You are forgetting the Death of Tammuz during the Summer Solstice (June 21st) which became Noosardel and associated not with the baptism of Tammuz but with the baptism of Jesus's disciples. With this final holiday the story of the seasons is complete. The resurrection, death, marriage (later changed to march 21) and birth of Ishtar and Tammuz are symbolised by the Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice respectively.

And just as the story of Ishtar and Tammuz is written in the seasons so too is the Epic of Gilgamesh written in the constellations through the signs of the Zodiac.
