A New Year and Everything After...

This Thursday, July 26 is the first day of the New Year according to the lunar calendar.  This means Wednesday is the "day out of time" giving us a chance to be free and timeless, renewing our intentions for the year to come. 

It is a great time to gather and focus on the peace we want for our world, the health of our planet and the joy we can create at this great time of transformation.  For every one time the earth goes around the sun, the moon goes around the earth 13 times.  This year is the year of the White Lunar Wizard. 

We are currently approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary cycle on the winter solstice, December 21, 2012, which marks the beginning of the Age of Aquarius.  (Cue music…)  This 26,000 year period marks our Solar System's completion of one orbital cycle around Alcyone, the Central star. (Stay with me…)

Discussed by many ancient cultures including the Maya, Hopi, Egyptians, Kabbalists, Navajo, Cherokee, Apache, Iroquois, and Aborigines, the completion of this cycle brings regeneration of the Earth, offering an awakening to all open and willing hearts.

The Sun and the Earth are evolving to the next stage of their life-cycles and increasing their energetic and vibratory rates.  We have the chance to do the same and this is our opportunity to choose our own destiny and in turn, affect the evolution of our world. 

I can certainly feel this shift in energy and feel a heightened sense of responsibility to what is ultimately my contribution to the world.  From my perspective, there are more of "us" (those that live their lives with love and hope) than there are of "them" (those that live through hate and fear) and we have the ability to overcome the trials we are facing.  We can't save the whole world as individuals but we can affect the people around us.  A powerful force when we put it all together, we are capable of clearing the way and allowing this revolution to benefit everyone.

"Wealth is not measured by dollars and cents but by the love we make, the laughter we enjoy, the meals we share, the dreams we experience and the hopes we create.  Real connections are our most precious treasures, whether they are with those that share our orbit or with our true and humble selves."
