Energy Update December 2023 – Welcome to this space of the magazine. The one you connect with each month. The moon, the sun. Your spiritual being.
This is an invitation for you to set intentions and reflect throughout the month of December at key moments that punctuate the solar and lunar cycles – a form of soul nourishment.
Have courage, dear heart… This is a month for the Sun and the Moon. Grab a cup of tea (or coffee), your journal, and an open mind.
Let us get started.
SUN in Sagittarius and Capricorn
November 22nd – December 21st:
Sagittarius: the explorer. The seeker. Always curious. Driven by big questions. Independent. Freedom.
A time to ask those questions of “Why am I here.” It is about going on new quests. Always having great ideas. A period of higher learning and expansion of the mind. Traveling and loving freedom. Go abroad!
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, which is all about this optimism to begin again and expand.
The shadow of Sagittarius is there is a risk of never being satisfied. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- Who am I?
- How do I navigate life?
December 22 – January 19:
Capricorn: the intuitive, the grounded. Thriving in a hospitable environment. The blend of our spiritual self and the earthly experience.
Capricorn also has the ability to make sense of the complex moving parts. What do you need to make sense of right now? What needs to be defined in your life? It is time to explore this as we have a New Year with new goals and intentions.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is putting an emphasis on what is earned over time, such as achievements, recognitions or authority.
The shadows of Capricorn are the tendency to be relentlessly driven, lost in the material world and overly serious.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What makes me feel grounded?
- What needs to make sense in my life right now?

The time to surrender.
Scorpio Intention + Virgo Moon = Water + Earth element connection.
Sagittarius Intention + Virgo Moon = Fire + Earth element connection.
Virgo is the yin. The being. It connects to the element of Earth.

Sagittarius is the Yang. The doing. It connects to the element of Fire.
The energy of Sagittarius is inviting you to expand your worldview. Go through that path less traveled. Call in deep into the life of the unknown.

This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the first Quarter Moon, you take inspired action towards the plans you have created.
Sagittarius Intention + Pisces Moon = Fire + Water element connection.
Pisces is a yin sign. The being. It connects with Water. The connection to our feelings and our intuitive wisdom. Creative, dreamy, flowy.
The principle of unity. Unity coming from those two fish in the sign. They come together and help us to go deep into the water to see what is emerging.
It is a beautiful time for healing. Go into deep meditation and embrace love and compassion. Take a journal and a pen.

Cancer is all about yin; it is cardinal and is a water sign. Yin is all about divine feminine, and water is about embracing our emotions. The sign of cancer represents nourishment and feeling safe; it is a nurturer.
Cancer is all about the softness and feminine parts of the body, so look after those parts. This is a time for nourishment. What self-care rituals can you embrace at this time?
The Full Moon invites you to embrace the need to improve it all and just let it be. Take a journal and a pen.
