The Intellectual Cycle

The Intellectual Cycle is the longest of the three major cycles at 33 days duration and influences our judgement, logic, learning ability and to some extent our luck.

During the first half of the cycle (days 1 through 16) our judgement and intuition is significantly emphasised and our ability to take on new projects is enhanced. The brain is far more receptive during this "positive phase" which proves particularly advantageous in scholastic endeavours or situations requiring accurate and influential decision making.

During the second half of the cycle (days 17 through 33) the brain tends to be less receptive. Learning, especially when considering a new topic, may be exhausting and frustrating. This "negative phase" should be used for revision of existing knowledge rather than trying to overload a less than receptive brain with new challenging information.

Caution must be taken on the "critical days" which on the Intellectual Cycle occur on days 1 and 17. These may induce sudden lapses in memory or may cause us to become unexpectedly prone to errors or poor judgement.

Much of the research work into Biorhythm thus far chronicled has been focused on accident prevention, centred on critical days and the conclusions obtained have proved quite startling.

Whilst each of the three individual cycles influence us according to their respective traits, it has been discovered that each of the cycles influences the potential of the other two, thereby creating a balanced outlook for the majority of the time.

Once again though, we can learn from Biorhythm Awareness to take full advantage of the "good times" and alternatively to flow gently with the tide during the "bad times" until we eventually escape its often debilitating embrace.
