In the first post in this series I have laid out the foundation for how Global Cycles are calculated and what they mean. In this post I’ll be getting to the interesting part, expounding about the themes of both the coming global cycle and the one we’re leaving behind.
But before I can talk about these themes I’d like to talk about how these themes are derived. What’s important for me is to actually show that this is not a belief system but something that is purely scientific. That this can be tested by mathematical models, thanks to the Human Design system, because it’s the Human Design system that has revealed these mechanics to humanity.
What I like about the system is that it’s purely mathematical. It takes away the guessing work. If you ask astrologers today about the Age of Aquarius - they know very well to talk about what it means but no one actually knows when it starts. Some believe it has already started, others believe it’s only a couple of centuries away.
And so, what I appreciate about the HDS is that it brings back the science into the esoteric and removes the guessing work and the amorphous vagueness that these systems have garnered, mainly due to “broken telephone syndrome” over the years.
The premise, if there was ever one, is for some of us to have an opportunity to surf with the change rather than be swept by it.
The first thing to recognize is that this all encompassing genetic, I’ Ching zodiac matrix mandala is divided evenly to 8 parts. This division comes from the 8 gates (hexagrams) that are present in the G center (the centered yellow diamond that is positioned in the middle of the bodygraph).
The G center represents the magnetic monopole that exists in every form, both animate and inanimate. This is the center of Gravity, Love or the higher self. All of these names are synonymous. It’s through the G center that we connect to the whole, are driven in our trajectory and held in the illusion of our separateness. It’s the missing link; the conundrum behind black holes and the mystery of the universe.
So the hexagrams found in the G center, if we look where they’re pointed at in the I’ Ching/ genetic matrix wheel, we find that they are spaced exactly in the same interval from one another. In that, they divide the wheel into 8 equal parts. In the I’ Ching language, these parts are called ‘houses’.
That’s the first thing to see.
Our Seasons
The second thing to see is how are these division actually affect us, and how they are expressed in our lives.
When we look at these 8 divisions, basically they are made by two crosses juxtaposed. And if we follow the wheel we see that they divide exactly into where our seasons are and the interregnum in between.
For instance, hexagram 25 is exactly in the position of our vernal equinox, whereas its polar opposite - the position of the 46 hexagram on the wheel - marks the autumnal equinox. 90 degrees from each one of them - hexagrams 10 and 15 - represent the winter and summer solstice respectively.
The interregnum points in between them are where we have our festivals and rituals, no matter what tradition and culture one is from. These festivals are remnants of our ancient traditions and cultures who marked these dates based on observations of the celestial bodies and their movements, reflecting a change in themes and their corresponding effects.
For instance, the beginning of the month of November always marks the entrance to the Quarter of Mutation, which is synonymous with ‘death’ and ‘transformation’ (This is the second half of autumn leading into winter, which death is its thematic). And so, It is no coincidence that early November and late October are markers for festivals such as Halloween in the USA and Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) in Mexico.
On the other side of the wheel, we have early May, which has always marked the entrance to the quarter of 'civilization'. This is the theme of form - building and working towards the construction of forms. This is why we have had holidays like May 1st ( ‘Labor Day’ in socialist societies) which spoke of the value of work. It also coincides with spring.
This is to show that we, ourselves, are mutative creatures. We are always in the thrall of the cycle of life and death. Things are constantly dying within us, as well as birthing.
Relativity in One Cosmological Clock
The third thing to look at is to see that this mandala is relative. It is a cosmological clock. Relative to different types of movements it reveals different time frames and our relationships to them.
For example, in relation to daily transit of the planets at each given moment, one can see which planets ‘activate’ particular hexagrams by their position. In activating these hexagrams - one of the unusual features about the Human Design System is that the moment that we take the calculations of the planets, not only can you find out specifically where they are in this genetic matrix, the I' Ching matrix around the outside, but we can place this information directly into the body.
This makes an enormous difference in the capacity to be able to understand not only our own nature but to be able to understand our relationship with the universe itself and with other people in our lives. Basically the Human Design system is about recognizing that we all are integrating with other people all the time and to see what kind of effect they have on us, what kind of effect they have on our conditioning.

