Saturn – Jupiter Cycle: (
19.85 years): this was probably the most important cycle monitored by
the ancients (a single conjunction of these two planets happens every
twenty years but it may sometimes be repeated two or three times
over a period of few months due to the retrograde motion of one or both
planets). Every successive conjunction takes places 240° forward on the
Ecliptic so that every third conjunction (approximately every 60 years)
the alignment returns approximately to the same place on the Ecliptic
(with a difference of few degrees). Due to this peculiar relative
motions between Jupiter and Planet, for approximately three series of 60
years (180/200 years depending on the period) their conjunction takes
place in a sign of the same element: this cycle was called “Trigonalis”
by the ancients. The change of Trigonalis was
regarded as a key event in the life of a nation (i.e. the change of
Trigonalis happens when a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction takes place in
a sign of a different element): it was meant to mark a radical change
in the history, economy and destiny of nations.
Recognizing the importance of this cycle in marking radical
changes in history the Greeks called it the Great Chronocrator (or the Master of Time).
