240. Once again. The Venus Pentagram will evidently shift our attention from one side of the sky to the other in a systematic and regular manner.

The distance from one point to the next is ideally 584 days, which means a full cycle should measure 5 * 584 = 2920 days = 8 * 365. The full cycle should measure 8 years.

However, if we instead would count with 364 days in a year the result should be that the stars at the points of this pentagon will move ahead with 584 - 364 = 220 right ascension days from one point to the next:

... The author of the Book of Enoch in his treatise on astronomy and the calendar also reckoned a year to be 364 days, though he pronounced a curse on all who did not reckon a month to be 30 days long ...

... From July 8 AD 1900 (187) to February 14 (45) AD 1902 there should be around 2 * 365 + 45 - 189 = 586 right ascension nights ... From July 6 AD 1900 (*107) to February 11 (365 + 42 = 407, *327) there should be *364 + *327 - *107 = *584 right ascension nights - i.e. exactly as the synodoc cycle of Venus. *220 = *584 - *364 ...

And then, by using my assumed time frame for rongorongo and the correponding right ascension day numbers we can connect each pentagon point with a star, for instance:

09m20.29s / 1440 * 365.25 = 2.369

But instead of listing Wezen (Weight, δ Canis Majoris) I thought the proper star ought to be in the Gemini constellation:

However, as we recently concluded:

... there seems to be no good reason to expect Venus to reach exactly to Zuben Elschemali ...

and therefore the position of Venus should presumably be counted as *66.0 ("May 26) according to the Era of Bharani ('41.4):
