As we move toward the darkest day of the year, we enter a time of quiet potency.
December invites stillness, contemplation and courageous self reflection. In the depth of winter, the internal world becomes a fertile landscape for transformation. What we tend to within this silence has the potential to shape the cycles that come next.

The Full Moon in Gemini on December 4 offers illumination. It brings awareness to the layers of familial and societal conditioning woven into our neural patterning. This is not to judge or reject them, but to meet them with curiosity. We are invited to rewrite our inner narrative so it becomes more empowering and aligned with our truth. As you move through this moon, consider gently: What stories am I carrying, and how are they shaping my present experience?

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 19 calls in movement. Like an arrow drawn inward before release, this moon helps us orient our energy toward what we most deeply desire. It is a moment to rekindle inner fire and choose direction from a place of sovereignty.

December 21 marks Winter Solstice. In the Wiccan tradition, known as Yule, it is the darkest day of the year. In this sacred pause between contraction and expansion, a spark of light is born. The Solstice reminds us that even in stillness, renewal is happening beneath the surface. There is hope here. A quiet promise of brighter days to come.

This season is not a push forward. It is a deep exhale in preparation for becoming.
