A few words of warning are in order about the above table, though. The Saturn LifeCycles are not the only ones going on in your life. A number of other key cycles are active during phases and ages that are pointed to; it is often difficult to clearly distinguish these overlapping cycles. Also, as we go through life, we accumulate more and more experiences whose consequences live on. The later cycles are therefore considerably less “pure” in their expression than the first one and the life stages beyond midlife mentioned above must be interpreted very loosely indeed.
