Many people experience this: starting a certain year, everything goes wrong — job changes, relationships shift, moving, illness — as if life suddenly hit restart. This is likely a major cycle transition. Major cycles change every ten years; when two cycles meet, it's like two rivers converging — chaotic currents, eddies, easy to capsize. The transition typically spans one year before to two years after the new cycle begins, the three most volatile years of life.
The transition's essence is "energy field shift." The old cycle's star combination hasn't fully receded while the new one begins acting; two forces interweave, making events numerous, mixed, and uncertain. Transition isn't "bad" but "change" — good change is upgrade, bad change is test, but either way, change itself consumes energy.
When Transitions Happen
Major cycles change every ten years; transition is one year before to two years after the new cycle.
E.g., if your cycle changes at 35, ages 34, 35, 36 are the transition.
Transition isn't necessarily bad — if the new cycle is better, it's "bitter first, sweet later."
If the new cycle has malefics or Hua Ji, be extra careful; sudden changes may occur.
Typical Manifestations
Environmental change — moving, job change, city change, social circle change.
Relationship changes — old friends drift, new friends appear, relationship shifts.
Inner change — questioning life direction; what mattered before suddenly doesn't.
Health issues — body prone to problems during transition as energy reorganizes.
Many things at once — not one by one, but several simultaneously.
How to Handle Transitions
Know in advance — cast your chart to see when cycles change; prepare mentally a year ahead.
Don't make major decisions — judgment is unstable during transition; don't start businesses, marry, divorce, or invest big in these three years.
Stay flexible — change is frequent; don't cling to plans, adapt.
Watch health — regular checkups, don't stay up late, don't overwork.
Learn more — transition suits learning new skills and fields, preparing for the new cycle.
Reading Order
When you see a transition:
- Check the new cycle's palace and stars — determine the next decade's theme.
- Is the new cycle better or worse — better:主动 seek change; worse: focus on preservation.
- Check for malefics/Hua Ji in transition — if so, be extra cautious.
- Which annual year is key — among the three, one is the "turning point."
- Don't fear transition — change is normal; preparedness removes fear.
- Is your recent "bad luck" actually "changing cycles"?
