The invention discloses a circumferential and axial mixing phase distribution switch reluctance motor control method. A circumferential and axial mixing phase distribution switch reluctance motor is a 2*3 phase or 3*2 phase or 2*2 phase structure. The method comprises the following steps of receiving a forward-rotating or reverse-rotating starting instruction; detecting a rotor position; and executing a forward-rotating transition phase work circulation or a reverse-rotating transition phase work circulation, wherein stator cores take turns to carry out transition phase. In the method, 2*3 phase and 3*2 phase structure motors realize 6 phase control through transition phase among the stator cores by turns; and a 2*2 phase structure motor realizes 4 phase control through the transition phase among the stator cores by turns. The phase number is increased, an effect pole number is not reduced, during a transition phase process, each related broken angle can be advanced, motor operation is smooth so that a torque pulsation and noises are improved, and the method is mainly applied in the switch reluctance motor field.
