212. The synodic speeds of Venus
ought to be possible to measure from her pentagram:
For instance, from her star point at AD 1900-07-08 (189) to her
next point at AD 1902-02-14 (45) it could be expected to be
around 2 * 365 + 45 - 189 =
586 right ascension nights.
At AD 1900 the beginning of the pentagram was drawn to
indicate the center of Cancer.
Possibly this was intended to allude to

that this strange title came from the fact that
the two outside stars were more open than
α and β
of Capricorn, so that they seemed to swallow, or
absorb, the light of the other! ...

... And then the bone spoke;
it was there in the fork of the tree: Why do you
want a mere bone, a round thing in the branches
of a tree? said the head of One Hunaphu when it
spoke to the maiden. You don't want it, she was
told. I do want it, said the maiden. Very well.
Stretch out your right hand here, so I can see
it, said the bone. Yes, said the maiden. She
stretched out her right hand, up there in front
of the bone. And then the bone spit out its
saliva, which landed squarely in the hand of the
maiden. 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 ...

This date (July 8 AD 1900) agrees quite well with when
according to the G text the Sun should rise together with the
star named Middle (Wasat).
The precessional distance from the middle of Cancer to the
middle of Gemini should be around 1 / 12 * 26000 = 2167 years.
... Men's spirits were thought to dwell
in the Milky Way between incarnations. This conception has
been handed down as an Orphic and Pythagorean tradition
fitting into the frame of the migration of the soul.
Macrobius, who has provided the broadest report on the
matter, has it that souls ascend by way of Capricorn, and
then, in order to be reborn, descend again through the 'Gate
of Cancer'. Macrobius talks of signs; the
constellations rising at the solstices in his time (and
still in ours) were Gemini and Sagittarius: the 'Gate of
Cancer' means Gemini ...
