As you know by now, I find that what is most sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant for our under\u00adstand\u00ading of these influ\u00adences is formed by two fac\u00adtors, the zodi\u00ada\u00adcal posi\u00adtions of the major out\u00ader plan\u00adets, com\u00adbined with their inter\u00adsect\u00ading series of align\u00adments or aspects, and it this sign\/aspect com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion which shapes and forms the ener\u00adgies and influ\u00adences in any par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar period.<\/p>\n<p>The dance of the plan\u00adets, what we might also call the Pulse of Life, is formed on the deep\u00adest lev\u00adels by Plu\u00adto, Nep\u00adtune, and Uranus because they, both indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly and through their com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions with one anoth\u00ader, cre\u00adate the long wave influ\u00adences that inform and shape the rise and fall of peo\u00adples, cul\u00adtures, and civ\u00adi\u00adliza\u00adtions through\u00adout his\u00adto\u00adry. I will review where we are now as under\u00adstood by this pat\u00adtern\u00admak\u00ading today, but I also want to speak about anoth\u00ader indi\u00adca\u00adtor that some mun\u00addane astrologers use to under\u00adstand the tides of his\u00adto\u00adry over the cen\u00adturies. I believe you may find the Cyclic Index intu\u00aditive\u00adly instruc\u00adtive and help\u00adful in under\u00adstand\u00ading where we have come from and what may lie ahead for us&nbsp;all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plu\u00adto<\/strong><br>\nWe begin, as usu\u00adal, with the Long-Wave plan\u00adets Plu\u00adto, Nep\u00adtune, and Uranus, by look\u00ading at both their indi\u00advid\u00adual posi\u00adtions and by their cycles of rela\u00adtion\u00adship with one anoth\u00ader. Plu\u00adto has begun the tran\u00adsi\u00adtion from the sign of Capri\u00adcorn, (where it has been since 2008), into the sign of Aquar\u00adius where it will remain from 2024 to 2044. If we look at its pre\u00advi\u00adous pas\u00adsage in Aquar\u00adius from 1778\u20131798, we can cer\u00adtain\u00adly note that it was a very event\u00adful time in the world indeed, encom\u00adpass\u00ading in the West\u00adern hemi\u00adsphere both the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan and French Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtions which led to the con\u00adti\u00adnen\u00adtal wide wars of Napoleon Bonaparte.<\/p>\n<p>When we look at the past his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal peri\u00adods of Plu\u00adto in Capri\u00adcorn, it con\u00adsis\u00adtent\u00adly her\u00adalds the time when a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal order for soci\u00adety, (the insti\u00adtu\u00adtions of fam\u00adi\u00adly, com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty, eco\u00adnom\u00adic, and polit\u00adi\u00adcal), begin to fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal\u00adly break down. Why is that? It is because these struc\u00adtures formed to meet human needs were estab\u00adlished in the late 1700\u2019s and 1800\u2019s. This insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal order was made to fit and to meet the needs of that time. But now we and the world have changed so very much that these sys\u00adtems and struc\u00adtures can no longer meet our needs, they are inad\u00ade\u00adquate. Some\u00adtimes it is they, and their prod\u00aducts or ser\u00advices, that have become the very source of some of our prob\u00adlems&nbsp;today.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of Plu\u00adto in Aquar\u00adius, we might hope and believe that our world would move away from the tur\u00adbu\u00adlence of recent mem\u00ado\u00adry and back to a more inte\u00adgra\u00adtive and peace\u00adful time. But if his\u00adto\u00adry is any guide, we are prob\u00ada\u00adbly going to be faced with some very great chal\u00adlenges indeed, just as our ances\u00adtors did in the late 1700\u2019s and ear\u00adly 1800\u2019s. We do not mere\u00adly emerge from a bro\u00adken sys\u00adtem into a ful\u00adly func\u00adtion\u00adal par\u00ada\u00addigm of mean\u00ading and&nbsp;order.