{maketoc}Saturn, in my opinion, represents the key to understanding the connection between the humans that make history and the planets that mirror it. Saturn's near thirty-year orbit best reflects human generations. Better yet, it represents those generations across time. Thirty years represents different things to a hunter-gatherer and a post-modern city-dweller, respectively. Thirty years also holds different meanings to women and men as well. Whether we are speaking three thousand years ago, however, or three hundred, Saturn still works as a collaboration device whose standard remains constant across time. <h2>Saturn and the Human Growth Cycle</h2>Saturn connects to humanity by more than mere generational coincidence. The diagram below, consistent with the wave model we already use, shows where human growth and Saturn merge.
