The Saros cycle
Notes
Eclipse
The astronomical is political
The eclipse cycle, commonly known as the Saros cycle, consists of a series of 84 eclipses over 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours or 223 synodic months, then Earth & Moon return to similar positions in their orbits, starting a new series of eclipses.
This millenary cycle has been studied and used by many cultures on Earth. The reason is not only due to the immense impact generated by the light effect during the alignment of the Sun & Moon in the sky, but because it is also a perfect parameter for planning long political cycles, thanks to its public nature as an astronomical phenomenon.
To link the astronomical plane to the political is a necessary practice; firstly, to have a natural objective parameter independent of the social designs of the ruling class of the day, and second, to maintain the social agenda in harmony with the different energy phases that we perceive from the Cosmos.
Urges setting back an astronomical frame of reference to have a broader temporal vision and cultivate a cosmological awareness.
Setting back an astronomical frame of reference in our political agendas is part of the needed institutional recognition of the energies that create the living conditions on the planet.
It is fundamental to consider these energies in our organization and social planning, especially facing a climate crisis that urges us to have a broader temporal vision and cultivate a cosmological awareness.
