The point of this diagram is to illustrate a major structural framework for the temporality of the solar system. In relation to earth, it is noteworthy that this pattern repeats every 178.9 years with strong regularity, so this picture is in a sense eternal. As previously noted, twelve of these patterns produce a cosmic age. The Saturn-Neptune cycle is like the 'cosmic second', considering the 2147 year long age as a minute.

The whole diagram is not fixed against the stars, but follows the SSB wavelength which moves 1/12 of the zodiac per cycle. To illustrate this movement, Neptune orbit is 164.8 years; 178.9/164.8=1.086; 0.086~=1/12 (>0.0833), so Neptune advances by just over one zodiacal sign between its periodic 179 year conjunctions with Jupiter and Saturn, starting each period in a new sign and covering all signs each age.

On the fortieth anniversary of the Paris Uprising of May 1968, it is interesting to pick a cherry regarding the SSB. Starting a 178.9 year cycle at 0, there are ten such cycles in 1789 years. Looking at the storming of the Bastille as a turning point, it is interesting that the Sorbonne events happened 178.9 years later. 1610, 179 years before, happens to be when Galileo found the moons of Jupiter. This cycle shows these times happened when Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and nearly Uranus were in the same relative positions.