On the other hand, in reference to Global Cycles, the planets have no effect and therefore are not taken into consideration. Only the precession of the equinox. Additionally, different to the direction the planets are moving around the wheel in a counter clockwise fashion, the precession movement moves clockwise.
What we are looking at is a change in each corresponding house. In other words, when we are looking at the movement of the procession of the equinox, these houses actually determine 8 different themes through which humanity is conditioned on a global scale. We can call them ‘locks’.
These themes have poetic names to them. In mundane terms they are about two primary themes: Direction and Nature. Each primary theme has four arms which can be seen as sub themes, such as: Leadership, planning, implementation, as well as how we are directed to bond and interact with one another, how we behave and so on.
The image below can help in visualizing the mechanics.

The Global Cycle We’re Leaving Behind
The most immediate way to understand global cycles is by looking at our past. When we look at our history and observe how certain societies from different epochs conducted themselves; whether they used such and such punishment in committing their criminals, or by looking at their particular customs - the common conclusion is that these are artifacts of the past and the relative progress for that time. But the reality is that these are a byproduct of the themes of the global cycles.
In other words, progress and civility, for the most part, are an illusion.
The current global cycle, which was initiated in 1615 - the most synthetic way for you to be able to understand what we have been going through as a species over the last 400 years is that, basically, what you’re looking at is the fundamental theme has been community, and is all about the expansion of community resources.
The major theme was the bargain. The bargain, as the need to reach an agreement and the need to compromise, was the engine that fed everything underneath. What is essential to understand about the bargain is that it is the thing that makes the principles work. Ultimately, it is the thing that feeds the wealth of the community. Without the bargain, there is no successful building of communities. It is what it takes.
One of the things to understand about all our faiths is that they’re bargain-based. They’re bargain-based: “If you’re good, you will get this, you will get that.” “If you do this, I’ll give you that.” It’s all a bargain. The theme of the bargain underlies everything we know about life in the world of our civilization. Every form of agreement is concretized by a contract. And every contract is a concretization of an emotional principle, which tries to uphold those principles over time.
The moment we began with this cycle was also the moment the profession of lawyers and advocates became abundant. When you underlie everything in which human beings come together by a bargain, is also the moment you need those skills to fulfill these contracts and all their intricacies. It’s an age that has created these contractual infrastructure and therefore, has also been a cycle that has generated endless bureaucracy. It’s very important to see that. The moment we have this huge expansion of population together with the expansion of skills is that the byproduct is the creation of all those jobs that deal with all the multitude aspects of them.
Focus
The current global cycle has been very successful in many ways. It’s been able to organize communities and bring them into focus; to be focused and concentrated on the establishment of community. If you extend community, you get into the nation state; you get into all of the bureaucracies that go with it, and on and on and on and on.
That focus also meant that the infrastructure that’s necessary for the community is also something that was focused on. By the time we get into the 1600’s, we have the beginning of urban architects who are actually able to design cities that have plumbing. You build sewer systems and you begin to take the dirt away from people’s day-to-day lives and you begin to extend their health.
But more than that, the focus through community allowed us to be able to explore in ways we’ve never explored before. It is not a world in which you have a couple of Galileos floating around, or Copernicus’ or whatever the case may be. We have research factories now.
We have huge bureaucratic, industrial research factories. There are more scientists alive today than have ever existed on earth. As a matter of fact, there are more scientists alive today as a population than all the people who lived on earth up until the 19th century. We have a lot of scientists. This is the by- product.
The current global cycle has brought us all of what we could call the benefits of our modern life. It has also brought us all the detriments of it, obviously. But this is the phase we’re in.
Skills
It has also been the era of skills. Four hundred years of the development of skills.
One of the most important things to recognize about us as human beings is that we're not simply driven to construct a pattern that is going to stay fixed. Otherwise, we'd all still be living in yurts. That is not the way we’re designed.
The way we’re designed is that we manipulate matter more and more and with more and more sophistication. The more you manipulate matter, the more mastery you need of matter; again, one of these driving forces of our development as a species is that ultimately we are able to manipulate form to the point of being able to breathe life into it. To be able to recreate life in our own image, which is the ultimate form-mastery. And this quality of form mastery is rooted in the global cycle we’re in.
