How to Calculate a Biorhythm Chart

Biorhythms are theoretical cycles that show how the body and the mind go through patterns. These patterns, or cycles, go up and down each day. They are often used to show how a person is feeling, such as physically active or lacking in energy, on a particular day. Learn how to calculate your biorhythm chart to see where your energy cycles are today--and how they'll change in the coming days and weeks.

Instructions

• 1

  Open a biorhythm chart calculator. A number of good calculators can be found in the Resource section below.

• 2

  Enter the month, day and year you were born on in the appropriate boxes labeled "Birth Year" or "DOB."

• 3

  Choose "Small," "Medium" or "Large" from "Chart Size." A large chart is easier to read, but a small chart loads faster.

• 4

  Fill in your name in the "Name" box, and choose the number of days you would like the chart to cover from the "Days in Cycle" menu. Thirty days is a typical cycle, and some calculators choose 30 automatically.

• 5

  Click "Submit" or "Calculate." The line that runs vertically from the top to the bottom of the chart marks today's date and where you are in your current cycle.

• 6

  View the key code beside the biorhythm chart. This tells you what each colored line means. Wherever these lines cross, the vertical line shows how high or low these areas of your life are today. For example, a blue line that crosses at the top of the chart might mean that you have a high sense of your physical self today.

• 7

  Follow the colored lines to track where the different aspects of your mood will be on different days.
