14.0 Life Period Cycle Time Duration Calculations

Using Life Path Number and Three Personal Year Cycles

Each Period Cycle consists of exactly 3 sets of nine-Personal Year cycles (each of which starts with a 1 Personal Year and ends with a 9 Personal Year), plus however many Personal Years are required to reach the first 1 Personal Year of that Period Cycle.

Let us assume the following date of birth:
November 11, 1939

We now find the Life Path Number as follows:

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: November --> 11 (Master Number)
Day : 11 (Master Number)
Year : 1939 --> 1 + 9 + 3 + 9 = 22 (Master Number)

Life Path Number = 11 + 11 + 22 = 44 --> 4 + 4 = 8

If Life Path Number = 1 or 2, $cor = 27
If Life Path Number ≥ 3, $cor = 36 (27 + 9) due to moving ahead an extra nine year cycle to get Personal Year 1

Your First Period Cycle starts at birth, or Age 0.
Your First Period Cycle ends at ($cor - [Life Path Number]) = (36 - 8) = 28.
This means that your Second Period Cycle starts at (28+1) = 29.

Your Second Period Cycle ends at ([First Period Cycle End] + [Three Nine Year Cycles]) = 28 + 27 = 55.
This means that your third period cycle starts at (55+1) = 56
Your Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	28	First
29	55	Second
56	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 28, which is the year (1939+28)= 1967.
The Personal Year for 1967 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1967) = (11 + 11 + 5) = 27 --> 2 + 7 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 55, which is the year (1939+55)= 1994.
The Personal Year for 1994 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1994) = (11 + 11 + 5) = 27 --> 2 + 7 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

We see that the Second Period Cycle starts at age 29, which is the year (1939+29)= 1968.
The Personal Year for 1968 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1968) = (11 + 11 + 6) = 28 --> 2 + 8 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Third Period Cycle starts at age 56, which is the year (1939+56)= 1995.
The Personal Year for 1995 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1995) = (11 + 11 + 6) = 28 --> 2 + 8 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

Using The Revolution of the Moon in the Birth Chart

Everyone’s life is divided into three major cycles. Your birth month, day and year. They have a great deal to do with our life path number. This is when astrology and numerology work together. The change from the first cycle to the second cycle is determined by when the progressed moon in the astrological chart has completed its first revolution to its place in the birth chart. This takes about twenty-eight years to complete. This is fully felt when we move into our personal 1 year.

The timing of a life path period begins at birth and a change in a personal year 1 of an individual. This transition is very gradual. The first period lasts at least for 28 years – the time the moon takes to come back to its original place. At that point of time an individual subject also comes to the age of 28.

At the age of 28, the personal year is calculated again and if then personal year is 1 it means this is the beginning of second life period. If it is a 2 personal year for the subject, the previous year should be considered the beginning of the second life path period. If it is a 3 personal year for the subject, the previous 2nd year should be considered the beginning of the second life path period. But, if the personal year is anything from 4-9, then the subject has to wait for the beginning of next 9 year cycle i.e. for personal year 1.

This same process should be used to determine the third life path period. It should be the personal year before, on or after the 56th birthday. For Personal Year 2, it would be (56-1) and for Personal Year 3, it would be (56-2). For all other Personal years, it would be 56.

Let us assume the following date of birth again:
November 11, 1939

The start of the First Period Cycle is at birth, age 0.

We first approximate the start of the Second Period Cycle by adding 28 to the year of birth:
(1939 + 28) = 1967
Personal Year for 1967 = (11 + 11 +1967) = (11 + 11 + 5) = 27 --> 2 + 7 = 9
We see that the Personal Year is 9 and so we need to wait 1 more year to 1968 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Second Period Cycle is in 1968 or at age (1968-1939)= 29.
The First Period Cycle would thus end at age (29-1)= 28.

