<em><strong>1648</strong></em> attempts to prove a long list of assumptions. However, this list compiles down to about three simple areas under which we can subcategorize:
<br /><br />
<ul>
<li>That outer planet waves more accurately define historical eras</li>
<li>That Saturn's orbit close match to the human-growth cycle helps explain why astrology works</li>
<li>That astrological patterns help define history more profoundly than conventional methods</li>
</ul>

<h1>Outer planet waves more accurately define historical eras</h1>
The first step defines what outer planet waves are. The second step compares outer waves to history. The last step shows how alignment of outer planet waves to history and ongoing events provides a more holistic view of the past present and future.
<h2>What is an Outer Planet Wave?</h2>
The wave model appears throughout <em>1648</em> for good reason: the model works on any scale. In the diagram shown below the wave form displays the same angular relationship whether it is between the sun and moon, Saturn's relationship to points in its own orbits, the seasons' relationship to one another as seen by the sun's orbit or outer planet combinations (in this case between Neptune and Pluto). The moniker "outer-planet wave" simply comes from the fact that the model fits across so many areas of interest.<br />
Outer planet waves basically describe the period between outer planet alignments. These alignments can occur anywhere along the 360° an imaginary orbit that represents the angular relationship between planets. The span between a Uranus-Neptune square, a 90° angular relationship, will always be 172 years. For the purposes of this publication, however, consider waves to describe the span between conjunctions,  0 or 360 degrees, depending on your preference. For the three out planets this gives us the following time periods:
<br />
<li>Uranus-Pluto: 110 or 140 years</li>
<li>Uranus-Neptune: 172 years</li>
<li>Neptune-Pluto: 492-495 years</li>
