Cycle
What returns: day, year, tide, orbit, breath, the same shape at another hour.
description
A cycle is a pattern that comes back before it is finished being itself. Earth turns. The Moon pulls and the ocean answers. A year is a trip around the Sun. None of these needs its own card type.
Tide, season, rotation, orbit, and Pulse on the map feed Cycle. The occult name is eternal return; the physical name is a closed path in time. The card keeps one place for both.