We now approximate the start of the Third Period Cycle by adding 56 to the year of birth:
(1939 + 56) = 1995
Personal Year for 1995 = (11 + 11 +1995) = (11 + 11 + 6) = 28 --> 2 + 8 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1
We see that the Personal Year is 1 so 1995 is indeed the start of the Third Period Cycle.
This means that the start of the Third Period Cycle is in 1995 or at age (1995-1939)= 56.
The Second Period Cycle would thus end at age (56-1)= 55.
The Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	28	First
29	55	Second
56	Death	Third

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	28	First
29	55	Second
56	Death	Third

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	30	First
31	57	Second
58	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 30, which is the year (1950+30)= 1980.
The Personal Year for 1980 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1980) = (5 + 4 + 9) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 57, which is the year (1950+57)= 2007.
The Personal Year for 2007 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2007 = (5 + 4 + 9) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

We see that the Second Period Cycle starts at age 31, which is the year (1950+31)= 1981.
The Personal Year for 1981 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1981) = (5 + 4 + 1) = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Third Period Cycle starts at age 58, which is the year (1950+58)= 2008.
The Personal Year for 2008 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2008) = (5 + 4 + 1) = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

Another Example Using The Revolution of the Moon in the Birth Chart

Let us assume the following date of birth again:
May 4, 1950

The start of the First Period Cycle is at birth, age 0.

We first approximate the start of the Second Period Cycle by adding 28 to the year of birth:
(1950 + 28) = 1978
Personal Year for 1978 = (5 + 4 + 1978) = (5 + 4 + 7) = 16 --> 1 + 6 = 7
We see that the Personal Year is 7 and so we need to wait 3 more years to 1981 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Second Period Cycle is in 1981 or at age (1981-1950)= 31.
The First Period Cycle would thus end at age (31-1)= 30.

We now approximate the start of the Third Period Cycle by adding 56 to the year of birth:
(1950 + 56) = 2006
Personal Year for 2006 = (5 + 4 + 2006) = (5 + 4 + 8) = 17 --> 1 + 7 = 8
We see that the Personal Year is 8 so we need to wait 2 more years to 2008 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Third Period Cycle is in 2008 or at age (2008-1950)= 58.
The Second Period Cycle would thus end at age (58-1)= 57.
The Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	30	First
31	57	Second
58	Death	Third

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	30	First
31	57	Second
58	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 30, which is the year (1950+30)= 1980.
The Personal Year for 1980 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1980) = (5 + 4 + 9) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 57, which is the year (1950+57)= 2007.
The Personal Year for 2007 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2007) = (5 + 4 + 9) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

We see that the Second Period Cycle starts at age 31, which is the year (1950+31)= 1981.
The Personal Year for 1981 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1981) = (5 + 4 + 1) = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Third Period Cycle starts at age 58, which is the year (1950+58)= 2008.
The Personal Year for 2008 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2008) = (5 + 4 + 1) = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

How To Handle Life Path Numbers 1 and 2

Example Using The Revolution of the Moon in the Birth Chart

Let us assume the following date of birth:
September 4, 1950

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: September --> 9
Day : 4
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

The start of the First Period Cycle is at birth, age 0.

We first approximate the start of the Second Period Cycle by adding 28 to the year of birth:
(1950 + 28) = 1978
Personal Year for 1978 = (9 + 4 + 1978) = (9 + 4 + 7) = 20 --> 2 + 0 = 2
We see that the Personal Year is 2 and so we need to move back 1 year to 1977 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Second Period Cycle is in 1977 or at age (1977-1950)= 27.
The First Period Cycle would thus end at age (27-1)= 26.

