half 350) days after
March 21 and her next star (ξ) was precisely at
RA day 177:

Alaraph is
β
close to the ecliptic, which
maybe accounts for its letter
although there are Virgo stars
which are brighter. The final
stars of Leo are close by, 93
Leonis and Denebola.
Next rose π and
ο close to 12h and together
with the arrival
of Corvus (5 days after Deneb-ola):

The
Raven constellation (I
have blackmarked its
stars) appears to be overshadowing
the stars of Virgo, but
they come together the
day after equinox, with
Zaniah (η Virginis) and
Chang Sha (ζ
Corvi).
No wonder
the Chinese found their
'Long Sand-bank'
(Chang Sha)
interesting although its
visual magnitude (5.20)
makes it virtually
invisible. On the other
side of the sky (or the
other side of the
equator) Ankaa and
κ rose together the day
after, in manzil day

At
Porrima (γ)
the Virgo figure is split
up in 3 paths, one
leading up, one
leading down, and
one continuing to be
close to 0º. This
fact may have been
considered when the
creator of C decided
to put a broken
Sun stick inside Ca7-24.
Here the path (rule) of
Sun can be imagined
as split up in a
pair of diverging
paths with the
torso of Virgo
emerging from the
center.
From August 25 (237)
to September 30
(273) there are 36
days, possibly
alluding to the
'decades' of the solar
year. From October 1
(274) to November 6
(310) there are also
36 days. The 'Moon
calendar' covers 36
+ 1 + 36 + 1 = 74
days.
Halfway through and
beginning the 2nd
half is ψ where the
Greek letter could
be used
to illustrate how the body of
Virgo continues
ahead with one arm
pointing up to
Vindemiatrix and the
other down to Spica.
According to
Hevelius, though,
her right arm is
pointing past the
tail of Leo and
towards Ursa Major:
