The Lights and Planets
Each planet, once it has made one complete circle or
cycle, becomes a part of us, of who we are.
More important, as Grant Lewi points out, is the fact that,
as each planet completes its first round, we are freed
somehow, of that planet—free to begin picking up on
the rhythm and nature of the next (and longer) planet
cycle. In other words, when Mars completes its first orbit
at around two years of age, we are free to start sensing
or monitoring that of the next more outward planet,
Jupiter, and so on. Mars has become a part of our
experience; we cannot, at this point however, grasp the
whole concept of Jupiter, because it has not yet been
revealed to us in its entirety. The first round of this
planet is not yet completed. You get the idea.
