EMOTIONAL AGGRESSION
Cycle: energy/consolidation/change
Phase: emotional
Phase Type: energy/consolidation/change
Year: ego
Year Type: energy

Astrology: At 36 you're Cancer-Aries and energizing; at 84 you're Scorpio-Aries and consolidating; at 132 you're Pisces-Aries and changing.

At 36 and 84 you start the fourth and final 12-year phase in the 48-year cycle and it's an intensely emotionally aggressive year. You become acutely aware of emotional needs you never realized you had and you become angry because nobody seems able to understand let alone fill the huge emotional pit that your life has become.

You're a raw soul, a bundle of screaming emotions and you desperately need an emotional crutch, someone or something to take away the pain of life, but far from being able to help you over this year other people just add to your miseries and you lash out at them.

You cannot escape noticing a complete change in focus this year. You start feelings things very deeply, so deeply that you may be very afraid that you are losing your mind. In fact, you are losing your mind. You're losing the facile ability to rationalize but in its stead you're gaining the ability to feel. Being aware of your emotional needs involves switching off your brain You cannot think and feel at the same time.

The emotional phase turns up for the first time in your life at 36 for a good reason. You are ready for it. Without emotional development you will not achieve your full potential as a human being. Don't fight it, it will turn up year after year from 36-47 until you get the message; and at 84 the emotional phase returns once more to help us cope with the approaching end of our lives.

At 36 and 84 your emotions dominate your life and grow in intensity with each new situation that presents itself to you. Rather than adopting a rational or non-involved attitude towards some people and situations, you now become emotionally involved in everything around you. People get under your skin. Situations upset you. You lash out angrily at the slightest thing. You might have heightened sensations, too. You feel hotter or colder than usual. Or you become more intuitive, sensing things that younger people have yet to experience. If you do not have supportive people around you, you may feel emotionally alienated - in this world and yet not in this world.

At 36 and 84 your ego is aggressive and self-centred, like a newborn baby's. You want to be loved, you want to be taken care of, you desperately want attention but more often than not others are making demands of you. 36 is a dangerous age to become a parent, and 84 is a dangerous age to deal with an dying partner. If too many emotional demands are made of us at these ages we risk stability -- open histrionics at 36 and bottling things, turning inward at 84.
