As we can see in the reproduction below of the marvellous Dendera ceiling the was staff representing power (Gardiner's S40) is held in the left hand of Osiris (Orion), painted purple and intact (not broken). And the pair of Pisces are joined by a pair of staffs, not by bands:

We should remember:

1) Wasat (λ Gemini, *109) → Middle, and

2) the suffix -(a)t probably indicates Female → below the midline (waist) → south of the equator.

The purple Osiris (Orion) is below the 12 red and well known figures of our own zodiac.

GEMMA (α Cor. Bor.)
APRIL 20 21 22 23 24 25 (115)

In Manuscript E, we can assume, the dates were given according to the Sun calendar, and therefore we should be able to associate APRIL 25 with not only the culmination (at 21h) of Gemma in Corona Borealis but also with the day when the Explorers sailed away from their old homeland in search for the promised new land.

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

... On the twenty-fifth day of the first month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and Makoi set sail; on the first day of June ('Maro'), the bow of Ira's canoe appeared on the distant horizon, came closer and closer on its course, and sailed along, and finally (one) could see the (new home) land ... [E:17]

In the G text, we will remember, there was a tagata toki at heliacal Canopus, where the Full Moon was at Christmas Eve in June 24 (175. *95) = St John's Day.

175 (June 24) - 64 (precessional depth down to the Golden Age) = 111 (APRIL 21).

In December 23 (357 = 175 + 182) the Full Moon (Hotu) ought (ideally) to be here.

... Another year passed, and a man by the name of Ure Honu went to work in his banana plantation. He went and came to the last part, to the 'head' (i.e., the upper part of the banana plantation), to the end of the banana plantation. The sun was standing just right for Ure Honu to clean out the weeds from the banana plantation. On the first day he hoed the weeds. That went on all day, and then evening came. Suddenly a rat came from the middle of the banana plantation. Ure Honu saw it and ran after it. But it disappeared and he could not catch it. On the second day of hoeing, the same thing happened with the rat. It ran away, and he could not catch it. On the third day, he reached the 'head' of the bananas and finished the work in the plantation. Again the rat ran away, and Ure Honu followed it. It ran and slipped into the hole of a stone. He poked after it, lifted up the stone, and saw that the skull was (in the hole) of the stone. (The rat was) a spirit of the skull (he kuhane o te puoko). Ure Honu was amazed and said, 'How beautiful you are! In the head of the new bananas is a skull, painted with yellow root and with a strip of barkcloth around it.' Ure Honu stayed for a while, (then) he went away and covered the roof of his house in Vai Matā. It was a new house. He took the very large skull, which he had found at the head of the banana plantation, and hung it up in the new house. He tied it up in the framework of the roof (hahanga) and left it hanging there ...

In the E text there was a toki 5 days earlier:
