Your years
The chart's own clock,
on the years you lived
Saturn crosses its own birth place on a day that can be calculated, and so does every pinnacle change and every nine-year cycle. Dates are the only part of six traditions you can hold against a life to see whether it matches.
The dates come from your birth moment and the ephemeris. What happened in those years is yours to add, on this device.
What you are looking at
- Saturn's crossings
- Saturn takes about 29 years to circle your chart, and astrologers have written about the three quarter points on the way for two thousand years. These dates come from the ephemeris rather than from the 29-year average, so they are the days it actually stood there. Saturn spends part of each year apparently moving backwards, so it often crosses the same point three times across several months, and the range is given when it does.
- Pinnacles
- Numerology divides a life into four stages whose lengths come from your birth date. You would not have noticed the day a stage turned over, but the boundary is worth looking at in hindsight.
- Nine-year cycles
- Personal years run 1 to 9 and begin again. Only the 1 years are listed, the openings.
- Your own animal
- The Chinese calendar brings your birth animal back every twelve years. Tradition holds that your own animal year is demanding rather than lucky.
