{maketoc}What Are Outer Planet Waves?Outer planet waves simply stand as a metaphor to help understand how to tie outer planet movements to history.{attachment id=21}This model leads to elegant descriptions because the proportions remain the same no matter what planet wave we speak of. Whether we speak of ((906Neptune-Pluto1398)) that spans nearly five hundred years or ((1883Saturn-Pluto1915)) of about thirty-one, the model remains the same. These waves describe processes we know but take for granted like the phases of the Moon. {attachment id=7}or{attachment id=3}No matter how what planetary interactions we choose or how far we extend into the universe, the wave metaphor still applies. More than being applicable across time and space this measuring device describes feelings and realities we go through time and time again. Each process we venture upon has a beginning, middle, end and we recognize this consciously and unconsciously, but the wave breaks the process into more useful sections. Whatever the circumstance we see a seed moment, both a beginning and end, this seed needs time to grow before we recognize it for the object it has the potential to be. The span between &quot;planting&quot; and emergence is a critical time whether we speak of agriculture, child-rearing or project management. Just planting a seed does not guarantee its survival, especially in pre-modern times. Emergence depends on soil conditions, suitability of the seed to climate conditions, what kind of care is taken or is possible and so on. Again, success in the projects mentioned above must meet the same conditions. If we work on a project, the seed moment involves intial idea, organization, gathering of materials and setting deadlines and setting forth on the tasks required to complete. If we speak of human growth, we can consider the birth as the seed moment. For first time parents, the end of free time accompanies the beginning of life and the time between &quot;seedling&quot; and emergence can be depicted as follows: {attachment id=6}Store that this illustration displays a Saturn's orbit in wave form, we will return to it later.For humans emergence comes near the school age, around six or seven. How well a child emerges depends on her/his genetic composition-- a pumpkin seed will not produce a lemon--the care the child receives and the environment that sets the expectations. A hunter-gatherer child will have a different skill set to absorb than a modern one.From here we move past beginnings to a middle portion. Notice that from emergence to the half point of the onset conditions still persist. How someone plans a project, the care vegetation receives from seedling to root and leave growth reflects the conditions found at the midpoint of the wave. Nonetheless, at this half point, for humans this equates to puberty, we expect differently than what we do at the first portion of the cycle. The crop still requires regular care, but nurse it less. Children do not require the hour to hour attention they do at a younger age. In fact one who is smothered may be not be able to act as independently later. At puberty notice that the child takes on features our subject will have for the rest of her/his life, but we also know that the maturation process has a ways to go. A plant will produce buds, but the fruit must wait until it ripens. Teenagers can and some do have children, but physiologically and mentally the process continues. As far as the wave model we have moved from 0°/360° (seed) through emergence (90°) to budding (180°). At the seed moment we move across the x-axis to crossing the y-axis at the wave trough back to crossing the x-axis at midpoint. ...page...Wave RankingsFor the same reasons that ((outer planets)) tell us more about history than ((inner planets)) do , we rank waves from the long-term to the short-term. History tied to short-term waves must take into account mid-term ones, mid-term historical trends operate within the long-term framework. The industrialism of Germany tied to ((1883Saturn-Pluto1915)) makes no sense within the frame of the ((1599Uranus-Pluto1710)) wave, but makes perfect sense within ((1849Uranus-Pluto1964)). Long-Term WavesThe long term waves inlude between Neptune and Pluto, Uranus to Neptune and Uranus to Pluto. Of these the Neptune-Pluto wave most closely matches the ages most historians ranks as divisions marked by distinct turning points. Because of the wave ranking discussed above, might surmise that the ((Uranus Waves)) act as connective tissue between the Neptune-Pluto waves.Another ProportionOnce this entire project comes together, I will publish an imagemap based on the following Timewheel(tm) model, but another wheel on the outside with corresponding events according to region or topic. Nonetheless, I noticed something that looked familair for the time wheels that represent each Neptune-Pluto Wave.