Health is also about aligning with natural cycles!
Did you know January 1st actually has no real astronomical or natural connection to being “New Year’s Day”?
It wasn’t chosen because it aligns with nature, the stars, new growth, or any cosmic beginning… It was chosen for political and administrative convenience!!
Originally, the new year started in March in the Roman world, and in places like Ethiopia, New Year still begins in September (Enkutatash), closer to harvest, renewal, and the natural cycle of rebirth. That makes more sense. Nature is waking up or replenishing. The cycle is restarting.
But over time, those in power changed it:
⚠️153 BCE – Roman government shifted to January 1st for political reasons
⚠️45 BCE – Julius Caesar cemented it with the Julian Calendar
⚠️1500s – Gregorian calendar reinforced it for Church unification
None of this was about astronomy.
None of it was about nature.
None of it was about cosmic timing.
It’s just a date humans picked and forced the world to follow.
And if we actually look at the sky and the earth, January is still the end of the previous cycle.
Nature isn’t beginning.. its resting.
Seeds are dormant.
Animals are conserving energy.
Trees are bare.
We are supposed to be going INWARD, not outward having this sacred time for rest harvested and mixed with outside ENergy.
The true energetic “new year” points make far more sense:
🌞 Winter Solstice (Dec 21) – the return of the sun
🌱 Spring Equinox (March 20-21) – equal day & night / real new cycle
🔥 Aries season (astrological new year) – the start of the zodiac wheel.
If January feels heavy instead of inspiring… you’re not failing.
You’re actually in alignment with nature.
This is not the start! This is the cocoon.
The new beginning comes with spring.
Personally? I’m not forcing productivity or “new year new me” energy right now.
I’m embracing this season for what it actually is meant for:
🛌 Rest
🧘🏽♀️ Reflection
👨👨👧👦 Family
💗 Nourishment
I am taking advantage of this season to do ZERO work, spend time with my kids, and pour back into me.
I'm hibernating, my phone is off, im being present, and building energy for when the real cycle begins.
If January feels like pause mode instead of go mode…
trust it.
Nature agrees with you. 💚🌿
