I remember the "bethlehem star" conjunction of jupiter and saturn in 2020. I was making a big deal about it because it was one of the 400 year cycle markers that you can look back over history as a demarcation point between epochs of empires.

The roman empire almost collapsed in the 400 years after the 0AD jupiter/saturn conjunction, and in the last century was the "conversion" of Constantine and the birth of the "Holy Roman Empire" and the catholic church and the council of Nicaea who selected the books that became the modern bible.

I did not know until just now reading Apocalypse that it was also the solstice. Maybe I did, but it's not glued in my memory so much as the fact it was one of the super close conjunctions that only happen every 400 years, which is 10 cycles of conjunction, square, opposition, square, repeat, ie 40 year cycle.

This is a special celestial event which directly connects to the modern notion of decade epochs of social change that gives us "boomer" and "gen x" and "millennial" and all that stuff, and it's also related to another popular notion of the "fourth turning".

Anyway, just more nuggets as I read through The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya. I do remember specifically that I read in several places that this event was the end of an imperial epoch, which the founding of the USA was its debut, but actually it really is marked with the founding of the first international central bank in, Paris, I think it was.

But it being also falling within the orb (3' of arc) of a summer solstice is very unique. Consider, the meaning of it in old, atlantean invented zodiac angles:

Jupiter is Zeus or Atlas, Saturn is aka Chronos and is probably also Satan and similar demonic forms, since this ancient king was a cannibal and child sacrifice guy. At the same time as the sun is opposite, Saturn is overtaken by Jupiter, potentially marking the end of the era dominated by the seed of Chronos, and to resume the path of the remnant of Atlas going forward.

I know this is "woo woo astrology" related but yeah I do recall something to the effect that because of the sheer size of the objects that were in opposite sides in a line with us in the middle, this would have to be one of the most gravitationally active conjunction/opposition alignments in history, literally all 3 of the gas giant and large of our solar system.

We are in for surprises going forward, but for sure, this kind of conjunction is precisely the sort of thing that can rouse clouds of metorites into a change of direction, and that can be a very big deal for us here if it gets close enough to starburst, or impact in large numbers.
