A pseudoscientific excuse for our moods

As you can plainly see here, according to my personal biorhythm chart, I am on a downward intellectual cycle and I am just rising out of a deep valley of physical difficulty.

Note, too, that I am starting a precipitous plunge in the emotional arena.

I don't put much stock in biorhythm charting or astrology or anything that seeks to predict behavior, moods, etc.


But that shouldn't stop us from finding them fun and interesting. If anything, reading a horoscope can offer decent advice, no matter which sign you are reading. And a biorhythm chart can force you to think about how your own intellectual, mental, and emotional aspects work together to form your personality.


We all have good and bad days--and that good and bad is usually a subjective evaluation based on our mood and perspective at any given time. Unlike what biorhythms suggest, we don't have a strict periodicity to these personality aspects.

But we should be aware of what affects them. A good night's sleep can make the everything peak. Poor diet can affect everything negatively. A simple illness might not have an intellectual effect, but it could be devastating physically.

I like this second chart. It takes pairs of the primary three and averages them to create a secondary chart of mastery, wisdom, and passion. Mastery is a mix of physical and intellectual, wisdom is intellectual and emotional, and passion is physical and emotional. Things aren't looking great for me for the next few days. Please bear that in mind as you read my posts.

Chart your own biorhythms and share your results. If you have a favorite pseudoscientific way of viewing your future (for recreational purposes only, people...sheesh) then let us know about it in the comments.

Here's a prediction for you: I looked into my crystal ball and saw a hair video coming to the Happiness Notebook later today...remember, forewarned is forearmed.
