I began to wonder why Trump II corresponded to the moon, while Atu XVIII:The Moon was given to Pisces...
19: The Sun = 1
2: Priestess / Moon = 2
1: Magus / Mercury = 1
3: Empress / Venus = 3
16: Tower / Mars = 7
10: Fortune / Jupiter = 1
21: Universe / Saturn = 3
72=20+2+1+3+16+10+21
There is a myth of Thoth gambling with the Moon (Khonsu) for 1/72nd of its light (360/72 = 5), to provide 5 extra days to the year (360+5=365) that would allow Nut to thwart Ra and give birth to Kheru-ur (Horus the Elder, Face of Heaven), Osiris, Set (male twins), Isis, and Nepthys (female twins).

9 + 1 + 3 + 7 + 1 + 3 = 24 hours : 1 Sun

The Saros Cycle “...is very useful for predicting the times at which nearly identical eclipses will occur, and is intimately related to three periodicities of the lunar orbit: the synodic month, the draconic month, and the anomalistic month.” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saros_cycle )
1 Saros =
18 years + 11 days + 8 hours =
18 years + 10 days + 32 hours
or,
Years..............Days.......................Hours
18 (The Moon) +10 (Malkuth/Earth) +32 (Sun 33 (- 1 Occult))
While it would be easier to just acquire 32 by adding the 20+0+12 of the elements, I think the attribution of 33 is more correct, as we may be meant to subtract 1 for Sun or Moon, depending upon which is being occulted by the eclipse. This way one may actually equate values to the relevant glyphs in calculating the cycle.
The 8 hours (1/3rd day) meant the next eclipse would occur at the same longitude, 120 degrees to the West.
So, for an eclipse to occur in roughly the same position upon the Earth, a Triple Saros cycle must be observed:
(18 years, 11 days, 8 hours) x3 = Triple Saros
Otherwise known as an Exeligmos (‘Turn of the Wheel’); imagine a triangle were positioned within our oblate spheroid, Earth, and its’ vertices touching the ‘circle’ upon the proper longititude.
Thus, in the measure of Time, an Eye for the Sun, and another for the Moon.
