"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck that which is planted.” Ecclesiastes, Chapter III, verse 1-8 |

The slower-moving planets, too, have their own cycles, all of which can be divided into phases, based on the aspects they make with their own starting positions - the conjunction, waxing square, opposition and waning square. All of the planets can make aspects to themselves, each other, and of course, to the planetary positions in the natal chart of an individual. Given that I don't have your individual charts at my disposal, the next best thing to do is use mundane astrology to look at general, overall trends - that is, the aspects, cycles and phases of the planets as they are found in the sky for everyone, without reference to any particular natal chart. This can yield a surprising amount of information and often helps to explain the general cultural mood or 'zeitgeist' of the human species across the globe, as well as help chart the path of certain worldwide trends which affect us all. My hope is, therefore, that you will find this a useful overall guide that helps you get the insight track on what to do when in the larger, worldly sense. Bernadette Brady has suggested that we have much to gain by returning to a more visual approach to astrology, in which, like the ancients, we consider not only the abstract, hypothetical aspects that planets make to each other, movements not always visible to the naked eye, but also consider the effect of what we can actually see in the night sky, as well as in the world around us. Noticeable changes on earth, such as the seasons, often coincide with the phases of the Sun and Moon. This is because the macrocosm and the microcosm work together as part of a much larger scheme - heaven and earth are connected and we are part of this magical overall pattern.
