Another kind of progression to keep in mind is spiral dynamics, and its connection with planets and economic and cultural/political ages.
Why are the planets significant? What is going on?
To understand this, combine spiral dynamics with planetary dynamics.

What this means is that, although the planets have been out there for many millennia, humans are endowing them with significance as we develop and evolve socially and technically. We are connected to the cosmos and grow in its rhythms. There were no revolutions and new ages in caveman times, not to speak of the age of dinosaurs and trilobytes. Maybe there was something going on, some similar behavior as one of our posters here suggests. But for the most part we have developed in the order of the planets, climbing the ladder of planets outward and entering a new phase as we learn to resonate with each planet that is next farther out from the Sun and Earth.
Up until Saturn, the planets were visible to the eyes since ancient times when we could discern and observe them. And yet, they were not really "discovered" until we entered the meme in spiral dynamics that coincides with each planet (along with a few other phases that fill in missing details in spiral dynamics). So in that sense, when we discovered Uranus in 1781, the first invisible planet, it was only because we had "discovered" fully the meaning of Saturn in the previous phase, and we went right on with the progression, next discovering Neptune, and then Pluto, and then the outer belts of smaller bodies.
In modern and post-modern times, then, we have reached the upper phases of spiral dynamics as we have discovered and realized in society the meanings of the invisible planets. This is why the modern age is a new age.
As we reached each phase, and thus each new discovery and new way of living, the mutual cycles involving the corresponding planet became more significant. As we rise outward toward the stars in our consciousness and abilities, we rise through the phases of our social and cultural/economic evolution described by the planets and by the color memes of spiral dynamics. The evidence of history clearly shows these phases.