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because while it is cer\u00adtain\u00adly hard to main\u00adtain an order\u00adly life as an insti\u00adtu\u00adtion\u00adal order unrav\u00adels, and it is painful and hard to let go of what you knew and count\u00aded on\u2026yes, it is hard to say good\u00adbye. But if you think that the pass\u00ading of an age takes for\u00adti\u00adtude and strength, I think we will find that a greater courage and vision will be need\u00aded to build our New World as Plu\u00adto moves into Aquar\u00adius. It is always hard\u00ader to build than to destroy. But at least we can take com\u00adfort from the truth that we will be mov\u00ading for\u00adward with the hope for a bet\u00adter tomor\u00adrow, and not liv\u00ading with regret for what is lost or escap\u00ading into delu\u00adsions of a world that nev\u00ader&nbsp;was.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nep\u00adtune<\/strong><br>\nMean\u00adwhile, Nep\u00adtune is fin\u00adish\u00ading its jour\u00adney through Pisces, which is from 2011 to 2025\u201326, (with its pre\u00advi\u00adous pas\u00adsages being from 1848\u20131862 and 1685\u20131698, and the one I believe that is very much like our own, because it was also a time with Plu\u00adto in Capri\u00adcorn, and that was 1521\u20131535). With Nep\u00adtune in Pisces, the veil between our worlds and between one anoth\u00ader has become so very per\u00adme\u00adable that we find our\u00adselves in a ver\u00adi\u00adta\u00adble sea of illu\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtions and illu\u00adsions, with visions of the greater com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty of spir\u00adit col\u00adlid\u00ading with divi\u00adsions formed by fears found\u00aded in half-truths and lies. What we will find is that as Nep\u00adtune moves into Aries from 2026 to 2039, we will see a new vision of the world and of our\u00adselves begin to unfold, as we move away from doubts into cer\u00adtain\u00adties, from a sea of con\u00adfu\u00adsion into a call to take up our mis\u00adsion to build the \u201cnew world\u201d. And this will bring a wel\u00adcome relief to many, but it is cer\u00adtain\u00adly not an indi\u00adca\u00adtor of \u201cpeace in our time\u201d. No, the fight over the future will cer\u00adtain\u00adly break the old order and realign peo\u00adples and nations as it has done before, in fact as it did so in the pre\u00advi\u00adous peri\u00adods of 1862\u20131875, dur\u00ading and after our Civ\u00adil War, and from 1698\u20131712, which wit\u00adnessed a Euro\u00adpean Wide War over the Span\u00adish Suc\u00adces\u00adsion, and from 1535\u20131548, with an exis\u00adten\u00adtial strug\u00adgle between the Catholic and Protes\u00adtant orders in Europe, and again it is this peri\u00adod is the one most like our time when Plu\u00adto was in Aquar\u00adius as it will be&nbsp;now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uranus<\/strong><br>\nAnd third\u00adly, we have Uranus mov\u00ading through the sign of Tau\u00adrus now from 2018 to 2026, (with pre\u00advi\u00adous pas\u00adsages being 1935\u20131942 and 1851\u20131859), and it is his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant that each of these Uran\u00adian pas\u00adsages, mod\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded through Tau\u00adrus which is the sign of Val\u00adue, accom\u00adpa\u00adnied major dis\u00adlo\u00adca\u00adtions, dis\u00adrup\u00adtions, and upheavals for the expe\u00adri\u00adence of val\u00adue in each of those peri\u00adods (and I would cer\u00adtain\u00adly think we would all agree in our time&nbsp;too).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cycles of Relationship<\/strong><br>\nWhat is also very instruc\u00adtive and spe\u00adcial about our time, and also sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant in form\u00ading the Cyclic Index Indi\u00adca\u00adtor that we are going to exam\u00adine next, is that we have had all three out\u00ader plan\u00adets form their con\u00adjunc\u00adtions with one anoth\u00ader over the past cen\u00adtu\u00adry. That is all of them began a new cycle of rela\u00adtion\u00adship in the last 130 years or&nbsp;so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neptune\/Pluto<\/strong><br>\nThe most impor\u00adtant mark\u00ader of peri\u00adods rough\u00adly every 500 years is the Neptune\/Pluto cycle. Their last con\u00adjunc\u00adtion took place in 1891\u201392 in Gem\u00adi\u00adni, and it