Early in the faint morning light of dawn I could see Venus above the
horizon in the east - as if by coincidence the whole sky was
very clear - and I was in the Scorpion:
November carries 30 days and from November 18 to December 21
(solstice) there will be 30 + 3 = 33 days. This is equally true
nowadays as it had been on Hawaii when visited by Captain Cook
(Lono):

... 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 ... |

Now, when I am writing this half a day later in the evening of
November 18 AD 2023 the night sky is clear and in sight and
Venus is still shining brightly above. How can that be? She
could hardly be both Morning Star and Evening Star in the same
day?
Below is the view of today according to Cartes du Ciel. At 8 p.m.
Venus should be observed close to Porrima (*191) in Virgo.
Porrima is located
just below declination line for 0°.
Remarkably - as if by chance - we can count *191 (Porrima) + *365 - *242 (November
18) = *314 → π.
