Figure 1. Cyclic divisions.

Life expressions on earth - in this case the northern hemisphere - may be divided into four seasons. Spring comes with blossoms, summer with vacations, autumn with frost and withering, and winter with darkness and snow, for most part. This is a basic scheme, only.

It is also common to divide each time of the year into three. Hence the months.

If we focus on life expressions that are typical for each time of the year and maybe the different months too, we end up with astrology, where human life expressions are shown to correspond somewhat to life expressions - like the spring of life is childhood - and next draw many parallels through such murky semblances. This leads us to "all there is to horoscopes", too, in part.

In such ways we arrive at tentative existential footings - each sign of the zodiac gives one such. A term for this ancient way of looking at phenomena is structural existentialism, for many recurrent events in life are structured and come in cycles.

The correspondences are ancient. A table shows more of them:

Correspondences
Seasons of the year:	Spring	Summer	Autumn	Winter
Seasons of life:	Childhood	Youth	Adulthood	Old age
Ideations:	Zestful, prankish or 'boyish'	Can think well	Calculating, may even hide it	Feeble etc.
The spin:	Infamously	Tidy, very tidy	Constructive vs items	Grave, decadent, maybe obsolete
Some aligned body parts:	Head and face; neck and throat; shoulders	Breasts, chest, belly	Loins, hips, sex organs, thighs	Knees, legs, feet down to foot soles

EXPLANATION:

Each of the seasons can be seen as having a first part, a central area (middle), and a final part. And through that the year has twelve months. It's also feasible to map the central parts (areas) and overall functions pertaining to them. What do we get? A sort of structural-existential map.

Then, why? A sound reason could be that time and space is a continuum - not time and space as much as time-space, according to physics.

Accordingly, the body dynamics are not just of shape, but is altered with time, and severely so too. Human extensions correlate with time in some ways, and medical astrology is rooted in such correspondences.

Adjusting angles rooted in interpretations

The footing bead is the third bead from top along the broken arrow (the big one to the bottom right)

The way out of tall problems is to move from the nave of figure 1 to a suitable area of the rim and get a good footing there, and that is what a good home is for too, in its way. It is typically a "sector four" item. However, things are not always that simple, and there are different kinds of homes.

Now, somewhere on the rim you seek to "ground" the solution you come up with. In other words, you try to form a base that works well for enlarging your operations in time, by knowledge and skills. Gaining reserves and knowhow, you get reserves needed to gain Taos. This is in effect the all-round scientific process put a bit differently. It can suit one's home-making too along general lines - more or less so.

In such ways natural correspondences suggest things to go for - at any rate such structural probing may work well for profiling this and that as time goes by.

Rest assured: evidence of yearly cycles exists, and can be made use of in various ways.

Twenty-four and one cardinal groups to think on top of

Suppose you have found it good to ground a "Get Tao" trek (route) in sector three (cf. fig. 1). The sectors relate to each other in an over-all pattern. They can be used for comparison work, profiling, and so on. Keeping at it until it works was part of how Thomas A. Edison succeeded many a time.

Figure 2. The cyclic survey and the "Get Tao" route put together - a schematic intimation.

This simple system theory helps the anchoring (grounding) of tenets and utterances, and helps to show the angling (perspectives) involved in some of them too. The unified scheme is brought together with the cybernetic "Get Tao" layout so as to increase its all-round usefulness.

In the "Get Tao" way (route) there are numbered "beads on a string", that is, numbered stages towards gaining a Tao (way, handling routine, welcoming arms, etc).

The number right after the dot indirectly suggests the possible thrust (impetus). The lower the number, the greater the thrust of the concepts could be, much in keeping with Kurt Lewin's "There is nothing so practical as a good theory" (Aronson et al. 2016, 41) - Here it is taken to mean that some good ideas well arranged and acted on, give knowledge and skills that make life fruitful. The quality and grounding of core concepts determine the end results. You may mend, modify and refine stages of the process as you go along - that is also a part of this all-round cybernetics: Allow for modifications through feedback and understanding in an ongoing process.

Please note there are some reservations involved in such a venture, which is the way of general scientific research.

Beware that the sweep or extent of effectiveness (slagvidde) of the operation is also something to consider. The sweep may be tentatively ascertained in the field of activity. Suffice to say that much is your own responsibility.

Using such methods as one may build much from scratch, by Tao methods anchored in cyclic nature-semblances.

Now, if you increase the number of sectors from 12 to 24, you get a wider range of grounding options. And if you add one more group - "miscellaneous", you get 25 anglings in all. That could be good too, in that the amount of insights could increase by it.

Also bear in mind that success is rarely had outside the mainstream society these days, and is a conform thing mostly. So there is much you cannot do unless you are accepted, no matter how good your thinking and skills may be. Circumstances have to follow suit too. Still, the better your real life qualifications are, the better chances you may get in the long run. At least there is such hope.

Conclusion to this: The circle and its sectors are applied to the Get Tao route, much as in the ancient Chinese bagua design, but there are differences of design that count too.
