The seven constellations below match their Indus Valley glyphs in black. The 8Th constellation of the Sanskrit Saptarshi cycle is Pushya. The constellation to the left, with it's Indus Valley glyph that exactly match's it visually. This was an easy constellation or glyph to find because, Pusya-dilta Canceri is (area of M44 Beehive cluster) these visual two strokes are used today to represent this constellation. The method I used was to first locate the glyphs in the stars and then work out the Indic our Sanskrit name based upon it's location. This glyph of the constellation Cancer shows up as a Sumerian glyph (Sumerian 4 link to the lower right).
