Astronomy (if not astrology) does have some good timing mechanisms. Twelve years, roughly one Jupiter orbit, is the length of time in which most people go through the graded years of school. Twenty-nine years, roughly one Saturn orbit, is roughly the time needed for going from birth to completion of professional schooling or getting a PhD. Eighty-four years, approximately the time of an orbit of Uranus, is a reasonable estimate of the duration of childhood memories which influence political values. A hint: far fewer people remember Pearl Harbor than used to.
The Earth's orbit connects to so many things that it is a veritable catch-all. Weather on November 20 of one year is more likely to resemble that of a year earlier than of a month earlier outside the tropical zones. Crops will be planted and harvested at roughly the same times in each year.
The historical cycle is more powerful when fewer people know about it. If you want to study psychology among people who have never had even a third-hand knowledge of any Freudian concepts you need to go deep into the land of the primitive. In that respect, Austria was quite primitive in mass knowledge of psychology in the 1880's. Such is obviously not so when Freud is the second-most famous Austrian (as opposed to infamous -- you know, Satan Incarnate). The other fellow, of course, is Mozart.
Obviously I do not encourage any visits to North Sentinel Island.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
