As far as this saeculum is concerned, we are right on schedule and things are happening as predicted, both generationally and cosmically speaking.
Have you summarized anywhere why you think there are 6 saecula on the civilization cycle? This would mean our current saecula is the downturn one which seems right...
No, I didn't think it means that; quite the opposite. We are only 120 years into the latest civilization cycle.
The feelings and impressions that we are currently in a downturning mode are the result of being in a fourth turning now, and because most young people today rejected or don't remember the second turning or the first.
But in a sense, that might be correct, in that we are in the second saeculum since the latest cycle of civilization began; at least in the sense of the second set of 84 years.
The civilization cycle being just under 500 years, which is evident in examining history and the rise and fall of major civilizations, 6 seacula fit well into it; at least approximately.
The saeculum calendar coincides with the cycles of the outer three planets, which are in a 1-2-3 resonance. So there are three Uranus cycles within a Pluto cycle, and two within a Neptune cycle. Only after 6 cycles of Uranus do all three planets return to about the same place and are all starting their new cycles at the same time.
This is my summary of the civilization cycle.
