Now then,
2025, the Year of the Snake.
What kind of year
will this year turn out to be?
Since the plans for the year are made on New Year's Day, I thought I would write an article about my resolutions for this year.
I would like to write an article about my resolutions for this year.
As usual,
goalsrather than
guidelinesI will determine the direction in the form of.
Both as an individual,
and as a larger framework.
I would be happy if you could join me.
The Year of the Snake for Resurrection and Rebirth
Snakes have long been considered messengers of the gods,
and are often said to be related to financial luck.
And,
as a broader perspective,
"Resurrection and Rebirth"
"Power of Life"
are treated as symbols of.
The ecology of snakes shedding their skin
and being reborn must also be
related.
In sandplay therapy, which is a form of psychotherapy, children who have no way of knowing the meaning of such snakes,
as a symbol of the "rebirth" of their own wounds,
unconsciously use snakes.
Snakes are, in that sense,
deeply rooted in the human being,
universally ingrained
symbols of "rebirth" and "life."
Furthermore,
the meaning of the snake
is also related to medicine.is also related to medicine.
The symbol of the snake and staff is something used by the WHO and the American Medical Association.
Like Hermes in Greek mythology, it seems to be treated as a symbol of
medicine, commerce, and invention,as well as
intellectual things.as well as
it seems to be treated as such.
Because of that,
a turning point in civilization
a time when historical shifts are likely to occur
is what the Year of the Snake is said to be.
is what the Year of the Snake is said to be.
A year where surprising
shifts might occur.
Also, if we focus only on the sound
hebi (snake),if we focus only on the sound
heis a sound that carries the meaning of a
boundary or edge,is a sound that carries the meaning of a
hiis like fire or sun, necessary for
people to be truly human,and is also a sound that can be called
the foundation of Japan.
Perhaps the sound
hebi carries the meaning of a milestone
for the foundations of Japan and humanity.the sound hebi carries the meaning of a milestone for the foundations of Japan and humanity.
Mi (the snake sign)is a sound that carries the meaning of washing away impurities and
purifying,
like polishing, water, or ritual cleansing.
If things go well, you are purified, but if you remain stagnant like a puddle,
you may rot or become murky.
Therefore,
like flowing water, you must not stay still
but keep moving.
With that as a premise,
I will write down the guidelines for this year.
2025 is a turning point of the era.
Previously,
I wrote an article about
historical cycles.
80-year cycles.
200-year cycles.
There are various theories regarding
how to perceive history.
And,
2024 and 2025 are
periods where various cyclical theories
overlap as milestonesas well.
When you combine that perspective,
there may be parts that overlap withthings like "turning points," "revival and rebirth," and "the power of life."
as well.
I am not the type to believe in
urban legends, but
regarding 2025,
I have heard several people whom I consider
to be interesting
predict "change."
And,
while major changes may be tested,
the flow will tilt in a very good direction
after that,they say.
In that sense as well,
I hope to spend this year keeping
"revival and rebirth" in mind.
My personal vision for the year
I
resigned from my teaching position of 10 years,
and last year was a year of
rising toward a new path.
And,
this year, I have started studying in graduate school,
and I am continuing my work in developmental support part-time,
so I personally think of this as a year to achieve
"revival and rebirth" in the second stage of my career.I
personally think.
Even if various changes occur,
by tenaciously taking root and growing
in this new stage,I will build a foundation for rebirth.
Since resigning from teaching,
although I had a vague sense of
the direction I wanted to go,
I could not decide
which path to clearly follow.
However, starting this year,
the path I will follow has become clear, so
I intend topour my life energy into it,
and achieve revival and rebirth.
That is why, for this year in particular,
I want to value
tenacity and patience, like roots growing deep.
Believing that the roots I have extended will absorb nutrients
and bloom someday.
Summary
In terms of the Chinese zodiac,
the 'Dragon' is also associated with images of dragons and tornadoes,
and it was said that it is a time
when disasters tend to increase.
Indeed,
there were many disasters globally,
and many events that caused heartache.
On the other hand,
personally,
I viewed the dragon as 'rising'
and was able to make it a year that realized that.
In the broad scope of the world,
there may be things that cannot be helped, but
as for personal direction,
depending on 'what I do myself,'
I can change my trajectory as much as I want.
That is how strong
the 'power of thought' is.
By the end of 2025,
so that I can be satisfied and think
that it was a year of 'revival and rebirth',
I want to build this year
by myself.
That is what I am thinking.
Of course,
I am sure I will be supported in various ways
by everyone on note... haha
Once again,
thank you for your continued support
this year.
