Beyond the silent
bird in day 273 according to C,
and at the time of Al Sharatain,
was 'October 1, whereas the face
of the Full Moon was at
'April 1 (100). October is an
autumn month north of the
equator, but south of the
equator it was a spring month.
But first rose in
withershins order Asellus
Tertius, Ascellus Secundus, and
Ascellus Primus (κ,
ι, respectively θ Bootis), at
his uplifted left hand, which
once held a sickle:

Coconut, palm, spinning top. P Pau., Ta.: niu, coconut. Mgv.: niu, a top; niu mea, coconut. Mq.: niu, coconut, a top. Churchill.
The fruit of miro. Buck.
T. 1. Coconut palm. 2. Sign for peace. Henry
The sense of top lies in the fact that the bud end of a coconut shell is used for spinning, both in the sport of children and as a means of applying to island life the practical side of the doctrine of chances. Thus it may be that in New Zealand, in latitudes higher than are grateful to the coconut, the divination sense has persisted even to different implements whereby the arbitrament of fate may be declared. Churchill 2. |
In the Babylonian zodiac this was the
place of the Mad Dog who held the time division
line in his left hand. Not far from Toliman
(α Centauri, the star
closest to our own Sun) was Yang Mun (South Gate, α in
the Wolf constellation):
... Mad
Dog
(Lupus)
The Mad Dog is probably a relic of an ancient star
configuration which included the now derelict Bison-man.
Together they constituted a version of the 'Lion-bull'
conflict, which is widely thought to symbolise the
seasonal conflict between summer and autumn. Here the
bull, who represents the autumn rains slays the lion of
summer.
The Sign of Saturn was on this line too.
