I hope these lists encourage you to research the synods of the outer-planets, to perhaps identify correspondences with events in Earth's history and in our human development. As utilised in astrology, a synod is a recurrent cycle between consecutive conjunctions of two planets (1). Here below, you can download synodic lists of the outer planet pairs, covering their movements through the tropical zodiac from 5000 BC to 3300 AD. The radical (base) charts are erected in Universal Time (UT) at Greenwich, UK, for ease in transposition. You have a choice of lists sorted either in date order (Fig 1), or sorted in aspect groups (Fig 2). Each list indicates the date when aspects between the two planets perfected (became exact); the zodiacal degree and sign of each planet; and, direct or retrograde motion. The following aspects are listed: conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile, semisextile, and quincunx. I've also listed, and use, parallel and contra-parallel declinations.
Fig 1: Date order of the aspects between two planets between 5000 BC and 3000 AD. Universal Time (UT) is eases transposition to geodetic charts. After identifying a major astrological change, I shift to geodetic charting to analyse transits to angles. You can browse a collection of static radical charts for various locations around the world in the Geodetic Chart Library.
Fig 2: The synodic cycle list is sorted showing consecutive Aspects of the two planets between 5000 BC and 3000 AD. You can view the repetition and variability in the synodic cycle relative to tropical zodiac sectors. The number of consecutive conjunctions in each zodiac sector vary, modified by elongated planetary orbits. Though consecutive conjunctions of both planets may be in the same zodiac sector, the configuration of other planets will be different. You're email questions on synodic cycles are welcome, answers will be compiled in a FAQ. |

I browse the synods from Pluto-Neptune to Pluto-Jupiter, highlight significant astrological events, then investigate specific dates in more detail. I'll erect charts to geodetic longitude, beginning at Greenwich, UK, in universal time, which inserts planetary transits into a static grid of Cartesian coordinates. This results in view of transits against a fixed chart for each location on Earth, with unique axes/angles (ASC/DSC, MS/IC). Sector/House divisions are Placidus calculations, unless otherwise mentioned. Depending on the topic, I scan a variety of transit variables including: galactic centre, fixed stars, outer planets, declinations, stations, eclipses, inner planets, and solar and lunar phases. Using universal time is my default, because accuracy to the day is more than sufficient to identify changes in major trends and the major events that accompany them. The choice of Greenwich, UK, as the beginning of the geodetic grid is arbitrary, it's current, familiar, and just makes time-zone adjustments easy. You can shift the beginning of the geodetic grid, east or west, as you choose, experiment. I also watch the performance of a grid beginning at Giza, Egypt, and a few other interesting locations.
