Welcome to December; the final month of 2024! We made it to this moment and have overcome many challenges. We've learned so much about ourselves and our outer worlds this year; now is the perfect time to reflect on what has been accomplished so you can move into the new year with greater clarity.
We're being asked to assess, prioritize, and let go; assess what's important, make that a priority, and let go of the rest. This will be a major theme in the coming Year 9 (2025); whatever you don't release will be released for your best and highest good.
As well, we need to trust that our Spirit Guides are taking the lead on a lot of the energetic work--working behind the scenes to deliver the answers to our prayers. There are many changes taking place within us and all around us, preparing us for a new cycle. Spirit is adding the finishing touches this December before we can be completely done with the cycles we are being asked to release. Furthermore, Spirit assures that Divine compensation is on the way; we are all reaping what we have sown this year. This month we will be seeing further evidence of this.
Affirmation: "I keep my eyes on the prize".
Inner
We might be feeling more emotionally activated this month. As our bodies get closer to the Winter Solstice, they are also preparing for a state of 'hibernation', just like all of nature does. You might be feeling more tired, sensitive, and in-need of greater comfort. Your current emotional state might even be causing you confusion; you might have a hard time making decisions. You could also be prone to making mountains out of molehills because Lunar energy is very influential at this time.
We had a New Moon in Sagittarius on the 1st, will have a Full Moon in Gemini on the 15th, and another New Moon in Capricorn right at the end of December, on the 30th; a "Black" Moon. This Black Moon will be a rare and auspicious occurrence. This month is ripe with magical energy for the taking, if you are up for it. Because we'll be extra activated this month, you may not be feeling like your 100% self, and that's OK. There's a lot of inner power rising; your dreams and Divine downloads may be potent this month so definitely write things down. Pay attention to the signs and messages received from Spirit.
Outer
While all of the internal shifts are taking place, don't forget that Mercury is also retrograding until the 15th, with a shadow period until the end of the month. So be aware that all December long you may feel a little weird or "off"; take your time with everything this month. Take things slow and steady so you don't lose your footing.
Things are going to get better and better for you, especially as you reap all the good karma and hard work you've sowed this year, but the Devil loves to lay traps to trip us up. Some of the people around us may not be so fortunate in the blessings department, and they may not be too keen on hearing how good things are going for you. It's better to lay low for now. Share your good news and accomplishments in the new year once the energies are more settled; don't count your chickens before they hatch.
As well, don't rush into anything new if at all possible. Anyone trying to rush you into making a decision is not helping you--they may just be looking out for themselves. A slow and steady pace will help you win the race.
P.S: Make a wish on the Black Moon on the 30th; it may be granted sooner than you think!
