Articles about New Year’s Day
The older articles simply reflect on the ideas of making New Year’s Resolutions. However, they soon begin to set intentions and to make predictions.

History repeats itself. You could say that it is because man does not learn the lessons of history or does not think that history’s lessons pertain to his generation. Whatever the reason, history does have a tendency to repeat itself. As an astrologer, I can see that as the planets circle around and around the sun occasionally repeating various patterns and cycles. Just like the new moon and full moon cycles, everything comes back around full circle astrologically speaking. As 2010 begins, we have two major cycles coming back around AND they are clashing with each other. This is not necessarily a bad thing.
On and off over the last couple of years, I have written an article around New Years Day setting my intentions for the next year. I try to look at the social, economic, political, and/or spiritual place that we are in and then try to identify what it is that we need to fix, heal, resolve, inspire, or change things for the better. Some years, I did not write about it, but quietly shared the idea with friends who might help me pray or set the intentions for the coming year. For 2004, I wrote “Another Trip Around the Sun.” In 2005, I asked close friends to pray for the media to start doing their job and to again begin reporting the news and to not simply report what the corporations that own the media tell them to report. And in 2006, I asked that “truth” be told, accepted, and/or faced. We needed to see the truth, admit the truth, and deal with the truth. For 2007, I wrote “The Dawning” and for 2009, “The Age of Reason.” And so it is that this year, I find myself wondering… what now?
2008 will be a year of profound change. Not just because we will elect a new president and could thereby make a statement to the rest of the world about what it is that we really believe as Americans, but also because it is time for yet another astrological shift.
It’s New Year’s Day 2007 and half of my household is still asleep from last night’s festivities. The skies are gray as I look out my window trying to tie a rope around some wayward thought that haunts my mind and begs to be put down on paper as this morning’s feature article. The birds seem to be coming back – huge noisy black crows this time and they create such a distraction as I try to concentrate on not thinking so that I can let go and allow this to flow as it is meant to and not as I might force it to. And the word comes through and it calls to me like an old childhood memory from somewhere in the back of my cluttered unorganized mind – integrity. This is the year that “integrity” stood tall. That’s what they’ll say about 2007.
2006
There might not have been a 2006 article. We are still looking.
2005 -
Today, I am seeing the planet as a physical item spinning in space rather then as the conglomerate energies of all of its inhabitants. We ride on this big blue rock year after year around and around its sun. Is it no wonder that some of mankind’s first gods were the sun and the actual vehicle we ride around on itself. Every time I have tried to think about what it is I am supposed to tell you today in reference to New Year’s Resolutions, I just keep seeing this stupid arrogant cowboy riding around on a planet as if it is a bucking bronco and thinking that he has got any control whatsoever as to where she is taking him. Yeah, he can destroy her, but she won’t let him choose the route they take as they fly through the cosmos together. New Year’s Eve celebrations are not about something so arbitrary as the fact that I am going to hang a new calendar on the wall. It means that like a bronco rider, we have managed not to fall off and have ridden her around the sun one more time.
As this year comes to an end, I find myself contemplating ‘New Year’s Resolutions.’
Not the actual resolutions that I will make, but the concept that we actually deem
this the day to make resolutions. I guess I have three times each year that I make
