For decades, I’ve followed the rhythms of multiple energy cycles, honoring various "new years" throughout the year. This isn’t just something I stumbled upon—it’s something I grew up with, learning to recognize the deep wisdom embedded in nature’s cycles, celestial movements, and cosmic alignments. Over time, my studies expanded, leading me to track and integrate these layered energy systems into my personal and professional practice.
Many people view the start of the calendar year on January 1st as the singular beginning of a new cycle. However, when we take a more expansive, multidimensional approach, we find that time is cyclical rather than linear. By observing multiple energetic resets throughout the year, we gain a richer, more aligned way of working with time and transformation. This is where the Cosmic Calendar comes into play, offering a dynamic, integrative way of tracking shifts in energy across various systems.
Below, I’ll share key energetic markers I follow—each offering its own “New Year” moment within its respective cycle.
Lunar Cycles: Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year is based on the cycles of the Moon rather than the Gregorian calendar. Rooted in ancient traditions, this event is widely celebrated in many cultures and typically aligns with the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice. It represents renewal, intention setting, and aligning with the lunar rhythms that influence our emotional, intuitive, and spiritual bodies. I work with lunar cycles deeply, honoring how each New Moon, Full Moon, and eclipse provides a powerful opportunity for reflection and change.
Astrological Cycles: Astrological New Year
In astrology, the Astrological New Year occurs when the Sun moves into Aries, typically around March 20-21, marking the Spring Equinox. Aries, as the first sign of the zodiac, represents initiation, action, and renewal, making this a natural energetic reset. For those who follow astrology, this moment is more aligned with fresh beginnings than January 1st, as it aligns with the rebirth of nature in the Northern Hemisphere.
Additionally, within astrology, eclipses act as cosmic resets, each bringing potent shifts that recalibrate our personal and collective journeys. Planetary and asteroid cycles also contribute to energetic shifts, offering distinct periods of transformation and new phases of awareness.
Galactic Cycles: Galactic New Year
Beyond Earth-based and planetary cycles, I also track Galactic Cycles, which align us with a more quantum perspective of time. One of the most well-known markers is the Galactic New Year, celebrated on July 26 in alignment with the heliacal rising of Sirius. This date is recognized in the Mayan and Egyptian traditions as a powerful cosmic reset that connects us to the greater rhythms of the universe and our place in the broader galactic web of consciousness.
Seasonal Cycles & The Wheel of the Year
The Earth moves through distinct seasonal cycles, and I honor these shifts through the Wheel of the Year—a sacred map of natural transformation. Each seasonal transition brings an opportunity to reflect, release, and realign with nature’s rhythms. Within these cycles, there are several key "New Years":
-
Samhain (October 31st) – The Witches' New Year, marking the end of the Wheel of the Year and the beginning of the Season of the Witch, a liminal time for reflection, ancestral work, and preparation for the next cycle.
-
Yule (Winter Solstice, December 21st- January Lunar New Year) – A time of rebirth and renewal as the light returns. This initiates a deeper season of transformation that extends until the Lunar New Year, aligning with how many ancient cultures observed winter as a sacred time of incubation.
-
Spring Equinox (March 20-21) – While the Astrological New Year aligns with the Spring Equinox, some people feel more naturally attuned to the Spring Equinox itself as the true beginning of the year. It is a time of balance, renewal, and fertility, when nature comes alive once more. If this resonates more deeply with you, it’s perfectly valid to follow what feels right. One of the greatest lessons in working with cycles is learning to trust your own intuitive timing rather than adhering strictly to external systems.
Stargate Portals & Quantum Time Shifts
Throughout the year, we also pass through powerful stargate portals, which act as energetic passageways between dimensions. These include alignments like the Lion’s Gate (8/8), the Solstices, Equinoxes, and Royal Star Portals. These cosmic openings provide heightened opportunities for spiritual evolution, allowing us to step into new levels of consciousness and transformation.
Why Recognizing Multiple New Years Matters
By honoring these various resets, we align ourselves with multiple layers of time, energy, and consciousness. These cycles serve as invitations to:
-
Work with the natural flow of energy rather than against it.
-
Recognize and embrace transformation as a process rather than a single event.
-
Deepen spiritual awareness by integrating cosmic, earthly, and seasonal wisdom.
-
Create a rhythm of renewal throughout the year, ensuring that we remain in sync with the unfolding energies around us.
For me, following these cycles isn’t just a practice—it’s a way of life. It’s how I navigate my personal growth, spiritual evolution, and the offerings I share with my community. The Cosmic Calendar is more than a concept; it’s a living, breathing approach to understanding time, energy, and the ever-unfolding cosmic dance we are part of.
By tuning into these multiple “New Years,” we can move through life with greater awareness, intention, and alignment. No longer confined to one single reset date, we instead embrace the cyclical nature of time—allowing us to ride the waves of transformation with grace and purpose.
