The Hermetic Principles

☿Rhythm

Hermetic principle · Everything has its tides

The principle that all things rise and fall in cycles — the measured swing between two poles, like a pendulum or a tide.

Rhythm reads as the tides in your own life: the swing between effort and rest, gain and loss, that no season holds forever. It counsels you to ride the low swing patiently, since the pendulum that carried you down is the same one that carries you back up.
