In the C text, and according to my assumed time-frame for rongorongo, the Sun was
should have been at the line for right ascension
day *229 (= 365 - 136) in November 5, with the Full Moon having risen at the star Bharani 5
days earlier,
in October 31:

... 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 ... |

However, it is possible that the date "November 5 - when Pure O left with his canoe - was meant to refer to the date in a leap-year, in which case the day number would not be 309 but 310. If so, it means we ought to adjust the correlations between the stars and the dates:

...
Perseus lies next to his beloved Andromeda.
Nearby are her parents Cepheus and
Cassiopeia, as well as the monster, Cetus,
to which she was sacrificed. Pegasus the
winged horse completes the tableau. Perseus
himself is shown holding the Gorgon’s head.
The star that Ptolemy called ‘the bright one
in the Gorgon head’ is Beta Persei, named
Algol from the Arabic
ra’s al-ghul
meaning ‘the demon’s head’. (As an aside,
al-ghul is
also the origin of our word alcohol - quite
literally ‘the demon drink’.) Algol is the
type of star known as an eclipsing binary,
consisting of two close stars that orbit
each other, in this case every 2.9 days ... |
