In Babylonian times the southern Fish below Aquarius and the fish of the Lady of the Heavens, Anunitum, both had their mouths closed, in normal fashion for fishes down in the sea:  But in modern times the 'water' was no longer there, because precession had pushed 0h (where 'land' could be said to begin) well into Pisces:  The conclusion should be that these fishes ought to be drawn with their mouths open to illustrate how they desperately were gasping air close to dying:
 ... Considering the fact that the crossroads of ecliptic and Galaxy are crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned with the Precession, the reader may want to know why the Mangaians thought they could go to heaven only on the two solstitial days.

The Galaxy is a very broad highway, but even so there must have been some bitter millenia when neither gate was directly available any longer, the one hanging in midair, the other having turned into a submarine entrance ...
