The term 'post-modern'
comes with some contention. Historians and artists define it differently and assign it approximate different start dates. For the the purpose of this seminar post-modern means "after the modern era".This implies modernity, which in the broadest terms meansthemove away from medieval theocracy, a process that birthed the Ageof Reason, The Enligtenment. the American, French and Industial Revolutions. It is process that brings us into the Age of Steel, Robber Barons, Mass Entertainment & Production, Female Suffrage and Nuclear Physics. The Narrative begins with Nietzsche's 'God is Dead'.
An End to a Beginning
The full quote is: 'God is dead and we have killed him.' Which means Man no longer needed God. He had surpassed God's power; God was no longer needed,
He said it several times under the shadow of the 1890s Neptune-Pluto conjunction.

In essence, Nietzsche produced the words 'God is Dead' as Neptune-Pluto conjunction had begun, inaugurating a new near 500-year cycle, 1892-2384. It was during the previous cycle, 1399-1891 that the modern world began.

~1399 God Has Left Us
The fear at the dawn of the 15th Century was that God had forlorn humanity because the corrupt Roman Church had lost its way. The Black Plague surpassed the half-century mark; up to three popes claimed the throne in what became the Great Western Schism. Some even whispered reform. As most recall, reform eventually turned into Reformation. It was that process that lead to the Modern Era.
Before delving too closely into detail, I want to state that the 495-year Neptune-Pluto cycle can be evaluated via hard aspect or quadrature alignment:

This means that the relationship between hard aspects work across all planetary cycles and, in theory across history.
Each Neptune-Pluto shares equal characteristics:
- 495-years (±2-3 years)
- Phase sequence 172/72/172/72 years (±1-2 years)
- Pluto Return at midpoint (opposition) of cycle
- Contains four Uranus-Pluto conjunctions
- Contains three Uranus-Neptune
This means that why eacn 495 year cycle shares the same characteristics, each is unique by where Uranus-Pluto and Uranus-Neptune hard aspects fall relative to Neptune-Pluto ones. What Measuring History calls the WaveWheel demonstrates how the juxtaposition appears for 1399-1891:
