Happy Chinese New Year! Welcome to the Year of the Tiger!
Lunar New Year is celebrated in the ancient culture of China, and in surrounding cultures including Korea, Vietnam, and others. It is a lunisolar New Year, its start determined by both the cycle of the Sun and the cycle of the Moon, in conjunction of course with our own Earth in both cases.
There is strong evidence that nearly all ancient calendars were originally lunisolar, as I discuss in this previous blog post.
That post also mentions the important work of Simon Shack, who has pointed out strong evidence that suggests that our Moon actually functions as a kind of "central drive shaft" for our entire solar system, with the cycles of the planets actually harmonizing with the cycle of our Moon.
Simon has proposed a new model of our solar system to explain the evidence that we can observe, one which I have discussed in this previous post and accompanying video, and which is also mentioned in this other post which links to an interview with Simon by the lads at the Amish Inquisition Podcast.
Wishing you prosperity and good fortune in the New Year -- and deeper harmony with your own Self, our Self being the one who knows what we love most and who steers us that way, if we listen.
