Axial period of two periods P, Q is period:
[P,Q] = 2/(1/P+1/Q)= 2*P*Q/(Q+P).
We designate axial period with brackets [].
For any periods A,B,C and constant k it holds:
Axial period is period, after which the axis of angle P-S-Q align with its original position; S is the point around which motion of bodies P,Q happens (centre of gravity).
At time of planetary conjunction P-Q, line S-P is aligned with line S-Q.
During time t the first line cover angle t/P (*360°), meanwhile
the second line angle t/Q (*360°).
Axis of these lines to the original line then contains angle:
t/Q+(t/P-t/Q)/2 = t/Q+t/(2P)-t/(2Q) = t *(1/(2P)+1/(2Q)) (*360°).
So, during time [P,Q] axis runs through full angle 360°.
We can imagine axial period (in contrast to synodic period) as an orbital
period; (and we can, as the case may be, compare it with other orbital periods).
Gravity centre of (three) bodies moves (around S) approximately with axial
period.

Configuration of more bodies is axially symmetric, when certain axes are identified into one axis. In case of even number of bodies such situation occurs, when all axes of selected pairs of bodies align. Alignment of two axes can be at angle 0° or 180°, period of alignments is half of synodic period of axes.
Four outer planets of solar system have symmetrical configurations of three types:

Let Lj,Ls,Lu,Ln be longitudes of outer planets. When angle (Ls-Lj)
is equal to angle (Lu-Ln), then axis of bodies S,N aligns with axis
of bodies J,U.
These configurations repeat with mean period:
([J,U],[S,N]) = 35.5948 y,
i.e. period of cca 3 orbital periods of Jupiter (3*11.8620=35.5860).
During period 1500-2050 axes always align (0°, 180°) after Jupiter passing through pericentre or apocentre (usually within 1 year).

Let us assume, the both mentioned hypothetical patterns (solar activity, synchronization with Jupiter) holds.
So,
([J,U],[S,N]) = 3*J,
and ([J,N],[S,U]) = 4*W.
(1/J+1/N)-(1/S+1/U) = 1/(4W),
(1/J+1/U)-(1/S+1/N) = 1/(3J).
(3/J+3/N)-(3/S+3/U) = 3/(4W),
(3/J+3/U)-(3/S+3/N) = 3/(3J).
Then
3/(4W) = 2/J-3/S
W= (3J/8,S/4) = 3/4*14.97834
W= 3/4(J/2,S/3)= 11.23375 y
2W =(3J/4,S/2) = 22.4675 y
4W = (3J/2,S) = 44.9350 y
(W= [J,212.1 y], i.e. approximately [J,B/2], where B is Babylonian period (427 y)).
