123 → 413 - 290. Once again. There were 7 Chinese lunar stations in the Scorpion:

When the Full Moon was in the Scorpion, then it was known that the Sun must be in the Bull.

The Chinese list of 28 ecliptic stations is beginning with Spica (1) and higher up and a week later was κ Virginis (2). A line of sight seems to have connected this pair of stars.

From the 1st ecliptic station Spica (*202.7) to the 7nd station Nash (*273.7) there were *71.0 right ascension days. There were 71 days from the Horn (→ Crocodile person) to the Winnowing Basket (→ Leopard person).

The orientation of such a person depended on the season. If he showed the back of his head it meant he was leaving:

The shadows into which the White Rabbit was moving seems to hide a 'skeleton tree':

... And then she looked in her hand, she inspected it right away, but the bone's saliva wasn't in her hand. It is just a sign I have given you, my saliva, my spittle. This, my head, has nothing on it - just bone, nothing of meat. It's just the same with the head of a great lord: it's just the flesh that makes his face look good. And when he dies, people get frightened by his bones. After that, his son is like his saliva, his spittle, in his being, whether it be the son of a lord or the son of a craftsman, an orator. The father does not disappear, but goes on being fulfilled. Neither dimmed nor destroyed is the face of a lord, a warrior, craftsman, an orator. Rather, he will leave his daughters and sons. So it is that I have done likewise through you. Now go up there on the face of the earth; you will not die. Keep the word. So be it, said the head of One and Seven Hunaphu - they were of one mind when they did it ...

But when the back of the head was visible it also meant his face would no longer be seen. When the Forehead of the Scorpion was ideally visible close to the Full Moon at 16h it was known that the Sun must be 12h away at 4h, according to the nakshatra system.

In the middle beetween 4h and 16h were 10h and 22h, with Regulus (the Little King) respectively Sadalmelik (the Lucky King):

At the beginning of Chapter I the orientation of the White Rabbit person was sideways, which meant he was on the point of turning around → daybreak / nightfall, spring equinox / autumn equinox:

When Alice followed him down this lead her into Weeping.

... Just at this moment her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little garden key and hurried off to the garden door,

Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye, but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and began to cry again. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself,' said Alice, 'a great girl like you', (she might well say this), 'to go one crying in this way! Stop this moment, I tell you!' But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool around her, about four inches deep, and reaching half down the hall ...

But here the order of time seems to have been reversed because when in February 18 (414 → Bharani) the Sun was due to be at the station of the Rootop, then Alice (9 feet tall) was at the star of Weeping which was 3 days in the past. The White Rabbit may indeed have been late.

We should remember a similar situation:

... When the first faint light appeared at the far end of the house, Maui could see the legs of all the other people sleeping, and his mother was sleeping too. Then the sun came up, and Taranga stirred, and partly woke. 'What kind of night is this,' she wondered, 'that lasts so long?' But because it was dark in the house she dozed off again. At last she woke up properly, and knew that something was wrong. She threw off the cloak that covered her and jumped up, with nothing on, and went round looking for her skirt and belt. Little Maui pretended to be fast asleep. Taranga rushed to the door, and the window beside it, and pulled out all the things that Maui had used to stop them up. When she saw that the sun was already in the sky she muttered some angry things and hurried out, holding in front of her a piece of old flax cloak that Maui had used to stop up the door. Away she ran, crying and whimpering in being so badly treated by her children. No sooner was she out of the house than little Maui was on his knees behind the sliding door, which she had closed behind her as she left. He was watching to see which way she went. Not far away he saw her stop and pull up a clump of rushes. There was a hole under it, which she dropped into. She pulled the rushes into place behind her, and was gone. Maui slipped out and ran as fast as he was able to the clump of rushes. He pulled it and it came away, and he felt a wind against his face as he looked through the hole. Looking down, he saw another world, with trees and the ocean, and fires burning, and men and women walking about...

The idea of being late seems to have centered on the time for the arrival of Raven:

... the bird, being sent with a cup for water, loitered at a fig-tree till the fruit became ripe, and then returned to the god with a water-snake in his claws and a lie in his mouth, alleging the snake to have been the cause of the delay. In punishment he was forever fixed in the sky with the Cup and the Snake; and, we may infer, doomed to everlasting thirst by the guardianship of the Hydra over the Cup and its contents. From all this came other poetical names for our Corvus - Avis Ficarius, the Fig Bird; and Emansor, one who stays beyond his time; and a belief, in early folk-lore, that this alone among birds did not carry water to its young ...
