This is a follow-up to our earlier post: Jupiter, Earth and Venus’ tropical alignments point to the mean solar cycle length.

That featured graphics from the solar simulator showing triple conjunctions of Jupiter, Earth and Venus at 996-year intervals (see here). A link to 90 solar cycles in the period was proposed, as per these comments:
“Everything points to a clocked process,” Frank Stefani, a researcher at HZDR and lead author of the new study, said in a statement. “What we see is complete parallelism with the planets over the course of 90 cycles.”

The commentary in that post applies equally to the new graphic below, but this time the Venus-Earth conjunction is opposite to Jupiter in years 444, 1440 and 2436 (996 years apart). So this is another example of the same process.

Note the same orientation of the three planets on each date [click on image to enlarge it].

Ian Wilson looked at the basics of this topic for the Talkshop here. Various comments in the discussion that followed are worth a read too.

Ian Wilson wrote in his PRP paper – The Venus–Earth–Jupiter spin–orbit coupling model (in Section 4.1):
It is important to note that the 22.38 yr VEJ tidal-torquing cycle is used here in the synodic product rather than the 22.14 yr cycle, since the gear effect interacts with the VEJ tidal torquing mechanism via the VE alignments. This means that the interaction will take place at the 22.38 yr VE alignment repetition cycle. It also means that the 22.38 yr interaction cycle will slowly drift out of phase with the 22.14 yr torque application cycle, requiring some form of re-synchronization between these two cycles on longer term timescales [bold added].

The re-synchronization cycle is completed on a 996-year cycle according to the simulator, assuming every 14 Jupiter orbits = 15 mean solar cycles in 166 tropical years (averaged over longer time scales). The period has to extend to 6*166 TY = 996 because the number of V-E alignments is 7*89 in 90 (6*15) solar cycles, and 90-89 = 1 cycle.
