Kiya Nicoll, author of The Traveller’s Guide to the Duat: Amenti on Two Deben a Week
wrote a blog post about the calculation of calendars and the position of Sopdet.
The post is here: I Love it when a plan comes together
What she found out was that the date where the sun and Sopdet are closest? Aset Luminous.
If anyone is interested, here are links to Kiya’s book:

Aset Luminous (Aset the Bright One, Mother of God) is on June 30th this year in the Kemetic Orthodox calendar. Here is a link on how to make the boats: Origami Boats. So here is an Oracle I wrote for this festival last year. Enjoy.
Dua Aset, the Fiercely Bright One!
Aset Luminous (Aset, the Fiercely Bright One)
by JewelofAset
What are you doing for Her festival?
What will you do today for the Fiercely Bright One?
Light candles or lamps? Sing a hymn? Perform ritual before Her shrine? What will you offer to the Lady?
What will you do today for the Mother of God? The one who gave birth to Heru in the Marshes? The sole Mother who took care of Her son?
What will you do for Aset, the Fiercely Bright One? The One who leads the way in the darkness, dispelling shadows with Her light? The stellar and solar goddess of the dawn.
What will you do today? What will you accomplish? What will you profess?
What will you ask Me in your letter? What prayers and hopes will the boats carry on the water, with My light guiding the way?
What will you ask Me to dispel in your lives? What will you ask Me to cultivate?
What will you do for the Fiercely Bright One? What will you ask of the Brightest of Stars? What will you ask of the Solar Goddess?
I am the Mistress of Magic. I am the Goddess Who Knows Her Spells. What I speak comes to pass.
Do not worry, child. I will take care of you.
Who am I? Am I not the Goddess who knows Ra’s Name? Am I not the wisest and cleverest of Gods? Am I not the Goddess of all magic, all heka, all life-power, all kau?
So what will you ask Me on My festival day?
The words you speak and write have power. What I speak comes to pass. What you write is your heart’s desire.
For what you do, what you say and what you write will become.
Fiercely Bright One