real\u00adly is a bet\u00adter moment to mark the begin\u00adning of the so-called mil\u00adlen\u00adni\u00adum than the year 2000. The pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions were 1398, which also her\u00adald\u00aded the start of Neptune\/Pluto series of con\u00adjunc\u00adtions in Gem\u00adi\u00adni, where\u00adas the pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions were in Tau\u00adrus in 905, 411, then 84 <span class=\"caps\">BCE<\/span>, and the \u201cgreat one\u201d of 578 <span class=\"caps\">BCE<\/span>, which is when all three out\u00ader plan\u00adets formed a grand triple con\u00adjunc\u00adtion in Tau\u00adrus, and as I have not\u00aded before cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00aded to the time of Con\u00adfu\u00adcius, Bud\u00addha, Lao Tzu, Zoroast\u00ader and Pythago\u00adras and many oth\u00aders who \u201csowed the seeds\u201d for the quick\u00aden\u00ading of our civilization.<\/p>\n<p>This is the fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal cyclic rela\u00adtion\u00adship gov\u00adern\u00ading our his\u00adto\u00adry, the root cycle formed by the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Will (Plu\u00adto) and Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love (Nep\u00adtune), or how the uni\u00adver\u00adsal sub\u00adstance-ener\u00adgy which is the Divine Light or Love is shaped by the many hosts of will\u00ading beings in our solar sys\u00adtem, and for us by we humans. Plu\u00adto brings about trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions for the very struc\u00adtur\u00ading of soci\u00adeties and cul\u00adtures, and Nep\u00adtune pro\u00advides the dreams, visions and inspi\u00adra\u00adtions that are inform\u00ading these trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtions of the con\u00adtain\u00aders of real\u00adi\u00adty shaped by&nbsp;Pluto.<\/p>\n<p>Their cycle, like any cycle, will go through var\u00adi\u00adous stages from con\u00adjunc\u00adtion to the next con\u00adjunc\u00adtion, formed by the wax\u00ading semi-square, to the sex\u00adtile (where we have been since the 1950\u2019s) to the square, to the trine and final\u00adly to the oppo\u00adsi\u00adtion and then back again to the next con\u00adjunc\u00adtion. Per\u00adhaps in a lat\u00ader show, we can exam\u00adine this series of aspects for the pre\u00advi\u00adous cycle from 1398 to 1891, and then com\u00adpare it to our own so far, and also fold in the rel\u00ade\u00advant cycle rela\u00adtion\u00adships of the next two&nbsp;pairs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uranus\/Neptune<\/strong><br>\nThe sec\u00adond of the big three cycles begins at the con\u00adjunc\u00adtion of Uranus with Nep\u00adtune, and their cycle is about 170 years. Their last con\u00adjunc\u00adtion was in 1993 in the sign of Capri\u00adcorn. The pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions were 1821 also in Capri\u00adcorn, 1650 in Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius and 1478 in Scor\u00adpio. This is the cycle of rela\u00adtion\u00adship formed by the rela\u00adtion\u00adship between Freer Mind (Uranus) and Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love (Nep\u00adtune), man\u00adi\u00adfest\u00ading cul\u00adtur\u00adal\u00adly and spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly as the inter\u00adweav\u00ading bal\u00adance between Indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty and Com\u00admu\u00adnal\u00adi\u00adty. The com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion of Uranus and Nep\u00adtune reveals the ongo\u00ading dynam\u00adic rela\u00adtion\u00adship between Rea\u00adson and Faith, Sci\u00adence and Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, and one could see their dynam\u00adic dance as form\u00ading what we might call the world\u00adview or par\u00ada\u00addigm (or par\u00ada\u00addigms) of an age. A new par\u00ada\u00addigm of mean\u00ading was formed and guid\u00aded the world start\u00ading in 1821; that one has end\u00aded now and a new one is unfold\u00ading, and it is slow\u00adly reveal\u00ading itself and becom\u00ading more evi\u00addent now that we are 30 years from their last con\u00adjunc\u00adtion in&nbsp;1993.