The last coming weeks of the end of the year always have a way of flying by. However, I always try my best to make sure I’m being very intentional with my thoughts, actions, and words as we transition to the new year. What energy do you want to propell you forward?
In preparing for Yule, you’re given the perfect opportunity to take into account what really matters and focus on things that make you feel good. Engaging with community, making the best of the cold weather, and aligning with what you’re grateful for does wonders for the soul.
This time of year also pushes you to get creative with new routines and patterns to try out while life is a little quieter. Moving with the seasons, you’re prompted to prioritize rest during the months of winter. I truly encourage you to explore what rest means, and how you can incorporate more restorative practices into your everyday life. Funny enough, this concept gets actualized in the community tarot reading at the bottom of this publication. Another sign to get serious about the important of rest.
I’d like to show you how integrating spellwork into times of hardship can bring harmony to your soul when you need it most…
I’ll be sharing some spellwork in the Inner Circle at the bottom of this newsletter every week until the end of the year to make this time of year easier to navigate. Plus, the community tarot reading marries the lessons of Astrology with tangible cards. This week you’ll see a spell tailored to changing your emotions when you’re in a bad mood.
🌠 Astrology forecast
Dec 15 | How can you speak from the heart?
Full moon in Gemini (4:01 AM EST)
The last full moon of the year approaches, and it’s here to inspire us to relish authentic connection and self-actualization. It’s almost like the moon is saying, “Yes, it’s hard to speak your truth the first time, but let it assimilate into your bones and blood — and watch what happens”.
Saying what’s actually on your mind takes practice and requires layered skills. It’s more than creating boundaries. It’s listening to your heart, intuition, and learning to decipher self-loathing from self-preservation.
It’s time to speak your truth and watch the universe listen to your wants, words, and feelings.
It’s not to say that you’ll be able to manifest something otherworldly. But instead, this full moon wants you to get secure with your wants. Examine what you want your future to look like and get crystal clear with the details. Take the time to align your heart and mind. If you set aside time today to meditate for a few moments on how you can live a more harmonious life, the next steps will be within your reach.
This full moon in Gemini is making you aware of all of the pitfalls, opinions, and ego deaths that need to take place to uplevel your life. It’s about getting comfortable with things that make you uncomfortable and speaking a different reality into existence.
💡Use this lunation as a time to reflect on the last year. Take every example of things you wish you did differently to build a ladder of support to lead you into the year ahead. Find the positive in places where you thought there was no light before, and prepare to adjust accordingly. Make sure those around you are supportive and positively contributing to your life — that you’re not holding onto items, memories, or ideas from other people’s expectations or realities. Remember the only person you need to make proud is yourself.
Dec 15 | Learning that not all failures are negative.
Mercury exits it’s retrograde period (3:56 PM EST)
Mercury is leaving its retrograde period and finally moving forward again! While I feel like this retrograde was kind, it also highlighted a lot of things that need changing. If you were dialed into this transit you’ll notice how the things that felt “impossible” to deal with, were either conquered or made it known they’re not meant for you anymore.
These incoming weeks are going to reflect the lessons you’ve learned or make it glaringly obvious that something needs to change. It’ll be like a final push of sorts. Moving things in your way to show you what needs to change, and the honest conversations you need to be having with yourself and those around you highlighting the how.
💡 The work of this transit is done, and now it’s time to blend all of the hardships into juicy lessons. Mercury retrograde is all about transformation and transconfiguration. You’re being called to take a look at the patterns that have been popping up since November 7th and evaluate what needs to change.
Need insight into how astrological transits will influence your daily life? Look no further! Whether you're new to astrology or a seasoned enthusiast, a natal chart reading is your perfect starting point. Discover how astrology can bring clarity and foresight to your everyday experiences. Let me guide you toward a deeper understanding and peace through the wisdom of the stars.
💚 Weekly favs
Herb highlight 🌿 The Enchanted Beauty Blend from Highgarden Tea is the perfect fruity and floral escape from the wet winter we’ve had in WNC. It’s a little sweet, a little tart, and perfect with a bit of local honey.
On my nightstand 📚 While this author can be a bit controversial, I’m enjoying Financial Sorcery by Jason Miller. It’s useful for folks looking to reframe their relationship with money, and are looking for new ways to work with financial energy. To find in-depth reviews of books I’ve read, let’s connect on Goodreads!
🧄 Homestead highlights
This week is less about our individual homestead and more about a tool we use to plan ahead. I took a chance on a expensive [to me] weather app. I like that it’s fully customizable, and the weather alerts are accurate. It’s saved us mutiple times with rain alerts, and planning outdoor activies.
Our homestead is super susecptable to windstorms, and it’s something we like to be in the know about, so customizing alerts for wind give us some peace of mind. Not to mention how funny the every changing quips are about the weather.
I’m not sponsored by them or anything, it’s the legit the most useful weather app I’ve ever used and I wanted to share it with y’all if you’re a weather-data nerd like me!
