231 → 33 weeks → Mira → ... 201 (July 20, Naos) - 168 (June 17, Betelgeuze) = 33 days, which 'happened to be' equal in length to the circuit of Lono on Hawaii ...

The first point in our Venus pentagram had moved ('Ollin');

from the date of July 8 (AD 1900) to the date of July 6 (AD 1900 + 8).

I.e., in 8 years' time (the synodic cycle of Venus) it appeared as if the whole of her pentagram had 'preceded' 2 days:

However, in 8 years there should be 2 leap days.

Let's recall the points. In July 8 AD 1900 the planet could be observed in the constellation of Gemini and close to the right ascension line for *107 (→ *80 + *27):

584 days later, in February 14 AD 1902, the place for Venus had moved to the constellation of the Capricorn and close to the right ascension line for *327 (→ *300 + *27 = *107 + *220):

Then the 3rd pentagram point was qualitatively different, because instead of the number for the synodic cycle of Venus (584 days) the date September 17 AD 1903 was only 580 days later than February 14 AD 1902.

... During a given 584-day period the 20 day names repeat 29 times, giving 580 days with a remainder of 4; this means that a Venus cycle will always begin 4 days later in the sequence of 20 day names than the previous cycle ...

... The ancient Chinese said: One generates Two, Two generates Three, and Three generates Everything ...

Here Venus had moved to the constellation of the Scorpion, and Significantly to the exact position of the right ascension line for Antares:

... The key for the special case Antares is to count *547 - *183 = *364 ...

The next point would then be 584 days later than September 17 AD 1903, viz. at April 27 (107 → 80 + 3 * 9) AD 1905.

... As has already been mentioned, the Delphians worshipped Dionysus once a year as the new-born child, Liknites, 'the Child in the Harvest Basket', which was a shovel-shaped basket of rush and osier used as a harvest basket, a cradle, a manger, and a winnowing-fan for tossing the grain up into the air against the wind, to separate it from the chaff. The worship of the Divine Child was established in Minoan Crete, its most famous early home in Europe. In 1903, on the site of the temple of Dictaean Zeues - the Zeus who was yearly born in Rhea's cave at Dicte near Cnossos, where Pythagoras spent 'thrice nine hallowed days' of his initiation - was found a Greek hymn which seems to preserve the original Minoan formula in which the gypsum-powdered, sword-dancing Curetes, or tutors, saluted the Child at his birthday feast. In it he is hailed as 'the Cronian one' who comes yearly to Dicte mounted on a sow and escorted by a spirit-throng, and begged for peace and plenty as a reward for their joyful leaps ...

Here Venus was in the constellation of Taurus (i.e. the constellation at the opposite side of the sky compared to that of the Scorpion).

Then, finally, at the 5th and last point of the pentagram, at November 30 AD 1906, the planet Venus was once again in the constellation of the Scorpion:

... However, there is no suitable star close by in the Scorpion and in order to calibrate a comparison with the G text we should rather use the star Yed Prior (Hand in Front) in the Serpent Carrier:

We can recognize the idea of Manasseh here. His system of belief was polytheistic, he did not keep to the strict rules of his forefathers. Therefore, instead of a star close to the Sun in the Scorpion the leading star should be chosen from one of the stars close to the Full Moon in the constellation of Ophiuchus, Significantly in the left hand of the Serpent Carrier, in the shadows of darkness:

... 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 ...

... The correspondence between the winter solstice and the kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28 November), the Lono effigy sets off on its circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus bringing the god back for the climactic battle with the king on 21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved, since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ...
