Greetings Mystiks!
It’s kind of crazy that we are already at the precipice of a new year. How are you feeling these days, approaching this Solstice? [Comment below]
In Western society, we are called to make goals, resolutions, and plans in the dead of winter. & if you're feeling the pressure, you're not alone.
Here are some of my takes on the notion of this Gregorian New Year:
❌ This is NOT the time to recreate yourself.
❌This is not the time to manifest a new reality.
Although you can - because every day is an opportunity to live differently.
But we cannot force ourselves to make huge shifts when Earth actually becomes silent in the Northern Hemisphere.
✅ Bears dwell in their caves.
✅ Foxes move into their dens.
✅ Eagles nest in the mountains.
Of course, we can still make moves.
But there is something beautiful about retreat. About nourishing oneself even more profoundly than the rest of the year.
Because let’s face it - this has been quite the year of the snake.
Many of us have shed identities, moved from one expression to the next, left jobs, partners, situations we've outlived.
Or perhaps this is what we are faced with at this time.
Liminal spaces make us uncomfortable because we are in the unknown, but the more we take the time to rest and integrate, the easier it is to bring clarity into our daily lives.
So, as people start making "goals" for the new year, I ask you to celebrate what has happened in 2025. Learn from your mistakes. Listen to your body. Allow yourself ease and grace during this time.
And if you're anxious to see what 2026 holds for you, I have a few spots left for my 2026 Year Ahead Reading. I break down each month's energy with grounded counsel to navigate your personal year. I've done a few already, and they have been very beautiful and insightful for my clients! I'll make sure to write some more before the year ends, and remember our LAST SDM circle is on Dec. 30th! See you then!
xx, Dee
