Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hi, everyone, It's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions.
We are going to dive into the energy in December.
We are closing out the year. I can't believe we
are wrapping up and winding this year down, and yet
I can believe it, and I'm here for it. I
hope you are. I want you to remember that we
(00:32):
are not only in a nine year we are closing
out tremendous waves of energy. Not only are we closing
out a nine year cycle, We're coming to the end
of an actual calendar year. There have been tremendous energetic
shifts that we've all been experiencing. So yes, December creates
(00:56):
a tremendous amount of closure. Yet or paradoxically, at the
same time, it's like a seed point, so there's opportunity
to shed and let go while also intentionally anchoring in
what it is that you are stepping into in twenty
(01:18):
twenty six and as twenty twenty six starts to gain
energy and momentum. And I'm going to jump into the
numerology and I'm going to do the astrology in two parts,
So I'm going to cover the first half of December.
December first through the fifteenth, and then we will follow
up with the second half of December because there are
(01:39):
some energetic signatures astrologically that shift the second half of
the month. So I'm going to focus this month on
the first part of the month and the numerology and
some of the themes that I want to touch on
that keep rising to the surface for me personally and
as I tap been energetically and collectively, and then also
(02:03):
with other people I'm communicating with. One of those themes
is dignity, and that word keeps coming up in conversations
in my meditations. And while the energy of the nine
in numerology is truly about wisdom and closure, innate leadership,
(02:26):
and ultimately the path of integrity, the word dignity keeps
coming up. And this year, if you take a little
bit of time to reflect, review, look at your journey
this year and what you've learned through your experiences, how
(02:47):
they have grown you, what has been molded within you,
what truths have been rising to the surface for you.
There's something very dignified in this energy, meaning shoulders back,
chin up, and feeling a nw sense of sovereignty or
(03:08):
authority within yourself, a deeper truth I talked to a
client yesterday and she said something so wise and articulate.
She was talking about her work and her profession and
for the last couple of years she's just kind of
struggled in where she is and what she does professionally,
and if it's for her, it's you know, her forever
job and not feeling super connected in it. It's like
(03:30):
a means to an end, that sort of thing. And
she said about her work, she said, you know, it
feels positive and it feels neutral, but deeper than that,
I feel competent. And I mean my whole like my
body got chills, and I smiled. I smiled from the
(03:51):
inside out when she said that, because of course I
know her experience, but there was a sense of I
feel competent. And she's extremely intelligent. She's a competent and
capable human being, a mover and a shaker in so
many ways and on paper, but it was deeper than that.
She said, I feel competent. It's positive, it's neutral, it
(04:14):
just is, but I feel competent. And there was a
dignity in the way that she said it. I talked
to another client this morning and she has been wrestling
with something since her husband's death a couple of years
ago and their family business, and there were some underhanded
legal things that happened in the transferring of shares and
(04:39):
logistics and things after her husband died, and she was
at a very vulnerable place. Obviously, she lost her spouse
and life changed. And many of you out there have
gone through tremendous loss and grief, and you know what
it's like when we're in the midst of active bereavement.
We don't think straight. We'revulnerable, and there are sometimes people
(05:02):
that take advantage of us. And she's moved through seasons
of grief and change. But one of the things that
we have talked about is she has been considering taking
legal action in some areas. And this came up a
while back, and it was like, no, right now, if
you take legal action, you're coming from a place of anger.
(05:22):
You're coming from a place of I'll show you emotionally heightened,
cloudy thinking, resentment. I'm like, get to your place of
neutrality and then you can discern whether or not taking
action is the course that is wise for you. And
(05:43):
she said something, she said, you know, I'm not angry anymore,
but me taking action feels like me standing up for myself,
and it wasn't standing up against the other person, it
was standing up for herself. And essentially she said it,
(06:04):
HiT's helping me reclaim my dignity and my voice and
what I stand for, and so it came from this
place of neutrality. So I'm sharing those two different experiences
with you all to think about where you feel a
different sense of competency at this point in the year. Dignity,
(06:27):
self assurance, that's the sovereignty, and that's one of the
big themes gently to reflect on as you move through December.
