Cycles can be (and are) broken down into smaller parts called “phases.” It does not matter whether we are looking at the phases of the Moon, the zodiac cycle, the astrological houses or the aspect cycle between any two planets or bodies.

What we have here are a series of keywords and phrases relating to some of the major cycle phases. Here 12 are detailed.
