stations with a conjunction between a pair of ruling stars

... Like the names of most other Greek letters, the name of beta
was adopted from the acrophonic name of the corresponding letter
in Phoenician, which was the common Semitic word *bayt
('house'). In the system of Greek numerals beta had a
value of 2.
... The traditions show that the residences
of the king were fairly flexible. The building of new houses was
obviously the result of (male) births in the royal family. In
each case, the house that was built last is left to the newborn
son and his mother, together with a specific servant, while the
king has a new and separate residence constructed for himself

The Corner of the House of Virgo
(Zaniah,
η)
was
in the day before the
Creation of Our Present World -
which evidently could have been recreated
in "August 13 (225), i.e. in the
year 70 * 41 - 1842 AD = 1028 BC.
... Balancing the
notion of tapu, though not in
perfect dichotomy, is
the notion
of noa. This pertains to
mundane, ordinary objects and
functions - household and serving
utensils, the acts of preparing and
eating food, the many small and
common interactions of everyday
life. Noa is safe - without
preternatural sanction or restricted
association, it is demonstrated by
the lifting of the condition of
tapu from a particular
environment or object. A newly built
house, ornamented and fresh, would
be considered tapu - unsafe,
prohibited, raw with spirit and
inaccessible to the common touch of
people. Making the place noa
- 'blessing' it in current terms -
would involve ritual, and the
crossing of the threshold, usually
by a high-born woman. Her special
form of tapu would counter
the energies within the house, and
thus render it noa, and safe
for general entry. Such ritual
continues to be observed today; even
in the context of an ethnological or
fine arts exhibition, these
procedures are followed, to appease
the ancestral forces who may
generate tapu, which imbues
the objects with dread or beauty ...
And this would then have been 23 * 70 =
1610 (→
JUNE 10) years after the preceding
and similar such recreation in the Golden Age of
the Bull.

The manik, with
the tzab, or
serpent's rattles as
prefix, runs across
Madrid tz. 22 , the
figures in the pictures
all holding the rattle;
it runs across the
hunting scenes of Madrid
tz. 61, 62, and finally
appears in all four
clauses of tz. 175, the
so-called 'baptism'
tzolkin. It seems
impossible, with all
this, to avoid assigning
the value of grasping or
receiving. But in the
final confirmation, we
have the direct evidence
of the signs for East
and West. For the East
we have the glyph
Ahau-Kin, the Lord
Sun, the Lord of Day;
for the West we have
Manik-Kin, exactly
corresponding to the
term Chikin, the
biting or eating of the
Sun, seizing it in the
mouth.
The
pictures (from Gates)
show east, north, west,
and south; respectively
(the lower two glyphs)
'Lord' (Ahau) and
'grasp' (Manik).
Manik was the 7th

Ahau the last ... |
Comparing with other text we can
find te ao used also at
Cb1-10,
where Metoro had been unusually
eloquent, mentioning that the
sky was moving (rutua te
maeva).
... Probably
Metoro's words are here
describing the whole package of
glyphs instead of commenting on
them each separately. He is
beginning by stating that drums
(te pahu) are sounding (rutua)
as a means of welcoming (te
maeva) and this is
meaningful if the beginning of
the text on side b is related to
the onset of a new year
...
