Whether you have a Christian background or honor the pagan Winter Solstice, December is a month of acknowledging these special occasions. Energetically, this month is usually considered the apex of the year with activations and upgrades coming up on the full moon of the seventh, the 12-12 Gateway and of course the solstice on the 21st , and this IS turning out to be a powerful month. Some of this energy is connected to solar activity and is definitely measurable, and some of it like on the 6th, as I’m writing this is unmeasurable, but definitely discernible by empaths.
These influxes of energy help us move into higher timelines and release all that do not serve us. The full Moon in Gemini is in some ways an echo of the energy from the eclipse earlier this fall. It brings back the issues that showed up at that time, especially issues of conflict and communication, encouraging us to revisit anything that needs resolving.
Gemini has a strong emphasis on evaluation and looking at all sides of the story, but it’s important not to get stuck in overthinking things. The aspect of Gemini as well as having a focus on communication, reflects the dual aspect of the twins themselves, the utterly vulnerable, imperfect human and the perfect divine essence of ourselves. Reflecting the energy of the twins, December is also a celebration of all the ups and downs of the year, a time to reflect on all these blessings and lessons, to know how you’ve grown into an even fuller more empowered expression of your divine self.
In reflecting, it’s tempting to set a high threshold of perfection for yourself, but take this idealism and let go of the self-criticism and move into self-acceptance. We are all growing and processing and it’s up to us to give ourselves a huge dose of self-love as we move into a neutral space of openness in this portal of divine love that is opening in the vortex of the full moon on December 7th, the 12-12 gateway and the incredible crucible of change that is the Winter Solstice.
The astrology of this month is also ushering in the opportunity to release all grudges and frustrations from any personal relationships this year. An act of self-love, forgiving is transformational, but having clear boundaries is also wise. Sometimes life brings the beautiful synchronicity of beautiful connections, close friendships and other times we see our friends and family drifting off as they play out different pathways and lessons as their soul chooses. This can feel painful when it brings misunderstandings and unkind words are exchanged. Hopefully, others will forgive our missteps on our journey. Send them love, no judgment for we all have our moments, and let go. For on our side, ultimately, it is up to us to choose to observe and acknowledge these memories or ongoing situations and to release them into the White Flame of the Diamond Crystalline crucible of the Winter Solstice.
Take a few minutes and do this in meditation as you connect into the incoming energy and accelerate your pathway for 2023. Life brings many amazing surprises and by releasing anything that is lesser than our highest path, we are opening our hearts to the year of miracles!
Blessings to you for a transformative full moon, 12-12 gateway, Winter Solstice and Christmas!
Namaste,
Christine
