The monthly ratio between the heights of spring and neap tides is 8:3.
[three ;-)]
Each month the Moon more or less copies the entire annual ranges of rises and falls undertaken by the Sun in a year.
[just another example of the connectivity of all myriad things as conveyed in the ken-po goku-i, the I Ching and Mysteries. Lets not forget that the Moon is visible at night only because of its reflection of the suns light from the other or opposite side in relation to the Earth.]
The full moon is brightest and highest at midwinter, copying the motion of the midsummer Sun. Thus the full moon mirrors the Sun at the opposite point in the calendar, and like a true mirror it fully reflects the Sun's light.
[how many references do we hear of when studying the way that relate a mind set that is as a mirror reflects only what it is shown and a mind of no mind … ]
This reciprocation mysteriously extends into the numbers, for 1 divided by Sun = Moon, and 1 divided by Moon = Sun! 1 divided by 365.242 = 0.0027379, which in days is "3" minutes and 56 seconds.
The orbit of the Moon is tilted with respect to that of the Earth by an angle of 5.14 degrees.
To the ancients the nodes were thought of as the head and tail of a huge celestial dragon that swallowed the Moon or Sun during an eclipse. The nodal period is still known as the Draconic year.
346.62 = 18.618 x 18.618? When the eclipse year of 346.62 days is defined and completed by the Sun's meeting the node every 173.3 days ( an eclipse season) we get this formula which opens more questions as to the connectivity of the Sun, Moon, and Earth.
