The Capricorn Controversy:
Valens reports that Capricorn has a different period length than the Aquarius period. His reason was that Capricorn should get 1/4 of the greater years of Cancer being opposite that sign whereas Aquarius being opposite Leo should get 1/4 of greater years of Leo. The alternative was to use the minor years of the planets strictly and not use the major years at all. Valens does say that when dealing with time lords in smaller increments that one should use a time lord procedure more suited to the time scale involved. Applying this logic in reverse, this may be the reason why Valens resorts to the major years when dealing with the larger scale.
