The recent debates about the solar illumination on the northwest side of the staircase of the Castillo, has shown us new perspectives to considerate about what we know of the astronomical event. The hierophany as equinox event has been questioned and discarded on one side of the discussion, and the other are trying to validate the equinox as the main event on the cited structure. However, the main objective is to explain the entire illumination as a complex model of mesure time. Methodologically, previous research was reviewed as well as the event was recorded during the years 2014 to 2018 and the results obtained were compared with other investigations related to the calendar, astronomy and the Venus cult, to explain the relationship of the solar formation event of triangles of light as an instrument to relate these subjects. Comparative data are also contemplated with other sites and ethnographic information from the same region
