Pluto cycle of nearly 500 years finds Neptune and Pluto in nearly the same position.
Since five revolutions of Pluto nearly equal two revolutions of the planet next beyond Pluto, the difference (5 - 2 = 3)
gives the number of conjunctions they will make in their cycle of 1,230 years. Mrs. Bradford finds that the first 4 of the
6 phases of a single Culture cycle, or 1,000 years, develop the four basic psychological elements of human nature
(Jung): the emotional; imaginative (also called the intuitive); rational (intellectual); and sensate (sensory)-in that order.
During the fifth phase the preceding four are integrated, the quintessence (quintus, the fifth) of the experience of the
Culture is distilled, developing what we term a complete Civilization. Politically this may be an Imperium or Empire;
such as the Roman Empire; which was the fifth, and later the sixth phase, of the Grecian Culture. As Mrs. Bradford's
five phases equal 1,250 years, approximately the period of Pluto's position and relation recurrence with the planet just
beyond it, it appears to indicate that her study is actually an observation of the effects of the cycles of the four outermost
planets - even though she herself is not an astrologer. According to her deductions the Atlantic Culture of Northern
Europe and North America is now about to leave its fourth phase to pass into the fifth; the second or introvertive half of
the double Culture-Period of the Mediterranean Culture (the Greco-Roman in the extrovert cycle, and the Catholic and
Latin Europe in the introvertive) should end its final phase this Century; and the North Asian or Slavic Culture, which
includes most of Russia, is ending the final phase of its extrovert cycle and about to pass into its introvert cycle. This
final phase is a barbaric period of great physical vitality, and its "conversion" into the first phase of the introvert Culture
period is always concurrent with a vital and major religious development. This suggests that the next religious
renascence, in the latter part of this century, will be an especially vital one for the Slavic peoples.
The intimacy of the relationship of the orbits of Neptune and Pluto can be seen in this comparison:
Neptune ......... 163.74 ty. x 3 revolutions = 491.22 ty.
Pluto ........... 245.33 ty. x 2 revolutions = 490.66 ty.
Synodic cycle, mean value ...................492.33 y.
Uranus Cycle. The researches of modern astrologers indicate the renewing and revolutionary character of the Uranus
period of 83¾ tropical years, and the Neptune period of 163¾ tropical years; and confirm the long-established
significance of the Saturn period of 29½ years, and the Jupiter period of 11 6/7 years. But it is from a consideration of
the synodic periods and the cycle of recurrent aspects between two of them, that, interesting conclusions can be deduced
as to their sociological significance. Thus the Uranus-Neptune first order recurrence period is that of I conjunction -
171.403 years. In the past 2,500 years the effect of the Uranus eccentricity has reduced this to an average value of some
171.0 years. This is especially significant when compared to a cycle in the history of Civilization, found by Dr.
Raymond F. Wheeler, of the University of Kansas, who also is not an astrologer and is therefore free of any bias in
favor of a cycle of a particular astronomical length. He gives its length as 170 years, only 0.6 per cent less than that of
the Uranus-Neptune cycle. He finds that it marks broad changes in the pattern of society, and is accompanied by social
upheavals - typical of all Uranian influences. He attributes the cycle to climatic changes, but at least one investigator of
climatic cycles finds no confirming evidence in a climatic cycle of that duration.
Further, regarding the second order recurrence cycles of Uranus-Neptune in the Fixed and Moving Zodiacs, after 21
conjunctions they return to a point about 6° short of their initial place in the Zodiac of Precession. The fascinating thing
is that this takes place in 3,599.46 years - the 3,600-year period which the ancient Chaldees referred to as the real and
original Saros cycle. Thus it can be estab- lished that in 7,209y, only ten years after the next Uranus-Neptune recurrence
in 7,199y, there will be a Jupiter-Saturn recurrence. Therefore the double Saros is a compound recurrence cycle of the
four innermost major planets. If we divide this into 12 subperiods we find a significant change of aspect pattern every
600 years: Jupiter and Neptune advancing 8, Saturn 5, and Uranus 2 Signs - which 600-year period is the equally
famous Naros cycle of the Chaldees. In addition, the Sun, Moon and Mars recur in the same position and relationship at
the end of 6 Centuries. Therefore since Jupiter-Neptune remain in the same aspect, both advanced 240° in the Naros
period, one may consider this a Jupiter-Neptune dominated cycle, that has to do not with political economy (Saturn-