You can see how successful it has been for us. We have never had more skills available in humanity in our entire history. If you were to look at a list of all the things that a human being skillfully is capable of doing it would take you your whole life to read the list. It is incredible.
It’s like when you enter a large home improvement mega store, - have you ever been in one of those?! You go to the aisle where they sell screws - I mean it’s incredible? Have you ever noticed?! Thousands and thousands of types of screws in different shapes and lengths, widths and matter, for all sorts of things. This is the manifestation of the theme of skills, in the sense of the continued development of patterns.
The same goes for our industries and the jobs that underlie them, the roles, the positions - how many types of doctors we have, being trained for a very fine and limited expertise. All of this is due to this global cycle.
This is the era of the expansion of language and with it, the expansion of the details for the expansion of our Maia (the relativity bubble we co-create).
We have millions of new names that 400 years ago were not even imagined or invented, as we didn’t have forms to be given such labels. For example, the words computer and phone are new words solely a byproduct of the current global cycle. In other words, all of the developments of new skills and the focus to go all the way into the minutiae, has created a “specialty” - a particular skill set that deals with that particular new form. These things are all intertwined.
So the last 400 years was about the potential to come up with so many types of forms, the ability to investigate and go deeper into things and in being able to give them names. We really do not think about these things in this way but this is how we have expanded our Maya exponentially.
![](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F105c71eb-20ed-44a0-8fd2-ee1e87110277_602x339.png)
One of the things that we saw when we entered into the current global cycle was the first time that we had really enormous community projects. I mean enormous infrastructure projects unlike anything we had ever seen, including Rome, and Rome was quite an example itself. We had these enormous universal implementation projects. Communities for the first time were designed.
It was about an understanding of how to identify with the longer vision and the recognition that even though we don't know what's going to happen, we have to start and lay this basis. What we’ve come to see, for example, if you build a community today, most builders will try to build into the infrastructure everything they can imagine that's going to work in the future. So you bring in fiber-optic cable and sophisticated infrastructure and all of the things, you try to take advantage of where you think things are going to lead to.
Organized Flow
The great work of the cycle that we’re in has been this capacity to bring humanity into a very, very organized era. Look at the world we live in. Everything is a schedule—trains, entertainment, you name it, you stand upstairs and it's three minutes after 1 and you're saying, “you're screwing my flow, I'm hungry.” It's all schedules and timing. Everything is; education, transportation, work, all these things. And we’re constantly organizing people into that flow.
This global cycle has been our civilizing cycle. Has anyone wondered how come we managed to pack millions and millions of people into relatively small areas; into compact high rises and multi complex buildings; into public areas, transportation and so on, without anyone killing each other?!
Well, it’s all thanks to this cycle.
For those who really believe that we have become more civilized because we have progressed, I have a cat to sell them. Soon enough they will wake up to see that the killer monkey in us is alive and kicking.
This is all thanks to this global cycle. It had provided the “glue” that maintained the integrity of our communities that in turn became the bedrock of our civilization. The shedding of the communal background frequency will reveal with it a whole other side to human nature that we thought was left behind long ago in our evolutionary development.
Inner Truth
In addition to that we've had this headlong rush towards the truth. And when I say ‘truth! I mean the necessity in us to reach the ultimate answer, to get to the bottom of things and find out what, why, who, when and where.
The amount of knowledge that we’ve accumulated is absolutely incredible. If you could really just see this movement of the expansion of our knowledge relative to the population expansion, relative to the movement over these 400 years, you’d see this magical race towards finding the truth. The exponential movement and all this vast intellectual development, the web as a by-product of all this, this huge movement outwards. We’ve gotten very, very close to closing the door on knowing this and knowing that and knowing this and knowing that, and this is our job.
What we’ve tried to do in this cycle is that we’ve tried to create artificial constructs. We've translated it into a fixed family structure, and then we built all these structures around it to support that structure.
