The nodes of the moon are the r/ V "'
points where the path of the moon crosses that of the
sun. It is here that eclipses occur and thus where the
solar disc can be turned black and the moon can be
plunged suddenly into darkness. !t was imagined these
celestial luminaries had been swallowed by a light
opposing dragon and these nodes were termed Caput
and Cauda Draconis, the Head and Tail of the Dragon.
Their significance is carried into the geomantic figures
which share these names. Caput Draconis ·: • is associated
with Sagitarius, and we find the archer's bow in the
drawing. Cauda Draconis : is attributed to mars and
saturn and next to the figur� :ire three mars symbols and
his body carries a variation of the square of saturn.
