Chapter Twenty-One: Major Cycles
Major Cycles
Major Cycles are a predictive tool, significantly influencing our approach to life and shedding light on our destiny. There are three cycles, each with its own particular theme. The number of your cycle tells of the circumstances, terms and lessons you'll need to meet that will propel you down your path (Life Path Number) and aid you in achieving your destiny (Destiny Number).
Finding Your Major Cycles:
First Major Cycle: A formative cycle that governs approximately the first 28 years of your life. Theme found in the reduced number of the month you were born.
Second Major Cycle: A productive cycle that governs approximately the middle years of your life. Theme found in the reduced number of the day you were born.
Third Major Cycle: A harvest cycle that governs the later years of your life. Theme found in the reduced number of the year you were born.
What Your Major Cycles Reveal About You:
ONE (1) - An Active Cycle: When the 1 is your First Major Cycle, you'll acquire independence and form self-confidence, although you may feel different or lonesome. Stand up for your beliefs. When the 1 is your Second Major Cycle, you'll learn to deal with that loneliness, proving that a solitary person can make a difference through your increased leadership, confidence, or entrepreneurial skills. You'll demonstrate strength, vivacity, and adaptability and may even form a new business. If you have a 1 as a Third Major Cycle Number, you'll be full of pride and assertiveness, discovering new ways of getting things done. You'll cultivate and preserve your independence while working on matters of self-discovery, honesty and virtue.
TWO (2) - A Slow Cycle: With a 2 as your First or Second Major Cycle Number, this is a time of unhurried, patient development, where your innate gifts of gentle suggestion and peacemaking will often be employed. You are discovering how to be part of a team and cooperate with others - partnerships of any kind are important under the 2. Your lessons will revolve around learning how to be tactful and diplomatic with the ability to compromise, while acquiring a precise and unclouded appreciation of how relationships work. Discord and disruption are not tolerated well and so you should seek out beauty and harmonious environments while learning gentleness, harmony, and support. As a Third Major Cycle, the 2 means that cooperation and patience will be the hallmarks of your mature years.
THREE (3) - A Time of Self-Epression and Joyful Living: If a 3 is your First Mahor Cycle Number, you will receive great reward for any talents possessed in the performing arts, especially writing. The emphasis of this time is on creativity and imaginative self-expression, possibly choosing to use your innovative expression to entertain friends and live the party life as a young adult. In the Second and Third Major Cycles, the emphasis is placed on the joy of living and the warmth of being surrounded by many friends. The Second Major Cycle requires focus and discipline to culture the artistic energy filling your life at this time. As the Third Major Cycle, your harvest years will be both rewarding and creative and you'll enjoy the pleasures of life.
FOUR (4) - A Time of Putting Things in Order: For all three cycles, the 4 carries with it a time of hard wok and forming foundations for your life. Practical things of life (work, career, family, buying a home, building a solid community, etc.) will dominate this period of your life. Money matters most now as you try to secure a sound financial future. The Third Major Cycle is a time of economy, discipline, order, and self-motivation, meaning that your harvest years will be both stable and secure.
FIVE (5) - A Freeing Cycle: A 5 Major Cycle means your major lesson is to learn to adapt, change, live with uncertain finances, and explore. Rapid progress and change characterize the 5 Major Cycle in any position, so naturally travel, moving your residence, and changing jobs are all part of this cycle's energy. You'll be free of the burdens of responsibility because it is a time for promoting yourself and seeking new opportunities. You're learning the lessons of freedom, which if managed well, will show you the excitement of life, and if managed poorly, will teach that freedom is a metaphor for recklessness and nothing left to lose.
SIX (6) - A Cycle for Marriage, Family, and Responsibility: A 6 Major Cycle is a time for learning the lesson of codependence - to not subjugate your needs for another's and not go overboard with responsibilities. The matters of commitment, marriage, family, and responsibility all dominate under this Major Cycle. When one is committed and can live with acceptance and respond lovingly, this is the cycle of joyful heart and home. If commitment cannot be made deeply or is broken, separation will be the emphasis of this cycle. This is also a time that accomodates starting a home or family-run business, especially one that is service oriented. Under this cycle new opportunities for self-expression are found too. You're learning the power and problem of responsibility. When the 6 is your Third Major Cycle Number, expect to be surrounded by family, content with your home and garden, and active in community service.
SEVEN (7) - A Cycle for Delving Deeper: When you Major Cycle Number is 7, the emphasis is on study and research, investigation, and/or spiritual seeking. During this period, analysis and contemplative thinking allow your intuitive skills to be enhanced, the inner life to become significant, and wisdom to flourish. Because a geat portion of your energy will be spent in time alone or introspection, relationships will require understanding. Remember to share your knowledge and wisdom with others through counseling, teaching, writing, or conversation. If the 7 is your Third Major Cycle Number, expect spiritual development and a quiet, reserved time of inner analysis and gaining knowledge to be prominent.
EIGHT (8) - A Cycle for Money and Recognition: The 8 Major Cycle is an opportune period for work, career, success, and financial reward, as well as competent management, appropriate planning, and skillful organization as you develop your gift for seeing the broader picture and bravely carrying out that vision. The 8 Major Cycle is dominated by business and career, making it fairly common to gain financial freedom due to a compelling inner push to take the reigns over your work and elevate it to new heights of achievement. You're seen as an authority figure during the later stages of this cycle, and others deem you powerful. If your Third Major Cycle features an 8, you'll know monetary reward with the possibility of inherited money, but you won't really retire, choosing instead to utilize your skills as 'the boss' to the last breath you take!
NINE (9) - A Cycle of Selfless Service and Reward:The 9 Major Cycle is an excellent time to develop compassion and tolerance, a fuller scope of humanity, and a genuine concern for the well-being of your fellow human. You'll have to bring the lessons of all the other numbers to bear upon this humanitarian cycle. Under Major Cycle 9, sacrifice, forgiveness, letting go, and surrender to the mystery of life is important, allowing you to make the connection between human existence and the spiritual energy of all that is. Your intuition will be elevated and personal enrichment will be discovered. The 9 Major Cycle is rewarding for those who live selflessly and altruistically, learning the lessons of giving and loving and completion. This can be an emotional period until you understand that when one door closes, another one opens and learn to let go. Grow toward your ideals of perfection, a widespread view of love, and selfless service, dedicating your work toward the improvement of the world, the unfortunate, and those in need of assistance.
ELEVEN (11) - Master Cycle of Illumination: The 11 Major Cycle represents growth and understanding of higher human ideals, as well as inspiration and self-improvement. Only through deep personal transformation and improvement of self-expression will you be able to bring forth hard-won revelations about how life truly works. The more willing you are to work on yourself, the more good you'll do the larger world. This cycle requires bravery, perserverance, and strength to delve deeply into higher consciousness of universal principle and spiritual interconnectedness. In an 11/2 Major Cycle, you may have to relearn the lessons of the 2. If the energy of the 11 is too intense or demanding, you'll revert to the energy of the 2, where the issues of sensitivity, cooperation, and relationship will overwhelm your days. Above all else, this is a time where you'll have to learn to discover harmony within yourself while learning to lead.
TWENTY-TWO (22) - Master Cycle of Enormous Potential: If you have this Master Number as one of your Major Cycles, it means you will be faced with a time of tremendous potential for establishing lasting monuments, institutions, and/or teachings to benefit others. The 22/4 Major Cycle is financially and spiritually rewarding because you will weave together your understandng of spiritual principles and the material world to build things for society. You're be fulfilling a great human need by using your mastery as a builder, organizer and visionary, leaving a legacy for generations to come in the process.
