Exactly one-twelfth of a Great Year. The length of a Platonic month equals 2160.4 years. These figures may be represented as adjusted to the estimated years used to calculate the Precession of Equinoxes, i.e. 26,000 years or 25,729 years, etc. | |||
The term appears to have first been coined by Carl Gustav Jung in Aion where, in footnote 84, he gives us its calculated length: 2,143 years.
