The Path of the Moon's Shadow during the April 8 Total Solar Eclipse


During the Great North American Total Solar Eclipse on April 8 (a Monday) 2024 the path of totality of the Moon's shadow runs northeast across the Pacific Ocean, Sinaloa, Texas, Upstate New York, Newfoundland, the Labrador Sea, and the North Atlantic Ocean. For some moment Nazas in Durango will be the darkest place on Earth. And the invisible true lunar nodes are performing their particular choreography again.

S&P 500 Index vs Lunar Year Cycle | Blood Moon Eclipse on July 27

The total phase of the "blood moon" eclipse on July 27 (Fri) will last 1 hour and 43 minutes and will be
the longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century. During the eclipse the Moon will turn into a
spectacular red whilst the red planet Mars reaches opposition to the Sun on the very same day. Mars will
appear brightest in the night sky from July 27 (Fri) to July 30 (Mon), and its closest approach to Earth
will occur on July 31 (Tue). The wobble periods of the Moon during lunar and solar eclipses usually
coincide with major highs and lows in financial markets, and the Lunar Year Cycle (354.36 Calendar Days)
projects a low in the S&P 500 to August 8 (Wed) which is also 181 Calendar Days (or 184.74 solar degrees)
away from the major low in stocks on February 8 (Thu), 2018. 
July 23-24 (Mon-Tue) Low and upturn, July 27 (Fri) High, and August 8 (Wed) Low in the S&P 500?

SPX vs True Lunar Node Speed │ August 2017

Upcoming Turn-Days: Aug 04 (Fri), Aug 12 (Sat), Aug 16 (Wed), Aug 19 (Sat), Aug 28 (Mon), Sep 02 (Sat).

Lunar Eclipses (e.g. Aug 07, 2017) occur at Full Moon and Solar Eclipses (e.g. Aug 21, 2017) at New Moon only when their alignments occur in three dimensions. Relative to Earth's orbit, the plane of lunar orbit is inclined. Mean Inclination of Lunar Orbit equals 5.1454 degrees. Eclipses only occur near the Nodes of Lunar Orbit intersection with the Solar Orbital Plane. Earth's Mean Orbital Plane is termed the Ecliptic (synonymous with eclipse). There are two nodal crossings of the ecliptic per nodal period, the ascending node and the descending node. Half the nodal period is the shortest possible interval between two eclipses. Solar and Lunar Eclipses are very distinct: The Moon's shadow during a total Solar Eclipse is only a narrow band on the earth. The Earth's conic shadow at the Moon's mean distance is over 9,000 km wide, nearly three lunar diameters. Only a small percentage of people experience each Solar Eclipse while half the world can view each Lunar Eclipse.
 

Before and after Lunar and Solar Eclipses the True Lunar Node starts wobbling (e.g. on Jul 30, 2017), quickly moving back and forth, retrograde, stationary, direct. Financial markets correlate with this 4 to 14 Day Cycle of the Retrograde-Stationary-Direct motion of the Lunar True Node. About every 86.655 days a so called Moon Wobble (lunar libration) occurs when the Sun is conjunct (e.g. on Aug 16, 2017), opposite and square (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) the Lunar Node (4 * 86.655 days = 1 Nodical Year or Eclipse Year = 346.62 days). The Node starts wobbling about two weeks before the exact event and remains unstable until about one week after. If coupled with Solar and Lunar Eclipses, the wobble-effect can be extended. And as the Sun approaches conjunction and opposition towards the Lunar Node, it's motion is almost blocked (speed at or near zero). Notably these periods go along with exuberant mood and frenzy, most of the times correlating with rallies or crashes in financial markets.

Lunar and Solar Eclipses 2017 | August 21 — The Great American Eclipse

2017 Feb 11 (Sat) = Penumbral Lunar Eclipse @ 24° LEO 59'
This eclipse may turn out to be of immediate importance
to Canada and the USA. The UK, Spain, Algeria, Morocco
and Mali are likely to be affected at a later date. With
the Sun being eclipse ruler, countries falling under the
Sun’s rulership will have to be taken into consideration.
2017 Feb 26 (Sun) = Annular Solar Eclipse @ 02° PIS 34'
This eclipse may be of immediate importance to Canada and
the USA. With Jupiter being eclipse ruler, countries falling
under Jupiter’s
rulership will have to be taken into
consideration.
2017 Aug 07 (Mon) = Partial Lunar Eclipse @ 08° AQU 04'
This eclipse may turn out to be of immediate importance to
Poland, Austria and Italy. Russia, China and India may be
affected at a later date. With Saturn being eclipse ruler,
countries falling under Saturn’s
rulership will have to
be taken into consideration.
2017 Aug 21 (Mon) = Total Solar Eclipse @ 20° LEO 21'
This is truly a great American eclipse sweeping the U.S. from
the Pacific to the Atlantic. However, this eclipse may be of
immediate importance to Russia. Canada and the USA are likely
to be affected at a later date. With the Sun being eclipse
ruler, countries falling under the Sun’s
rulership will
have to be taken into consideration.

SPX vs True Lunar Node's Speed + Longitude | March 2016

The physical wobbling and shaking of the Moon in its orbit around the Earth and the Sun is caused by
square angles and conjunctions in longitude and declination to the Sun and the Earth. Around Solar and
Lunar Eclipses the Lunar Nodes perform rapid direct (speed above zero), retrograde (below zero) and
near-standstill movements (at and very close around zero)(blue shaded time frame) while financial markets
commonly produce sentiment extremes and high volatility.

