Wrapping Up the Year

December arrives with a blend of softness and fire — a month that asks us to release, renew, and rise into ourselves with more truth than before. The energy feels like clearing the mind and opening the heart at the same time, shedding old stories while reaching toward new horizons. There is movement, there is magic, and there is a sense of clarity returning after a long stretch of internal rewiring. This month holds space for both reflection and expansion — a final exhale of the year before we step into what’s next.

From the Full Moon in Gemini to the dreamy clarity of Neptune going direct, to the sacred threshold of the Winter Solstice and Capricorn season — December offers us invitations rather than demands. Invitations to grow, to trust, to dream, to speak, and to plant what we hope to build. We are closing out the year with vision, with intuition, and with a deeper understanding of what truly matters.

Dec 4th | Full Moon in Gemini

Full moons are our monthly moment of release — a gentle but powerful chance to let go of what isn’t supporting our growth anymore. With this Full Moon shining in Gemini, the energy is centered around the mind. Communication, clarity, honesty with ourselves and others… this is where we’re being guided to look.

Gemini invites us to clear out the mental fog, the looping thoughts, the stories we’ve carried for too long. This moon feels like a breath of fresh air — like opening a window in a room that’s been closed off. What happens when you let truth in? What shifts when you speak from the heart instead of fear?

This lunation asks us to be more clear, more direct, and more honest with what we feel and what we need. No more minimizing your emotions. No more sugarcoating your voice. No more pretending confusion is safer than clarity.

Dec 10th | Neptune Retrograde Ends

The fog is finally lifting. Neptune moving direct feels like waking up from a long, slow dream and realizing the symbols actually meant something all along. During its retrograde, we’ve been swimming through deeper emotional waters, sorting through illusions, old patterns, and parts of ourselves we weren’t quite ready to face. Now, with Neptune shifting forward, the energy clears — gently, but noticeably.

This is where inspiration starts flowing again. Spiritual messages feel easier to understand, intuitive nudges land with more clarity, and those dreams or long-term visions you’ve been holding suddenly feel more possible… more real. It’s like the universe is saying, “Okay, now you can see the path again.”

This transit brings a beautiful moment to reconnect with your inner guidance, trust your intuition, and ground your dreams into something tangible. What once felt blurry or out of reach may now feel aligned, supported, and ready to take its next step in the physical world.

Dec 11th | Mercury Enters Sagittarius and Trines Neptune

Mars stepping into Sagittarius brings a spark of motivation that feels like fresh air after stillness. Sagittarius energy wants movement, adventure, expansion, and truth — and Mars, the planet of action, loves having something to chase. This transit encourages boldness rooted in purpose rather than impulse. You may feel more inspired to take risks, dream bigger, try new paths, or say yes to what once felt too far away. It’s the kind of fire that reminds you you’re meant to live widely, not quietly.

When Mars forms a trine with Neptune shortly after, that passion becomes spiritualized — desire aligned with intuition, action fueled by vision. This is where inspiration meets momentum. Dreams don’t just float in the mind; they find legs. You may feel more connected to your inner compass, more trusting of divine timing, more ready to move with faith rather than fear. It’s a beautiful blend of fire and water, courage and softness, confidence and surrender — forward movement that is guided from the soul, not the ego.

Dec 19th | New Moon in Sagittarius

A powerful planting moment. The New Moon in Sagittarius opens a fresh doorway — a widening of the path, a breath of excitement, a pull toward what’s possible rather than what’s familiar. This lunation feels like standing at the edge of a horizon you’ve never seen before, knowing something new is calling you forward. It’s a time to plant the seeds for new adventures, new beliefs, new dreams, and new ways of understanding the world around you.

Sagittarius energy reminds us that faith can be a compass. This New Moon encourages you to dream big, trust bigger, and allow your curiosity to lead the way. You may feel drawn to expand spiritually, explore truth more deeply, or step toward a vision that once felt too wild to hold. This is initiation energy — the spark before the journey, the moment the arrow is pulled back before release. Plant with intention. Dream without restraint. Let your soul choose its direction, not your fear.

Dec 21st | Capricorn Season and Winter Solstice

As Capricorn season arrives alongside the Winter Solstice, the energy deepens and shifts. This is a quiet but powerful threshold — the longest night of the year, where the light begins its slow return. The Solstice has long been known as one of the most magical points in the wheel of the year, a moment where the veil feels thinner, intuition is sharper, and our connection to the unseen opens with ease. There’s renewal here, but not loud or rushed. This is the magic of slow growth, internal change, the kind of transformation that roots itself before it rises. Capricorn reminds us of our long-term path: the goals that take time, the foundations that require patience, and the legacy we’re shaping simply by showing up.

Solstice energy amplifies this grounded focus. It asks us to think about what we’re building — not just for the next month, but for the next chapter of our lives. What are you working toward that feels meaningful and lasting? Where are you being called to commit, structure, repair, or rebuild?

This season invites us to take ourselves seriously in the most loving way, to honor discipline and devotion as spiritual acts. Step forward with clarity, with purpose, and with the quiet knowing that slow growth is still growth — and sometimes the most powerful kind. The magic of the Solstice reminds us that even in the dark, light is on its way back.

As we move through December and toward the new year, may this season bring you clarity, inspiration, and a gentle reminder of your own magic. May your holidays be filled with warmth, love, and moments that light up your soul. Here’s to releasing what no longer serves, embracing new possibilities, and stepping into the coming year with intention, joy, and a heart wide open. Wishing you a truly magical holiday season and a bright, beautiful New Year!
