237. According to Cartes du Ciel we will in December 21 AD 2023 find the planet Venus in the Libra constellation and close to the right ascension line at β, the Northern Claw:

And 8 years later, in December 21 AD 2031, the view will be essentially the same, because the synodic cycle of Venus will after 8 years return. 8 * 365 = 2920 = 5 * 584.

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...
