after hours: biorhythms

According to ancient theory our lives run in continuous cycles starting from our date of birth.

The main cycles are:

  • a physical cycle of 23 days,
  • an emotional cycle of 28 days and
  • an intellectual cycle of 33 days.

Each cycle has two phases, an active (high) phase - when the line is above the horizontal axis - and a passive (low) phase - when the line is below the axis. The changeover days - when the line crosses the axis - are regarded as critical as they are times of transition.
