Hello dear community.
This past month, I've done my best to practice what I preach and granted myself compassion. A loss occurred in the family and I was unable to bring myself to write November's forecast. I hope you all have been well, and if not, that you have been taking care of yourselves. One of the hardest lessons we can learn is to give ourselves the grace that we would give others. For some of us, December will be an exciting month full of holiday celebrations. For others, it can be a painful reminder of who or what we no longer have. No matter where you are, I send big hugs. I hope you enjoy the Thanksgiving and December general reading below.
Energy of the Month: Ace of Pentacles ~Money by the Drums~
This is the month to recognize and step into your role as creator. Envision all your dreams, goals and ideals in their fullest detail. Now, envision what it might take to support that lifestyle, by means of your own creations and actions. It should be something that brings you a sense of wholeness and supports, rather than diminishes, your will. How can you exercise greater power over your life? If things are less than ideal, it is perfectly fine to start from scratch (from square one) at any time.
Love: Reverse Devil ~Lost in Yesterday by Tame Impala~ ~Bad Habits by eydrey~
In order to start from scratch, it is important to cultivate the skill of letting something go. This is not to say we have to throw an entire relationship away if something is not working out (this would be a last resort solution to turn to only if there is no other way to protect and honor yourself and your needs). Rather, we are looking to let go of unhealthy attachments or habits in order to make a breakthrough. Perhaps in a relationship you find yourself turning to escapist tendencies such as drinking, smoking, or other outlets in order to avoid having real conversations about needing to uphold certain boundaries or to avoid expressing things that you are afraid to delve into with your partner (or yourself!) The key here is not judge yourself harshly for your tendencies but rather to have heartfelt compassion for the root of your shadows. It is important to have our shadows accepted and understood, for to be human is to be flawed. Nevertheless, if we want to be free then we should look into where we are feeling tied or bound, and seek this opportunity to bring positive change by seeking habits that are helpful for your inner psyche. If you can detach from dependence on these tendencies, you can find greater joy in intentional habits and activities. Cord cutting is a helpful exercise to get you started, as well as meditation.
Money: 8 of Wands ~new body rhumba by LCD Soundsystem~
By what means can you achieve the energy of the month, that is, the manifestation of the coin? What actions will you take in order to achieve mastery of finances and to accomplish your ideal life and lifestyle? This is the month to dislodge yourself from belief systems that keep you stuck in regards to money. Taking new actions could lead you in new directions. Follow your passions and make them come alive. Enter a state of flow and purposeful direction. Lean into your work ethic and grit that makes realities come alive.
Work: 10 of Wands ~Indian Summer by the Doors~
Find the work that you love best (better than all the rest). This isn't a naive and immature love, but one that you've developed throughout seasons of hardship. It's the passion you always had, deeping deep within your heart. The rediscovery and self-excavation that you've had over the years only to find what you've had all along. The fire within is the work that you want to commit to, the work that will sustain you again and again. It makes you feel complete because it lights you up and animates you in a way that nothing else could. It is that which, if you looked upon the totality of your life, you would proudly say was your life's work.
Health: The Empress ~Feeling Good by Nina Simone~
This month you act as the Empress in your approach to and embodiment of health. You will be called to take actions towards increasing your health (this could be enrolling in a gym, starting a new routine, making healthier meals, joining a coop, etc). You'll also be looking to nurture your health. For example, you may feel like making comforting soups, bundling yourself up, drinking warm healthy teas, and getting plenty of sleep. Another energy that will come forward is to come up with an intellectual plan and approach to reach your health ambitions. This could involve drawing up a new routine and finding ways to track your progress, keeping a health log or diary, looking at numbers such as how many reps or sets you want to reach, etc. You'll also want to look for ways that you can prioritize some of your finances towards health, for example shifting some of your budget so you can take on a monthly subscription, hire a personal trainer, or join a gym class. All these aspects within yourself will be called to work together in a caring way to promote your healthiest, happiest self.
Spirit: Justice ~Respect by Aretha Franklin~
Your spirit feels fulfilled by the energy of Justice. This is the side of you that recognizes the law of balance, and that for every action there is a consequence. There is an element of fairness here which you seek in taking into account both sides of a story, but also an element of accountability. Your intuition is strong this month in regards to Justice. Your feet are firmly grounded, your head is held high, and your eyes are clear. Your heart is strong and protected. It is balanced by intellectual decision making. Your conscience is clear and you are confident in your choices. Justice is your domain. You have acquired a mastery of making cuts, protecting boundaries, of expression, and making the right calls.
Just as each moon is an opportunity to enter a new cycle, each month represents its own cycle. The month of December is a wonderful opportunity to clear out any harmful habits and end the year on a strong, clean note. You can restructure habits and ways you support yourself with refreshed energy and zeal. You have a strong hold of your vision and now you can take new actions to create that which you envision. The energy you create in December will carry you into the new year, and you'll be able to start 2023 with a strong, healthy energy.
Blessings,
Angel Intentions
