- Time Cycles
Time cycles signify a 360 degree circular or eliptical rotation, orbit or journey in time typically of an object such as a planet or moon. In the case of the
precession of the equinoxes , the cycle is determined by the 360 degree shifting of the equinoctal axis. Time cycles can also refer to larger rotations or orbits such as the time it takes for the Earth to make one complete revolution about theGalactic Center of the Milky Way.The Earth's day
