The write-ups in this Cycle System are not predictions,
nor are they intended to advise you on decision-making.
Instead, they are explanations of how you can expect the
energy of each planetary cycle to affect the way you
think and feel on a given day and descriptions of the sorts of events which may
take place. The write-ups suggest ways to deal with these energies, but what
you do is entirely up to you. Astrology makes your choices clearer, it does not
make them for you.
Making predictions implies that people are incapable of
learning and changing, that their efforts to improve themselves
and their situations are powerless to alter a fate
ordained, symbolized by the positions of certain planets.
Predictions may also imply that once a choice has been
made, we are unable to change the course of our destiny
by making another decision, or that the planets pull and
push us in any direction and allow no further alterations.
Nothing could be further from the truth
If you don't like the situation you find yourself in ... choose again.
This is a Free Will zone, so we can allow ourselves to use our Free Will.
There are only two root energies
Fear ... distorts our vision
and leads to anger,
then violence
Love ... leads to clarity of vision
It is also true that, we are in control of a small percentage of what happens to us. Other people and our total
environment have a tremendous effect upon our individual
lives. The real choice though is in our attitude and mental
thinking. The more we apply the truths of the universal
laws, the better we fair through any situation regardless
of it's outcome. We have inner peace, contentment and
serenity. Remember, pure LOVE conquers all negativity
and melts all coldness.
It will take time and thought on your part, to determine
just how much effect certain cycles have on you. The
write-ups only describe the cycles themselves, not how they relate to or are
affected by other cycles which may be going on at the same time. Nor do they
take into account the aspects of your natal chart which could influence the way
in which you experience the cycle. You will come to know yourself much better
if you make careful observations of the cycles, and how they affect you from day
to day.
Much depends on the individual when we try to determine how someone will
be effected by the cycles. Each person starts out with his own unique cosmic
pattern etched into his spirit. Living and learning gradually erode away the
rough edges which make us susceptible to the inner
storms caused by fluctuating energy patterns during
the cycles. Thus a highly developed person will
scarcely be aware of the negativity within the cycles
at all, as it will cease to have much effect on him.
Paramahansa Yogananda once challenged any astrologer to determine the most
difficult times for him to accomplish certain tasks. The astrologers did so
and the great yogi, because he had achieved such a high degree of serenity
and detachment, reached every goal set for him during the least favorable
cycles for doing so. He admitted that the tasks had not been as easy for him as
they would have been at other times, but he succeeded in proving that the stars
do not have a complete control over our fate; they only persuade and push.
Cycles don't determine what is going to happen in
your life; they only propel you towards possibilities. Consciousness and
Awareness gives you the choice as to what
can actually happen. You can exert more control over your destiny and life if
you increase your awareness and consciousness.
Again the write-ups are not predicting the future.
They describe future
possibilities and probabilities, depending on the type and strength of the
particular cycle. Furthermore, you always have a choice in the outcome of any
situation. For instance, if a write-up for a certain cycle informs you that there
is a possibility that your marriage or other close relationship will break up, you
should not assume that divorce is inevitable. The write-up is only telling you
that this is a time when your marriage will undergo stress; so much stress that
if the relationship was barely hanging together before the cycle, it may not be
able to withstand this crisis unless superhuman energy is applied. An enduring,
healthy relationship however, will make it through the cycle, and perhaps end
up even stronger as a result of the testing and cooperative changes made.
You have to control your own life to be a Master over your own condition and
your own body. You don't want anyone controlling you and you must not control
others. When you tune into the energy cycles occurring in your life at any given
time, you'll know several things. You'll know
when the energy is around, have a good idea
as to the type of energy, how it can manifest,
and therefore its potential. You
will also know what you want
and don't want in life, to a
greater or lesser degree as the
case may be. You may also
know in what area of your life
this energy is likely to manifest.
These are the ways that this
Cycle System can help you increase
control over your own life. The
cycles and their timings
increase your awareness of
what might happen and
increase your insight in order
to continue along the pathway
of your choice, in a positive
and creative manner. You can also choose a negative pathway and pursue power over others
at their expense. If you
choose total control over yourself, you must
also accept total responsibility; they go hand in hand. The foreknowledge
obtained from this package can help you take more control with positive and concrete decisions. The direction is your own choice. There are only two roads to choose from ... Love or Fear
We all have and create our own problems in life. Let us imagine that you
are experiencing a difficult Saturn cycle like Saturn Conjunct Sun. Because
Saturn restricts and restrains, you will experience frustration, depression,
narrow mindedness, corruption and hardship at
every turn on the job. You have a choice! You
can either get angry, and let your work habits
keep slipping, with the end result of having
authority fire you, justifiably. Or you can also
take the opportunity to increase and practice
disciplines of patience, stability, humility, calmness,
sacrifice, self-control, purification and
reliability while working through the problems of
adverse work conditions, during the cycle. Thus,
you don't get fired and gain greater honour and
respect as an end result. This will give you a
better work record, enormously increasing your
potential of a better job with a higher income,
than if you allow the negative emotions to rule
your life. If you do end up getting fired anyway, you will have gained strength
and self worth within yourself. You can then walk away knowing that you did
your best. If you don't make any mistakes, you won't have any regrets. Pain is
unavoidable but suffering is.
After all, you can walk away from any situation that you don't like, leaving
it totally behind you. But you have to take yourself...where ever you may go.
