Life Cycles

Saturn returns are when Saturn returns to the place it was when you were born.  Saturn is called the great teacher.  The Saturn return can be challenging if you haven’t learned the lesson Saturn was designed to teach you.  Saturn returns happen around 28 or 29 years old.  Uranus is the planet that brings about unexpected news and shakes things up. Uranus returns are around the age of 40 and this is what people are usually referring to when they say someone is going through a midlife crisis.  This transit can bring about unexpected events.  Chiron returns are usually another tough transit.  This is when Chiron returns to the place it was when you were born.  This usually happens around 49 or 50 years of age.  Chiron is where we have some wound in our life.

Knowing life cycles and returns in advance can be helpful in preparing for these big events and having an awareness is also very helpful.

How to use the chart

An example of how to use the Life Cycles chart is to look at each of the Incarnation Crosses for each of the Cycles.  For example, Betty White’s Uranus Opposition was in the Right Angel Cross of Vessel of Love 3.   When someone has this Incarnation Cross they are designed to be in the right place at the right time and have a love for the physicality of life. They are here to embody love in all facets of life and to find love for themselves. They are an example of love for others.  So during this cycle, she would have had lessons around trusting she was in the right place at the right time.  She would have been learning about loving her body and who she is.  She would have been learning about loving herself just as she is and would have been a shining example of how to love yourself.  I would also recommend looking at each of the Gates that play out. For example in her Uranus opposition, the Sun was in Gate 46, which can be very determined, so she may have been more determined during this time.  You can look at each of the Gates and see how they play out and look deeper into each Return chart to learn more about how that cycle plays out.

Life Cycles and Incarnation Crosses

I have been asked, during a Life Cycle, does your Incarnation Cross change?  No, your Incarnation Cross does not change.  Your Natal Incarnation Cross will always be your life theme and Incarnation Cross.  The Life Cycles are Cycles and the Incarnation Cross will play out during that Cycle of your life only, but your overall theme will always be your Natal Incarnation Cross found on your birth chart.  The Placement of the planets in the cycles will be a constant theme in your life though.  It is helpful to look at your Saturn placement, Chiron placement, and Uranus placement to learn about the themes and lessons those planets are here to teach you.

I experimented with this when I first learned about Human Design and pulled my dog, Bella’s chart, which you can see the the right.  I found it to be incredibly accurate.  She only had one activation in her chart, Human Design Gate 53 and it is activated by Mars.  Human Design Gate 53 often really wants their freedom.  I lost count after my dog ran away the 30th time.  She ran away the first week I got her.  Bella loved her freedom.  She trained me to train her to walk without a leash.  That’s how much she loved her freedom.  She was a Reflector, which is very common in dogs and I was able to easily train her.  She took on a lot of my traits due to the Reflector piece.  It was really fun to experiment with. I would like to invite you to play with it too.
