Marking the beginning of the year linked to the cycle of the moon, rather than the sun, speaks to an appreciation of the softer, in some ways more penetrating, light of the moon. It is the light of the moon that represents awakening, not the light of the sun.

Often we don’t know what we really want and require and truly care about. We chase outcomes when the change we need is inside.