So we have the community, the demands of the community, the organization of the bargain of the community, the development of skills, the bringing of the focus towards the completion of projects for the benefit of the community and the necessity to find the inner truth of things, to find the answers to the mysteries from which we implement into innovation.
The End of Relaxation Times
We're living in a global cycle which has paved the way to relieve the pressure from society by constructing these huge support organizations. That’s the key word here - ‘support’. The theme was ‘work towards the establishment of community in turn of the reward!: The ability to relax and enjoy the fruits of one's labor. That’s part of the bargain inherent.
And what do you think that means when that goes away? The days of relaxation are over. The days of enjoying the fruits of one’s labor are over. That's what's coming to an end. As far as the global cycle we’re in, this is a honeymoon.. This is the end of the line.
Take it at the very simplest level. If you have to hunt every day in order to feed your community, you’re under continual pressure. Then comes agriculture, and you know there’s going to be enough, and you know that there are those that are going to be concerned with that, and you know that there's going to be distribution of that. Then you begin to relax.
When you worry about whether your children are going to be competent to operate in the world, it's nice to have a school that takes them, and then you can relax. This is the cycle of relaxation. That's the bargain. The bargain is, “we’re going to build in all this infrastructure and then we can all relax.”
And everything about the way in which this global cycle works, is that you can’t separate it from the demands of the people to take a break, to relax, to sit back and enjoy. Setting up a work week, having a clear line between weekend and work days, organized vacation days, unions that protect the workers having their rights - that they will not be enslaved by endless amounts of work and so on - all of this is part of the global cycle we’re in. We really take it for granted. We really think this way and it should or will stay like this forever.
Institutionalized Warfare
There is always the other side. Everything is a binary.
You wouldn’t want to live in the time of this global cycle forever. It’s like, “yeah, ok, enough plans, enough bargains.” The reality of this cycle; the building of institutions can also lead to an enormous coldness. It can lead to institutionalized genocide, and it can lead to institutionalized warfare. You have leaders of countries who go to war that have nothing to do with the people’s needs and the people’s desires and the people’s concerns. Institutions take over.
We are in the fading glory of this cycle’s achievement. And that glory, by the way, ended before we got into the 20th century, because the 20th century showed us what the collectivization of the world can do that is so awful. Like Alamogordo and the building of the first atomic bomb and dropping it on Hiroshima. You begin to see that it is quite something, that we can be the devil’s incarnate and we lived that all out.
The Coming Global Cycle
One of the things you really have to see about this cycle —yes it’s been very interesting, thank you very much, and it’s been very nice—but it’s coming to an end. All it has done is given us the opportunity to sit here in this environment and have some answers because that’s what it’s really all about.
This cycle has been very, very important to us because this is the cycle that brings us to the door where we can fulfill our promise. And our promise is to understand. That’s what we’re here for. To get to the truth, to find out how everything works, because it’s the last chance. After 2027, it’s word of mouth. There is no first-hand evidence.
Recognize that it’s coming to an end. We’re not at the beginning of this. We’re not going to the Globe Theater and watching Shakespeare. The next stage is so far away from being communal. That’s so far away from bargains and being concerned about the community, you have no idea. It’s so far away. It’s deeply, deeply, deeply, individual. It’s “me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me,” and nothing else.
That’s a different game. There is no bargain there. None whatsoever; and the breakdown of the institutions that will follow, and the breakdown of the states that will follow and the breakdown of all of these things that have been brought forward through this process, this is the way life works. Things build up and fall down. It’s life. It is how every cycle works.
It’s coming to an end. All of this closes in 2027; closes.
We all live in a world that truly we don’t know. Most people don’t even know how the electricity comes on and why. And their whole lives depend on it and they have no idea. What do you think is going to happen when the lights get turned off? What do you think happens when the intellectual grasp of things is no longer a universal motive? What do you think is going to happen when you call 911 and there wouldn’t be anyone on the other side to answer you call?! It’s very different.
If you really understand global cycles, you know that this cycle carries at the heart of it, true inner knowledge, true truth, the real thing, the cookie. Inner truth will no longer be something that can be found. All these people think that we’re going to get more and more and more and more and more technologically sophisticated as we go along, moment by moment by moment. It isn’t. That door will close in 2027 not to be seen again, not in this form, not on this planet. We’re really closing a door here.
