The Pleiades stand for the zo- diacal sign Taurus in which they are located. Below them is a peculiar figure named in Quichua « Mother Ocean ». It is c...onnected by a line with a small circular object named in the same tongue Spring (of water) and Umbilicus. The sym- bolism is curious. It represents the spring mysteriously nursed from the lakes and seas as the child is nursed from the placenta. We have no positive testimony as to the aste- rism suggested here, but the water or the Lake is the name of Aquarius amongst the Euphratean peoples, the Sias and Nahuatls of Mexico and in Greece, China and elsewhere *. The sun is in this sign in February when the power of the « Mother of Waters » is at its height in Peru and at this time takes place the curious ritual oft'ering to her known as the water sacrifice.
