A map of the IAU-defined constellation boundaries with the equal length signs used in tropical astrology overlaid.One can see that, due to precession and the inequality in the sizes of constellations, it appears that the constellations the signs are based on have moved eastward by nearly a month (or 30 degrees).
Since a saros, of 223 synodic months, is slightly less than a whole number of draconic months, the early eclipses in a saros series (in the upper part of the diagram) occur after the Moon goes through its node (the beginning and end of a draconic month), while the later eclipses (in the lower part) occur before the Moon goes through its node.
The draconic or nodical month is the average interval between two successive transits of the Moon through the same node. Because of the torque exerted by the Sun's gravity on the angular momentum of the Earth–Moon system, the plane of the Moon's orbit gradually rotates westward, which means the nodes gradually rotate around Earth.
The draconic month is the time from ascending node to ascending node. The time between two successive passes of the same ecliptic longitude is called the tropical month. The latter periods are slightly different from the sidereal month. The average length of a calendar month (a twelfth of a year) is about 30.4 days. This is not a lunar period ...
