TEMPORAL RHYTHMS — Essay

Magic occurs not just in space, but in time. To ignore timing is to ignore one of the deepest correspondence fields.

Cycles and Seasons

Seasons, solstices, equinoxes — these are cosmic tides. A rite done at a seasonal cusp is not the same as the same rite done in the middle of a mundane week.

Planetary Time and Lunar Mansions

Astrology’s timing systems — planetary hours, lunar mansions, nodes — are rhythm grammars. Timing is not scheduling; it is coordination with cosmic current.

Personal Cycles

The body itself has cycles: lunar, circadian, seasonal. Practices that correspond to personal cycles are more coherent than those that ignore them.

Temporal rhythm is the grammar that synchronizes intention with tide.
