The curving henua in Gb7-24 is obviously not the same as the curving henua in Ga1-3. The first of them marked the day before 'March 21 and the other the day before MARCH 25 - therefore they could not have been drawn identical:

Likewise could not vaha mea at the First Point of Aries be drawn precisely as vaha mea at Aldebaran. They were similar but not the same. There were 41 glyphs = 41 precessional days from the one to the other, i.e. Aldebaran was approximately 41 / 365¼ * 26000 = 2919 years earlier at 0h than Sheratan.

The key which I once found could unlock the secrets of the G text was how vaha mea in Ga1-4 was 'the same' as mago in Ga7-16:

In the picture below I saw a scorpion close to the world tree and it must be the Scorpion constellation, I thought. If it was so important, then it ought to also be among the glyphs on the G tablet:

But there was no such figure among the glyphs. Then I considered the fact that there were no scorpions on Easter Island. Moreover, south of the equator - which should correspond to the domain of the Moon (a fish in mythology) - the mago (shark) type of glyph could be the best way to illustrate the Scorpion.

mago
Mago

Spotted dogfish, small shark. Vanaga.

Mogo, shark. P Pau.: mago,  id. Mgv. mago, id. Mq. mano, mako, mono, moko id. T. maó, id. In addition to this list the word is found as mago in Samoa, Maori, Niuē, and in Viti as mego. It is only in Rapanui and the Marquesas that we encounter the variant mogo. Churchill.

Metoro was certain, I could see, that this type of fish with a curved tail was mago and I used his statements together with other clues to sort  'fishes' of various kinds in my glyph catalogue:

Different alternatives to enter into the catalogue and find fishes (or fishlike glyphs):

tail down tail down tail down tail down or up 'tail' up or down 'tail' up
 straight tail  bent tail  bent tail  straight tail  straight 'tail'  straight 'tail'
fins fins no fins no fins no 'fins' 'fins' or no 'fins'
 GD27  GD62  GD26  GD38  GD47  GD64
Some variants:
Mouth closed:

Then my at that time well trained eye perceived the clearly intended similarity between vaha mea in Ga1-4 and mago in Ga7-16. If this mago represented the main star in the Scorpion (Antares), then it could be Aldebaran (the other great red star at the opposite side of the sky) which was depicted as a rising vaha mea fish in Ga1-4. Counting glyphs between them the result was clear: the position of Ga1-4 in relation to Ga7-16 indeed agreed with what could be expected:

180
Ga1-4 Ga7-16 (185)

They were the same, but not identical. Aldebaran was at a corner in time and so was Antares. South of the equator Ana-mua was in front and Ana-muri at the end of the summer half of the year. North of the equator Aldebaran was at the beginning and Antares at the end.

The G text has Aldebaran at day 5 and Antares at day 185. When people on Easter Island saw Aldebaran close to the Full Moon it meant the Sun was at Antares.

Counting backwards in precessional time it became clear that Aldebaran at the Full Moon should be at MARCH 25 (and not at 0h). Otherwise the SEPTEMBER equinox would not be at Antares.