Another theme is being straight to the point, like it's
kind of like I don't have time for nonsense. We
don't need to dance around things. Heimn haul Maybe maybe not.
(06:50):
It's kind of like you get a clear yes or
a clear no, and to be more blunt with it,
it's either hell yes, it's hell no. There's no gray area,
and that is coming up for so many of us.
You feel it in your body when someone says, hey,
do you want to do this? It's kind of like
yes or no, and not having to make obligatory excuses
(07:13):
or nice cities, being able to say thanks so much,
but I'm not interested in that, or it's so kind
of you to include me, but I'm not going to
be able to attend. My plate is full, and it's
I'm giving examples of just maybe things that may come
up during the holidays for gatherings and all of the
invitations that we tend to get where we overextend and
(07:36):
sometimes underperform, which matches the numerology by the way, which
I'll get to in a second. But just recognize where
you're becoming a little bit more straight to the point
and blunt. And it's not Kurt, it's not harsh, it's
just more true, true in your own voice. And that
again also is very resonant in both the astrology and
(07:58):
the numerology this month and last, but not least. And
you may want to go back to the podcast that
I did, and I can't remember the name of it,
but we'll link it in the show notes, and it
was about kind of symptoms of shifts in consciousness and awakening.
A lot of us are experiencing physical symptoms where we
(08:18):
feel physically drained. We're waking up in the middle of
the night with weird temperature, headaches, flu like symptoms, lethargy,
brain fog. And sure these things could be attributed to
a multitude of things, but for many of us, the
examples that I'm giving are not attributed to hormones or
(08:41):
stress factors in our environment. They're really upgrades where our
body is shedding physical density in one way or another.
So be gentle with yourself and notice physically what is
showing up for you that is perhaps shedding density in
some sort of way. How your biology is intelligently communicating
(09:04):
with you where you are receiving upgrades. And the simplest
thing I know to share with you, and I do myself,
is wherever there is a physical ailment or something going on,
I immediately correlate it to the chakra that it connects with.
And sometimes the right or the left side of my
(09:26):
body the feminine or the masculine side of my body,
So the left side denoting the feminine, the right side
denoting the masculine. And then you know, if it is
in my jaw, obviously it's throat, you know it would
be throat chakra stuff. If it's my abdomen, most likely
it's solar plexus. You do your own intuitive insight energetically
(09:51):
consciously and spiritually as to where the density is working
out kinks and have fun with that, play with that
a little bit. I'd be curious to know what you
find out. Okay, let's jump into the numerology. So as
we close out this nine universal year, we are in
(10:13):
a three month and I feel like this is kind
of acute cosmic gift because the year has been so
immense and so intense, because the combination of the three
does have a lightness to it, a playfulness. The energy
of the three is communicative, it's creative, it is connective
(10:37):
in many ways. It loves to sparkle and shine. It
also says a lot of yes and then underperforms. It's
the classic over extension energy and underperforming energy. And that
is so apropos for the holidays when we have a
multitude of things on our plate closing out the end
(10:58):
of the year being in multiple directions. That's the energy
of the three. And one thing I know about the
combination of the three and the nine, the nine can
be very regimented. It can be because it is so
serious and the three loves to play. It's the creative child.
It loves to party and goof off. It be silly,
(11:20):
and the nine is like, but everything has meaning and
is intense, and the three is like, ah, don't take
yourself as seriously. You a whole And I mean the
three would call the nine an asshole, like I'm just
saying it like. That's kind of the comic relief between
these two energies. And it's a combination of energy that
I love. But here are some rules of thumb with
(11:44):
this energy as we close out the year, it does
give us levity, So remembering to be light, to be lighthearted,
and not take yourself too seriously. Laughter is a fabulous
medicine for this month and enclose this year. But with
the three and also with the sun in Sagittarius before
(12:08):
the solstice when the sun moves into Capricorn on the
twenty first of the month. Sagittarius is larger than life energy.
