Immediately to the right of these two central months we find a month which Posnansky tells us is August. As 'proof' of this he points to the two birds on top which are flying towards the left. Although the images of the five months to the right is identical (except by being mirrored so that left becomes right and the reverse) these two birds are exceptional in not being mirrored. I.e. they are flying towards the left also in the month which Posnansky means is October, the month immediately to the left of the central ones. I am not quite convinced that this means the sun is moving towards left. Fishes can swim upwards and downwards, why not then birds move in different ways? Neither the fishes nor the birds are real birds, they are symbols.

But certainly he is right about the middle two months. Though it feels strange to have September as the largest 'sun'. The brightest sun is located in December at summer solstice. In the Sun Door the solstices are equally large and placed at the extreme left and extreme right. Why then should we care whether August is the month immediately to the right or immediately to the left of September/March? Because Posnansky believed that the Sun Door was a sort of observatory. If he is right (about August) then this implies that we should look at the Sun Door standing in front of us in the west, i.e. we should observe the sun in the evening. If he is wrong, then we should look at the sun in the morning. Which I feel is more reasonable.

The sun is gradually over the year changing its places of rising and declining. From spring equinox both these locations on the horizon will move south, then after summer solstice they will move back again, arriving at autumn equinox at the same spots as at spring equnox, then gliding towards north and winter solstice and then back again like a serpentine undulation in time.
