Summary on Findings from Nodal Position,
Lunar Eclipses, and Solar Eclipses
A survey of the results obtained during twelve years was made to test the hypothesis that the strength of formative impulses in plant saps as seen in the capillary dynamic test, is connected with the Moon.
The pictures obtained from plants gathered at about Full and new Moon in the years of the high and low inclination of the lunar path within the Nodal Cycle, In Perigee and Apogee, during lunar and solar eclipses were compared.
It was seen that marked changes in the strength of form in the sap pictures went parallel with marked changes in the position of the Moon. The results confirmed the hypothesis.
Weak formative power was found:
- At the times of the summer and winter Full and New Moons in the years of the high lunar path at the beginning of the nodal cycle;
- At Full Moon in Perigee, New Moon in Apogee;
- During Lunar eclipses;
- During the middle of total solar eclipses.
Strong formative power was found:
- At the times of summer and winter Full and New Moons during the years of the low lunar path at the end of the half nodal cycle;
- At Full Moon in Apogee, New Moon in Perigee;
- During the middle of annular solar eclipses.
