Cycle of Life

Planets gracefully traverse their designated orbits, showcasing a cosmic ballet that has been observed throughout human history. The Moon, with its mesmerizing phases, undergoes a cycle of waxing and waning approximately every 29.5 days, offering a rhythmic reminder of celestial time. Meanwhile, the Sun itself exhibits a captivating pattern as it flows through an 11-year sunspot rhythm, a phenomenon that has fascinated astronomers and scientists alike.

These celestial patterns are not merely interesting curiosities; they play a crucial role in guiding rockets into space, ensuring that humanity can explore beyond our earthly bounds. Additionally, these astronomical cycles serve as vital markers for farmers, signaling the changing seasons and helping them determine the best times for planting and harvesting their crops. Together, these celestial phenomena form the scaffolding of predictability upon which we build our daily lives, providing structure and consistency in a world that can often seem chaotic and uncertain.

Astrology traces its origins to the earliest storytellers of the sky—those Babylonian observers who charted the recurring arcs of the Sun, Moon, and wandering planets and wove those motions into what's considered to be the first zodiac. Their insight was never a one-off discovery; it was a recognition of cycles: dawn after dusk, retrograde after direct, return after departure.

Modern science, dazzling and ever-growing, is still a young discipline working to decode those same repeating patterns with instruments, data, and peer review. Yet even after astrology ceded its scientific badge in the 18th century, its library of cyclical wisdom endured, reminding us that a turbulent Mercury retrograde or a weighty Saturn return is not capricious chaos but a predictable turn of an ancient wheel.

Science measures the cycle; astrology names its rhythm. Together they invite us to see every phase—personal or planetary—as part of an ongoing, dependable cadence linking human experience to the wider cosmos.

Your body is written in cycles: dawn to dusk, month to month, decade to decade. Each sunrise the suprachiasmatic nucleus lifts the curtain, and each nightfall it lowers the lights. Women surf a lunar‑length hormonal tide, while men crest and fall on a daily wave of testosterone. A child spends nine months in the hidden ocean of gestation before the birth wave delivers them into daylight.

Spring tilts toward fresh light, coaxing seeds to crack open. Summer rises to blazing noon, every leaf drinking deep. Autumn exhales amber leaves in a slow surrender, and winter folds the land into restorative hush—then the wheel begins again. Overhead, the Moon glides from hidden new to glowing full, then back to shadow, tugging Earth’s oceans into steady, salt‑scented tides. These outer rhythms mirror our inner ones, teaching that growth, culmination, release, and rest are the heartbeat of existence.

Astronomy measures; astrology interprets; biology embodies—and nature illustrates these truths in living color. Each offers a lens on the same eternal cycles. Picture the Moon drawing oceans into ebb and flow, or forests exhaling oxygen by day and inhaling carbon at night. Each rhythm whispers the same reassurance: change is not chaos but cadence.

Let the greening of buds remind you to begin, the harvest moon to gather wisdom, the first frost to pause and reflect. When science pauses at the edge of mystery, let the wild intuition of wind and tide carry the story forward. Science will mature, mapping mysteries we’ve yet to imagine. Until then, let the dialogue between telescope and horoscope spark your curiosity and sharpen your intuition.
