5. Mars seems to be
navigating towards Gemini.
... Ancient people were fascinated with
the periodic backward
loops turned by Mars every two years ...
Maybe Mars received his great powers from the Pleiades, making
him speed up again in the right direction towards April.
... Skanda
(literally 'the jumping one' or 'the hopping one') is the planet
Mars, also called Kartikeya, inasmuch as he was borne by
the Krittika, the Pleiades.
Mbh. 9.44-46 (Roy trans. vol. 7, pp. 130-43). It should be
emphasized, aloud and strongly, that in Babylonian astronomy
Mars is the only
planetary representative of the Pleiades.
See P. F. Gössmann. Planetarium Babylonicum
(1950), p. 279: 'In der Planetenvertretung kommt für die
Plejaden nur Mars in Frage.'
... The star cluster
Krittika ...
sometimes known as
Kārtikā, corresponds to
the open star cluster
Pleiades in Indian
astronomy and
Jyotisa (Hindu
astrology). The name
literally translates to
'the cutters' ...
In
Hindu mythology, the god
Murugan (Skanda / Subrahmanya / Kartikeya)
was raised by the six
sisters known as the
Krttikā and thus
came to be known as
Kārtikeya (literally
'Him of the Krttikā').
According to the
Mahābhārata, Murugan
was born to Agni
and
Svāhā, after the
latter impersonated six
of the seven wives of
the Saptarsi and
made love to him. The
Saptarshi, hearing
of this incident and
doubting their wives'
chastity, divorced them.
These wives then became
the Krttikā ...
If you are running quickly ahead you
surely will have your face oriented in the forward direction. Presumably the many faces of Murugan (alias the planet Mars)
were visualizing
how his direction ahead was turning around.
We ought to investigate how
- according to Cartes du Ciel - the oribit
of Mars close to the Pleiades currently is being developed. Is the current view similar
to that in the diagram above? It covers the nights from August 23
(235) up to and including April 19 (109), i.e. 240 days:

Maybe in April 19 of this year the planet Mars will be at the star
Mekbuda (Contracted),
given that he will be at Mebsuta (Outstretched) 5 days
earlier as has been projected:

I checked this idea with Cartes du Ciel. However Mars will not have arrived so far:
Trying with April 4 (10 days before 4-14 and 15 days before
April 19) I could not find any star
close to Mars there either.
Instead Mars should be looked for around halfway on his way from M35
to Mebsuta. But
20 days before Mebsuta the planet Mars
would significantly be at March
25 (3-25, 84 = the Julian equinox), i.e. at M35, - and interestingly the star 136 Tauri close by
suggests day 136 (May 16) when the Sun later would rise with Alcyone in
the Pleiades.
... When the Pope Gregory XIII updated
the Julian calendar he did not revise what had gone wrong
before 325 AD (when the
Council of Nicaea was held). Thus the stars were still
3-4 days 'out of tune' compared to the calendar ... the
Gregorian 'canoe' was 'crooked'. His calendar was not in
perfect alignment with the ancient star structure. Because
he had avoided to adjust with the effects of the precession
between the creation of the Julian calendar and the Council
of Nicaea in 325 A.D. [The Julian equinox was in the 3rd
month of the year and in its 25th day; 3-25.]
...
M45, the
Pleiades group, would rise and go down earlier:
When was Mars at or close to M45? After repeated trials I think
we can fairly say that his closest approach was in the nights
around January 20. It looks as if Mars in this day was at the
right angle (90º) formed between
the directions to M45 and Hyadum I:

We have now verified that Mars also in AD 2023 would
have been close to the Pleiades in the period from about January 5
(370) to February 4 (35, 400), where he had completed
his retrograde circuit beginning in November 6 (310):
... The Sacred Book of the ancient Maya
Quiche, the famous Popol Vuh (the Book of Counsel)
tells of Zipacna, son of Vucub-Caquix (= Seven Arata). He
sees 400 youths dragging a huge log that they want as a
ridgepole for their house. Zipacna alone carries the tree
without effort to the spot where a hole has been dug for the
post to support the ridgepole. The youths, jealous and
afraid, try to kill Zipacna by crushing him in the hole, but
he escapes and brings down the house on their heads. They
are removed to the sky, in a 'group', and the Pleiades are
called after them ...
This was the place where in the Golden Age of the Bull the
Sun would have risen together with Hyadum I:

of a toki. Fraser. Axe, stone hatchet,

Anciently numbers were never chosen haphazardly, it was
a serious business, and close to Mars
in the night of November 6 AD 2022 we can find 121
Tauri (→ Beltaine):
However, for modern scientific minds numbers should have
no character at all, they must be
arbitrary in order to avoid preconceptions. Therefore, it
would seem, Cartes du Ciel has
omitted to visualize the place of the
Crab Nebula (M 1):
