Physical 
Energy
is easy to describe when talking about a person. It is the action of one's body. Physical energy in a nation is the body of a nation in motion. It manifests in what the we as a nation build, and how. Industry, construction, production, military, sports, fitness and health are all Physical. "Physical behavior" can make one materialistic or territorial.
In an
industrialized society such as ours, production and durable goods play a
significant role. Our main industries are steel, energy, construction,
automobiles, railroads, and more. These businesses often rise and fall together.
The armed forces do not stay at the same level either, sometimes we have more
strength than other times. In sports, we will play harder and achieve more at
different times. Health fads come and go. Our dress and attitudes will change.
When the Cycle is High, we guard our territories from what corporate mergers we
allow to, who we want living next door; then, when the Cycle is low, we
transcend all boundaries with the free exchange of ideas across open boundaries.
Materialism rises and falls. Care for property swings in everything from major
urban renewals, to painting the front porch on a Sunday afternoon. It is Rhythm
in the Gross Body,(1) and Physical aspects of a nation. The rise and fall of our industrial production is a multiple of the 7-year septennial Rhythm of cellgrowth in our bodies(2).

Yang is described as Ch'ien in the I Ching and is found in the Physical Cycle with "masculine" energy. We see this energy in machismo, masculine styles, and Physically-based strengths. Physical ways tend to structure with
hierarchy. Systems in Physical Highs are based more on power and dominance than on networking. Territories are drawn and involve
patriarchal figures at the center. We focus on the material world. In Physical Lows we pull up the drawbridge, become more passive and are less inclined toward action. Not only may Physical fences come down, but rigid adherence to old systems will wane. The format of our social structure will become less partitioned and more fluid in a Low. Yang is the electrical force of matter and in the animus persona of our character.

Physical
Cycle Now
is in the Ninth Physical Cycle (1999 - 2006). Physical energy is in a High (1999 - 2013) and in the 1st Qtr. of Foundation (1999 - 2006).
The Upward Crossover of 1999 (March 21, 1999 - March 21, 2000) precipitated the
transitional crisis that shook up business and industry. That is when the bubble burst and overprice internet businesses and other ventures fell with a hard correction in 2000. The Emotional Peak of 2000 brought over speculation to the market with the Physical Cycle previous to that time had been Low. That means that we our optimism outran our strength. When the Physical Cycles crossed up into the High half, only those business that stood on solid
foundations survived to continue into the new reality. Now as we rise, Physical things increase in value, which accounts for the dramatic increase that has come to real estate values since 2000. After the Peak in Spring, 2006, we will continue into a period of expansion that will enhance industry and the sciences. This will last as long as the Physical High until a Downward Crossover in 2013 brings another brief crisis and we decline into the next Low.

Physical
Highs & Lows
have been consistent. Peaks come 28 years apart, and concurrent Troughs come every 28
years. Half the Cycle is High and we have more Physical energy for 14 years,
then half the Cycle is Low for 14 years. This change manifests throughout the Physical fiber of the nation in waves.
Figures #4-4a thru #4-4c show the 28-year Physical Cycle with Highs & Lows.

1. The Gross Body, or stuhla-sarira, in Indian philosophy is the Physical body.
2. Pythagoras, Cicero, and Seneca all suggested the existence of such Cycles. A recent issue of the British Medical Journal reported the findings of Jos Verhulst (of Lous Bolk Institute - Netherlands) and Patrick Onghena (of the U. Of Leuven - Belgium) who discovered a seven-year growth Cycle in human ears. They also discovered a circa-septennial Rhythm in the closure of the cranial suture. Noted researchers now note this as the "tip of some iceberg."