We now approximate the start of the Third Period Cycle by adding (56-1) to the year of birth:
(1950 + 55) = 2005
Personal Year for 2005 = (9 + 4 + 2005) = (9 + 4 + 7) = 20 --> 2 + 0 = 2
We see that the Personal Year is 2 and so we need to move back 1 year to 2004 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Third Period Cycle is in 2004 or at age (2004-1950)= 54.
The Second Period Cycle would thus end at age (54-1)= 53.
The Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	26	First
27	53	Second
54	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 26, which is the year (1950+26)= 1976.
The Personal Year for 1976 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1976) = (9 + 4 + 5) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 53, which is the year (1950+53)= 2003.
The Personal Year for 2003 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2003) = (9 + 4 + 5) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

Another example date:

September 5, 1950

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: September --> 9
Day : 5
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 9 + 5 + 6 = 20 --> 2 + 0 = 2

The start of the First Period Cycle is at birth, age 0.

We first approximate the start of the Second Period Cycle by adding 28 to the year of birth:
(1950 + 28) = 1978
Personal Year for 1978 = (9 + 5 + 1978) = (9 + 5 + 7) = 21 --> 2 + 1 = 3
We see that the Personal Year is 3 and so we need to move back 2 years to 1976 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Second Period Cycle is in 1976 or at age (1976-1950)= 26.
The First Period Cycle would thus end at age (26-1)= 25.

We now approximate the start of the Third Period Cycle by adding (56-2) to the year of birth:
(1950 + 54) = 2004
Personal Year for 2004 = (9 + 5 + 2004) = (9 + 5 + 6) = 20 --> 2 + 0 = 2
We see that the Personal Year is 2 and so we need to move back 1 year to 2003 to get Personal Year 1.
This means that the start of the Third Period Cycle is in 2003 or at age (2003-1950)= 53.
The Second Period Cycle would thus end at age (53-1)= 52.
The Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	25	First
26	52	Second
53	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 25, which is the year (1950+25)= 1975.
The Personal Year for 1975 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1975) = (9 + 5 + 4) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9
The Second Period Cylce starts in 1976 so it would be a Personal year 1.

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 52, which is the year (1950+52)= 2002.
The Personal Year for 2002 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2002) = (9 + 5 + 4) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9
The Third Period Cycle starts in 2003, so it would be a Personal Year 1.

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

Example Using Life Path Number and Personal Year at Birth

Let us assume the following date of birth again:
September 4, 1950

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: September --> 9
Day : 4
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 9 + 4 + 6 = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

With a 1 Life Path number, one's first Personal Year cycle at age 0, is also 1. (Your first Personal Year cycle is always the same as your Life Path number.)

In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes on the year of birth, age 0.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age (0 + 27) 26-27.
(Starting the year at age 26 and turning 27 during the course of that year.)
The First Period Cycle starts at birth, age 0 and ends at age 26.
The Second Period Cycle starts at age 27.

Your Second Period Cycle ends at ([First Period Cycle End] + 27) = 26 + 27 = 53.
This means that your third period cycle starts at (53+1) = 54
Your Third Period Cycle ends at your Death. We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

another example:

Let us assume the following date of birth again:
September 5, 1950

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: September --> 9
Day : 5
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 9 + 5 + 6 = 20 --> 2 + 0 = 2

With a 2 Life Path number, one's first Personal Year cycle at age 0, is also 2. (Your first Personal Year cycle is always the same as your Life Path number.)

In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes on the previous year before birth, age (-1), which is back 1 year.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles, and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age
((-1) + 27) 25-26.
(Starting the year at age 25 and turning 26 during the course of that year.)
The First Period Cycle starts at birth, age 0 and ends at age 25.
The Second Period Cycle starts at age 26.

Your Second Period Cycle ends at ([First Period Cycle End] + 27) = 25 + 27 = 52.
This means that your third period cycle starts at (52+1) = 53
Your Third Period Cycle ends at your Death.

