Humayun,

at risk of sounding thick - I still don't get the subaru = pleiades connection. Is it 'sole sacerdotibus' (lat: only for the initiated) or what ?

Please explain

Oh, wow, I didn't realise people didn't know.

Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades. Have a look at the Subaru symbol.
