Seasonal Insights
The seasonal dance is one of renewal and flow that can be used to harness in order to propel your success.
The seasonal dance begins by opening your full potential which expands until it becomes unwieldy. At which time, it’s necessary to optimize your influence through purposeful actions.
Once you’ve harnessed this potential-filled purpose, you generate power, expanding your ability to make impact.
Curating your powerful impact creates prosperity and then you’re ready to begin the cycle again.
During each season, you can leverage the zodiac energy, elemental force and earthly rhythms to boost your chances for success.
Season of Potential
Seasonal Attributes
Months: November, December, January
Astrological signs: Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
Earthly Element: Earth
Apex: Solstice
Northern Gateway: Samhain
Affinity: Feminine Energy
Impact: Inner Life
The stillness of the season welcomes potential for all of your dreams.
Go inward to reflect on what you desire most. Let your mind wander and imagine. Plant seeds in the fertile soil of endless possibility.
This is primarily a yin, reflective time, however, using your yang tendencies expands your potential as you actively pursue the unfamiliar by asking questions, letting your mind wonder and exploring your edges.
This is primarily a feminine expression with its inner life exploration.
Think of words such as; opening, deepening, gathering, strategy, intentions, themes, milestones.
Magically, this season offers deep intuitive connection enhancing your ability to commune with your inner voice and the universal energy.
Practically, this is the perfect time to set strategy, determine your annual word, themes and intentions as well as to anchor your pillars and milestones for high level navigation through the year.
Season of Potential is the quietest season that stabilizes itself with the earth element.
It also relies on ether, so it’s a yin energy that’s expansive into both the known (earthy) realms and the unknown (ether) realms.
The key to this season is to recognize that both the yin power of strategy and the yang power of direction create your best strategic plan.
Seasonal Business Tips for Potential
It’s the time of strategy and holidays during the season of potential and that’s the perfect blending of the business meaning behind this season.
Work and play is the right rhythm to employ when devising your strategic plan for the coming new year.
Getting away from the day-to-day is necessary to gather the higher purpose for your life and business.
Replenish yourself, your team and your business by spending time with friends and family. Then take another look at your strategic direction with a fresh mind and heart.

To prepare for the wakeup call in March 2025, claim your spot in my 2025 forecast workshop at the beginning of the month. Register here (as always, the replay is available).
Now through December 15: Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius
Mercury asks you to shift your perspective about your current ideals and beliefs. This isn’t actually the time to engage and debate with others, but it is the time to review your position.
You’re not actually right and Mercury wants to show you how.
One of my favorite questions is, “How am I wrong?” This is an excellent time to ask this question and then sit back and watch Mercury show you.
You’ve forgotten something or someone you deem small that can really help you.
Pause. Reflect. Let go.
See who or what presents and then ponder how your current situation can be improved with this additional support.
December 6: Mars retrograde Leo 6° – Cancer 17° through February 23, 2025
Mars adores spending time in Leo and would have loved continuing his path in this sign, but he doesn’t get the chance yet.
He has to move backward, reenter Cancer, which he doesn’t appreciate. He loathes the watery, overly sensitive, home-bodied Cancer.
He feels trapped by the ‘over-caring for others’ nature. Mars is more selfish, active and bold than Cancer lets him be.
From December 6 – January 6, Mars moves from 6° – 0° in Leo and then enters Cancer again, where he stays until April 18.
For 3 ½ months, Mars marinates in the syrupy family soup with its past history and stories about your early years.
You have the opportunity to explore the depths of love with your loved ones, yet it depends on your patience and tolerance for hearing about your cute and embarrassing antics while growing up.
December 7: Neptune Retrograde since @ Pisces 29 – 27°
When Neptune stations retrograde at the edge of Pisces 29.55° to be exact. Wow, this is a wake-up call.
The idealism, overly optimistic and escapist behaviors get a jolt back into reality. Any overextension snaps back so you can see how your actions create your circumstances.
Absolutely do not follow or buy from anyone who says they have all of the answers based on easy 1-2-3, ‘one size fits all’ or ‘it worked for me’ solutions. These people are charlatans preying on your gullibility or desperation.
When Neptune is retrograde, you can see more clearly, but this may make you react by making a big change.
This isn’t the time for change. It’s the time for reflection and consideration. It’s the time for using your intuition and internal compass to be your guide. It’s the time for compassion and healing.
This period prepares you for the massive wakeup call in March 2025.
December 21: Solstice with Sun ingress Capricorn
The solstice marks the apex of potential to bring your big dreams into reality through hard work and effort.
It’s a buzz kill, but it’s an important energy to create the future you desire.
When you only participate in dreams and intentions, it’s fun and satisfying to your mind.
These dopamine hits, however, don’t actually help you realize your dreams. Discipline, precision and integrity are required to create your success.
As the Sun enters Capricorn, you have the opportunity to buckle down after the wild energy of Sagittarius.
