The Seasons
“Change circulates; it does not advance.”
The symbol
You are cycling. The phase you are in has visited before and will visit again. The question is not how to escape the cycle but how to meet this particular turn with more clarity than the last.
Within RADIX
This card sits in the Foundations domain — the terrain beneath every archetype. Whether it’s the card currently running your life — or one you’re recognizing in someone else — is what the Profile reads.
From the book
Ecology moves in seasons, not sprints. Attention is living tissue; feed it well and it creates worlds, feed it poison and it constructs prisons.
— RADIX: The Law of Redirected Motivation
The fig tree doesn't give up when winter comes. It surrenders its leaves, conserves energy, prepares for the next cycle. The form dissolves. The tree persists.

The Assessment
This card is a mirror.
The Profile finds the one that is you.
The RADIX Structural Profile reads which of the four phases is running your life right now — and whether the movement through it is producing coherence, or consuming it. Not a fixed type. A present configuration.
