Almost all of the time, the moon and the earth are to some extent getting in the way of each other's path to the sun. There's only a very thin band in which there isn't even a partial eclipse. Either the moon is behind that line and being partially eclipsed by the earth, or vice versa
true but also I think humans are intuitive / pattern recognizing by nature and while there can always be argued “cognitive bias” there is a spiritual side to me that likes to believe there is more to our intuition than we give credit to .. ik this may be getting off topic and abstract but it jus felt good to express lol
That's real, I do agree that we tend to hunt for patterns. I just don't think the patterns we find via intuition are often real ones, i think it's more an evolutionary thing where seeing patterns that aren't there tended to turn out fine while missing patterns that were tended to get people eaten by bears lol
