well you know - yes, there is something in it... With this explanation I feel kind of more secure. "Oh, it's this crisis again - no worries, it will be over by bday..." Another theory says "52 days". In fact it goes like this: every birthday we are kind of "born again" hence start "new life". 52x3=156 days from birthday - activity, new beginnings, changes, whatever you like. Coincides with childhood - adolescence - early adult life cycle. The next 52x2=104 days: analyzing, making use of what went well and getting rid of what didn't go that well. Mentally, emotionally or physically, whatever is applicable. This is kind of "getting over the hill", "adulthood time" - in terms of one year. And the last 52 days - settling accounts, drawing conclusions from this year experience for the next year to come. (Preparing for the next reincarnation? Not a good time to start things, but very good for filtering them and putting them into retrospective (I didn't really get the difference between No. 2 and No. 3 cycles, maybe No. 3 is even more passive and introspective? Have to ask again). I imagine astrologers should have some idea - it was my astrologer friend who first explained this theory to me. Well... it's some comfort, isn't it?

Thanks!

Since you say "not much to say" - I take it you didn't notice anything special sometime before or around your birthday? Well, maybe this "theory" is relatively personal... it does affect some people and does nothing for the others. Hm... could be...

The theory certainly put the things in place for me, now I have a clearer picture. But even before I heard about it (a long time before!) I already noticed a couple of tendencies:
a) my birthdays begin as a disaster but usually get sorted by lunch;
b) my personal year doesn't start on the 1st of January and end on the 31st of December - not at all, it is August, 18 - August, 17. All big changes (change of a job, of a house, of a partner, of a continent...) happen in September-October. Sometimes November. The official New Year day is just one more reason for having a good time but does buggar all to me in the sense of major things.

But this might be just my own personal thing. Although a few people do agree that they feel "strange" sometime before their birthday...

Cheers, have a nice day!

I agree that March 21st is the beginning of the year; Aries being the 'baby' of the zodiac. What is your birthsign Redflaw?