Additionally to the phenomenon of the Eclipses, in a period of +/- 2 weeks around the Equinoxes, when
the Earth crosses the Ecliptic from south to north (spring) and vice versa (fall), the geomagnetic activity
is relatively strong, though changing and most unpredictable, since in this season solar emissions are hitting
parts of both hemispheres and are unbalanced. This is when many astronomical and astrological indicators and
signals jam, invert or completely fail.
However, today is a Cosmic Cluster Day - the strongest this month - and yesterday, Mar 02 (Wed), the Sun
passed a sensitive degree on the NYSE Natal Chart at 343 degrees longitude (13° of Pisces), a position
associated with some sort of a high in the US-stock market. That said, the average annual seasonality
as well as the bias in the Decennial and Presidential Cycles are positive into the Equinox and the end
of March.

SPX vs Lunar Node's Speed

Market CITs are likely when the Lunar Node's Speed (degrees longitude/day) is at MIN/MAX and at 0.
The Eclipse Crash Window opens and closes around 21 days before and 21 days after the Solar- and Lunar Eclipses.
The table at left shows the nodal speed at MIN/MAX and at 0 during the next 30 days.
The Sun will conjunct the Lunar Node (North Node) on Sep 24 (Thu).

Blood Moon Ends Lunar Tetrad - SuperMoon Lunar Eclipse on September 28

Credits: NASA
A rare celestial event is scheduled for September 28, 2015 - a total Lunar Eclipse and the closest SuperMoon of the year. This Full Moon is also known as the Harvest Moon, and Blood Moon, because it ends the current Lunar Tetrad - series of 4 consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six month intervals.

There's much talk about the Seven Year Shemitah Cycle and related stock market crashes. However, eclipses occur near the Lunar Nodes: Solar eclipses (September 13) when the passage of the Moon through a Node coincides with the New Moon, and Lunar Eclipses (September 28) when the passage coincides with the Full Moon (HERE + HERE).

Marvels of Creation - The Sun and the Lunar Cycle

This Persian manuscript made in 1566 is a translation of the famous cosmography Marvels of Creation, originally written in Arabic by the thirteenth-century Persian lawyer, physician, astronomer and geographer Zakariya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini (1203-1283). The miniatures illustrate the lunar cycle and the path of the Sun’s rays interrupted by the globe of the Earth at the time of a lunar eclipse. Born in the Persian town of Qazwin, Zakariya served as legal expert and judge in several localities in Persia, traveled in Mesopotamia and Syria, and finally entered the circle patronized by the governor of Baghdad. He also wrote a futuristic proto-science fiction tale entitled “Awaj bin Anfaq” about a man who traveled to Earth from a distant planet.

The Sun spews forth an endless stream of charged particles in all directions. This solar wind blows far out into the solar system and beyond. The Earth's magnetic field shields from direct contact with the solar wind's charged particles. The Earth's magnetic field is rounded towards the Sun, and stretches out in a long tail away from the Sun. The solar wind rushes around and past the Earth and on out into space while the Moon passes through the different sections of the Earths magnetic sphere in its monthly orbit. At New Moon it is always in the upstream portion of the magnetosphere, facing the Sun and downstream in the Earth's tail at Full Moon. At First Quarter, the Moon is to the dusk side of Earth and at Fourth Quarter, the Moon is in the dawn side of the magnetosphere. The 10th and 25th days of the lunar cycle are significant periods because these points are more or less in line with the 45 degrees vector along which solar corpuscular radiation reaches the Earth. At a phase angle of some 315 degrees the Moon effectively blocks and cuts off most of solar radiation during its cycle, while at the opposite point around 135 degrees, the Moon reaches a point of least blockage. When the Moon is less than 3.5 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic, geomagnetic activity reaches a minimum during the Second Quarter and a maximum during Third Quarter.

SPX vs the Rhythm of the Node

Financial markets correlate with the 4-14 day cycle of the retrograde-stationary-direct motion of the Lunar True Node (North Node). This cycle can be depicted by charting the geocentric longitude and speed of the Node against e.g. the S&P 500 (speed in this context is geocentric motion of degrees longitude per day). About every 86.5 days a so called Moon Wobble occurs when the Sun is conjunct, opposite and square (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) the Lunar Node. The Node starts wobbling about two weeks before the exact event and remains instable until about one week after. If coupled with solar and lunar eclipses, the wobble-effect can be extended. And as the Sun approaches conjunction and opposition towards the lunar node, it's motion is almost blocked (bluish shaded areas). This is a potential crash period in financial markets.

The blue dotted diagonal is the longitude of Lunar Mean Node.
The blueish verticals indicate the changes in the motion of the Lunar True Node.
The plane in which the Moon orbits the Earth is inclined at 5°09’ to the plane of the ecliptic and this plane rotates slowly over a period of
18.61 years. Over this 18.61-year nodal period the amplitude of the lunar declination increases slowly. The maximum lunar monthly declination
north and south of the equator varies between 18°18’ and 28°36’. There are maximum values of the lunar declination in 1969, 1987, 2006, 2025
and 2043, and minimum values in 1978, 1997, (September) 2015, 2034 and 2053.

The plane of the lunar orbit precesses in space completing a revolution in 6798.3835 days or 18.612958 years. The Lunar Node
enters a new sign of the zodiac (30°) every 1.551 years or every 18.613 months = 1.55 years = 80.9 weeks = 566.53 CD / 8 =
10.12 week cycle = 55 Trading Days
