Cycles of Life Experiences
The Cycles of Life Experiences represent the phases of our life that that we go through. These life experiences include Relationships, Self-Development, Finances and Health. We all go through these cycles and usually find that one of these areas we learn the most from and feel the most connected to. Sometimes we may feel like what we are doing is not what we really want to do. It is not our passion. We first experience relationships with father, mother, brother, sister, etc. and then begin to learn and cultivate our create juices. Then we begin a career, find a hobby, or a passion in life. We learn balance and harmony and reap the harvest of our work. Once we have accomplished something we transition from one phase into another. We may start with new relationships, new hobbies, new career or new spiritual interests.
We often tend to focus on one of these areas of life where we have the greatest ability to learn. Astrology, tarot reading and even playing cards reflect on these four Cycles of Life Experiences. Below is a chart that shows the similarities between these four groups.

Going with the Flow
Another subtlety to energy is that it operates in a cyclic manner. From a sinusoidal wave form to the planetary movement to our human bodies everything operates in a cycle. There is the gestation stage, then learning, then reaping and finally completion. There isn’t anything that doesn’t go through a cycle.
Think of the seasons we go through, our life revolves around these cycles. We plan vacations, do our planting and harvesting and create activities around these time periods. In this process, we are flowing with the cycle. The problem is in staying in that cycle. It’s like having a sail boat that is gliding out on the seas. It is constantly in and out of balance and direction. Once out of balance, we move back into balance. It should be noted that being unbalanced should not be thought of as divisive but as normal process of life. If there was no wind, no waves, there would be no movement. We would not be able to move forward. Similarly like driving a car if we let our hands off the steering wheel the car eventually goes off into one direction or another and then we make an adjustment to bring it back to center. Life is full of adjustments. However, we can attune to this subtle energy and bring ourselves back into balance..
When negative energies encompass our conscious thinking our vibratory energies slow down, become dense. We become a source of irritation to others like screeching brakes or finger nails on a chalkboard.
If we do not know where we want to go in life how can we expect the universe to respond to this unknowing. It is not necessarily a wrong notion to not know and ask for divine guidance and direction but it is another story when we are clueless and we don’t ask and we flow in a direction that is comfortable, unchanging and meaningless. Then when things get out of hand and things appear in our life that causes pain, hardship and difficulty, God is the first one to be blamed. God should know what we want.
