There is no Hindu lunar mansion connected with Auriga, instead the 5th station is at the ridiculously tiny head of Orion.
Also in the Arabic manzil system the 5th station is ruled by Heka, although July 9 (190) is a month later than June 12 (163), when the star rose heliacally:
The name Sheratan (from Al Sharatain the dual form of Al Sharat, 'Sign') indicates both Sheratan (β) and Mesarthim (γ). May 17 (137) - April 17 (107) = 30. Neither does Auriga appear in the Chinese list nor in the Tahitian star pillar list, only in Chaucer's list, where Hassaleh is named Al-kab ('the Heel'):
Possibly the reason for the non-appearance of Capella in the other lists is its location (46º N) which is outside the reach of the Moon. "... the Moon can go overhead at latitudes up to 28° from the equator ..." (Wikipedia) The Bharani star is at 27° 02' N, outside the reach of Sun. In rongorongo times Capella rose in June 7 (158) = 51 days after Sheratan. Capella (78.4) - Sheratan (27.4) = 51.0. There are 14 days in the Sheratan manzil and 14 + 13 (Pleione) + 13 (Albatain) + 13 (Al Tuwaibe') = 53. |
