The Unfashionable Biorhythm

According to believers in biorhythms, a person's life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles which affect one's ability in various domains, such as mental, physical, and emotional activity. These cycles begin at birth and oscillate in a steady sine wave fashion throughout life; thus, by modeling them mathematically, a person's level of ability in each of these domains can be predicted from day to day.

Biorhythm charts illustrate the principle that we are influenced by physical, emotional, and intellectual cycles.  Most biorhythm models use three cycles: a 23-day "physical" cycle, a 28-day "emotional" cycle, and a 33-day "intellectual" cycle. The 23- and 28-day rhythms used by biorhythmists were first devised in the late 19th century by William Fliess, a Berlin physician and patient of Sigmund Freud. Fliess believed that he observed regularities at 23- and 28-day intervals in a number of phenomena, including births and deaths. He labeled the 23-day rhythm "male" and the 28-day rhythm "female," matching the menstrual cycle.


Biorhythms were quite fashionable in the early eighties with stars like Cliff Richard ordering his calendar around his highs and lows. Many people report that they can improve the quality of their lives by monitoring the highs and lows of these cycles and acting accordingly. For example, you might try to schedule important exams during your intellectual highs, avoid talking to your significant other during your emotional lows, or arranging the lineup of a sport team around their physical highs.


So, having given you that basic info, here are my readings for the day : Not a particularly inspiring result and it doesn't bode well for classes tomorrow with the only positive being the emotional. And if you look at the chart above, October is not going to be a great month either.  I've never come across the secondary rhythms before but one does wonder about the validity and authenticity of both site and method when they include star signs along with the "scientific" data. Perhaps there is a reason why this method of divination is unfashionable these days (Wonder if Cliff is still using it?)
Burn brightly, Pete.
