This December is a gift. There is so much change happening in the first half of 2025, with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Chiron, and Neptune all changing signs. But before that happens, it's nice to have this month to relax, refocus, and recalibrate. 

December is our fresh start. It’s all about looking to the future. We’ve been through some stuff this year and more changes are coming. December is our opportunity to think about who we want to be as we move forward.  

With Mercury currently retrograde and Mars going retrograde on Friday, this is the time to slow down and reevaluate our beliefs and long-term goals before we move forward.

When Mars is moving forward we feel it externally by taking action in our external lives. When Mars is retrograde, its effects are more internal, psychological, and emotional.

During this transit, we focus on what’s happening internally, it’s our chance to get our shit together, and prioritize our mental and emotional wellness, so we are ready for what comes next.

Mars Retrograde can make us feel sluggish and we may not have much motivation. It can feel like hitting the pause button, but this is all part of the recalibration process.

One of the things that makes this December so magical is its numerology. In numerology, December is an 11 Universal Month. 11 is one of numerology’s “Master Numbers.”

A master number 11 month is about our spirituality. Our intuition is on point, and we feel connected, to ourselves and spirit. We know why we are here this lifetime and understand our purpose. This month is a time for deep self-reflection and alignment with your life purpose.

The energy of 11 can feel intense because of the inner & spiritual work we’re doing so it’s important to stay grounded, and give yourself time to just be and let the universe do its thing.

This December is truly a gift. The energy this month helps us to slow down, take stock of our lives, realign with what truly matters, and get back in balance. Think of this month as a sacred pause.
