“I listened as the master launched into a full explanation of the “life phases.” “First comes the Moon phase, from birth to the age of seven. It’s when you develop your perception, sensitivity, and emotions. “Next is the Mercury phase. Age eight to fifteen. Your world is still a small one, but you gradually emerge into society and soak up all sorts of knowledge. Among humans, this corresponds to the early years of school. “Then you have the Venus phase. Sixteen to twenty-five. It’s when you start taking an interest in your appearance, discover what it really means to have fun and learn to love. The Venus phase is associated with leisure, pleasure, and romance.” That makes sense, I thought, seeing as it coincides with the last years of high school and college. “After that is the Sun phase—from twenty-six to thirty-five. Building on what you learned during Mercury, and the fun you had during Venus, you finally learn what it means to make your own way in life.”
