This Overview is a brief look at the time and the influence of Cycles. Significant events from each decade are noted along with the position of the Cycles to show how history is moving in Rhythm. Enjoy the walk through history.

top 2000s: The New Reality This Trirhythmic High in the Cycles came into being after and Upward Physical Crossover. in 1999-2000 that put is in a vulnerable period of crisis as we reached an Emotional Peak in 2000. Consequently, we were in a point of over-peculation in an over-bought market when we hit an abrupt Physical crisis and "the bubble burst" in the market. Meanwhile a rising Intellectual Cycle brought us further into space and scientific achievements. The unexpected attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 came from external sources beyond the internal rhythms of the nation producing largest External Aberration in our history. We recovered, due in part to the strong position of our Cycles. We moved on to a Physo-Intellectual Peak in 2006 that coincided with a peak in real estate prices. Following that, we gained momentum in a Trirhythmic 2nd Expansion which produced even more energy and expansion. In 2009-2010 the Emotional Cycle had a Downward Crossover as irate citizens demanded political reform in town hall meetings across the nation.  This began the 'Tea Party' movement that called for reform through most of the following Third Qtr. Reform in the Cycles.

top 2010s: Change & Decline. This decade began while we were still in an Emotional Downward Crossover. An emotional grass roots campaign against government spending was still growing. America was still recovering from recession. Our Cyclic High that was no experiencing a gradual decline with stages. In 2013-2014 during the Physical Downward Crossover we had the Boston Marathon bombing and the city of Detroit filed for bankrupcy. In 2017-2018 amid the Intellectual Downward Crossover the federal government shut down over budget disputes. This was the largest shutdown of government since the shutdown of 1995, which was also an Intellectual Upward Crossover year (Upward Intellectual Crossover of 1995-1996). This is a decade in which we transitioned from our Cyclic High at the turn of the milenium, to a low and declining time that would reach a Cyclic bottom.

top 2020s: Alternative Breaktrhoughs. This decade soon experienced an External Abberation from the COVID-19 virus that broke out in China and swept around the world. This worsened the economic recession that was due happein in the Phyical Trough of 2020. Meanwhile, people are hoping for new directions in the Emotional 4th Qtr. Alternatives. A closely contested presidential race took place as both major parties promised political revision and correction during the Intellectual 3rd Qtr. Review. The Intellectual Low will reach a bottom in 2028. A momentous national crisis is likely to result in 2027-2028 as we have a Physo-Emotional Double Upward Crossover. This will be the fourth Double Crossover in our nation's history. It could result in widespread over reaction with possible acts of violence and public outcry. The industrial sector could suffer a sudden, yet brief recession. In the Crossover, we should be cautious with our responses in foreign relations as we could be agitated and have a propensity to use force. Still, this will usher in a new and exciting era in the 2030s.

top 2030s: Rising Cycles will reach Physical and Emotional Peaks in a High that will be somewhat reminiscent of the "gay '90s" of the 19th century, but in a new time. The Intellectual Cycle will be Low and rising through 4th Qtr. Alternatives and we make a progressive shift in our methods of learning and scientific pursuits.

top 2040s: In this decade we may lay new foundations as the Intellectual Cycle rises toward a Peak in 2050, but both the Physical Cycle and the Emotional Cycle will end their Highs to enter strong period period of reforms in the Physo-Emotional Double 3rd Qtr. Review. In this decade we are likely to find new ways to revise old practices as we shift from survival of the fittest to survival of the wisest.

top 2050s: This should be the new age of reason as we bring education and scientific achievements to fruition during the Intellectual 2nd Qtr. Expansion. Meanwhile will may abandon the past as both the Physical Cycle and the Emotional Cycle will run through most of their 3rd Quarter of Review at this time.

top 2060s: A period of strong industrialism and masculine energy may prevail as we hit a Physical Peak. The rising Emotional Cycle could usher in a period of rising optimism and add hope to action. An Intellectual decline will call for a time of looking back on previous scientific and technical accomplishments...

top 2070s: A romantic era with feminine energy will likely be represented in all forms of artistic expression as we hit an Emotional Peak  at this time.  Industrial reform brought on by a declining Physical Cycle will likely coming during a market decline.  An   will add to an economic slow down and the latter half of the decade should take a departure from the past.  The combined effect Emotional 2nd Qtr. Expansion during a Physo-Intellectual Double 4th Qtr. Alternatives may bring wild expression in non-traditional ways and a generation gap.

top 2080s: America's fifth great internal crisis (after 1901, 1929, 1973 and 2027) will come during the Physo-Intellectual Double Upward Crossover of 2083.  This will very likely disrupt the economy and disturb the banking industry but be will likely recover sufficiently as we rise into new foundations.  A period of romantic nostalgia is also likely to prevail and the Emotional Cycle declines through 3rd Qtr. Review.

top 2090s: The last decade of the century should be strong as both the Physical Cycle and the Intellectual Cycle reach their Peaks producing a strong economy with military readiness.  An Emotional Trough at the beginning of the decade will precede a rise from the Low and period of searching with the advant garde taking some leads.  This will be an era of all things new.