{attachment id=34}Look for the text in black on the wheel on the two outer rings and you will see four in the outer and three in the middle one. The black text represent conjunctions that appear during a Neptune-Pluto wave span. Thus during each Neptune-Pluto wave we will see four Uranus-Pluto conjunctions and three Uranus-Neptune ones. Extending to ((quadrate alignments)) equal amounts of the above appear within each of the same increments, i.e., four Uranus-Pluto oppositions and four upper and lower squares etc and three Uranus-Neptune in each alignment category.This ratio matches the number of ((elements)) (3) and ((qualities)) found throughout the zodiac. The familiar elements cover the basic building blocks of life: ((fire)), ((earth)), ((air)) and ((water)), while the less known qualities ((cardinal)), ((fixed)) and ((mutable)) represent how things (the elements), move. Without movement all of the material objects in world do us no service at all.Seeing these Neptune-Pluto periods as we see the zodiac may further help us see history more holistically. Uranus-Pluto alignments act like the elements, offering us the building blocks of change. Is the change fiery, of a more cerebal nature (air)?   Uranus-Neptune alignments relate to the quality of change. Is it change that establishes a change (fixed) or one that presents more opportuniity (mutable).Truthfully, this observation is as new to me as it is to the reader. The rant around it are not fully developed, but wa observation. ...page...Neptune-Pluto These waves average 493 years, a span conveniently near 500 year spans by which conventional historians typically segment history. Because of Pluto's lopsided orbit the wave segments do not fall  into the quarterly measurements we might expect. For instance during ((1399Neptune-Pluto1892)) the quadrate alignments fall at 171 years, 71 years, 172s and 70 years respectively. Neptune-Pluto waves represent large changes in the collective mindset. Collective belief systems meet evolutionary changes. Neptune-Pluto Waves and Historical AgesThe list below lines up quite well next to mainstream historical age divisions. Historians and readers smartly break history into digestable sections. Of course, various times in history warrant study as a cohesive unit, such as with the ((Roman Empire)) or ((The Bronze Age)). Almost too conveniently, Neptune-Pluto wave alignments come very close to matching turning points related to these two examples, for instance. ((82bceNeptune-Pluto409)) closely parallels the Roman Empire period. Yes, the traditional date begins with Julius Caeser's ascension to Emperor in 42bce, but the ((Socii Revolution)) of 82bce that determined his path tells a more complete story. Admittely, that the Bronze Age began with ((3062bceNeptune-Pluto2558bce)) might seem like a leap, since no definitive date exists, but we have a method for testing such conjecture ((The Outer Describes the Inner)) covers how each wave has an internal structure that connects events within a wave to one another. Both the history of Greece and the dawn of Modernism serve as great examples.((576bceNeptune-Pluto85bce)): History by Quadruate Alignments    * 576bceNeptune-0°-Pluto85bce: 576bce- Greece, particularly Athens reached a peak helped because its central location made it a commercial center. This brought them in competition to Persia and the Sparta as well as other city states.     * 576bceNeptune-90°-Pluto85bce: 404bce - Greece and Sparta wars end at the expense of both.     * 576bceNeptune-180°-Pluto85bce: 334bce - ((Alexander the Great)) of Macedon consolidates Greece defeats Persia; spreads Greek culture across large swaths of territory; as a result much of the west Asia and parts of Europe underwent Hellenization; this cultural shift created the headwater from which the river of western culture flowed. It is important to remember that ((Aristotle)) personally tutored Alexander; Aristotle's philosophical heritage leads directly back to ((Anaximander)), who at the beginning of the 576bce-85bce Neptune-Pluto wave had to be at the prime of his life. He and his colleagues ushered in the Greek element of the Axial Age, leading us back to Aristotle through ((Socrates)) and ((Plato)).     * 576bceNeptune-270°-Pluto85bce: 168bce - The last Macedonian War. This, along with the Punic wars of fifty years previous gave full control of the Mediterranean, and further erasing another remnant of Greek glory. Hellenization continued but it came via Rome rather than Macedon or Athens. Decadal TransitsPluto's unique makes measuring so much fun! Because Pluto orbit's, pinched at one end, fat at the other contributes to Neptune-Pluto ((transits)) that last for decades rather than the normally eight to ten years of most Neptune-Pluto events....page...Uranus Waves The best way to gather meaning from these waves takes seeing them as a connected pair. Uranus-Pluto waves introduce new developments whether society wants them or not. Uranus-Neptune waves tend toward the acceptance of Uranus-Pluto ideas across the spectrum. Uranus-Neptune Waves These waves return to the same quadrate alignments every 172 years or so. This wave helps translate the collective evolutionary changes into new methods that develop as humans move through time. We must remember that these changes happen in parallel to ((Uranus-Pluto)) that coincide with societal changes that appear more abruptly. Uranus-Neptune waves on the other hand deal with the acceptance of revolutionary change. These changes typically revolve around new abilities to perform tasks and to perceive reality in different terms. The differences associated with these waves typically alter societies as much as those connected to with Uranus-Pluto alignments but the collective more readily accept the need to move to a new a paradigm. This characteristic certainly held true for during the last two ((conjunction))s of Uranus and Neptune, 1821 and 1993, respectively. Indeed we their waves easily trace back to the beginning of the Age of Reason when ((1650Uranus-Neptune1821)). That split from established doctrine engendered the creation of physics and the more complete understanding of physical forces, seen and unseen. Around 1821  and thereafter ((Michael Faraday)), took principles of natural philosophy and extended them into practical systems that laid the foundation of modern science and technology. His experiments with magnetism and electromotive force set the forth the practical application of electricity, leading to its widespread adaption around the globe. He also introduced many of the of the terms relevant to both chemistry and electricity in use today. He also laid the foundation for atomic theory and set the stage for electronics on which the Internet lives.Around the same time, steam technology, around since near the beginning of ((1711Uranus-1819)) moved out of the mining industry onto steamships and onto what would become railroads. From here forward transportation and electricity, moved forward in parallel. {attachment id=61}     * ~1821: Faraday introduces electromotion; steam moves to transportation;    * ~1868: Siemens establishes practical use of DC current; electric trams soon follow; Edison begins experiments; Otto releases internal combustion engine    * ~1908: Radio transmissions begin; electric appliances begin to reach public; Henry Ford builds mass-production factories; heavier than air machines begin flying regularly;     * ~1956: Transistors prove practical; post-war boom puts automobiles in hands of most classes at least in US; jets begin to replace propeller aircraft ~1993: Internet goes into hands of general public; cell-phones take similar path; electronics increasingly take over engine regulation and monitoring; Internet culture promotes global industrialization.These connections certainly display how society changed in revolutionary ways. The Age or Reason took a big leap away from Church dogma, electricity and motorized transportation dramatically altered how and where people could and did live. The Internet and its networked cousins brought every part of the world to almost everyone's fingertips. These changes have positive and negative affects we still work through but Uranus-Neptune waves clearly point to trajectories related to how one collective transacts with another....page...Uranus-Pluto WavesSpan: Alternates 110/140 years. Again since Pluto makes up part of this pairing, the increments have unequal lengths of 110 and 140 years. Astrologers claim each planet represent different forms of massive forces of change: revolutionary and evolutionary. If this proves true we should expect incremental change and advances suddenly leading to major breakthroughs or breakdowns. Recent history matches Uranus-Pluto events to times of dramatic, sometimes violent uprisings. These times also brought major lurches forward, featuring times where humans had to accept new circumstance whether prepared to or not. 1455-1848 {attachment id=64} 	{attachment id=63} {attachment id=62} 	 {attachment id=53} Uranus-Pluto waves have a direct pedigree from the invention of the printing press up to and including the birth of the Internet, tainted with revolutions of all kinds along the way.1454 could have been a year when the Italain city states could have united into a powerful bloc. Instead inner rivalaries prickled their attempted treaty and Italian unity faded far into the future. Meanwhile, in England the end of the Hundred Years War ignited the War of the Roses, a sometimes bitter contest eventually establishedthe English character that later powered into