It's all about expanding horizons. It's a fire sign. It
loves to go and do and engage. Well, the Three
loves that stuff too, So between the sun in Sage
(12:30):
and the three month in numerology, there's a lot of
opportunity for oversharing, putting your foot in your mouth, over
extending yourself and then you know, having so much on
your plate that you drop all the balls that you're
juggling in the air, and then what comes after that
(12:51):
guilt or more shame, like all sorts of emotional gunk.
And the three, by the way, is emotional. The three
can be a total draw I'm my queen if you
let it. When it runs rampant, the three can be
a drama queen. So when you have all of this big,
fiery energy, it's imperative to ground, to be patient. And
(13:14):
I think the opportunity here because the three is about communication.
When you combine the three and the nine and the
energy as we close out the year, it's really actually
more a time of listening, listening than oversharing, overextending, over communicating,
needing to be the center of attention, needing to be
(13:37):
larger than life. It's kind of like, where can I
feel right sized? Where can I really listen and feel
so comfortable in my own skin and my own light.
The three has a tremendous amount of joy, de vive
and magnetic persona, but it's not It can perform. It
(14:03):
can be a tap dancer. And this is not a
month or a combination of energy about tap dancing. It's
more about just showing up with your true presence and
also that dignity shoulders rolled back, chin up, feeling competent,
feeling dignified, and that being your light, your radiance, rather
(14:28):
than kind of yelling for attention, look at me, look
at me. And we all do that at times because
it's our own need or insecurity. But see if you
can check yourself in that way or how that need
may arise, and where you can sit in your own
stillness and presence and realize that that's actually more magnetic
(14:51):
than external fanfare, so to speak. Okay, let's jump into
the astrology. So we kick the month off on December
fourth with a full moon, and this is the last
full moon of twenty twenty five. It is at thirteen
(15:13):
degrees of Gemini, so it's a Gemini full moon, meaning
the moon is at thirteen degrees of Gemini and the
sun is at thirteen degrees of Sagittarius, and that is
the axis of Gemini communication and intelligence, Sagittarius philosophy meaning
faith and deeper truth. I think, and this actually correlate.
(15:36):
I think this is amazing, and this also correlates with
the numerology because when you look at the energy of
the three and the nine, the three is about communication, information,
gathering and sharing, and the nine is really the wisdom
and pulling everything together. And that's Sagittarius. So I love
the astro numerology here and the cheekiness of the universe
(16:01):
and the stars and the numbers and how they they
speak in code right, and code that synthesizes. But this
is the last full moon of the year, and when
we have a full moon in Gemini, for me, the
rule of thumb is always communication, and Gemini to me
is right it out journal. It is a moon, a
(16:24):
full moon of closure. It's a great moon to sit down,
take some time and reflect and list out what you
are leaving behind in twenty twenty five, what you are shedding,
what you are letting go, what does not need to
go with you in your backpack and your luggage as
(16:46):
you move into twenty twenty six, whether it's relationship dynamics,
a certain attitude around your work or your career, your health,
whatever the limiting or stagnating or pressure building experiences people, places,
(17:06):
beliefs are that you want to leave behind. This is ideal.
This is the time where you want to write those
things out. And a great practice, because we're talking about
fire and air, is to write that stuff out and
burn it. So if you're in a place where you
have a fireplace, get be your witchyself with your crystals
(17:31):
and your all your you know, Palo Santo and sage
and all the things. Write it out and throw it
in the fire. And remember two things. When you burn something,
not only are you disintegrating it, you're also making an
offering to the gods. The smoke actually is a blessing,
an offering up to the ethers, to the gods. And
(17:52):
if you don't have a fireplace, you know, be mindful
if you decide to burn something, don't burn your house down.
Be safe. You know, you your own wisdom and maturity.
