Hi friends! Welcome to my monthly email where I keep you updated on allll the things. I wanted a way to share with you some simple tools to help best move through each month energetically. How I like to do that is via my love of numerology, tarot & astrology. Let's kick off each month feeling in flow, together! 
 
Welcome to your December energetic update!
We made it through the astrological shit storm, guys! But forreal - eclipses likely shifted you in a big way and we now get to have everything settle into place. It all will start making sense, taking form and now we have this month to get rid of any lingering things in the way of our fresh starts. Hopefully you felt the optimism turn on this last week! But it's time to get the ground work done this month as January kicks off with Mercury retro :)
 
We start December in Sagittarius season. This season asks us to take stock of the big picture. What are you putting energy into (people, things, thoughts) that won't matter a year from now? Hell, a month from now? Time to feed the things that will create long term growth towards our dreams and cut out the rest. Sag season asks us to dream bigger, expand beyond our immediate surroundings and knowings and to take risks.
 
On the 21st we move into Capricorn season. This is when we go to work on those big goals and dreams from Sag season and have them take form. Capricorn season asks us to set boundaries, put in the work and get grounded and practical. Do you feel steady and prepared? Are your efforts/work/career aligned with your passions? Do you have structure in your life so that you can dedicate yourself towards what you are wanting to accomplish?
 
December is also the quinticential time to take a moment to reflect on all that you have accomplished this year. It can be easy to think of what didn't get done or be so wrapped up in what's next. But seriously… be proud of yourself. Make a list of everything you've accomplished this year - big or small. Focus on the good stuff. Celebrate. 
 
I am proud of us. 
 
 
Now onto my “Monthly Big 3”…
 
9
 
December is a 9 month in Numerology 
December is a universal 9 month. 9 represents TRANSITION & TRANSFORMATION. It's a time for wrapping up, letting go, making room for the new, conclusions/wishes coming true, spiritual growth, gratitude & forgiveness. 9 is the final number in numerology just like December is the final month of the year - so fitting for assessing what you don't want to take into next year. You could literally clear out physical items from your house - Marie Condo that shit. Physical items hold energy (everything is energy). Keep that living space light and filled with 'good energy' - your external directly impacts the internal - Feng Shui bay bay! But you can also clear out the good ole subconscious - letting go of old behaviors, patterns, beliefs. A time to 'get real' with yourself. What feels like clutter in your life? Whether it's items, people, work, thoughts… release, release, release. You're making room for the things that are more aligned with you! Cut the cords. Create the space.
 
Reminder : saying “Yes” to the wrong things or staying stuck means saying “No” to the right things trying to come through. 
 
Look back at March for similar themes as it was a 9 month too!
February 2023 will also be a 9 month - themes this month will be similar or be added to in February.
 
* For my pros that know their personal numerology year & month - the universal energy is the collective energy that we, as a whole, are feeling. You will feel your personal month more but in blend with the universal month. Or maybe you have it easy like me and are synced with the universal year/month.

The card of the month I pulled for December is the Ten of Cups. Arguably one of the best cards of the deck. It's the card of completion, wholeness, nurturing, happiness, homecomings, fulfillment, emotional stability and security. It is the card that reminds me of feeling blessed. Even our struggles are blessed with growth and take us down new paths. It feels like many of us are getting rewarded after a long emotional journey. Whether for you this card represents an ending or a beginning there is a sense of wholeness coming in. Feeling whole allows us to give support and impact others with our positive energy. This card also represents playfulness and creativity so if any of you are sitting on a creative idea - go for it. You are ready (I need to hear this too about my book haha). Commitment comes through with the Ten of Cups. This could come from you committing to something, relationships taking the next step, new investments, new opportunities at work - they all feel supported. And lastly, this card is fitting for Holiday season as it represents reunions and family. Surround yourself with people that make you feel whole. Or get so grounded that no one can shake you if you tend to get stressed around this time. 
 
If you aren't feeling whole. Let this card be a reminder to adjust your priorities so that you can start pouring into the cups that will support wholeness. I recently watched Jonah Hill's documentary, Stutz, on Netflix and they broke it down really simply - think of a pyramid with three sections: at the base, your body/health. The center, your connections to others, friends, relationships. The top, connection to your inner self / subconscious needs. Which one feels a little neglected? Start there!
 
This card feels like getting engulfed in love. Take a moment and visualize this energy surrounding you. Feel this warmth. Carry this frequency around and see how people respond to you. It's infectious (ope! poor word choice for flu season!).
