Happy Lunar New Year! If your 2024 hasn’t gone as well as you’d hope, here’s another chance to reset, to realign goals, and to recalibrate direction.
The Lunar New Year runs on 60 year cycles, and this year is the year of the Wood Dragon, also known as the Blue Dragon, who is deeply associated with growth and dynamism.
One of my late spiritual mentors used to insist that the Blue Dragon is the most powerful creature in all of existence, precisely because it does not exist, for conventional existence as such would limit it to the realm of finitude.
The realm of the imaginal (as opposed to that of finitude) is certainly a powerful one, and the dragon is the only creature (of the twelve that flesh out the East Asian zodiac) that fully occupies that realm. Therefore we might think of this lunar new year as one particularly suited for exploring the depths of the imaginal, which is to say, our dreams and aspirations that might otherwise feel stifled by ordinary spatiotemporal concerns.
Good luck friends!