And if you can't burn it, so what light a candle,
burn some incense, and maybe tear it up and bury
it or throw it in the trash or flush it
(18:14):
down the toilet. You do something that feels very ceremonial,
ritualistic of actually not just letting go, but clearing out
and clearing space for yourself. A couple of things to
note about the energy of this full moon, This Gemini
full moon is it's a moon that will be kind
(18:39):
of preemptive in some coarse correction, because in the days
following the full moon, Mercury is very active and Mercury
rules Gemini. Mercury is now direct, so is Saturn. Hallelujah,
so we've got momentum. Mercury is still in Scorpio during
this full moon, but in the days ahead Mr. Mercury
(19:00):
will positively engage with Jupiter and Saturn. So it's like
full moon, Mercury connects with Jupiter, Mercury connects with Saturn
in positive ways. So it's almost like whatever you are shedding, releasing,
letting go, creating awareness around for yourself, especially reflecting upon
twenty twenty five. The couple of days that follow, it's
(19:21):
like Domino's click, things click into place. There's moments of ah,
this makes sense. Oh I didn't see that before. Wow,
Oh I got it. Oh here's what this means. And
that's really the big overarching theme of this full moon
is what did you learn this year? What did you
(19:42):
learn in twenty twenty five? What did you learn about yourself?
What did you learn through the beautiful experiences? What did
you learn through the most challenging experiences. What did you
learn through pain? What did you learn through joy? What
have you learned in twenty twenty five? And then as
the days progress after the full moon, it's like, okay, well,
(20:04):
what are you going to do with that? What are
you going to do with that? Lastly, with this full moon,
I think that the Gemini full moon always brings up
truths that we can't deny, and I think this whole
(20:24):
year has had a theme of truth telling, our truths
starting to rise to the surface. This full moon feels
like a climax where truths that have been rising within
us can really no longer be denied, And in the
weeks ahead, there will be clarity in your voice, in
your ability to communicate those truths from a place of
(20:46):
dignity and integrity. So look at any outdated stories that
you've been telling yourself, mental patterns, behavioral patterns that you
know are limiting you and not serving you. Those are
the things that you want to acknowledge to potentially become
willing to release or to release before you step into
twenty twenty six. So remember, like I said, the full
(21:08):
moon is on the fourth and on December sixth and seventh,
we have these aspects with mercury engaging with the outer
planets that are just gonna help things click into place.
On the tenth of December, Neptune stations direct and it's
at twenty nine degrees of Pisces. So let me just
(21:31):
be straightforward. Saturn has stationed direct. It did this in
the last third of November, and it's station direct in Pisces.
Neptune's just been standing still at twenty nine degrees of Pisces,
which is the anoretic degree, the foggiest degree there is
in the whole zodiac, twenty nine degrees. It's the most
(21:53):
mystical etheric, like one other worldly type energy, and Neptune
is the planet that dissolves things, so there's a kind
of an etheric quality that still is pervading the energy
and overarching through the end of the year as Neptune stations,
(22:15):
which is pretty much standing still all month. But I
would say the eighth through like the twelfth or thirteenth
of the month, if you forget your keys, you forget
your keys. If you feel just out of it and
even lazy or lacking energy, go easy on yourself. If
(22:39):
you need to reschedule something you don't have the unfo
the clarity or your anxiety is overwhelming, you feel mentally foggy.
Where can you practice your self care? And on the
flip side of this, it is extremely psychic listening to
(23:01):
your dreams, your intuitions, your instincts, your uploads. And I've
gotten to where I say uploads versus downloads because I
don't feel like I'm getting messages from here. I feel
like they're just opening up from ourselves and DNA. We're
activating wisdom that already exists within us. So look for
the uploads. Where are those things showing up for you?
(23:25):
As Neptune starts to get a little traction, which really
won't be un till January, let's just face it, the
fog will start to lift. They'll be a little bit
of hitching your giddy up and mojo. But if it
does feel like you feel just you are experiencing a
sense of not feeling super grounded or motivated or clear
(23:48):
or formulaic, when normally you can adhere to routines and
get things done. Be easy on yourself because the energy
is really reorienting and rewiring something very mystical in and
around us, and the only way through is through on
the eleventh, Mercury will enter Sagittarius. And if you think
(24:12):
about mercury retrograde, Mercury station direct at the end of November,
and it's stationed directed at about twenty degrees of Scorpio,
so it is still going over territory where it retrograded
because when it stationed retrograde, it was its six degrees
of sage. So in the days just before the eleventh,
(24:33):
Mercury is in those last couple of degrees of sage
and Neptune is stationing direct. It's very watery, so that's
a really ripe time for psychic insights, uploads, intuitive hits,
dream time, X ray vision kind of stuff. But as
Mercury moves into Sagittarius, and especially as it replays those
(24:55):
first six degrees where it retrograded through, there's breakthrough through energy.