With the Moon and Saturn opposing each other, you feel the need to get serious. Jupiter provides a great lift to this otherwise suppressed influence.
Other stars also give you the push to be original, get innovative and connect with those who lift you up, instead of put you down.
If you’re looking for a slower pace, this timing meets your wishes. If you adore the pace you’ve experienced over the last month, you can continue, yet you may not find as many willing people to join you on your adventures.
December 24: Gemini Jupiter Square Pisces Saturn @ 14°
From August 2024 through June 2025, Jupiter and Saturn confront each other and ask you, “What have you been doing since December 21, 2020 when we brought the New Era into your daily life?”
This Jupiter-Saturn cycle began with its connection at 0° Aquarius on December 21, 2020 opening the New Era portal for the future way of living and leading.
This New Era signals the time for the divine feminine to equally position itself with the divine masculine.
This is new and unfamiliar and you’ve spent the last few years trying to figure it out along with everyone else.
Leadership, sales and money work differently now and it’s hard to determine how to connect the dots to make it work for you.
Last year in June of 2023, Jupiter stimulated Saturn’s strengths to create sustainable growth. Did you plant seeds and help them germinate? Did you take advantage of this opportunity-creation energy to construct the pillars for your success?
Now, with Jupiter confronting Saturn for the next 7 months, you’re asked to be brave enough to note anything unstable in your life and business, then to get rid it.
Where ever you have shaky ground, bad habits or overextension, you’ll reach a breaking point.
This initially feels uncertain and you’ll do anything to deny the truth of it. But when you buckle down and wrangle with your inner conflict, you’ll come to terms with the truth Jupiter and Saturn have laid at your feet.
When you shift your focus to withdraw from unhealthy routines, people and situations, you’ll fortify your foundation.
This isn’t going to be easy or simple, but it’s worth it.
Your continued success depends on it.

December 29: Chiron retrograde since July 26 @ Aries 23 – 19°
Once again, you have the opportunity for great healing. You observe old wounds and release your ties to them. You reevaluate your relationship with yourself and others in order to understand your past to give way to your future.
In Aries, Chiron helps you see how your unique gifts fit into the world.
Better yet, he helps you realize your unique gifts stand out and shows you how to bring them into the world – if you’re brave enough.
Mercury retrograde in April gave you insights into how Chiron can help you know. Did you take note? Think back to remember what was happening for you in April.
Ask Chiron to help heal you now.
December 30: Black Moon Sun & Moon in Capricorn @ 9°
Lasting change becomes the norm. This New Moon, also at the 9th degree just like the first New Moon in December, speaks to the culmination of your intentions.
With the fire of Sagittarius until the 21st and the influx of earthly Capricorn, you have the ability to dream big, fuel your intentions with energy and create constructs to begin and set your strategy for 2025.
Star Power
Week 1: December 1 – 8 The stars have a lot to say this week with lots of activity and a few major star events thrown in for good measure.
With the month starting off with the first New Moon, Mars stationing retrograde and Neptune moving direct, mark your calendar to position yourself positively.
The opening salvo has you stepping out of your normal routines to embrace new ideas, solutions and creative pursuits. There may be a new person or situation sprinkled into the mix too.
The expansive start to the week becomes complicated, limiting and disruptive to your goals.
Set aside time to review your style and refresh your image while claiming your true power.
Transformation comes with confusing thoughts, unsettled feelings and inability to know which direction to go in as this in new territory.
Relationships are front and center once again, so knowing exactly what you want, who can help you and who isn’t helpful is an excellent way to ensure you’re creating the future you desire.
Taking a trip down memory lane to show appreciation and gratitude is your best bet to get through the week. Then, make that list of helpful and not helpful people and circumstances.
When it’s time to trim down, this list will come in handy.
Week 2: December 9 – 15 This week feels much less chaotic than the first week of the month, yet holds big energies that push you to make changes based on your innovative solutions and original creations.
Yet, use caution when saying YES to change. Big changes aren’t always required. Even a few degrees of change can set a trajectory to big results in the future.
The stars conspire to lift you up and inspire you to pursue your originality and brilliance by providing fun social engagements and new love interests.
Express appreciation for your conquests in life and business.
It’s a great time to give gifts to show your gratitude.
Week 3: December 16 – 22 Take it slow this week and delve into your own power to explore the fighter within.
Assert yourself for self-care and self-love as this is a pathway to owning your self-worth. You can find the genesis of your power by using the solstice energy and the martial internal exploration.
Delegate to those around you, including yourself, to align with your best next steps.
Remember you set the tone of what you expect of yourself and others.
Make sure you align your actions with your visions. Getting ready for the holidays?
This week is a great one to get those last-minute gifts. Keeping it intimate and simple is your best bet.
Week 4: December 23 – 30 The big star event goes back to December 2020 and continues until 2040, with the first confronting influence pressing you to prioritize yourself and your grand vision.
Beginning in August, this squaring off creates pressure to make sure you don’t forget what you truly desire. Think of it like your soul is sitting on your shoulder making sure you put your potential front and center.
