[Hermes777]

Today there was a solar eclipse that could be seen in various parts of the world. It would be strange if there were not in the VM, with so many astronomical diagrams, the representation of an eclipse. Some illustrations suggest eclipses. At least one is clear, although with a very childish drawing.This is this illustration from f67:

Astrological aspects, angular relationships of the Sun and Moon are represented in the corners of this page. In the drawing that I have shown, the opposition between the Sun and the Moon is represented. In the middle we see the Earth with that nice cone that represents the shadow that the Sun projects on the Moon in an eclipse.

In the script I believe that the solar eclipse is represented by the benched gallows. The benches are phases of the moon [c] and the one-legged gallows are, as I said before, the position of the sun at the lunar node, which is where eclipses are represented.

I largely agree with this Antonio. I would add that in the year the benched gallows mark the midpoints of the kerubic signs, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio - the mid-quarter days - and this marks the Dragon cycle of the lunar nodes, the points of eclipse (where the dragon swallows the sun.) As you say, angular relationships are important and marked by the notation system. What you are calling "aspects" and angular relationships (trine etc.) I am calling divisions of the ecliptic. Same thing.
