Recurrence Cycle [Astro*Index]

The period of time it takes for a conjunction of any two bodies to recur in the same degree of the zodiac. Example: Jupiter conjunct Saturn at SCO05°. Such cycles are associated with long-term historical cycles, such as the rise and fall of empires.

Recurrence Cycle [DeVore]

Periods of time in which a conjunction of any two given planets will recur in approximately the same degree of the zodiac. These are of value, not only in the study of Cycles (q.v.) but as a means of erecting a chart for remote periods for which Ephemerides are unavailable. A fairly accurate list of recurrence cycles, follows:
