Yearly Change Ceremony.pdf

A ceremony brings awareness and direction to life by reviewing the past year, letting go of what didn't work, and intentionally releasing thoughts to start fresh. The best time to do the ceremony is late in the current year or on significant dates like January 1st, Chinese New Year, or Russian Orthodox New Year. To perform the ceremony, one needs small pieces of paper, a candle, matches, a receptacle for burning paper, and scissors. The process involves invoking the Violet Flame, lighting a candle for the old year, reviewing the past year's events, and burning lists of disappointments and wins to release and acknowledge them. The new year, 2021, is expected to be a 'cosmic reset button' with overlapping layers of energy, including Western Astrology predicting releasing attachment to old structures, creative potential, and technological advances, and Chinese Astrology predicting a harsh and cold atmosphere with conflict and distrust. To navigate 2021, one should ground themselves, practice radical self-care, have courage, know their emotions, speak their truth, and be prepared to be alone if needed.