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uranus\/Pluto<\/strong><br>\nAnd then we have the third major cycle which begins at a Uranus\/Pluto con\u00adjunc\u00adtion, and their cycle of rela\u00adtion\u00adship is on aver\u00adage about 125 years. Their most recent con\u00adjunc\u00adtion was in 1965\u201366 in Vir\u00adgo. The pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adjunc\u00adtions were 1850 in Aries, 1710 in Leo and 1598 in Aries. Their com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion forms the rela\u00adtion\u00adship cycle between the Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Will and Freer Mind, and we can see that in his\u00adto\u00adry it forms an indi\u00adca\u00adtor of a rad\u00adi\u00adcal change, at times rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adary or some\u00adtimes reac\u00adtionary, and often both! Where\u00adas the Neptune\/Pluto com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion pro\u00advides the over\u00adall struc\u00adtur\u00ading and restruc\u00adtur\u00ading of a 500-year peri\u00adod, the Uranus\/Pluto com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion cre\u00adates more bursts or breaks in the ener\u00adgy and form of a peo\u00adple or cul\u00adture, whether that is being made by a new idea forc\u00ading its way into an old struc\u00adture to break it apart, or by a reac\u00adtion to new ideas that meets with the Will of the old regime as a coun\u00adter\u00adrev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion with con\u00adser\u00advatism fight\u00ading to restore or main\u00adtain an old&nbsp;order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cyclic Indi\u00adca\u00adtor&nbsp;Index<\/strong><br>\nNow after this review of the three out\u00ader plan\u00adets and where we are now, I want to include this oth\u00ader tech\u00adnique for eval\u00adu\u00adat\u00ading what we might call the bal\u00adance of ener\u00adgies, of expan\u00adsion and con\u00adtrac\u00adtion, of greater inte\u00adgra\u00adtion or dis\u00adin\u00adte\u00adgra\u00adtion as shown by what is called the Cyclic Index Indicator.<\/p>\n<p>What the Cyclic Indi\u00adca\u00adtor reveals is a gen\u00ader\u00adal index of the state of plan\u00ade\u00adtary influ\u00adences, and it is cre\u00adat\u00aded by adding up each planet\u2019s posi\u00adtion rel\u00ada\u00adtive to the oth\u00aders. What we do is add the degree sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00ading each plan\u00adet from anoth\u00ader, 10 degrees, 90 degrees on up to 180 degrees, so that by this method we are get\u00adting a final sum\u00adma\u00adtion num\u00adber that shows how spread apart or close togeth\u00ader the plan\u00adets are from another.<\/p>\n<p>For exam\u00adple, for the out\u00ader\u00admost plan\u00adets, we take Uranus and see how many degrees it is from Nep\u00adtune and note that, and then how many degrees from Plu\u00adto and then add that togeth\u00ader to form one val\u00adue. Then we do the same for the sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion of Nep\u00adtune to Plu\u00adto, and that becomes anoth\u00ader num\u00adber. We add those all togeth\u00ader to get the com\u00adplete Long-Wave Num\u00adber for that moment.<\/p>\n<p>Then we do the same for the three com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtions of Sat\u00adurn with Uranus, Nep\u00adtune, and Plu\u00adto. Final\u00adly, we add Jupiter to the mix by deter\u00admin\u00ading how far it is from Sat\u00adurn, Uranus, Nep\u00adtune, and Plu\u00adto. What we have cre\u00adat\u00aded by all those addi\u00adtions of the sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtions of plan\u00adets to each oth\u00ader is what mun\u00addane astrologers call the Cyclic Index.<\/p>\n<p>What we will find is that in peri\u00adods of time when the over\u00adall spac\u00ading of the plan\u00adets is grow\u00ading, that they are each more spread apart from one anoth\u00ader in the Zodi\u00adac, that those peri\u00adods coin\u00adcide with his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal con\u00addi\u00adtions that are more pos\u00adi\u00adtive, more con\u00adducive to growth, more inte\u00adgrat\u00aded with one anoth\u00ader. And when the spread between all the out\u00ader plan\u00adets is declin\u00ading, we seem to move into his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal peri\u00adods of more dis\u00ador\u00adder, of greater dis\u00adin\u00adte\u00adgra\u00adtion and&nbsp;loss.