[2] LifeCycles Foundation

As mentioned above, the astrological birth chart provides a map of the internal wiring of your psyche.  However, no one is a prisoner of their internal wiring.  You really can choose to use it in more ways and for more purposes that can be imagined.  What you choose, though, has consequences.  They range from short to long term and can lead to feeling fulfilled or despairing, on the right path or quite lost.  Astrology provides a natural manual for your internal wiring, vastly increasing the range of choices available to you, helping to make choices that are more fulfilling if you so desire.  It is thus a powerful aid to self development and personal growth—which is what LifeCycles is all about.

Your birth chart is therefore a key starting point in a LifeCycles analysis—but it is really only a map of the possibilities for your life.  You might compare it to the genetic DNA that maps your physical body.  Your DNA may give you the potential to be over six foot six (or two meters tall), but if you were consistently malnourished as a child, you probably won’t grow anywhere near that.  This is the old difference between nature and nurture.  And even if you do grow so tall, you may choose to use that characteristic to become a champion basketball player or spend your life complaining about bumping your head in doorways and airplanes.  So, the second key to a LifeCycles analysis is to understand how your environment and personal choices so far have influenced your expression of the possibilities in your birth chart.

Together, your birth chart and how you have lived it so far together form the Foundation.  You cannot change your past life any more than you can change your birth chart.  And, as stated above, the life you have lived so far—both the environment you grew up in and the choices you made—does have consequences that will continue to influence your future to some extent.  But this is the Foundation you have today, and it’s from here that you will build your future.  Here is where personal development has to start.  For these reasons, each LifeCycles Foundation is unique; a personal combination of possibilities presented by the birth chart and a life as it has been lived until now.

So, that’s life, but where do the Cycles come in?
