What is the actual new year date?

The new year is here! And with it the age-old question and matter: Is this the true new year? And if not, why are we celebrating it now?

What are the origins, reasons and traditions behind this all and why are we being pushed onto this timeline, agenda and reality? There are many answers and facets to this matter. None is straightforward or easy to solve.

What is the actual new year date?

Why is there so much confusion about the actual new year and what is the actual date? Here are my thoughts, research and insight on this matter:

As you are likely aware of, we've had many calendar changes in the Western world. These have been adopted by almost the entire world to facilitate trading, business and communication between all countries.

Of course you can argue that the Chinese calendar is still slightly different. Or that the Hebrew calendar uses a completely different year. But the fact is, almost all places use the standardized version, which is used in the Western World. This is mainly due to practicality reasons. Some calendars are solar-based. Some are lunar-based. Some are both.

The change of our calendars and the chaos after:

Our current calendar is indeed the Gregorian one, which was proposed and used by Pope Gregory in the year 1582 (but not fully implemented by Great Britain and most of its colonies until 1752, which is almost 200 years later). You can already tell at this point how confusing the entire concept of time, dates and calendars is. And how the matrix controllers have been trying to put us on their timelines for the longest of times already.

One can argue that some "ancient" tribes, such as Mayans, Egyptians and so-on, had more efficient calendars. However, the fact remains that their calendar system was still part of the matrix and used for just that: The tracking of time. Instead of allowing time to be free-flowing, stretched out and manipulated by us daily. As it can be and should be. And I will talk more about this in the future, in case you are interested in how to make your days appear longer.

Now, since the Gregorian calendar came along, we have been consistently celebrating New Year's Day on January 1st. This tradition was already proposed in its forerunner, which was the Julian calendar. It got its name because Julius Caesar introduced it (and some people like to hate on him because of it).

The truth is, not one single person (neither Julius Caesar nor Pope Gregory) is solely to blame for a calendar shift and the new dates. We are all aware that there are different factions and members behind all these things. These like to control time and many other things in our reality.

The calendars were implemented during the reign or presence of these people but very likely neither of the two personas mentioned above were the culprits behind the shift of dates and additional months. This is all part of a higher plan, the need for more control and a sign of our cabal-governed reality.

The Julian Calendar is not that unique and original...

In addition, Julius Caesar was not the first to propose the new date of January's new year and two additional months to our calendar. 700 years before him, a Roman ruler named Numa Pompilius actually already added the two months of January and February. Most people don't know this.

It is indeed correct that January comes from Janus and implies a worship of this "god". Whos Janus, the Roman god? Here is an excerpt of an online definition:

He is the unique, two-faced Roman god of beginnings, endings, doorways, transitions and time. Symbolizing looking to the past and future simultaneously. Hence the month of January is named for him. He was invoked first in rituals, represented by a double-headed figure holding a key and staff, overseeing all passages and new ventures, with his temple gates opening for war and closing for peace. 

Our calendar goes back to Ancient Egypt...

However, the Julian calendar is actually based off a much older system. And this is the Ancient Egyptian calendar, which is a solar-based calendar (just like our current one). The ancient Egyptians used the exact same calendar we have now, with our 12 months and 365 days, thousands of years earlier. In addition, their actual new year was in... July! This would be the month the most celebrations were held in their world.

Fascinating, isn't it? Because July nowadays is the month of sovereignty. Many national independence days fall into this month. Including 4th of July for the USA, July 1st for Canada, and July 14th (Bastille Day) for France.

Some proposed new dates for New Year:

Some new agers and truthers alike tend to throw a few more dates in the mix for the actual new year. The reasoning behind March 20th may seem plausible from the perspective of people being in tune with nature and all that goes with it. A major spring awakening occurs around that time.

The other dates fall in line with this type of thinking, as well:

• March 20th (equinox, spring for most of the world),

• March 25th (actual new year)

• and April 1st (end of actual new year celebrations).

The proposed dates of March 25th through April 1st are part of the same concept, by the way. This is because people used to celebrate the New Year for the duration of an entire week, which started on March 25th and ended on April 1st.

However, according to ancient Egyptian tradition, July would be a more accurate date for the actual New Year. And according to the Chinese calendar, their new year always falls between January and February with the Lunar celebrations. No matter what, the confusion about time and date remains.

Some calendars are solar based. Some are lunar based. Similar to different types of astrology (Western and Hellenistic astrology vs. Vedic astrology), this will yield different results and interpretations of our times. Some may appear more accurate to you than others. For me personally, the Hellenistic and Western model are far more accurate than Vedic and Chinese astrology have ever proven to be. But more about this in a separate article.

This should give you a brief overview of why different calendar systems have different dates for the new year. Another fun fact is that 10 days were deleted in October of 1582, the year the Gregorian calendar was introduced.

This means, if we were still on the Julian calendar, our new year would be closer to our current dates of January 14th or 15th. This may explain why the first few weeks of January always feel particularly slow and like not much is happening yet. At least on an energetic level.

Time is stored in our DNA and also ancestry. In order to break through the restrictions of time, date and society, it is crucial to learn how and why. Heal your ancestry teaches just that and you can find out more about it here.

Happy, glorious new year to all! No matter what time and date you celebrate.
