Closing One Cycle, Entering the Next

Your Inner Truth (Gate 61)

We are standing at the very end of a full cycle around our star. Although we are already in January, the previous human experiential cycle not finished just yet. We are in the middle of looking back and reflect. Still. No rush just honest reflection, Not in a dramatic way, more like the last quiet moments before a door closes behind us.

This is a powerful time for reflection, which does not have to stay in the head.

This phase asks for mental honesty, clarity, and a willingness to look at things as they actually are and not as we hoped they would be. No need for cosmetic, just pure, honest, inner truth.

Over the next five to six days, you may feel drawn to review what you’ve learned, what has truly shifted inside you, and what has actually changed in your life. Check this not just for emotionally or ideally, but factually. You just need to check the facts. So this period is a good moment to ask yourself:

* What really happened this year (2025) beyond expectations and plans?

* What is undeniably true about my energy, my relationships, my work, my inner state, and so on?

* Where did my purpose and ambition meet reality and where didn’t they?

This is really not about judgment. It’s about clarity, and this clarity is kindness. If you are true to yourself, do not lie what you did, or what worked, with whom you were able to communicate, or work together, who supported you and who did not.

It’s your true awareness what you did, what happened, what you accomplished, and what you created. If you lie, you only hurt yourself, lie to yourself and most probably the new cycle will bring same lessons. Because you are not able to start a new cycle with clean and honest plate. Think about that.

Balance Between Togetherness and Solitude

During this winter period, we can feel kind of closed, maybe isolated in our home, during these cold, dark winter days. No surprise, the background theme of these days revolves around community and aloneness and finding the right balance between the two.

You may notice moments where you need space, boundaries, and more quiet. While other moments where connection, friendship, and shared experiences feel essential. Neither is better, both are necessary.

And the tension between them may show up like this:

• Feeling rigid, closed, or over-self-reliant at times

• Then suddenly craving closeness, cooperation, or emotional openness

The invitation is not to choose one side but to notice when each is appropriate.
 Knowing when to step back, and when to show up fully, is a kind of wisdom we refine now.

Emotional Undercurrents and Identity Check-Ins

These days can be Emotionally also challenging as our emotions will have like the see in a stronger wind.
 You might feel moments of struggle, questioning, or “why am I doing this?” followed by moments of self-recognition and great confidence.

You may feel challenged to look at:

* What is truly worth your effort?

* What kind of struggle gives you life and which ones drain you?

* How your behavior aligns (or doesn’t) with who you feel you are becoming?

Recognising these feelings, and the moving energies are not about fixing yourself. It’s about noticing where your actions are coming from. Because there are times when you recognise how your thoughts influence your behavior, your movement and action. But there are times when you just go with the flow. Both are OK. Just be aware from where you move and what to believe in.

Communication, Values, and Inner Fire

Another strong theme during these days is inner truth.

You may find yourself wanting to speak more honestly, even those talks are more simple reflections.


Your values may feel clearer especially around limits, time, energy, and commitment.

And your inner fire may ask for direction rather than explosion.

This is the time where:

• Honest conversations matter

• Clear boundaries feel supportive rather than restrictive

• And saying less but meaning it more, becomes powerful

Limitations may surface during these days but not as punishment. More like a reminder of what actually matters. And these limitations does not block you. They remind you your limit, where need to grow, learn or be aware of something. Something where we surrender, the limitations disappear. Limitation is not where you stuck, its what you need to learn, accept and move forward with clean and new intention.

Subtle Forces Shaping the Next Chapter

Underneath everything, there’s the sense, the energy of new beginnings preparing themselves.
 This new beginning is not yet fully formed but you can feel it already. Something is coming.

You may notice:

• Small impulses toward something new

• A desire to contribute in a way that feels meaningful

• Sensitivity around emotional experiences and deeper feelings

• A subtle contraction, like life asking you to simplify before expanding again.

All of this is part of closing one chapter properly, so the next, the new can open and begin freely.

How to Move Through These Following 5-6 Days

You don’t need to do anything special. Just simple observe and be honest, speak simply and speak your truth, rest when you need to, connect when it feels right, and let clarity arise in its own time.

This is not a time to rush forward. We all have and everything has its own time.

When we close a cycle correctly and consciously, the next one doesn’t need to fight its way in.
 It arrives naturally with less effort, more trust, and a deeper sense of alignment.

Take these days as a soft and gentle threshold. 
You’re not behind. You’re right on time. You are like that turtle who do everything its own time, but correctly.

And whatever you’re carrying forward let it be what’s true, not what’s heavy.
