7. For ordinary people the day is beginning with dawn, when Sun is breaking the Cloth of Night. For calendar makers (time keepers) the culmination of significant stars at midnight determines when a new day arrives. It is therefore an open question whether for instance Christmas Eve really is meant to be at Ga8-10, because we have reached this conclusion by measuring the distance from an assumed heliacal rising of Antares at Ga7-16. But maybe Ga7-16 is where Antares is crossing the meridian at midnight. Let us try to determine if it could be true.
186 + 214 = 400 could be a Sign that Ga7-16 and Ga8-10 are to be considered together. By the way, 71 * 6 = 426 is the glyph where I have placed the heliacal rising of Anunitum (τ Piscium ):
And there is a pair of mago glyphs surrounding, one of them at 7-16. ... Though Andromeda has its roots most firmly in the Greek tradition, a female figure in Andromeda's place appeared in Babylonian astronomy. The stars that make up Pisces and the middle portion of modern Andromeda formed a constellation representing a fertility goddess, sometimes named as Anunitum or the Lady of the Heavens ... Maybe mago in Ga7-16 represents the midnight culmination of Antares. Then Ga8-10 could still be Christmas Eve, but not as a consequence of mago in Ga7-16. Let's find out what the date would be at Ga7-16 if it was determined by the midnight culmination of Antares. From the date of the heliacal rising of a star we must move backwards 229 days to find the date of its midnight culmination. Given a midnight culmination at Ga7-16 the heliacal rising should be 229 days ahead. Day 330 + 229 - 365 = day 194 = July 13 = 7 days beyond 7h:
Day 194 (July 13) - 144 = glyph 50 (Ga2-19) corresponds to the heliacal rising of Castor (the twin who died):
