These Tweets refer to the 19 year Metonic Cycle that results in eclipses repeating at the exact same degree as the eclipses 19 years previous. 19 solar years = 235 synodic months, almost exactly.
1. Because of the correlation between 19 years and 235 synodic months, the 4 eclipses of 2012 repeat the degrees of the 4 eclipses in 1993.
2. 1993- Solar Eclipse May 21 @ 0.31 Gemini; T.Lunar Eclipse June 4 @ 13.55 Sagittarius; Solar Eclipse Nov 13 @ 21.32 Scorpio; T.Lunar Eclipse Nov 29 @ 7 Gemini.
3. 2012- Solar Eclipse May 20 @ 0.21 Gemini; Lunar Eclipse June 4 @ 14.14 Sagittarius: T.Solar Eclipse Nov. 13 @ 21.57 Scorpio; Lunar Eclipse Nov28 @ 6.47 Gemini.
