obliquities of planetary orbits; (b) the distorting effect, in a geocentric frame of reference, of the Earth's motion and
position; (c) variation in the motion of the Equinox -- 0° Aries; and (d) slight variations due to periodic perturbations.
The greatest variations will occur in the Uranus-Pluto first and second order recurrence cycles in the moving zodiac.
The synodic period of a recurrence cycle is the time between two successive conjunctions of the same two planets. The
Remainder indicates the number of degrees in advance at which the second conjunction takes place. A first order
recurrence cycle is, in effect, a series of a given number of conjunctions, at the end of which a conjunction recurs on
approximately the same degree as at the beginning of the cycle. The remainder of a first order cycle then becomes the
unit of a second order cycle, which after a given number of recurrences is repeated still more exactly upon the degree at
which it commenced its second order cycle.
