Welcome, December 2023!
This month, we may feel and experience the connecting energies of your previous incarnations as you expand the possibilities of regeneration in your body. And we can’t forget the most important thing this month will bring… Miracles. This is a prime opportunity to connect with your fellow Soul tribe members, and doing so may help you in your learning experience.
Below, I’ve attached two of my favorite stories about the power of miracles so you can read them at your leisure:
- A personal story involving a hospital stay and a close encounter of the first kind with Santa: https://elysianlifedesign.wordpress.com/2018/12/01/the-day-i-met-santa/
- “A Winter’s Tale” – while not classified as a Holiday Classic (yet), it has all the key elements, a battle of light and dark, a fated love story, and a really good miracle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzomDNgbKU4
Whatever this month brings, remember where you need a miracle, whether it’s in health, love, finances, family, or finding your purpose, reach out this month and grab it, and don’t let go. All you have to do is believe and you will get more divine support than you could ever imagine. Even if the miracle doesn’t play out how you thought it would, it will be the miracle you need. Embrace the wonder of the season and celebrate all this month has to offer. Let go and release what you don’t want to deal with anymore and let your purpose surprise you as it does for Peter Lake in “A Winter’s Tale.”
This month’s playlist will help you be open to miracles unfolding in your daily life. Listening to this playlist will help you energetically process the frequencies of the month in a fun way, as I have added some energy healing and support directly into the music.
For those of you who are looking for some Holiday vibe healing this month, you may enjoy our Holiday Playlist.
I have had a lot of time to ponder over these past twelve months. I felt a little hesitant going into this year for many reasons, but I didn’t really have another option. For many of us, this has been a year of facing uncomfortable things that some of us didn’t want to deal with, and then making different choices and decisions than we previously would have. We moved into a time where we started checking in with our hearts and hopefully listening to what felt right for us to do.
I feel it is safe to say that the last few years have been rough for many of us. There were some challenging astrological transits and the clearing of stubborn energies in the midst of a great, worldwide collective shift. But that is when we enter the 11th Universal Law of Rhythm. Cycles are a natural part of the Universe. Physically, you can see this rhythm in the seasons on Earth. In our own lives, we can remember that integrating the body into the rhythm is just as important as growth.
This year, we were asked to take note of our inner rhythms and try to work with them instead of fighting them. Going into this year, you may have had a thought about what you were going to work on and then learned that your plans were completely different than what the Universe had in store for you. But, remember, even though it may seem like the Universe is out to get you, it isn’t. We all face different challenges, setbacks, and illnesses because they will either help us grow and expand or help us see and learn about areas in our lives that need attention or those we were either ignoring or avoiding. Here are some things I learned this year:
- Always be grateful for the experience you receive each new day, even when it is difficult to appreciate in the moment.
- Different people will have different options based on what they know, but it is so important to do what feels right for you in your heart.
- It is okay to have fun again and to allow your inner child to feel safe again.
- Laughter is the greatest medicine EVER!
- This too really will pass.
It is important to spend a little time reflecting on the last year and all you experienced and learned along the way because you wouldn’t be this version of yourself without the past year. Honor your journey and the path your soul chooses to walk and remember that you are never truly walking your path alone. Be grateful for what you have, but never give up on what you feel is part of your life mission here on this beautiful Earth we have been gifted and where we can experience the bravest thing of all…LIFE!
The Universe shifts this month as the asteroid Chiron, and the planets Jupiter, Neptune, and Uranus are in Retrograde as we begin December. The good news is that most of these Retrogrades will once again move direct as Neptune moves direct on December 6th,Chiron on December 26th, and lastly, Jupiter on December 30th. But just when you thought it was safe to step out into the world, Mercury goes retrograde one last time this year in the sign of Capricorn on December 13th and goes direct on January 1st, 2024. This will surely bring some positive changes for all as hope and optimism are restored throughout the world.
Here are some other essential things to be on the lookout for this month:
December 12th – New Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere. This new moon conjuncts Mars and provides an energy boost and a sense of excitement. It’s the perfect time to plan for future success.
December 13th/14th – Geminids Meteor Shower
The Geminids shower is the king of the meteor showers. It is considered by many to be the most spectacular shower in the heavens, producing up to 120 multi colored meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by debris left behind by an asteroid known as 3200 Phaethon, which was discovered in 1982. The shower runs annually from December 7th to 17th. It peaks this year on the night of the 13th and the morning of the 14th. This should be a great year for the Geminids. The nearly new moon means dark skies for what should be an excellent show. The best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. If you view one meteor shower this year, this is the one to watch!
December 21st – Winter Solstice
The South Pole of the Earth will be tilted toward the Sun, which will have reached its southern most position in the sky and will be directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.44 degrees south latitude, once again welcoming back the light with the yearly celebration of the return of the Sun. This is a truly powerful day and one of the Miracles of this time of year. You should expect to feel confidence and joy flowing through you. Some may even start being open to asking for help when they need it as the Sun and Jupiter make an interesting aspect. This is the first day of winter (winter solstice)in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of summer (summer solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere.

December 21st/22nd – Ursids Meteor Shower
The Ursids is a minor meteor shower producing about 5-10 meteors per hour. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Tuttle, which was first discovered in 1790. The shower runs annually from December 17th to25th. It peaks this year on the night of the 21st and the morning of the 22nd. The waxing gibbous moon will block out most of the faintest meteors this year, but if you are patient, you should still be able to catch a few good ones.
December 26th – Full Moon in Cancer
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This full moon will provide you with the sweetest Holiday gift of the year with its enchanting vibes. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Cold Moon because this is the time of year when the cold winter air settles in and the nights become long and dark. This moon has also been known as the Long Nights Moon and the Moon Before Yule.
“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.” – Thomas Merton
