This is way many seem to think we are stuck and that we really aren't in Crisis mode. Awakenings, or 2Ts, on the other hand, tend to be more frontloaded with the bulk of the action at the beginning of the turning. This is way we had two social moments 20 years apart and then apparently 60.
Astrology is key to why this happened in the last saeculum. Let's look at the planetary alignments and the social moments. The outer three invisible planets define the saeculum cycle.
In 1965 and 1966, Uranus and Pluto formed a powerful conjunction, right at the time both were near their closest points to Earth in their orbits. And it was the first outer-3 planet conjunction or opposition since all three planets had been discovered. That is a key indicator too-- discovery of a planet means it comes into our full consciousness in society.
Between 1963 and 1969, Uranus and Pluto were close to being aligned in conjunction. Within orb, we say. So, when the 2T social moment began in Nov. 1963 and 1964, Uranus and Pluto were getting very close. Uranus is the awakener, the revolutionary planet which, when discovered in 1781, set us off on our revolutionary journey. That was the year Americans won their independence at Yorktown, the industrial revolution took off, Kant wrote his famous revolutionary book, many discoveries in electricity and chemistry were happening, and so on. Pluto was discovered in 1930, when the New Deal and Nazism were on the rise as the great depression fell upon us.
Thus, the recent 2T was frontloaded because a Uranus-Pluto conjunction happened early in it. This was the era when I learned astrology. As I learned about the planets and conjunctions and what they mean in 1967, I decided to check and see if one was happening, because I thought there was. Sure enough, I found that Uranus and Pluto were lining up, and that their final exact alignment happened in exactly the week I thought they were, in late June 1966. That was a magic moment of awakening; the central moment from which the 2T sprung, and was building up toward in the previous 2-3 years.
Another Uranus-Pluto conjunction, the previous one, happened in 1850. At this time, the events leading to the civil war speeded up. Also the events leading to the national unification wars in Europe speeded up, right after revolutions happened throughout the continent in 1848-50, as well as in China. In that year 1850, the two sets of wars almost broke out, but were forestalled until the next decade.
The next right angle square aspect between them happened in the early 1930s, when the previous 4T was getting going, right after Pluto was discovered. The next right angle square of Uranus and Pluto happened in 2011-2013 and thereabouts. It seems to have had a similar impact to the 1848-1850 conjunction, as the Arab Spring string of dominoe revolutions were similar to those in Europe in 1848, and they both set off civil wars. But, our own 4T remains in a stall as it did then.
In the late 1880s and into the 1890s Neptune and Pluto were lining up. This is a rare and major once-in-500-years indicator of a new cycle of civilization. It shakes up all of our reigning powers and cultures. That frontloaded the previous 2T. Oppositions then followed to the two planets by Uranus in 1901 and 1908. In an opposition, the Earth sits right between two planets. That kept things hopping throughout that 2T. Revolutions happened all over the world.
Another opposition between revolutionary planets Uranus and Pluto happened in 1792-93. This was the peak of the French Revolution, and it had an impact in the USA making the first years of the American Republic ones of intense controversy. Other great Uranus-Pluto oppositions happened during the Great Rebellion in 1649, during Henry VIII's reign in the 1530s, and Henry IV's takeover just before 1400.
The next opposition between the revolution planets Uranus and Pluto happens in the late 2040s. Look for that one to front-load the next 2T, and to fulfill the unfinished movements of the nineteen-sixties.
Neptune reaching key seasonal points of the zodiac is also very significant. It reached the autumn equinox point entering Libra at the climax of the previous 4T, in the early 1940s; 1942-43. It was within minutes of entry and then went retrograde on Pearl Harbor Day. The previous autumn equinox of Neptune was in 1778, when France entered the revolutionary war, just after the Declaration of Independence. It entered Aries, the spring equinox point, in 1861 on the exact day Fort Sumpter was bombed, igniting the climax of the civil war. It's next entry into Aries is in 2025, and its final exact entry is on Jan 26, 2026. That will be the climax of the social moment now developing. (unless historians pick 2027 instead-- see below)
Returns of the outer planets to their original places in 1776 is part of this scheme. Uranus returned to its exact degree and minute location of July 4 1776 on the day Fort Sumpter was bombed in April 1861, and again to the same degree and minute on D-Day. S&H chose these as climax moments in 4Ts. The next Uranus return will happen in 2027. Neptune returned to its original 1776 place in about 1939 just before World War II. 2022 will be the first-ever Pluto Return.
