The end of the winter season in the sky could have been announced by the appearance of the nose of the Lion (Al Minhar al Asad). Ukdah can then be the knot which ties up the end of the winter (cfr at Alphard):
And the absence of a lunar station in the 7th hour could maybe indicate how winter solstice has eliminated the old year:
There seems to be 2 months from winter solstice to the beginning of summer in the sky. And before a new great season emerges (like the first half of the year or like summer in the sky) the 'land' is lying 'fallow' - there is no lunar station. Sometimes it seems to be expressed by moe:
