I've finally got finished a bunch of reading and projects and looked up the Grand Mutation. There seems to be some disagreement as to whether it takes place at the end of Capricorn or the beginning of Aquarius, and different astrologers, of course, give different signs for the previous conjunctions and everyone is off by a couple of degrees, &c. &. To muddy the waters, some are referring to the synod. Some start the current cycle in 1802 instead of 1842. Finally understand what the Grand Mutation signifies, and, when I go back over the readings, I can see how the pattern of life, at least in the western civilization, changed with the changing mutations, particularly how the Industrial Revolution really started going in the 1840s, even though there was a continuum of inventions that led up to that, an how material culture became dominant, even though material wealth has always been a feature of every society in history. FWIW, I was born just after the 1961 conjunction, while the two planets were still conjunct in my chart, and with Capricorn rising, which does describe me very well.