We have no idea how most of the things work. If all of the computer technicians die, what am I going to do with this box? Get out my knife and my scissors? What am I going to do? It’s one of the things about the nature of what this cycle has done to us. It has given us a world where we truly do not understand or control. We don’t know how it all works, and we’re totally dependent on it.
Remember, I give you all these variations of the changes that’s coming, but I’d like to remind you that it’s not something that is coming to us from the outside, but from the inside.
The changes in global cycles change the frequency which changes everything within us: the psychology, the behavior, the direction, the way we choose our leaders and so on. And you can begin to see that through these inner changes we are brought to a position in which we will eliminate each other. It’s very funny. Well, I guess it’s only funny to me.
Imagine a global cycle where the major behavior thematic for humanity is the display of power, as its engine, and sexual dispersion to find meaning, as its temple. You’re talking about freakdom. You're talking about no bargain. You're talking about not knowing where to go, not knowing how to act, not knowing how to behave, not knowing how to be with the other, totally driven by survival mechanisms.
Oh, how we will miss the cycle of relaxation, because the times of relaxation are over. The times where everything was organized for us so we can relax are over. If you need to find resources everyday, you’re under continual pressure. If you need to think how you’re going to defend yourself and your family everyday, you are under continual pressure.
The coming cycle is all about continual pressure, not knowing what to expect, dealing with uncertainties and unexpected shocks all the time. That’s so far removed from relaxation. We can already begin to feel it. The ongoing stress that’s always lurking behind pushing one to be occupied with survival.
The walls are closing on us.
Final Words:
In 2027 we are going to enter into a totally different cycle, for 400 years. A period in which your individual capacity to be able to organize and navigate your life is the one thing that you can rely on and nothing else.
We have a huge change that is coming in the way in which the world operates. And it's one of these things to see that the thing that has supported our humanity so profoundly, the thing that created the UN and UNICEF and all of these worldwide charity organizations, the Red Cross, this organization and that organization are all derivatives of the current global cycle, and they're all going away.
Covid was a huge signpost, and marker towards such movement. Covid has shockingly exposed to us that institutions have been eroding for years under the surface. I mean look at world governments, they all struggle to maintain a face. It’s all a farce.
The way to see that is to understand that this is the background Program; this is the way the Program works. And at the end of this cycle all of the support mechanisms that have been there to support our humanness, to support the possibilities of our humanness, are beginning to deteriorate and over the next few decades will disappear completely, because the background frequency isn't about supporting us anymore. The background frequency is about the giving the next-in-line it's due.
It's why, as an individual, one has to understand they have to take responsibility, they have to claim their own authority because everything around that supports is no longer there to support them. The shining light of being human is not the story any more. It's been the story for a hundred thousand years. It's not the story any more.
My concern in all of this is to make sure that you grasp that the forces of change are so powerful. And regardless of what it's pointed at and regardless of whether or not you want to believe or care to believe that there is such a thing that is coming, please understand that everything that has been predicted about the end of the current global cycle, the deterioration, the collapse of our institutions, the evidence is simply there.
It's something to be aware of because it is really a wake up call. It says that if this is true, then you'd better take care of your own business now. And you'd better take care of your children and you'd better make sure that they understand how to live in this world by themselves, by their own power, by their own awareness so that they can thrive on this plane because it is not going to be warm and fuzzy for them anymore. Not that it's particularly warm and fuzzy on this planet anyway. It's not a warm and fuzzy planet.
Think about it. We think we create the world we're in. That's one of the greatest vanities of all. We don't create the world we're in. We are in a program that manifests this illusion, this world. The moment that you break out of it you see it differently. You do. You don't see it the way others see it.
It's why I love this old woodcut of this guy sticking his head through the sky. It is such a rare thing to stick your head through the sky to see that it is nothing but conditioning, that it's nothing but programming.
Thank you for reading.
I read everything, but I still don't understand how to prepare for the coming age, in practice. can you please explain?
