7. June 21 is at midsummer solstice north of the equator. During a week from tagata toki in Ga2-1 there is no harmony between my colours for glyphs and dates. From July 1 harmony returns.

Sirius returns each year nearly at the same date - it is one of the stars with a proper motion which is resisting the precession, and only after ca 180 years (instead of 72) will Sirius have moved 1 day further ahead in the year (cfr Camp 9). According to Cartes du Ciel the right ascension of Sirius was 6h 39m (= 399m) in the year 1870.