It's like the floodgates start to open mentally for shifts
in perspective and whatever seeds you started to release, let
go of and plan around that full moon on the
fourth and that mercury action where it's interacting with Jupiter
(25:15):
and Saturn and then it moves into sag it's like
a domino effect where it's just it's like opening things
up in and for you. So just know your mind
will start engaging and expanding differently as the month progresses,
and insights and awarenesses that would not have been available
(25:36):
to you a week or two prior will start to
make sense. Puzzle pieces will magically start coming together, and
I know that's gonna feel good, so look forward to that.
And when Mercury is in Sagittarius, it's about broadening our
mental horizons, opening up, taking the blinders off, and really
(25:58):
seeing things from new horizon's new perspectives, and really incorporating
foreign ways of thinking and doing things into our life
in order to create deeper meaning and enrichment. And that's
a big theme as we step into twenty twenty five,
coming from an orientation of truth, meaning and enrichment versus
(26:21):
superficiality or obligatory behaviors and actions. And last but not least,
as we close out the first half of December, on
the fifteenth, Mars will enter Capricorn. This kind of changes
the game because from the fifteenth onward we start getting
some Capricorn energy and there's a lot of Capricorn that
(26:44):
happens as we close out the year. But when Mars
moves into Capricorn. Mars the planet of courage, boldness, anger, fight, action, sex,
you know, just turning up all of the juices, the prana,
the life force. When it enters Capricorn, it's like, let's
get stuff done. Let's do it, let's do it now,
(27:05):
let's get it done. Let's build big dreams. So it
has a lot of ambition, and that will feel good
because it'll give us a little bit more grounded mojo,
especially with Neptune being all etheric out in Pisces, out
in its own little world standing up there, you know,
it impacting us in the sky. But that Mars energy
(27:27):
in Capricorn takes us into the new year, helping us
to begin to lay solid plans for the future. And
this is not about putting any pressure on yourself or
on other people. Be mindful of strong arming yourself or others,
or imposing your own will where maybe it just requires
(27:53):
a little bit more of a gentle touch. But this
will give you a little bit of boogie and giddy
up and go, and it should feel good as we
transition into the new year. I'll close out in saying
reminding you of a couple of things. One thinking about
how dignity shows up for you and how you feel
confident and confident and dignified closing out this year in
(28:17):
whatever it is you have walked through, accomplished and grown
into whatever you're becoming. However, your future self has been
pulling you forward in really dynamic ways and also where
you can be straightforward, where your truth rises to the
(28:39):
surface and it's non negotiable who you are, why you are,
what makes sense to you, what doesn't make sense to you,
and feeling good in that. Also being gentle with your body,
and as I close and talking about really from a serious,
serious standpoint, being gentle with the physical body. We have
(28:59):
so much energy coming into Earth's atmosphere. There is a
lot happening on the Earth. There's a lot of geomagnetic
activity that's had some fatal consequences around the planet, as
many of you know, sending lots of love and prayers
to people who have been afflicted by really extenuating circumstances
(29:22):
and the Earth's activity. But we have this comet, this
interstellar comet three i at lists accompanied by a couple
of other interstellar objects, and the Sun has been erupting
with massive X class flares. There's a lot of radioactive
(29:42):
electromagnetic frequency entering Earth's atmosphere, and whether you know it
or not, it impacts us. It physically touches each one
of us and our cells and our DNA, and we
are responding to that. So sleep, hydration, time, grounding, connecting
with nature, getting off of your screen, laughter, relaxation, all
(30:08):
of those things that nourish your body, mind, and spirit
are a beautiful way to close out the year and
set your frequency up for greater quantum leaves as we
shift into twenty twenty six. All right, stay tuned for
(30:28):
the second half of December, and I hope that you
enjoy a little bit of lighter energy and that you
are kind and gentle with yourself and to yourself and
others as we begin to wind down this unprecedented year.