a part of imperial power. Back on the mainland, Gutenberg eventually beat out others and printed a Bible by press, one the still bears his moniker. On the Black Sea in 1453, the long fading Byzantine Empire, the last remnants of Imperial Rome, fell to a Turkish emir (with the help of a Hungarian engineer on the cannons). {attachment id=64}By 1498, a good portion of the Carribean opened up to European culture, with some of the results reaching publication by press. Stories of African and Indian sea routes also began to reach the hands of the literate, a small portion but one who might know to whom to sell precious spices. Some conjecture that Turkish control inspired these sea voyages, but the Ottomans never cut off the trade routes.At mid-cycle near 1540 the Tudor king, Henry VIII descendant of a victor of the War of the Roses, broke with the Roman Church, setting up worship fairly unchanged but under power of the throne. In one bold move a tithe disappeared and asset of influence emerged; the throne could award abbys and convents for special favors. Tnat the Church alread fought Protestanism in Germany, Switzerland and Bohemia did not escape the attenion of this influential monarch. Also around this time Copernicus would oppose the Church in another way. His publication spoke of revolution of a different kind, that of planets around the sun.Around the upper square of 1566, the man who took Copernicus' ideas another critical step, Kepler entered this world. Around the same time, Europe's religious conflict entered a level where Protestants fought among themselves to establish the best way to worship, while fighting the Catholic hierarchy. The still mighty Church close to this time (1564) sent the message that its reform would not come into question at the Council of Trent. Indeed, it signaled a redoubling of its efforts by launching the Counter-Reformation. Notice too that two polities that soon gained much through more secular approaches. England and the United Provinces begin to move beyond where Spain and Portugal, partnered business interests with government, setting a trend that Spain knew nothing of. As the ((1455Uranus-Pluto1598)) wave came to end and ((1599Uranus-Pluto1710)) dawned, we can see the power of print in action again as ((Kepler)) refined Copernicus, forging the chain the led to Galileo)) (also born at  upper square of 1567) to confirm heliocentric focus of our solar system. The printed word and the formation of the modern English also emerge as themes through ((Shakespeare)) another denizen of the circa ((1567 Uranus-Pluto upper square)) (both were born in 1564). Completing the wave, we should note that Descartes, the man most often connected to established the philosophical foundation came to the world in 1598....page...1599-1710{attachment id=63}The ((1599Uranus-Pluto1710)) connects the last of the ((Renaissances)) through the ((English Civll War)), the onset of the ((Age of Reason)) and the ((Peace of Westphalia)) at the midpoint around 1649, through the onset of the Industrial Age around start of the XVIIth century. Through all of the events we can see the shadow of the press (King James Bible, The Leviathan, Discourse in Method, the ability to distribute treaty text in various languages. The midpoint, a busy time because ((1478Uranus-Neptune1650)) ended and the midpoint of ((1399Neptune-Pluto1892)) appeared at the same time also coincided with the births of ((Newtown)) and ((Liebniz)). The roots of the French Revolution firmly planted themselves with ((Le Fronde)) as the last Spanish glory begin its final fade as the second half  of ((1599Uranus-Pluto1710)) came to an end. Also of note, the Church here lost its political role; it issued a Bull against the peace that ended the religious wars; it was ignored....page...1711-1848Balance of Power Diplomacy dominated this period, None of the major powers France, Great Britain and Austria felt they could afford to let the another gain too strategic and advantage. With this knowledge, smaller entities used any strategic anamoly to their advantage, engaging in alliances or playing offers against one another to gain whatever they could. This condition engendered creation of standing armies and weaponry, a new development meant to bypass the needs of mercernaries. Mercernaries still survive down to our time, but standing armies now make up a major part of standard military practice. An offshoot of this practice came in the form of strategic shows of force. Leaders with shiny new armies often did want to ding them in combat. Soldiers would move to a threatening position and then negotiations began. Nonetheless, armies and arms cost money, more specifically cash. A system of modern taxation still lay on the horizon. This arms race, along with other factors, contributed to the conditions that exploded