The seven-year cycle, together with that of the ten-year, is described in detail in "One After Another" which can be downloaded without cost at www.freeconsiderations.com.

I believe because 7 is considered a particular number in all the traditions, it's called climateric year, or sabbatical.

This is the Old Testament, Deuteronomy, 15,1

"At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release"

But there should be something about them in Plato too.

They are traditionally connected with Saturn.

Saturn's , numerological connection is with number 8!
Rather , Uranus, with its inherent changeability vibes well with Number 7...and this seven year itch syndrome..incidentally , Uranus leaves a sign after 7 years...

Well, strange, because planets known to ancients are seven.

Though,I cannot say whether, Saturn's (archetype) co-relation with number 8 is very ancient..but it is very apt and nothing strange about it..it is as compatible as Moon association with Number 2 , type of Personalities

I found this about "climateric" if it can help.
"Dizionario universale delle arti e delle scienze" by Giuseppe Maria Secondo, Napoli, 1748.

"critical year in which according Astrologers something critical to the native will happen in health and dangerous for him. From the Greek word for step.
The first climateric year is the seventh of the human life, the remaining are multipliers of the first, like 21, 49, 56, 63, 84.
The last ones are called great climateric because it is believed that dangers are nearer.
This is a very old opinion. Aulo Gellio says it derives from Chaldeans, who maybe received it from Plato, whose philosophy is based on numbers, who believed a great virtue in the number 7.
Marco Ficinio gives us the source of this opinion: he said there was an year connected to each planet which influenced the body of the native, each one in its place. Now Saturn being the more malefic planet, every 7 year which belongs to it, was the more dangerous, especially the 63 and the 84..."

Also just writing "very apt" in bold does not make it more apt .

How many seconds one would take to answer which number would best represent Saturn's principle of hard work/delays/late success...
I took it for granted that answer would be 8 , in matter of seconds..

However, I am surprised to see your above comment & as a moderator ...

It's very obvious : 8 consists of connected rings (Are you thinking 'Rings = Saturn'?), 7 only has lines.

It's not only easy, but it's fun!

As yet you haven't offered any connection to the number 8

Respected Steven,
Please accept my thanks ;for your above comments are indeed motivating me to go look ,deeper for the connection.I shall search my book "Kabala of Numbers, By Sepharial , I think he might have given some hints...meanwhile kindly do with following links, I find through goggle:

Number 8 ? Saturn is Your Ruler

these dates total to number 8, the number of Saturn

http://brightstarlights.wordpress.com/2 ... -olympics/
((August 8, 2008 8:08 PM Beijing, China

Today, the Olympic games commence in Beijing, China. And thank goodness for the Chinese being bold enough to make a big fuss over having the Opening Ceremony be numerologically-inspired. Obviously over there in China they like the number 8, a lot.

In astrology, the number 8 is associated with the planet Saturn. Saturn is the real no-nonsense school marm of the zodiac. You will get exactly what you deserve, exactly what you have earned, no more, no less= this is the MO of Saturn. But it is all about earning and rewarding and as such it has come to be associated with wealth and prosperity. Certainly those who work very hard, are disciplined, and respect authority will achieve status and material prosperity (right?); this is what Saturn, and China, espouses.

And this is likely the tone we can expect from the Olympics this year. Not only does Saturn play an important role with all of those 8?s in the picture (not only in 8-8-08 but also, 8+8+2+0+0+8= 26=8 ) but also because the chart cast for 8:08 PM, shows Saturn sitting directly in opposition to the ascendant. There is definitely going to be a feeling this year that the ?worthier? of the opponents won, that the hardest working (though maybe not most impressive) should be rewarded and that judging be done meticulously and protocol be followed zealously. No Jupiterian feats of bravado and courage, but rather safe and predictable will rule the day.

The other player numerologically and astrologically is 7 and the planet associated with it, Neptune. First of all 8+8=16=7. Second of all, the rising sign for the games is Pisces, the planet associated with Neptune and 7, making Neptune the ruler of the chart.

...just another innocent bystander here [with apologies to Thomas Merton] with an observation.
...a reminder/informative that 888 is the esoteric/Gnostic number of Christ [not Jesus the man but "The Christ"...as the number for Jesus is 33]
