Only if you have not led a hermitic lifestyle, it is highly likely that you have heard the saying that people change every seven years. And while you may most likely doubt the veracity of this phrase, it contains only the truth. The philosopher Rudolf Steiner, who lived at the beginning of the twentieth century, believed that human life and its development occurs in cycles of seven. In his opinion, these cycles are interconnected with astrology, and with each cycle a person makes a new turn in his life. Although in the modern world people discuss the topic of energy change quite often, this theory is often overlooked. However, if you seriously think about Steiner's theory, you will really understand that people can change the direction of their consciousness with the onset of each new cycle of seven.
First cycle
Obviously, life begins when a person is born. From this moment he enters this world, he is full of energy and awareness. From the moment of birth until the age of seven, a person is in his first cycle. When you reach the age of seven, you begin to understand yourself. It is at this point that you fully transition from infant to child. Whereas during the first cycle you focus exclusively on yourself and feel that life revolves around you, at age seven you begin to transform the definition of ego, becoming interested in the world around you.
Second cycle
When you reach the age of seven, you enter the second cycle of life. With the second cycle comes an interest that can be described as magical. As you leave your self-centered childhood, you enter this cycle and start looking at the world from a completely different angle. It is during this period that you are especially flexible. Because of this, you can make yourself something that you are not, but it will not last long.

Third cycle
At the age of fourteen, puberty begins, boys' voices begin to break, while girls begin their transition into adulthood. During this period, your family ceases to be your key source of information about the world and inspiration, it becomes a huge group of people in comparison with the previous cycle. As this happens, you begin to take into account the thoughts and influences of your classmates, your peers in the yard, as well as society at large and any other group to which you can relate. As you begin to mature, your interest switches to the opposite sex and you start looking for someone to have an intimate relationship with.
Fourth cycle
When you reach the age of 21, you enter the fourth cycle of your life, which brings you completely new experiences and views. While your teenage years are focused on your own growth and your search for love, after twenty you start to set more motivating goals for yourself. As this change takes place, you begin to take on a sense of responsibility and strive to achieve serious goals that are not solely focused on love and sex.
Fifth cycle
The age of 28 marks the beginning of the fifth cycle, and with it you begin to understand that everything does not always go the way you want, and you also do not always get what you want. Also during this period you begin to distinguish between achievable goals and those that seem impossible. Together with this cycle, those years of life come to an end that could be described as carefree. With this loss, you begin to develop a desire to settle down. If you have not been against the idea of constant change in the past, this cycle brings the desire for something more concrete.
Sixth cycle
When this cycle ends, you turn 35. At this age, you begin to understand the many influences that have influenced your decisions, and you also realize that you need to do things based on your own desires. In the past, you may have difficulty understanding the difference between other people's concepts and those that are yours. Now you begin to better understand your essence.
Seventh cycle
Forty-two years mark the beginning of the seventh cycle, and this is a time of true change. It is at this moment that the integration of your “I”, your whole personality begins. Previously, you could ask the world what it can offer you, but now you start to think about what you can offer the world. It is at this point that you start to doubt yourself and your life.
Eighth cycle
The eighth cycle continues the trend of doubts, but at the same time, for various reasons, it can become more negative. You may begin to question what you have accomplished in your life. It is at this stage that you begin to realize that you can let go of the things that stand in your way.
Ninth cycle
When you enter the ninth cycle, your interests also change. Whereas previously you were focused on other people, as well as on the formalities that come with socialization, now you are more focused on the issues of seeking truth and enlightenment. At the age of 63, you begin to return to a more childish state.
Tenth cycle
The last tenth cycle is under the influence of Saturn. If you have been tracing the natural patterns of your seven cycles that govern your life, about nine months before your seventy, you will fully understand that death is imminent and quite possibly quite soon. During this period, you complete the cycle of seven, which brings you back to the point where it all began.
