The Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year, is one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays in many Asian cultures. It marks the beginning of the lunar calendar and in 2025 the Lunar New Year falls on January 29 ushering in the Year of the Wood Snake.

As a society we can transition from outdated structures and beliefs and evolve into a paradigm that better serves humanity. This year is the ideal time for spiritual exploration, intellectual pursuits, and redefining our future life path. Dreams and visions (especially during meditation) may become more pronounced, vivid, or prophetic. Our intuition is heightened and the connection to our Higher Self and Divine Source deepened.

Wood phase represents honesty, integrity, growth, and an expansion of our natural gifts. As a society we begin to break down barriers and insist accountability for systems and structures that inform and affect our daily lives. The Fire element will bring in courage, passion, and energy for further transformation and spiritual evolution.
