Octans encompasses the south celestial pole, as shown in the Uranographia of Johann Bode where it was called Octans Nautica. The octant was the forerunner of the modern sextant. The octant measured the relationship between the Sun or other fixed star and the horizon in order to plot the course of the ship.
In music, the octave is one full cycle through the musical notes of the scale returning one to the beginning, but on a higher arc. Yet an octant is one- eighth of a circle. Two lovers have eight limbs with this Atu involving the connecting link at the chakra connected to the palms of their hands. The shape of the letter shows the palm as something that holds
something else in this case, energy and the completion of an electric circuit that starts at the genitals but is initiated by the third eye and the pituitary gland. This coupling is as a marriage ceremony unto itself the couple being psycho-physically enjoined into one more complex organism. It would at first seem obvious that the couple should have been presented from the other side in order to more accurately resemble the letter. But in facing the letter, it is as two poles
one in contrast with the other, as positive to negative.