<\/p>\n<p>Intu\u00aditive\u00adly it makes sense, that when there are more points of con\u00adnec\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty that can inform and bal\u00adance out one anoth\u00ader, a greater poten\u00adtial for the inte\u00adgra\u00adtion of the whole is made pos\u00adsi\u00adble. And when the plan\u00adets \u201cclump\u201d togeth\u00ader, there is a greater imbal\u00adance and low\u00ader lev\u00adel of inte\u00adgra\u00adtion and greater instability.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s exam\u00adine then what it shows for recent his\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal peri\u00adods (and here I will just note the most sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant events in any peri\u00adod), and then let us take a look at our own moment and what the Cyclic Index shows for our future. His\u00adtor\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, the index can reach its low\u00adest lev\u00adels when the plan\u00adets are most con\u00adcen\u00adtrat\u00aded or clos\u00ader togeth\u00ader (and there\u00adfore poten\u00adtial\u00adly more unsta\u00adble), and this will hap\u00adpen when the three out\u00ader plan\u00adets reach their con\u00adjunc\u00adtions with one anoth\u00ader. In fact, with two of those out\u00ader con\u00adjunc\u00adtions occur\u00adring in the 1960\u2019s and the 1990\u2019s for us, this alone can account for how chal\u00adleng\u00ading our time has been. But the plan\u00adets can also be spaced apart for some time, and then the index moves less up or down, and then it will even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly return to a more chal\u00adleng\u00ading peri\u00adod when they move clos\u00ader to one anoth\u00ader pro\u00adduc\u00ading sharp\u00ader swings in the&nbsp;index.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cyclic Index Periods<\/strong><br>\nLook\u00ading at the 20<sup>th<\/sup> cen\u00adtu\u00adry, the Cyclic Index had been climb\u00ading since the 1880\u2019s and 1890\u2019s, but turns down\u00adward from 1901 to 1907, then it ris\u00ades again and then plum\u00admets down\u00adwards from 1913 to 1919, or the First World&nbsp;War.<\/p>\n<p>It turns upwards until the late 1920\u2019s, moves down into 1932 which saw the Great Depres\u00adsion, moves up some\u00adwhat until 1938\u201339, and then plum\u00admets down again, (and far worse than in 1913\u20131919), to reach a bot\u00adtom point in 1944 where it begins to climb again. This is the peri\u00adod of World War&nbsp;<span class=\"caps\">II<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>It turns down again in 1951\u201352, reach\u00ading the bot\u00adtom around 1956. This is the Kore\u00adan War and oth\u00ader Cold War clash\u00ades. It then ris\u00ades from the mid 1950\u2019s until around 1964\u201365, when it turns down again until 1970\u201371. This was the Viet\u00adnam&nbsp;War.<\/p>\n<p>It ris\u00ades up once more, then turns and plum\u00admets quite strong\u00adly from 1976 to 1983. This was the peri\u00adod char\u00adac\u00adter\u00adized by both infla\u00adtion and stag\u00adna\u00adtion in the <span class=\"caps\">US<\/span> econ\u00ado\u00admy, termed Stagfla\u00adtion, prin\u00adci\u00adpal\u00adly cre\u00adat\u00aded in the real world by the unfund\u00aded debts of the Viet\u00adnam war and oth\u00ader polit\u00adi\u00adcal-eco\u00adnom\u00adic struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Then the index rose from 1983 to 1990, then it turned down\u00adward until 1997. Though the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span> and much of the world was ben\u00ade\u00adfit\u00ading in the 1990\u2019s from the end of the Cold War due to the col\u00adlapse of the Sovi\u00adet Union, through\u00adout the world regions were fac\u00ading dis\u00adrup\u00adtion and chaos in such events as the First Gulf War, the wars in the for\u00admer Yugoslavia, the Con\u00adgo Wars, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>The index turned upward around 1997\u201398 and con\u00adtin\u00adued to climb until 2003. This was the begin\u00adning of the War on Ter\u00adror, with the over\u00adthrow of the Tal\u00adiban in Afghanistan and the begin\u00adning of the Iraq&nbsp;War.