THE DRAGON & THE PHOENIX - Celestial Guardians of the Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year & Lunar Celestial Gateways

THE DRAGON & THE PHOENIX
 Lunar New Year & Lunar Celestial Gateways

Calendar Keeping – Solar, Lunar & Lunisolar Years
 
A Solar Year is the amount of time it takes for the sun to appear in the same spot in the sky, which is driven by to how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun.  A solar year is 365 years (plus a few hours)
 
A Lunar Year is based on the monthly cycles of the moon phases – and counts a year cycle complete when the moon comes back to the same spot in the same phase. Our moon is a fast mover, constantly shapeshifting! A pure lunar year is 354 days
 
A LuniSolar Year takes into account both the sun and moon cycle points to harmonize and include both.  The method of syncing the two calendars results in a “leap month” every second or third year. A “standard” lunar cycle has 12 moons, and a leap has 13. Of note – the sun and moon cycles & calendars sync up every 33 years.  One of the reasons the 33 is such a light encoded number. 
 
For any cycle – you have to pick a starting point as a marker. 
For the solar we use the equinox point – so a solar year begins on the March Equinox. A calendar year of course begins every January 1. A Lunar Year traditionally is determined by the tipping point to spring – the new moon closest to the cross quarter seasonal marker (halfway between solstice and equinox.
 
Lunar New Year
The sliver moons we can see just before dawn this week are the last glimpses of the 2023 moon.  The Lunar New marker is upon us.  We begin again!
​The New Moon is Friday February 9 at 5:59 pm EST/22:59 UCT and 6:59 am on February 10 in China. (this is why you will see Lunar New Year listed as Feb 10 – as we set our global lunar clocks by our Asian wisdom timekeepers).
Each Lunar year traditionally has a Chinese Zodiac animal guardian associated with it.  We are entering the 2024 Year of the Wood Dragon. Each Lunar year also has a governing element, this year is wood.

​The Dragon & The Phoenix Fly in Together
While the dragon energies are most palpable as we flow into this new lunar year – I have also been feeling a ton of Phoenix energies!! The Dragon and Phoenix energy signatures are similar to me.  Sometime the light being projections from my Andaras have this quality of being simultaneously a Dragon AND a Phoenix to me.  They code together. That has always intrigued me and made me want to explore more. 
 
Where I live, we had scant few days of sun in January.  One of the bright sun days was January 12,  I had been at Inner Space most of the day on January 11 – gridding with Andaras, as that is a gateway play day for me when much comes streaming in the 1/11- and the Andaras are my crystalline gridkeeping buddies on such an occasion. I had set in place a “grid” for my 1/11 ceremony – and walked in at just the right time the next morning to see the most glorious light show - and this light being flying on rainbow wings right out of Goldie.  We played and danced together for a while, and I took many pics and photos to celebrate and share.  

Exploring The Celestial Gateways
This light play 1/11 gateway day reignited my desire to connect more deeply with this Dragon/Phoenix doubling I was tuning into.  A bit of surfing and reading and googling about connections between the two I came across the factiod that in ancient traditions the Phoenix was considered the Yin Counterpart and “other half” of the yang dragon.  Bing Bing!  This hit the spot -this was in align with what I was feeling.  That the 2024 Lunar Year has the Dragon & The Phoenix riding in together – as a guardian pair!
As a Celestial Shaman does, I checked the skies and celestial sphere for these guardians – and found them in the Draco (Dragon) and Phoenix Constellations.  These two constellations sit across the sky from each other – and are North and South Celestial Pole Guaridans.  Draco the Dragon stars wrap around the northern celestial pole and keep “watch” over our North.  The Phoenix sits near the South Celestial pole.  With this cross sky placement – they can rise and set across from each other – opening a celestial gateway.  
During the New Moon and Lunar New Year window – the Dragon sits on the northern horizon, and the Phoenix sits on the southern.  Celestial Guardians keeping the gates.

2024 Lunar Year & The Eclipse Cycles
The First New Moon of Lunar 2024 is Feb 10 – Lunar New Year.  The second New Moon is March 10 – a Supermoon.  The Third New Moon of 2024 is a Lunar Eclipse.  This Lunar Eclipse is March 25, 2024.  And is the complement to the much-anticipated April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. All of these upcoming moons - full and new -  feel super potent, and will activate key codes in each one of us as we launch a new lunar cycle and prepare for the transformational eclipse cycle. I have crafted my Inner Space offerings to assist us all with this inner transformation.  
 
Both Dragon & Phoenix bring FIRE.  Fire burns down the old.  Fire consumes.  Fire Transforms. Fire Alchemizes. And we emerge anew - and build again - all NEW.
This process will be impactful – and bring so much through for us to work with too!  To assist us all in this inner transformation, I have designed an Inner Space Journey to bring through the light codes to your field and to bathe your field in sonic landscapes and skyscpaes where Phoenix & Dragons fly.
To assist as we flow through the gateways -  I have planned events on each of the moons building up to the Lunar Eclipse on March 24/25. These Launch with this weekend’s Lunar New Year Celebration with Sonic Alchemy of the Dragon & The Phoenix offered both in person and online. 

Attend Online Event Feb 9

Come play in person Feb 11 or 12

Phoenix Fire Andara Teams
I also have been utilizing a 3 piece Phoenix Alchemy Fire Andara team for my own personal work for years now (thank you Lisa Transcendence Brown for connecting me with them).  
They have come with me everywhere I go, every trip, every new spot, there they are, at my bedside. 
 
I have also assembled and activated Andara teams of the same color rays for sharing with all of YOU.  They flew with me to Phoenix and activated with me in Sedona.  They flew to Texas with me and activated more under the October eclipse. These sets wanted to come code with Goldie and the play with Dragon Phoenix Light being, what a fun and uplifting way to spend a morning!  
 
They are Alive with LiGHT and we have them listed in the Live As Light online Andara shop ready to fly your way.  Connect with the team that is meant to illuminate your alchemical phoenix soul light. Powerful Inner Transformations await.
