We very much subscribe to the idea that the year doesn’t start in January - and neither should you.
TLDR the Gregorian calendar’s start date is arbitrary, disconnected from nature, and primarily a construct of historical and commercial influence etc etc.
So in lieu of that, let’s find a New Year that works for us - here are just some you can choose from:
- Astrological New Year: Astrologically, the new year begins when the Sun enters Aries, which occurs around the Spring Equinox.
- Personal New Year: Many feel their personal cycle restarts on their birthday, which is seen as a more meaningful, individualised time to set new goals and reflect on the past year.
- Lunar New Year: Celebrated by many cultures (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean) based on a lunisolar calendar, that we celebrated just last week on Feb 17.
