Harmony of Spheres

Rebbi cites: "They shall fear you with the Sun and in view of the Moon, a generation and generations." The Sun refers to Samech, the middle of the cycle of the Sun. Why is the Moon mentioned? The expression "with the Sun and in view of the Moon" refers to a synchronization between the cycle of the Sun and the cycle of the Moon at the start of the three generations of the Geula: Year 5727 was year Samech in Machzor HaGadol, and also year ט in Machzor HaKatan, the year of the Tikkun of Yesod.

In the current Machzor Gadol, year Samech is in between years ז and ט of Machzor HaKatan. That is, Samech is in between the two candidate years for the Tikkun of Yesod. If we choose it to be, the Tikkun in year ז will strengthen the Tzevaot before the awesome Samech of ס"ו ופלגא.

There is more. The 7-year cycle of the planets and the 12-year cycle of the Mazalot also harmonize with the cycles of the Sun and the Moon. Around our current Machzor, a remarkable symmetry exists which involves all cycles. The last Tikkun of Chesed of the 12-year cycle was in the same year as the last Tikkun of Yesod - in year 5765. That year was also the year of the last Tikkun of Gevura (Din).

The Geula calenda mirrors the special year 5765 in another special year, 5801. In that year, the Tikkunim of Chesed and Yesod will also co-occur, this time just after the Tikkun of Din, which is in year 5800, close to its end. Moreover, the counts of Chochma and Bina converge at this point. Both reach 71, which is the value that underlies the convergence at טצ"ץ, as 499 is seven times 71.3.
