4) In their transit cycle together, Jupiter and Saturn are regarded by Western mundane astrology as the Great Chronocrators, rulers of the ages. Their recurring 20-year conjunction (synodic cycle) is the basis of three historic cycles. First, their 20-years synodic cycle corresponds to a focus of social, cultural, and economic developments. Second, successive Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions occur in the same element for 200 - 220 years, corresponding to historic themes of structured expansion (a Mutation Conjunction marks the entry of their cycle into a new element). Finally, the Great Cycle of Jupiter/Saturn is 800 - 860 years - it begins with their conjoining in early Aries, and corresponds to fundamental shifts in cultural and economic developments.
