Every 8 years for men: 8-16-24-32-40-48-56-64-72-80
Stages :
1) 0-7 copy the parents, weak identification to ego
2) 7-14 try to do like the parents inside & just around the family territory
3) 14-21 try the opposite= try out the limits farther from family territory
4) 21-28 adult young female seeks mate for procreation & other fun
5) 28-35 establish whatever person you have become + kids
6) 35-42 make your place in the big world around (career, family, ..)

something of life before it is over)
8) 49-56 gather your experience& get to the meaning of this incarnation
9) 56-63 attain wisdom, for you to live most efficiently possible/for others to pass it on to
them
10) 63-70 find out your energy & other levels are going down, while radiating wisdom
11) 70-77 let go of your ego-driven “wanting”, prepare for letting go of this
incarnation(accepting after 5 stages = denial/ignoring/refusal/accepting/actively
letting go)
