The REAL New Year

Did you know that December 31st, though it is the end of a calendar sequence, is not the end of the solar cycle?  In fact January 22nd is the official NEW YEAR! The Rave New Year!

We are after all totally dependent on the grace of the sun. We orbit around that sun, and just like the monthly/weekly transits we talk about in AstroLOVE, the Earth orbits around the sun too. When you look at the way the sun operates in terms of the Rave Mandala, it's one of the mysteries, and one of the beauties.

On January 22, 2023, 06:38 AM UTC, the Sun enters the 41st Gate; this signals the beginning of the Rave New Year. That 41st Gate is delicious. Everything starts with this Gate.

Every January, as the Sun enters the 41st Gate, we initiate a new human experiential cycle on this plane.

So let's talk about the 4 stages of the Rave New Year! In order to maximize this new year you're going to want to get your ducks in a row starting TODAY!

Stage 1: Sun enters Gate 38

This year: December 31, 2022, at 05:32 AM UTC

When the Sun is in the 38th Gate, that is when we have our calendar New Year. The opposition of the 38th Gate is the 39th Gate, Obstruction, which is a deeply provocative energy. It is energy that can create dilemmas and situations, not an energy that is there for completion.

You can tell when you get to completion because the Gate before the 41 is the 60th Gate, called Limitation. That's the completion, that is the end of the cycle each year - not the 38th Gate, when we have our calendar New Year.

Tension. The 38-39 opposition is part of a Right Angle Cross called the Cross of Tension. There's more tension being put out there on so-called New Year's Eve than anything else.

Stage 2: Sun enters Gate 54

This year: January 5, 2023, at  18:01 UTC

The process begins with the 54th gate, the Marrying Maiden, the Gate of Ambition. The 54th Gate carries a fourth line which is deeply mystical: Enlightenment/Endarkenment. The moment the Sun enters the 54th gate we have a stage in which we really need to look, and to look clearly.

The 38th Gate points us towards whether we have found purpose in this life, and not so much in the life, but in the previous cycle. At New Year's eve, the energy that's really there is not about celebrating and looking forward to the future; it's about looking back and seeing. Did it work? Did you find purpose? Did you find your spirit? The 38-39 polarity, this is the beginning of closing down the cycle, and you begin to look back at that point. Was there a purpose? Was is it something that was fulfilling?

Then we enter into Gate 54 with a Gate 53 opposition. That 54, the ambition, the transformation, is about beginning to look forward. Who are my best allies? Who were those beings out there that I can work with, trust, rely on? It’s a key to ambition and transformation, and its polarity is the 53rd gate, which is about beginning things. This is the way the cycle unfolds naturally.

We continue our journey through the stages of what leads up to the New Year; in other words, the way you complete the yearly cycle. In Stage 1 and 2 we looked at the Sun entering Gate 38 (Opposition) and Gate 54 (Ambition). Stage 3 is about Inner Truth...

Stage 3: Sun enters Gate 61

This year: January 11, 2023, at 06:32 AM UTC

When you get to the Sun in Gate 61, Inner Truth, and on the other side Gate 62 (the facts please, just the facts), you look back and see whether purpose and spirit have been fulfilled. You take a look at the forces around you that have been there for you, and those that have not, so you can lay the groundwork for a new beginning.

Then you look within yourself, that Inspiration (through Gate 61) will be there: based on fact, based on what's possible, on your own Authority, on your power to realize your potential. (Then you get to Gate 60 and you just let go, but we’ll get there.)

It's a key to this coming week (61-62), a week of thinking. We’re in such a hurry to move forward that we don't give ourselves time to assess. It's time to assess! If you’ve missed looking for purpose and spirit, if you have not looked back at those forces to see who was there for you and who was not, then it's time to do so and to put that in perspective, to give yourself what you need.

Stage 4: Sun enters Gate 60

This year: January 16, 2023, at 19:04 UTC

Now we move onto the 60th Gate of Limitation. It's about letting go, it's always about letting go. I think this is one of the most difficult things for human beings trying to live their lives as themselves, letting go of the seduction that mind puts in front of them all the time. Letting go of this sense of insecurity and needing to take care of business themselves, when in fact it just blows them way.

How beautiful and peaceful it is to be able to rest within yourself, and find the truth within you. Getting to this place is about letting go of the past, letting go of it all. Not just simply letting go of what didn't work, but ready to step forward into a new experiential cycle with the Sun entering the 41st gate, and away we go.

Limitation is something extraordinary because it’s all about transcendence. The moment you can accept limitation, it no longer exists. This is all about mind, and the way mind distorts things, keeping you uncomfortable in your life. If you can accept the limitation of who you are, the way it is, and live life as yourself, this is a beautiful thing.

Have a great year!
