December’s Full Moon, Solstice flame, and the quiet turning of inner light.✨🌙
Dear Soulfire Traveler,
Do you feel the year softly breathing in? December opens like a doorway into stillness.
Not empty, not silent—just slower, softer, more intentional. This is the month when the edges blur, intuition sharpens, and the inner world grows bright enough to see what we’ve been carrying.
“When the year breathes in, the world grows quiet enough for truth to surface.”
Three celestial thresholds shape this final bend of the year:
🌕Full Moon in Gemini — December 4
🌕New Moon in Capricorn — December 20
🌕Winter Solstice — December 21
Each one offers a different kind of guidance.
Full Moon in Gemini — December 4
This moon carries the hum of restless clarity. Gemini illuminates the thoughts you’ve been turning over quietly—ideas, questions, truths waiting for expression.
It’s a moon of connection:
connection between thoughts, between perspectives, and between the outer story of your year and the inner one.
A simple reflection for this time:
🌕What needs to be spoken, written, or acknowledged before the year turns?
This Full Moon supports the energy for gentle mental clearing, an opportunity to let scattered thoughts settle into meaning.
New Moon in Capricorn — December 20
Where Gemini stirs the mind, Capricorn steadies the ground beneath your feet.
This New Moon invites commitment—not in the pressured, resolution-based way, but a quieter commitment to what truly matters. It encourages boundaries, devotion, and the start of something steady.
It also opens the energetic threshold into the Solstice.
This is a beautiful moment to ask:
🌕What wants to begin slowly, devotionally, and with intention?
Winter Solstice — December 21
The longest night of the year is not an ending.
It’s the first spark of returning light.
Solstice is the still point in the wheel, where contemplation deepens and the inner voice grows clearer. It’s the pause where intentions root before they rise.
A practice for Solstice:
🌕Light a candle.
🌕Take three slow breaths.
🌕Whisper a single word that feels like the energy you want to meet the light with.
🌕Sit in quiet for a moment and let that word settle.
A Personal Turning
This season brings a threshold for me as well.
I’ve felt a shift in my own creative rhythm—something steady, something devoted—gathering in the dark of these quieter months.
For the past year, I’ve been shaping a way of walking with lunar and seasonal cycles that’s helped me anchor my own life in gentler rhythms. It’s been a private practice… until now.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more about this project that’s inviting me to stretch beyond my comfort zone and meet my own courage with a softer heart.
In many ways, it feels like my Solstice flame:
small, steady, and ready to be shared.
Walk gently into the dark—
the returning light already knows your name.
