Recurrence — how often שבתי reads

◆ 17 years between the rare alignments that make שבתי legible — the significant stellar reading, recurring over years→centuries with no fixed cadence. It also reads on ordinary days (117 of 365 days · gap 1–28 d · ~every 3 d).

Required sign(s) / simple(s)	Virgo · י · mother ש
Rare alignments read at	976 of 12505 (maxInSign 5/6/7, across 22,000 yr)
Years	19991 BCE · 19925 BCE · 19914 BCE · 19913 BCE · 19912 BCE · 19912 BCE · 19893 BCE · 19855 BCE … 2105 CE · 2147 CE · 2170 CE · 2193 CE (976 total)
Gap between alignments	0–180 yr · median 17 yr
Nearest to 8 Aug 2026	1987 CE (39 yr ago) · next 2027 CE (in 1 yr)
Ordinary-day cadence	117 of 365 days · gap 1–28 d · ~every 3 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.
