CALCULATING THE PERIOD CYCLES.
One of the easier calculations, the three Period Cycles are based on the month, day, and
year of birth respectively.
The First Period Cycle starts at birth and lasts until the Personal Year cycle closest
to your 29th Birthday. We have not yet discussed the Personal Year cycles, so
just refer to the chart below. The First Period Cycle is your month of birth reduced to
a single digit or a Master number. The months January through September don’t require calculation
– they are already single digits. October is the 10th month and reduces to 1.
November is the 11th month; 11 is a Master number, so we do not reduce it any
further. And December is the 12th month, which reduces to 3.
The Second Period Cycle is based on your day of birth reduced to a single digit or a Master
number.
The Third Period Cycle is based on your year of birth reduced to a single digit or a Master
number.

THE MEANING OF THE PERIOD CYCLE NUMBERS.
Audio Lecture: The Period Cycles. 6 Minutes. (Available only with the CD.)
Like most stories, there are three great divisions of our lives: the First, or opening
period, finds us groping to find our true nature; at the same time, we are trying to cope
with the powerful forces that are present in our environment, our parents and the socio-economic
conditions of our family, for example. The Second Cycle, or middle period of our lives,
brings about the slow emergence of our individual and creative talents. The initial part
of this cycle -- the early and mid 30s -- represents a struggle to find our place in the
world, while the late 30s, 40s, and early 50s, sees us with a greater degree of self-mastery
and influence over the environment. The Third, or final Cycle, can represent a flowering
of our inner being, such that our true nature has finally come to fruition. It is during
this period that one has the greatest degree of self-expression and power.
Your Period Cycles are based on your date of birth. The exact age you make the transition
from one Period Cycle to the next is determined by your Life Path, and is listed in the
chart below. (Remember, the rule is that your second Period Cycle always starts with the
1 Personal Year closest to your 29th Birth Date.)

1 Period Cycle
This a period of much intensity. It requires fortitude, courage, and flexibility. You will
be forced to use every one of your talents in order to achieve your own personal individuality
and independence. This is a period of integration and a focusing on your life's dream. Your
grip on your direction will be tested, but somehow the resources are available to overcome
any obstacle and emerge from this time all the stronger. It is a time requiring independence,
resilience, and strength, but these characteristics become integral part of your personality.
This cycle marks a time of progress.
2 Period Cycle
This is a period of slow and patient development. You are acutely sensitive to your surroundings
and highly intuitive. You possess a gift as a peacemaker and have tremendous power through
gentle persuasion. Cultivate the talents of tact and diplomacy. Cooperate with others. Musical
and other artistic talents come to fruition. Partnerships are important, requiring understanding
and compromise. You need patience and flexibility, but you are under a gentle and benevolent
influence in which others are happy to support you. Seek out beauty and harmonious environments,
spend time in nature, and enjoy the peace of close companionship. This is a period of slow
but steady progress.
3 Period Cycle
A time of heightened self expression and much social support. Any ability you possess in
the arts, especially in writing, acting, or dance, will be brought to new heights and meet
with much reward. You are socially active as never before. You will appear to others as
charming, attractive, even charismatic. Be careful not to waste your energies on too many
superficial projects or relationships, however. The time requires discipline and focus in
order to make the most of the great upward energy that is filling your life.
4 Period Cycle
A time of hard work and all the rewards it can bring. This is a period in which you are
concerned chiefly with the practical things of life: work and career, sound family and a
solid community. You are not given to flights of fancy or idealism, but want to place your
life on sound financial footing. You can be overly concerned with details and thus can find
yourself in ruts that will have to be broken free of. Find work you love and do it to your
heart's content, but do not neglect the rest of your humanity, or that of others close to
you. This is a time requiring discipline, order, and self-motivation. Work is the order
of the day. But through these characteristics, you will be seen as the foundation of your
family, job, and even community.
5 Period Cycle
A period of rapid progress and much change. You are learning the lesson of freedom. You
will travel, move your residence many times, and change jobs. You are footloose. It is a
time when you will be free of the burdens of responsibility. You will have a flair for successfully
promoting yourself. Your abilities with words will be greatly enhanced. You can learn foreign
languages, write, and edit. You will meet many exciting people, visit foreign lands, and
encounter many new ideas. Identify yourself with all that is progressive and farsighted
in your field. Seek change and take hold of new opportunities.
