Birth Chart and Houses Signify as a Life Clock in Astrology

It is true that life is full of milestones. Like a book that has chapters, life too has certain periods that are significant. For example, if a child can stand at less than a year old and can also start walking and talking at a little over a year old, then adult life also has such periods. Some examples of this are midlife crisis and second childhood.

A person will normally experience 12 periods of 6 years in his life which also correspond to the 12 houses in the birth chart. So when a person goes around the chart, he would already by seventy-two years old and that means he would be entering his second childhood. To know these periods in your life based on astrology, do read on.