<\/p>\n<p>The index turned down again in 2003 until 2010. This peri\u00adod saw the Iraq war fuel a rise in Islam\u00adic ter\u00adror dri\u00adven by Sunni\/Shite strug\u00adgles for pow\u00ader, (which would even\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly lead to the rise of <span class=\"caps\">ISIS<\/span>), and the mort\u00adgage debt bub\u00adble burst\u00ading forc\u00ading the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span>, (and the much of the world), into what many have called \u201cthe sec\u00adond great depression\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Index rose from 2010 through 2014, which saw the slow recov\u00adery of the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span> econ\u00ado\u00admy but equal\u00adly the rise of the Tea Par\u00adty move\u00adment and a ris\u00ading bat\u00adtle over the polit\u00adi\u00adcal struc\u00adture in the <span class=\"caps\">USA<\/span> between majori\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan ver\u00adsus minor\u00adi\u00adty con\u00adtrol for the states and fed\u00ader\u00adal gov\u00adern\u00admen\u00adtal structures.<\/p>\n<p>The Index has fall\u00aden from 2014 to, well, to just now in 2023\u201324, as it has slow\u00adly begun to turn upwards at this point. As in the past, the turn\u00ading upward of the index does not appear to be evi\u00addent until a year or more after\u00adwards, (just like when it turns down\u00adwards, it takes time for that to be ful\u00adly appre\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded as&nbsp;well).<\/p>\n<p>The Index will con\u00adtin\u00adue upward from 2024\u201325 until 2030\u201331. Does this mean we can expect that our gen\u00ader\u00adal con\u00addi\u00adtions will improve? Though the Index is one among many fac\u00adtors to con\u00adsid\u00ader, we can at least hope that its gen\u00ader\u00adal indi\u00adca\u00adtion for the tenor of the times may promise an improv\u00ading world con\u00addi\u00adtion over the next many years&nbsp;ahead.<\/p>\n<p>More\u00adover, where\u00adas ear\u00adli\u00ader in the 1800\u2019s and 1900\u2019s there were larg\u00ader swings in the index and deep\u00ader dips, the index is now mov\u00ading into a more con\u00adstrained up and down pat\u00adtern as we move through the rest of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> cen\u00adtu\u00adry. Per\u00adhaps this too promis\u00ades a stronger like\u00adli\u00adhood of inte\u00adgra\u00adtion and bal\u00adance for the future.<\/p>\n<p>But of course, these meth\u00adods of try\u00ading to under\u00adstand our world, as revealed by the indi\u00advid\u00adual plan\u00adets, and by the plan\u00ade\u00adtary pair\u00adings, along with the Cyclic Index, do not and can\u00adnot reveal the con\u00adtent of our lives and the real\u00adi\u00adty we face. That con\u00adtent, our lives, and our world is made by us, and what we cre\u00adate or destroy depends upon how we under\u00adstand and respond to so many influ\u00adences and ener\u00adgy-forms that we are expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading and that we are also cre\u00adat\u00ading&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>If we choose the path of Light and Love, if we choose to under\u00adstand, and for\u00adgive we can move for\u00adward, as we take and make the very best from these avatars of spir\u00adit that hold the sto\u00adry of Cre\u00adation for&nbsp;us.<\/p>\n<p>Let us live and learn to ded\u00adi\u00adcate our lives to do what we came here to do, which is quite sim\u00adply yet pro\u00adfound\u00adly to do one thing, we came to learn how to be a bet\u00adter human, and how to live on this plan\u00adet with under\u00adstand\u00ading and&nbsp;love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Mus\u00adings \u2014 The Pulse of Life and the Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Cycles of Order and Dis\u00ador\u00adder (Octo\u00adber 29,&nbsp;2023) (If you wish to lis\u00adten to the show instead, here is the link on BlogTalk or Apple Pod\u00adcasts) I thought it would be help\u00adful after my last show to pull back once again and take in a larger&nbsp;[\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-astrology"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2fx6K-1hl","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4919"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4924,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions\/4924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrologerbillattride.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
