The luminous low mass X-ray binary Cir X-1 has been observed nearly continuously for about 5 years by the X-ray All Sky Monitor on board the RXTE satellite. We carried out a timing analysis on Cir X-1 with the RXTE data. We define the period from the X-ray data, comparing the period change over time with the best current ephemeris. with folded light curves of entire data set, characteristics of the system like long-term lightcurve changes, behavior of flares and dips and super-Eddington accretion were obtained. We also checked and identified the secondary flaring reported in radio band with X-ray data.