We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	25	First
26	52	Second
53	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 25, which is the year (1950+25)= 1975.
The Personal Year for 1975 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1975) = (9 + 5 + 4) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 52, which is the year (1950+52)= 2002.
The Personal Year for 2002 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2002) = (9 + 5 + 4) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

We see that the Second Period Cycle starts at age 26, which is the year (1950+26)= 1976.
The Personal Year for 1976 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1976) = (9 + 5 + 5) = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Third Period Cycle starts at age 53, which is the year (1950+53)= 2003.
The Personal Year for 2003 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2003) = (9 + 5 + 5) = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

final example:

Let us assume the following date of birth:
September 6, 1950

First we find the numerical values of the Month, Day and Year;
Month: September --> 9
Day : 6
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 9 + 6 + 6 = 21 --> 2 + 1 = 3

With a 3 Life Path number, one's first Personal Year cycle at age 0, is also 3. (Your first Personal Year cycle is always the same as your Life Path number.)

In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes exactly seven years following the year of birth: the year this person turns 7.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age (7 + 27) 33-34.
(Starting the year at age 33 and turning 34 during the course of that year.)

The First Period Cycle starts at birth, age 0 and ends at age 33.
The Second Period Cycle starts at age 34.

Your Second Period Cycle ends at ([First Period Cycle End] + [27]) = 33 + 27 = 60.
This means that your third period cycle starts at (60+1) = 61
Your Third Period Cycle ends at your Death. We can now tabulate the time period for the cycles, which run from birthday to birthday, not January to January.

Age Start	Age End	Period Cycle
0	33	First
34	60	Second
61	Death	Third

We see that the First Period Cycle ends at age 33, which is the year (1950+33)= 1983.
The Personal Year for 1983 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1983) = (9 + 6 + 3) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second Period Cycle ends at age 60, which is the year (1950+60)= 2010.
The Personal Year for 2010 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2010) = (9 + 6 + 3) = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always end on Your Personal Year 9.

We see that the Second Period Cycle starts at age 34, which is the year (1950+34)= 1984.
The Personal Year for 1984 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 1984) = (9 + 6 + 4) = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Third Period Cycle starts at age 61, which is the year (1950+61)= 2011.
The Personal Year for 2011 is ([Birth Month] + [Birth Day] + 2011) = (9 + 6 + 4) = 19 --> 1 + 9 = 10 --> 1 + 0 = 1

We see that the Second and Third Period Cycles always start on Your Personal Year 1.

Calculation Method Summary

All three of the calculation methods give the same answers to the Life Period Cycles End and Start times.

If Using Life Path Number and Three Personal Year Cycles:

You need to know which $cor factor to use.

If the Life Path Number is 1 or 11/2:
then $cor = 27 as you are stepping back 0 or 1 year to get to Personal Year 1.

If the Life Path Number is 3,22/4,5,6,7,8 or 9:
then $cor = 36 as you are going ahead an extra Nine-Year-Cycle to get to Personal Year 1.

Second and Third Period Cycles should both start at Personal Year 1.
Second and Third Period Cycles should both end at Personal Year 9.

If Using The Revolution of the Moon in the Birth Chart

The timing of a life path period begins at birth and a change in a personal year 1 of an individual.
We first try to determine the start of the Second Period Cycle by adding 28 to the year of birth.
Using this modified year of birth, along with the birth month and birth day, we find the Personal Year.
If the Personal Year is 1, it means this is the beginning of the second life period.
If it is a 2 personal year for the subject, the previous year should be considered the beginning of the second life path period.
If it is a 3 personal year for the subject, the previous 2nd year back should be considered the beginning of the second life path period.
But, if the personal year is anything from 4-9, then the subject has to wait for the beginning of next 9 year cycle i.e. for personal year 1.

This same process should be used to determine the third life path period.
It should be the personal year before, on or after the 56th birthday.
For Personal Year 2, it would be (56-1) and for Personal Year 3, it would be (56-2).
For all other Personal years, it would be 56.

Second and Third Period Cycles should both start at Personal Year 1.
Second and Third Period Cycles should both end at Personal Year 9.