at the peak of ((1710Uranus-Pluto1848)): the ((French Revolution)).Though other outer planet events connect with this watershed event, the connections to Uranus-Pluto events stand clear. For one, as we have seen whenever an outer planet wave reaches a midpoint, history reaches a turning point. This proves no different as the condition appeared between 1792-93. Secondly, the on the ground conditions match the timeline of 1711Uranus-Pluto1848. The arms war launched by Louis XIVth continued through the XVIIIth century. Both his method and government and another underlying factor of the Revolution date back to around ((1598Uranus-180-Pluto1710: 1649)). The other factor? The Age of Reason. The ((Enlightenment)), its successor, fairly well described many of the may ideals the revolution was supposed to test. By the beginning of 1711Uranus-Pluto1848, it pretty much was well on its way to be a guiding force for the rest of the century. With this cultural movement, we recognize the pedigree of Gutenberg's Bible near the ((1455 Uranus-Pluto conjunction)); the Enlightenment gorged on the printed word.A major grievance of the uprising centered around representative taxation, an issue also dating back to the Sun King. Modern armies and commerce run on cash, but most governments lacked the ability to leverage of the growing commercial market. These markets included engineers, lawyers and accountants, who demanded a regular and stated rate of pay. But most monarchies, built on primogeniture traced back centuries, lived on fixed incomes. Ultimately, this need for politics to catch up with modern reality represented the root cause of the event that forever transformed the class structure of European culture, wherever it landed. From here forward the terms liberal and conservative, socialist or capitalist began to better explain peoples view than medieval terms left behind.Leaping forward to 1965 and the beginning of ((1966Uranus-Pluto2100)) we recognize these very terms and some of the characteristics of protest pioneered in the 1790s. Socialism, popularism as well as conservatism and even fascism all trace their roots to La Revolution. In fact, each ((quadrate alignment)) from 1792 through 1965 points to a turning point related to competition among the classes, particularly along the lines of socialism versus capitialism. Certainly, the grievances related to these issues helped fuel the split from the ancien regime. The revolution's seeming failure still inspired others to attempt the same with varyiing degrees of success. The Uranus-Pluto conjunction of 1848  coincided with revolutions across Europe an atmosphere that encouraged the publication of the ((Communist Manifesto))-- ((Karl Marx)) was born at the Uranus-Pluto upper square in 1821.At the ((1849Uranus-Pluto1965)) ((lower square)) around 1876 we run into the ((Panic of 1873)) and ((Great Railroad Strike of 1877)). The latter especially laid out the storyboard for labor issues in the United States.through the 1930s.The railroad striike, that turned increasingly violent, arrived on the combination of government fiat connected to corporate financing. When the ((Jay Cooke Bank)) failed it set up a cascade of failures across the United States. In 1877 when B&amp;O raillroad attempted to cut wages for the second time that year, workers prevented stock from moving. This set off a movement that eventually shut down railroad transit around the nation. Eventually, federal troops helped suppress the violence. The final outcome her is that the unions realized that they required a stronger voice and strategies other than riots. But the battle of worker versus corporation was firmly enjoined. Around the world during the 1870s, socialist groups enjoined setting up next episodes of struggle.1849-1965{attachment id=53}The quadrate alignments for ((1849Uranus-Pluto1965)) fell along the fault lines of Communism and the working class struggles. Falling back a bit, 1848 brought revolutions that though ostensibly unsuccessful, scared governments enough to introduce rights and freedoms to more and more citizens. Governments looked for ways to increase suffrage while various groups advocated for the same. One that began with little relent were women. The first Feminist convention convened at Seneca falls in 1848. Around the same the US abolitionst movement began to advocate for freedoms, butting against US law.We already covered the 1877 lower square and how the capitalism spurred by industrialism gave rise to workers rights advocacy. That these still appeared largely unmet evinces in the Progressive movements at the turn of the XXth century and the disastorous 1905 Russian Revolution. We can see the other side of the equation with the introduction of mass production pioneered by ((Henry Ford)) near the 1901 Uranus-Pluto opposition. Here we