..At the time of Earth's perihelion, the Sun marks the location of the center-line (the Line of Apsides). With this placement, the Window moves in and out of convergence with the Tropical signs at the rate of one degree in 58.1 years; the motion is Direct, since it's Progression of the Perihelion. The next convergence will be with Tropical Capricorn, so the next Age up is that of Tropical Aquarius, in 2149. We can be certain of the year because we're certain of the location of the Tropical signs. Siderealy, there are various opinions as to where the signs actually are, and even a relatively small difference in sign -placement causes a large difference in when the Ages begin and end. The approach of the Tropical. Aquarian. Age is far more significant than the Sidereal. This is because Direct motion means there are Seasons of Ages. The three signs of a season work together: First the Seasonal Theme is introduced at the end of a Cardinal sign's Age through innovation and invention; then, it's intensified and expanded upon at the very beginning of the Fixed sign's; and, finally, variation on the theme occurs during the Age of the Mutable sign, especially in the middle decant.
