Are you ready to start the final month of 2022? It is a bit hard for me to believe that we are getting ready to close out 2022. It was a huge year of transitions for me as I watched my daughter graduate high school and start college and my son started high school. It’s definitely been an emotional journey for me as I have been working to adapt to all the changes in my life. It’s also been an incredibly good year. We are all in good health and things are going good well and for that, I am very grateful.
As we move into the holiday season, I have a sense of calm, and I love that honestly. Usually, this time of year, I feel so much pressure from fast-paced energy, and this year I feel like that chaotic energy came in much earlier and it followed us through the end of September and all through October. This month things have been shifting, and I do love the sense of peace and calm that is moving in around us. I could use a peaceful holiday, how about you? It just feels a lot better. Things feel manageable and enjoyable. That chaotic energy of the unknown seems to have finally moved away from us.
This is a wonderful time of year to really enjoy your loved ones, family, friends, and those amazing fur babies. Here in New England, the weather has been incredibly unpredictable. I’ve been grabbing the warm days to go outside, and on the colder days, I’ve really had the desire to just hang out in my house and make some veggies in the oven. We’ve been having a lot of baked squash! I love making them with stuffing and/or cheese and nuts. That calming cottage energy is something that I’ve definitely been seeking this year. While I’m sure this month will go by quickly, I am hoping that for many of us, we can just enjoy the quiet, magickal moments that December and the Winter Solstice can bring.
Let’s take a look at some of the things we have coming our way this month.
December 7 – Full Long Night’s Moon
December 8 – Mars at Opposition
December 13/14 – Geminids Meteor Shower
December 17 – Saturnalia, Today we honor the Roman God Saturn.
December 21 – Yule, Winter Solstice
December 21, 22 – Ursids Meteor Shower
December 23 – Celtic Tree month of Birch begins.
December 23 – New Moon
December 25 – Feast of Frau Holle, Germanic goddess

Many of you are going to find a lot of clarity this month, and this information is going to make it so much easier for you to navigate the month. Perhaps this is a bit of the sense of calm that I am sensing. It’s so much easier to navigate life when things are easier to figure out. It’s that sense of knowing that even if challenges come your way, you’ve got things under control. This energy is going to help you to get things done. So if you have things that you need to wrap up… (I know lol ) you will find this energy helps.
Have an amazing month!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