6 Period Cycle
A time of family, responsibility, and duty. The issues of commitment, marriage, and family
all come into sharp focus. When the commitments are made and one responds lovingly and with
acceptance, this is a period of much harmony and support. You are greatly needed by those
around you. You will be loved and appreciated. This is the best cycle for marriage. In the
same way, partnerships go well and much progress is made from joint activities. Conversely,
if commitments are not deeply made or are broken, separation and divorce often occur. Any
artistic talent you possess will surface and new opportunities for self-expression will
present themselves. You are also under very supportive influences for starting a business.
This is a time of progress through flexibility, cooperation, and compromise.
7 Period Cycle
A time to specialize, think deeply, and contemplate the deeper questions of life. Study
a subject you enjoy in depth. You are attracted to the fields of science, technology, philosophy,
and metaphysics. Become an expert in a specific area. You have excellent intuition and a
mind that can penetrate beneath the surface of any subject you commit to. Focus your energies
and thoughts. This is a period of inner development. Meditation, contemplation, and self-reflection
are means of inner enrichment. Develop wisdom. Relationship may seem burdensome at times
because of the desire to spend time alone. There is some resistance to sharing your deeper
feelings with others. The inner life is so compelling that you will want to immerse yourself
in it. Share the knowledge you accumulate by teaching, counseling, or simply talking to
others.
8 Period Cycle
You are under an extremely benevolent period for work, career, and financial reward. The
key is hard work and the willingness to rededicate yourself after setbacks or difficulties.
You will have greatly enhanced abilities as a manager, organizer, and financial planner.
You have a gift for seeing the broad picture and carrying out bold plans. You can gain financial
freedom during this period. Business and career activities go well, but require much attention
and commitment. You are being pushed to take control of your career or enterprise and bring
it to new heights. It is a time when power falls to you, but must be used wisely and with
purpose.
9 Period Cycle
This is a period in which a broad view of humanity and a sincere concern for the well being
of others will be developed. Tolerance, acceptance, and universal love are the goals of
this 9 Cycle, and while such perfection will not be fully achieved, the person under this
influence will grow toward these ideals. Humanitarian principles and social service are
the keys to personal happiness. All work directed toward the improvement of the general
welfare will bring great personal rewards, as well. Hard work directed toward higher ideals
is rewarded. Creative talent is also enhanced, especially when it is joined with some larger
social purpose or message. There is an element of sacrifice or letting go, as one is asked
to forgive past grievances and let go of negative attachments. The person is being asked
to live according to a higher ethical standard, with much spiritual and personal enrichment
as his reward.
11 Period Cycle
A time of spiritual expansion, even illumination. You will grow in understanding and wisdom.
It is not a time to pursue material goals for themselves, but to seek the higher human ideals.
There is a temptation, however, to chase after the infinite without grounding yourself in
the practical. That must be avoided. Focus your studies and deepen your understanding to
the point that your knowledge can be conveyed to others in simple and acceptable terms.
You possess a message or an ability that should be shared with your community, but only
through deep personal transformation and improvement of self-expression can this gift be
given. The more willing you are to work on yourself, the more good you will do for the world
at large. For those who accept and embrace this path, there is much reward, including ample
financial support and even fame. There is also the deeper satisfaction of knowing that one
has made a contribution to the advancement of others.
22 Period Cycle
A time of enormous potential for establishing some lasting institution or teaching that
will greatly benefit others. You have the ability to perceive something in the archetypal
world and make it manifest in the earth. Your abilities as a builder, organizer, and visionary
are at a peak. You are able to perceive a deep need in people and to create a constructive
and practical plan to fulfill that need. You will be forced to commit yourself entirely
to the work at hand. For many, this dream will last a lifetime and require every ounce of
energy and every bit of talent. It is an all-consuming role that beckons, but one that will
provide the greatest sense of personal accomplishment and reward. You are able to make a
lasting contribution to the well-being of humanity.
