30 Jan New Year Energy

Many people felt 2020 was a rough year but we must look for the good in all things. A lot of unexpected change emerged in the home, workplace, and school settings. The world will always be ever changing and nothing will stay the same. If you continually operate in the same energy, your life will become stagnant.

History of the New Year

Originally, the new year started at the beginning of spring, which is recognized as the vernal equinox. Some cultures still celebrate the new year in the spring and it’s a big ordeal for many. The vernal equinox occurs when the sun is above the equator causing day and night to be equal lengths. Historical cultures built temples in structural alignment with the sun during the equinox. The astrological new year also begins in the vernal equinox when the sun enters the sign of Aries.

When the new year was celebrated in the spring, the Roman calendar followed the Lunar Cycle. A change came about when Julius Caesar decided to follow the Solar calendar. From that point on, the new year was celebrated in January. The month was named after Janus, a God in Roman mythology who oversaw beginnings and endings. He was viewed as an excellent representation of the new year because he had two faces; one looked at the past and the other looked at the future.

Spring

The spring is viewed as a season of renewal and the time when the earth comes out of its hibernation stage. Plants and other vegetation bloom signifying the rebirth and resurrection of life. As we all know, the timing of the year is essential for all farming practices. This can also be a fertile time for individuals to start their new beginnings as well. Spring provides a new wave of energy, which can be utilized to refresh our personal energy fields. Aligning ourselves to the natural cycles of the universe can pave the pathway to a greater awareness of self. Modern day society has lost connection with its natural environment.

Resolutions

Perhaps, the reason some individuals find it difficult to follow through with New Year resolutions is due to establishing them in the winter vs the spring. There’s nothing wrong with brainstorming and organizing your thoughts in the winter. However, when the new wave of spring energy rolls around, you should allow it to power your thoughts into action. Many people create resolutions that lack the purpose and motivation needed to push them to achieving the desired outcome.

Your resolutions should be categorized into smaller, obtainable goals so you can track your progress easily. For example, setting a goal of exercising 30 minutes everyday may not be ideal for everyone. Maybe setting a smaller goal of walking 15 minutes a day would be easier to achieve. It’s important to set goals that fit your lifestyle and schedule.

Wrap Up

Spring is a great time to usher in the new and nourish our positive thoughts to fruition. We give our homes a deep cleaning in the spring and the same thing should be done for our personal energy fields. Taking the time to realign with our natural environment can be beneficial in many ways. It can provide clarity, stability, and purpose driven actions. The ultimate goal is to embody the energy that will serve our highest good.
