Understanding the Planetary Cycle
The stars (particularly the slower planets, from Jupiter to Pluto), in their course, and in particular in their mutual encounters (conjunctions), define conditions of a “meteorological” or “climatic” nature that make it possible to better understand the challenges. offered to our Humanity, in the perspective of its awakening to a greater awareness of the very foundations of life on this Earth. In any case, these astral positions can not induce events, on the other hand, the mental/emotional climate which they illustrate can result in events.
Regardless of the detail of historical events, what strikes me as essential is to understand the meaning of the History that underlies each cycle.
What is interesting, but which goes beyond the framework of this study, is to follow the evolution of each inter-cycle. In analogy with the lunation which begins with the New Moon (conjunction Sun / Moon), each inter-cycle passes through the first quarter which results in a crisis in action, to then reach the opposition of the planets concerned (Full Moon), which marks a turning point in the objectives set up since the conjunction and to finish with the last district which takes stock of the past inter-cycle and prepares the next one.
It is interesting to note that, at certain moments in its history, humanity as a whole has tended to go in the opposite direction to the state of mind proposed by the great inter-cycles of the moment …
On a personal level, it can be interesting for a human being born at the beginning of a great inter-cycle to be inspired by the atmosphere illustrated by the hexagram of Yi Jing which is correlated to him …
- For the association of the degrees of the zodiac with the hexagrams of Yi Jing, I used the version proposed by Human Design System.
