•Lunar Eclipse: Full Moon with Dragon Hand
aligned
•Solar Eclipse: New Moon with Dragon Hand
aligned
If the Dragon
Hand is aligned with Sun and Moon Hands during a New Moon, a Solar
Eclipse will occur. However, as seen on the graph, the shadow of the Moon
on the Earth’s surface is much smaller than the shadow of the Erath on the
Moon surface. Therefore a Solar Eclipse can only be seen from certain
locations on the earth. If the Astrolabium indicates a Solar Eclipse, it
therefore means, that the eclipse occurs somewhere on the world and not
necessarily at your current location.
It doesn’t
matter whether the head or tail of the Dragon Hand is in coverage with the
other two hands!