If Using Life Path Number and Personal Year at Birth

The Life Path Number determines whether you step back or go ahead to find the start of the Life Period Cycles.
The Life Path Number at birth, is also the Personal Year Number at birth.

If the Life Path Number is 1, then it is Personal Year 1 and no action is required as the age is 0.
In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes exactly 0 years following the year of birth: the year this person was born.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age (0 + 27) 26-27.
(Starting the year at age 26 and turning 27 during the course of that year.)

The end of the First Period Cycle is then 26.
The start of the Second Period Cycle is 27.
The end of the Second Period Cycle is (26+27)= 53
The start of the Third Period Cycle is (53+1)= 54

If the Life Path Number is 2, then it is Personal Year 2. In this case you step back 1 year to get to age (-1) and Personal Year 1, not go ahead.
In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle is found by stepping back (-1) years to get to the year before this person was born.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age ((-1) + 27) 25-26.
(Starting the year at age 25 and turning 26 during the course of that year.)

The end of the First Period Cycle is then 25.
The start of the Second Period Cycle is 26.
The end of the Second Period Cycle is (25+27)= 52
The start of the Third Period Cycle is (52+1)= 53

If the Life Path Number is 3,22/4,5,6,7,8 or 9 then step ahead the required number of years to get to Personal Year 1.
With a 7 Life Path number, one's first Personal Year cycle at age 0, is also 7. (Your first Personal Year cycle is always the same as your Life Path number.)
In this example, the first 1 Personal Year Cycle comes exactly three years following the year of birth: the year this person turns 3.
Add to that three complete nine-year cycles (27 years), and the transition into this individual's Second Period Cycle will be at age (3 + 27) 29-30.
(Starting the year at age 29 and turning 30 during the course of that year.)

The end of the First Period Cycle is then 29.
The start of the Second Period Cycle is 30.
The end of the Second Period Cycle is (29+27)= 56
The start of the Third Period Cycle is (56+1)= 57

Life Period Cycles Age Transitions Chart

Your Period Cycles are based on the date of your birth.
Each Period Cycle lasts approximately twenty-seven years, or three complete epicycles of nine years each.
The exact age you make the transition from one Period Cycle to the next is determined by your Life Path, just like your Life Path is determined by your Period Cycle numbers.

Life Path Number	End of First, Start of Second Period Cycles	End of Second, Start of Third Period Cycles
1	26 - 27	53 - 54
2 and 11	25 - 26	52 - 53
3	33 - 34	60 - 61
4 and 22	32 - 33	59 - 60
5	31 - 33	58 - 59
6	30 - 31	57 - 58
7	29 - 30	56 - 57
8	28 - 29	55 - 56
9	27 - 28	54 - 55

Let us look at the following birth date:
December 26, 1950

Breaking it down numerically:
Month : December --> 12 --> 1 + 2 = 3
Day : 26 --> 2 + 6 = 8
Year : 1950 --> 1 + 9 + 5 + 0 = 15 --> 1 + 5 = 6

Life Path Number = 3 + 8 + 6 = 17 --> 1 + 7 = 8
The Life Path Number will indicate what Transistion Ages to use in the above chart.

Your First Period Cycle is your month of birth reduced to a single-digit or until a Master number is encountered (remember: we don't reduce Master numbers).
In the example of December 26, 1950, the 12 for December is reduced to 3 giving a 3 First Period Cycle.
3 First Period Cycle starts at birth, age 0 and ends at age 28.

Your Second Period Cycle is your day of birth reduced to a single-digit or until a Master number is encountered.
In our example the 26th day computes to a 8 Second Period Cycle.
8 Second Period Cycle starts at age 29 and ends at age 55.

Your Third Period Cycle is your year of birth reduced to a single-digit or until a Master number is encountered.
In our example, 1950 reduces to 6, giving a 6 Third Period Cycle.
6 Third Period Cycle starts at age 56 and ends at your Death.
