Another way of looking at it* is to assess the life-significance of particular events in relation to a whole life, and then fit them to the appropriate circles.

For example, if I see (as I do) my personal crisis of the last few years** as being a ‘Mid-life crisis’, despite the fact that many people seem to use the term to describe a problem of the (late?) 40s, then clearly, as I was in my middle thirties at the time, the life [referred to] was my 64-year Outward (or ‘Working’) Life, but the Crisis therefore was at the meeting-point of the 2 ½ circles*** of 32 years each, and all events connected with that crisis must be mapped primarily in that light: so you have to be able to identify a Crisis from its characteristic quality, not just by map-reading.

***[Unclear whether this refers to semi-circles, or (relatively) half-length circles, probably the latter]
