Saturn double oscillation

Many know about Saturn's rings' 30 year cycle in which they oscillate to and from the same pole every 30 years because of Saturn's parallax as it goes around the Sun.
What most people, and even amateur astronomers are not aware of is that Saturn has a " short " oscillation for every Earth year inside of the " long " Saturn year oscillation which is due to the Earth's own stellar parallax.
