Outer Planet Geocentric Transit Tables
Compared to the irregularities in the transits of Saturn-Pluto and Saturn-Uranus during 2000-2020 the Saturn-Neptune transits, shown in the table below, appear to form a pattern.
The first three lines of this table show a 15°-square beginning in January 1998 and lasting until August 1999, with exact squares occurring at 1998-06-25, 1998-11-01 and 1999-04-06. The two planets then dip briefly into an extremely weak 15°-trine (which reaches a minimum of only 14°49' on 1999-09-08), then another square (which reaches a minimum of 6°19 on 2000-02-01).
Saturn and Neptune are then in trine aspect from May 2000 until May 2003, except for the period from August through December 2002. They form an exact trine three times, on 2001-06-25, 2002-01-23 and 2002-04-02.
The two planets are then in opposition from August 2005 through July 2008, except for the period from October 2007 to February 2008. They form an exact opposition three times, on 2006-08-31, 2007-02-28 and 2007-06-25.
Saturn and Neptune are then again in trine aspect from November 2010 until November 2013, except for the period from March through August 2011. They form an exact trine four times, on 2012-01-19, 2012-10-11, 2013-06-11 and 2013-07-19.
A weak square then ensues from December 2013 to April 2014, then a weak trine to September 2014.
The two planets are then in square aspect from October 2014 through February 2017. They form an exact square three times, on 2015-11-26, 2016-06-18 and 2016-09-10.
From November 2017 to January 2021 Saturn and Neptune are in sextile aspect. During this time they form an exact sextile three times, on 2019-01-31, 2019-06-18 and 2019-11-09.
