I am using such labels as Christmas Eve
in spite of the fact that Bharani ruled much
earlier than in the Christian era - viz. around 1068 B.C. -
because this method seems to be necessary in
order to keep the order of time in full view.
The rebirth of the souls of men in Cancer ought to
have been when Bharani ruled the northern spring
equinox, and perhaps at Ga3-15, i.e. in "June 26 (177 =
6 * 29½ = 360 - 183).

The 'arrow' of the
belt stars (Tui / Kui)
could have represented the lingam part of the
junction, the part which 'expired' in
the process:
... There is a couple residing in one
place named Kui and Fakataka.
After the couple stay together for a
while Fakataka is pregnant. So
they go away because they wish to go to
another place - they go. The canoe goes
and goes, the wind roars, the sea
churns, the canoe sinks. Kui
expires while Fakataka swims.
Fakataka
swims and swims, reaching another land.
She goes there and stays on the upraised
reef in the freshwater pools on the
reef, and there delivers her child, a
boy child ...
