7 Year Cycles: A Key to Forecasting Critical Periods in Your Life

Present 7 Year Cycle and Challenge Period Application

Enter the Name for this Chart:

Enter Date of Birth as MM/DD/YYYY:

Once you enter a birthdate (DOB), dates will populate the charts. The 48 dates around the perimeter of the 7 Year Cycle chart mark the Turning Points (or midpoints) for every Challenge Period you will pass through over the course of your present 7 Year Cycle. As stated above, each 7 Year Cycle starts with the Aries Phase and moves counter-clockwise until it returns to the same point exactly 7 Years later on your birthday. Of these Turning Point dates, the most significant are associated with the Initiation Points and Reorientation Points, whose influence can extend for a period of many weeks before and after the actual date that is clearly noted on the 7 Year Cycle chart.

The Blue Dot MARKING TODAY'S DATE, will show exactly where you are in your present 7 Year Cycle.

A print button will also become visible after you enter your birthdate that will allow you to print both the charts and the interpretation material. Once you click the print button wait for the print preview, and then print as many of the pages as you want. © 2023 application and all material.

Present Challenge Period

The dates that populate the x axis of the Challenge Period wave chart cover 8 weeks of time and 7 Levels or Stages, with the peak being the Turning Point for the period and is one of the dates near the Blue Dot on your 7 Year Cycle chart. The Blue Dot MARKING TODAY'S DATE will show exactly where you are in your present Challenge Period. The 2 week period at the top of the wave of every Challenge Period tends to be the most demanding period for whatever challenges/opportunities may arise. Each of the colored dots is a Challenge day, each of which is 7 days from one another, and will often manifest as more "demanding" in some way. The forecasted days are generally accurate to within a day. ^{Point your cursor at any of the colored dots and you will see the date.}

Interpretation Material for Present Phase and Challenge Period

The Phase description will give you a sense of the broad area of concern during your present 7 Month Phase. The Challenge Period description will give a sense of the process that occurs during the particular Challenge Period you are moving through: Beginning, 1st Quarter, Mid, 4th Quarter. Each of the Challenge Periods represent a kind of Learning Process.

Next Challenge Period

This Section gives you a preview of the forthcoming Challenge Period, which will overlap your present one by about 2-3 days. This can be useful for notating the Challenge Days on your calendar prior to their arrival. Once this Challenge Period begins, it will show as your Present Challenge Period. ^{Point your cursor at any of the colored dots and you will see the date.}

Interpretation Material for Next Challenge Period

This section will give you a description of the next Challenge Period, which may or may not be associated with a new 7 Month Phase, since there are 4 Challenge Periods during any 7 Month Phase.

--------Why the Forecasting Tool Works--------

Arthur Young, a Princeton trained mathematician, philosopher, astrologer, aeronautical engineer, and inventor of the first commercially licensed helicopter, lays out a compelling case that the Astrological Zodiac is an archetypal "geometry of meaning" that "characterizes", through the Zodiac Signs and their relations Sir Isaac Newton's fundamental physical laws that govern all motion and that make up classical physics, pre-anticipates Quantum Physics, and characterizes the fundamental pattern of how humans learn and then are able to apply that learning to manage their environment or circumstances, whether external or internal. The applications on this site carry this further by showing that the Zodiac both forecasts and characterizes time periods in our life and the type of experiences during these periods with great accuracy.
As quoted from his book: "As I have been at pains to show and have obliged my patient reader to witness, the measure formulae—which are the very basis of science—draw their meaning from the same angular relationships, from dispositions about a circle, from the oppositions and complementarities, that thousands of years ago were evident to the ancients. This circle of the zodiac (not constellations, which are quite arbitrary pictorial projections hardly even resembling the stellar configurations to which they refer) is basic. It is at once the cycle of action (or learning), the progression of the seasons, directions in space, the measure formulae. Even more importantly, it is the whole whose various aspects are the signs, the measure formulae, and the seasons." Young, Arthur M.. The Geometry of Meaning (p. 138). Anodos Foundation. Kindle Edition. Courtesy of arthuryoung.com, © Anodos Foundation.
This Astrological Zodiac and it's characterizations of the signs is the foundation of this forecasting tool. Our life "times" are harmonized or "patterned" by the archetypal geometry of meaning inherent in this Astrological Zodiac. The tool is rigorous in it's mathematics and accurate in it's forecasting, which anyone can prove to themselves by clearly observing the patterns in their life related to challenges and opportunities for learning and growth.
Each sign of the Zodiac is associated with a 7 month period in one's life I refer to as Phases. During each 7 month Zodiacal Phase there are four Challenge Periods. Each of the four Challenge Periods are associated with one of the four stages of the Learning Cycle. The Learning Cycle as characterized by Arthur Young in simple terms is associated with four fundamental actions. As an example to quote Arthur Young: "The start of the learning cycle is blind action: the toddler reaches out and touches the hot stove, and then reacts (cries a lot), then he/she considers what has occurred and becomes conscious that hot stoves hurt (if you are a behaviorist you can say he/she associates the pain with the stove), then lastly gains control and he/she avoids the hot stove." This is simplistic but describes the process well.
Each of the Challenge periods during a 7 Month Zodiacal Phase is associated with one of these four fundamental actions in a learning cycle and thus each Challenge Period initiates a process.
Thus the first Challenge Period of a 7 month phase is associated with the Aries sign and it's potentially impulsive and assertive tendencies as actions of the individual or "apparently" external and sudden events that affect the individual.
The second Challenge Period of a 7 month phase is associated with Cancer and a reaction of protectiveness in the unstable environment initiated by the first Challenge Period.
The third Challenge Period is associated with the Libra sign and it's inclination to act to attain some level of balance within the perceived "demands" being made.
The fourth and final Challenge Period is associated with the Capricorn sign related to asserting control and management of the issues that have been observed during the Libra associated Challenge Period. During this final Challenge Period of the 7 month phase there can be a sense that the events initiated at the beginning of the 7 month phase are reaching some level of management or control. The final event is actually the start of the next Challenge Period when the individual has internalized the lesson or growth from the previous period, or if there was no growth at least survived it, which is obviously not the best way to move through life.
So to clarify, the forecasting tool is built upon a 7 Year Cycle which contains twelve 7 Month Phases each characterized by one sign of the Zodiac. Each Phase has 4 Challenge/Opportunity Periods 8 weeks in length and each associated with one of the 4 Stages of the Learning Cycle. There are 8 Challenge Periods that are the most significant over the 7 year period associated with the Initiation Points and Reorientation Points clearly noted on the 7 Year Cycle graphs. The 2 week period at the top of the Challenge Period wave form mark the most critical period, when "events come to a head". Lastly, each Challenge Period has a series of Challenge Days 7 days apart, accurate to within a day, and which forecast greater intensity and absorption of energy and attention in some issue, project, or problem.

The Astrological Zodiac can be used as a 7 Year Life Clock.

The two Applications below will accurately identify periods of Challenge and Opportunity in your present life process or identify significant periods in previous or future periods in your life.
