December Energies and the Shift into a New Cycle

As we step into December, the energies are charged with a sense of transition. There’s an unmistakable momentum—a feeling that something significant is both closing and beginning simultaneously. Both would be correct, and for many, this can feel like walking in two worlds at once: the remnants of old cycles linger, while the new vibrates just ahead, ready to unfold. I have absolutely experienced that as we have moved into the final month of this earthly year.

I don’t usually write about energetic weather or astrology, but this month, I feel strongly guided to share. The shifts we’re experiencing are too significant to ignore, and the collective energy carries lessons and opportunities that deserve our attention. This month’s energetic weather encourages reflection, patience, and preparation. If it feels like you’re “almost there” but not quite, you’re not alone. The universe is clearing the decks for a massive new cycle. Let’s explore these energies, how they may show up for you, and what they’re inviting us to learn.

The End of an Era: Closing Out the Old

The current energy is rich with themes of culmination and release. Whether it’s outdated patterns, unresolved connections, or physical clutter in your space, December doesn’t just invite—it demands—you to let go. This might mean physically walking away from a person, place, or situation, or simply surrendering to the flow and trusting your intuition as things unfold. Pay close attention to areas in your life that feel stuck or repetitive—these are likely where the energy of the past is still holding you back.

• Emotional Clutter: Old grievances, fears, or unspoken truths might resurface. These are opportunities for closure, not setbacks. Trust that what comes up now is meant to be released, even if it feels bittersweet.

• Physical Signs of Transition: You might find yourself naturally drawn to declutter, reorganize, or even relocate. These outward shifts mirror internal transformations.

• Soul Lessons: Many of us are grappling with lessons about authenticity, vulnerability, and aligning with our true desires. The energy may feel intense, but it’s helping us shed what no longer serves.

The New Cycle: A Bright Horizon

While the old cycle fades, a new, expansive energy is emerging. The incoming cycle, heavily influenced by the collective energy of Pluto in Aquarius, promises deep transformation and a heightened connection to our inner truths. This is not just another chapter—it’s a new book entirely.

Here’s what makes this new cycle unique:

Heightened Awareness: The energies are demanding honesty—both with ourselves and others. Anything fake, surface-level, or unresolved will feel heavier in this cycle. This is a time for deep, authentic living.

Rapid Manifestation: As we step into this cycle, the universe will amplify what we focus on. Positive intentions will flourish, but unresolved issues (our “hidden goats”) will also intensify if left unchecked.

Emotional Depth: We are being invited to feel and process our emotions more fully, from joy to sorrow. This deeper engagement with life will open doors to profound growth and fulfillment.

Navigating December’s Energies

To make the most of this potent time, consider the following practices:

1. Self-Reflection: Use this time to look inward and identify what still needs healing or closure. If there are unresolved emotions, lingering doubts, or unspoken words, now is the time to address them.

2. Release with Intention: Rituals like journaling, meditating, or even physically cleaning out your space can be powerful ways to signal to the universe that you’re ready to move forward.

3. Patience and Trust: It may feel tempting to rush into the new, but remember that cycles close in their own time. Honor the process and trust that you’ll move forward when the time is right.

4. Set Clear Intentions: As the new cycle begins, clarity is key. What do you truly want? Who do you want to be? The energies are ripe for planting seeds, but they require focus and sincerity.

Themes for December

Justice and Balance: Many of us will see karmic resolutions play out. This energy brings a sense of fairness, but it can also be bittersweet as we realize not everything (or everyone) can come with us into the new.

The Fool’s Leap: December’s energies encourage courage and faith. Even as some paths close, the universe is opening doors to new possibilities. It’s okay to feel hesitant; just don’t let fear stop you from taking that leap.

Hidden Truths: Whether it’s within ourselves or others, December’s energy illuminates what has been hidden. These revelations are opportunities for growth and realignment.


December is a month of profound transitions. As we navigate these energies, remember that it’s okay to feel uncertain or even overwhelmed. The universe is guiding us through a powerful process of release and renewal, preparing us for a cycle that promises greater alignment, joy, and abundance.

Trust in the process, and give yourself permission to move at your own pace. The energy of this month is not about perfection—it’s about progress. Let go of what no longer serves, honor the lessons of the past, and step boldly into the future.

This new cycle is a gift—a chance to create a life that feels deeply authentic and fulfilling. Are you ready to embrace it?

A Message of Faith and Strength

As we prepare to close one cycle and step into the next, remember this: you are more than enough. You are chosen, and the trials you’ve faced are not without purpose. The challenges, delays, and moments of uncertainty are shaping you for something greater, something aligned with divine timing.

Fear nothing. When the enemy comes against you like a flood, trust that a higher power will raise a standard on your behalf. Trust that even in moments when it feels like your prayers are unanswered, when life appears to stall, the Divine is working behind the scenes. Spirit operates outside of time, aligning everything according to the eternal plan for your good.

Patience is key. Sometimes faith can make us look foolish—declaring blessings and walking in belief even when our circumstances appear to worsen. But this is where faith grows strongest. Remember, Spirit uses chaos and trials to elevate us, to push us forward into the life we were destined for. The longer the wait, the greater the blessing being prepared for you.

Don’t despise the pain. Every hardship you’ve endured carries the seed of purpose, not just for you, but for others. Your story, your perseverance, and your faith in the face of adversity will inspire and uplift those around you.

Final Encouragement

As you walk into this new cycle, hold your head high and fear nothing. Surround yourself with people who elevate and inspire you, as your journey is too important to be hindered by negative influences. Be bold, be courageous, and know that no weapon formed against you will prosper.

Your better days are ahead. The worst is behind you. Keep moving forward in faith, knowing that you are chosen, guided, and deeply loved.
