At the height of their art, Medieval Persian astrologers developed a very long range predictive technique for the rise and fall of religions, societies, and political rulers. Based on their technique, the Jupiter/Saturn Great Cycle demonstrates 800 year historic epochs composed of 200 year eras, with each era distinguished by a specific development theme.
In the year 2020, Jupiter and Saturn will meet in our skies at zero degrees Aquarius (Tropical Zodiac). Their meeting here signals a new 200 year era of social, economic and political developments that will emphasize the mind and ideas, communication and relationships. We may also regard the 2020 Jupiter/Saturn meeting as a threshold of the Aquarian Great Age (New Age). The Jupiter/Saturn Great Cycle and historic correspondences to our current period offer a valuable perspective for understanding current global events and issues, and a basis for effectively charting our way to a life-affirming planetary culture.
This presentation will address the following: a brief description of the astronomy/astrology of the Jupiter/Saturn Great Cycle; historic features of the prior and current Great Cycles, and the transition period of 1980 – 2020; and a consideration of the coming era that begins with the Jupiter/Saturn Mutation Conjunction in Aquarius in 2020. Considering also the current global phenomena of peak oil and climate change, we will seek to discern a positive vision and expectation for this formative cycle that carries into the 23rd Century. A period of small group discussion and visioning will follow the presentation.
