The Gateway

The Lynx´s Path - Chapter 2

The first dawn of 2025 broke quietly. The man sat cross-legged on a meditation mat by his window, the pale sunlight filtering through frost-covered glass. In his hands, he held a small journal—a new book for a new year. He wrote:

“Day 1: The journey begins. I walk through the gateway of the year, uncertain but open.”

His Rising Sagittarius urged him to step boldly into the unknown, but his Moon Pisces whispered of the need for compassion—for himself and the journey. He lit a candle, its flame steady in the quiet room, and offered a silent prayer to the elements. Earth for grounding. Air for clarity. Fire for transformation. Water for intuition.

As the day unfolded, he took his first intentional step: a mindful walk in the woods near his home. The air was sharp with winter’s bite, but the trees stood tall and serene, their bare branches weaving patterns against the pale sky. It was here he felt her—the lynx. Though unseen, her presence was palpable, guiding his steps with a quiet certainty.

By evening, he sat with his natal chart, reflecting on the energies that had shaped him. The Earth Dragon of his birth year and the Wood Dragon of 2025 danced together in his mind—a balance of grounding and growth. He meditated on the dragon’s message: “You are both the flame and the root. Burn brightly, but stay connected to the earth.”

But now, as the year turned toward its end, those vibrations became a quiet roar. He had always known his spiritual guide, the female lynx, as a watchful presence in his life—a creature of sharp vision and profound silence. In the waning days of December, her presence grew stronger. On the morning of the winter solstice, as the year began its slow exhale, he dreamt of her clearly for the first time in years. In the dream, the lynx stood atop a rocky outcrop, her golden eyes fixed on him. Around her, the stars of the night sky spun, their patterns forming images he knew but could not name. The wheel of the year turned in her eyes, and when she finally blinked, her voice entered his mind—not as words but as a knowing. “You must ...
