Recurrence — how often ביתשאן reads

◆ 159 years between the rare alignments that make ביתשאן legible — the significant stellar reading, recurring over years→centuries with no fixed cadence. It also reads on ordinary days (55 of 365 days · gap 1–204 d · ~every 7 d).

Required sign(s) / simple(s)	Virgo / Scorpio · י נ · mother ש א
Rare alignments read at	88 of 12505 (maxInSign 5/6/7, across 22,000 yr)
Years	19735 BCE · 18906 BCE · 18906 BCE · 18846 BCE · 18803 BCE · 18643 BCE · 18601 BCE · 18205 BCE … 879 CE · 1719 CE · 1950 CE · 2170 CE (88 total)
Gap between alignments	0–854 yr · median 159 yr
Nearest to 8 Aug 2026	1950 CE (76 yr ago) · next 2170 CE (in 144 yr)
Ordinary-day cadence	55 of 365 days · gap 1–204 d · ~every 7 d

The alignment gap is the rare, significant reading — the stellar-recurrence "frequency constant": a one-simple word reads at most alignments (short gap, e.g. every few years); a multi-simple word reads only when all its signs coincide (long gap). The ordinary-day cadence is the noise floor every word also sits on (when any planet transits its sign). Planet periods are stable, so the everyday cadence is the same in any year.