see the signature of the ((1710Uranus-0-Pluto1848: 1710)) where the Industrial Revolution began and one, like the printing press, that likely will carry down through history.1930 near the ((1849Uranus-Pluto1965)) ((upper square)) touched these circumstances in at least a couple ways. ((Stalin)) around this time consolidated his power, transforming socialism into a state run machine, for better and worse. With mass production methods, the then USSR produced its way to some parity with the West. Efforts turned out successful enough to promote the Soviet Republics by the end of ((1849Uranus-Pluto1965)) to superpower status. At what was also the beginning of ((1966Uranus-Pluto2100)), the two powers representing the most powerful of competing idioms, capitalism and socialism brought the world close to mass destruction, and after backing away from direct confrontation used proxy wars to battle the other's industrial-military complex.The 1960s' cultural complexities match those of planetary interactions of the time; we must factor in all of outer planet ((quadrature alignments)) (there were many) to make reasonable connections between the outer planets and the history of the decade, but the roadmap established above makes clear how events of that decade demonstrates clear Uranus-Pluto connections. Another one very similar to Gutenberg's Bible came into history with the introduction of the ((Arapanet)), its cousins and its descendants. Like the printing press it served a few needs at first, but eventually the needs and wants delivered via the Internet find limit only at the number of people who access it. Taken beyond the restriction of actual usage, books affected millions who never learned to read.Our culture reveres the printed word, for good reason. We measure a nation or culture by its literacy. We should remember, however, that the book, like introduction of writing, also brought a way life to end. Before books reached critical mass, delivery of the spoken word followed a tradition dating back centuries. Yes, the Church produced text written by hand, but even this technique matches the ability to interject individual style into each piece. The press took the first step into mass production, introducing many of the requirements and behaviors inherent to modern commerce and industry.Banking, accounting, government treasuries all depend on the repitition and precision that the press provides. Gutenberg had to defend his patent against the financial backer that lended him the capital needed to produce his seminal invention. With the press we also received communication in the vernacular, the ability to convey standard instructions to many at once over long distances. Advertising and promotion played major roles in fomenting revolution both religious and secular: Martin Luther's message spread prodigiously with the help of the press. Through the printed word people read of a new world and cast their fate to words cast on paper. The press also brought to us authors, those who could make a living solely or partially because of their ability to place words on paper people wanted to read. Eventually, women too could do the same, a development that still alters our worldview. What people wrote or read could range from a treatise on,  the evils of witches or Mein Kampf, Little Women or Walden's Pond. Like money, the printed word could end up in anyone's hand.Directly descendant from the press, the Internet and similar networks is open to all, from pedophiles to racists, to humane societies and mental health support groups, the Internet offers access to all and changes even those who have never touched a computer. Like the printed word it simultaneously enriches and displaces.     Mid-Term WavesSaturn-Uranus WavesDuration: 46 YearsThis frequency means that the same Saturn-Uranus quadurate alignment occurs twice a century. Saturn-Neptune Waves Saturn-Pluto WavesDuration: 31/38 Years ...page...  Short-Term Waves   ...page... Real World Wave Examples1954Saturn-Neptune1989This wave is covered in more detail here, but a synopsis helps illustrate the above:       * 0°/360°-1954: The Saturn-Neptune conjunction stood within in orb of the joint UK/USA overthrow of Mossadeq, prime minister of the democratically elected Iranian government of 1951. They installed the western-oriented Shah, who depended on the Americans to keep his power    * 90°-1962: Khomeini exiled to Turkey by Shah. This enabled the cleric to gather support international support to his cause. The time also included forced literacy programs in the military and mass relocations that urbanized the cities to the expense of rural landowners. This program created a middle-class but also enriched many of the Shah's supporters. The middle-class became torn between support for the Shah and distaste of government control.     *
