CHRONOCRATORS
The chronocrators, the “markers” or “rulers” of time, are the periodic conjunctions of
Jupiter and Saturn that occur every 20 years. Because Jupiter and Saturn were the
slowest-moving planets in the then-known solar system, their conjunction was perceived
by the ancients as particularly significant. These celestial meetings indicated
important events, as well as the beginning and ending of important periods of time.
For example, some have speculated that the Star of Bethlehem was actually a Jupiter-
Saturn conjunction.
Considerable traditional astrological literature exists on chronocrators. This
literature develops, among other things, longer cycles out of the patterns of successive
chronocrators (e.g., the two-century cycle during which chronocrators occur in the
same element) and speculates about the significance of these longer time periods. Few
modern astrologers have more than passing familiarity with this phase of astrology.
CHRONOS
Chronos is an older name for Saturn. Mythologically, Chronos was regarded as the
Greek god equivalent to the Roman god Saturn.