Revisit what came up for you on November 18th and during the first week of December. This isn’t a far-reaching recollection, so hopefully you can remember.
These insights are super informative to how you can attain your big dreams.
Adding in your desire to break free from restraints puts you in a great position to serving your unique path. Reconcile the actions you actually take versus the ones you think you should take.
Serve you, not somebody else.
Moon Magic
The Moon phases help manifest things you want, celebrate things you have and get rid of things you no longer want. Here are the phases and what you should do:
- The New Moon is for setting your strategy.
- From the New to Full Moon, it’s the time to manifest, appreciate and create.
- The Full Moon is for taking stock in gratitude and refinement.
- From the Full to New Moon, it’s the time to celebrate, release and merge.
New Moon: Embrace Your Leadership
Details: New Moon with Sun & Moon in Sagittarius at 9°December 1st @ 1:21 am ET
Your leadership style is up for review. Are you leading yourself or are you investing yourself in the right leader for you? Leadership is the key during this New Moon with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter. Who is your guru? Does this person or group of persons have your best interest at heart or are you following them blindly?
Have you given your voice and power over to the right influences?
This is the time to step out of your comfort zone and ask yourself questions that have to do with how you value yourself.
Do you connect with those who are like-minded?
Are you showing up as YOU or are you foregoing parts of yourself to fit into a mold? If so, is this mold shaping your future or is it reinstating your past?
This month is filled with possibility to bring about the future you want to create. What are you creating with your choices, priorities and daily routines?
Each and every day you wake up and you begin the future creation process with the first awakened breath of the day.
Do you wake up with joy or with obligation?
Are you refreshed and excited or are you just marking time until you can go to bed again?
Sagittarius is the sign for discovery, different experiences and seeking adventure and possibility.
On this New Moon, you set the intentions of what you want to create in your life. But, do you back up your intentions with actions?
In the collective, the soul karma for feminine empowerment is stimulated to bring equity and resolution.
Yet, the masculine aggressive strength is harmonized and may override the potential for rebalancing the energies. How each person leads their lives creates the change the world seeks.

Full Moon: Change is Here
Details: Full Moon with Sun in Sagittarius & Moon in Gemini at 23° on December 15th @ 4:02 am ET
Mars is tracking with the collective soul karma and destiny. The last few weeks have been an active review of how each person shows up in their life, either choosing to lead it or succumb to other’s influence.
This Full Moon is about change. With the 23° of the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Gemini.
How are your thoughts backed up by your actions?
Are you creating what you desire or are you giving your power away?
This becomes obvious when you look at where you started the year versus where you are now. In April and May, I talked about making choices that put you on the path you want to set for your future.
I said, “You’ll know on November 3rd whether you’re on track or not.”
Talk about 10 or 12-degrree changes versus wholesale ones.
You’ve entered the New Era in earnest and it’s time to determine how to live and lead during these times.

New Moon: Lasting Change Becomes the Norm
Details: Black Moon with Sun & Moon in Capricorn at 9° on December 30th @ 5:27 pm ET
This New Moon, also at the 9th degree just like the first New Moon in December, speaks to the culmination of your intentions.
With the fire of Sagittarius until the 21st and the influx of earthly Capricorn, you have the ability to dream big, fuel your intentions with energy and create constructs to begin the process of achieving your goals.
There are 3 sharpened star points that push you into your power to align with your soul mission.
It’s becoming more and more difficult to avoid what your soul agreed to when you were born.
Pressure to break free and liberate yourself from others’ expectations is key to you shining your brilliance and embodying your full potential.
Magical Tools
The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.
The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.
For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.
For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.
Monthly Oracle Card: #25 Brilliance
Shining your brilliance requires you to show up completely without reservation.
Reservations typically include hiding your gifts, doubting your worth or giving away your power. Showing up brilliantly entails accepting exactly who you are without reservation.
Most of my clients and those engaged with my offerings have the issue of visibility. Like attracts like and this has been one of my biggest obstacles in standing unwaveringly in my power and brilliance.
My remedies work and here are a few for you:
Let your mind ponder the words; magnificent, luminous and genius. Let your thoughts savor their meanings, roll them around in your mouth and say them to yourself repeatedly.
Whisper and speak each word throughout the day and see how they open your mind to your brilliance.
Magically, the Sun loves to shine brightly and wants to help you through its radiance. Discover what sign the Sun is travelling through right now (Hint: Sagittarius and Capricorn in December). Embrace the meaning of each sign and lean into the fire of Sagittarius and the earthly actions of Capricorn.
Do a ritual or celebration during the solstice (my Podcast always has rituals and celebrations for you to follow.) Subscribe so you get rituals on your favorite player.
Practically, observe how you’re showing up in your brilliance and how you’re holding yourself back. Give yourself permission to shine brilliantly by coming out of hiding in real and practical ways. Make a list of at least 7 ways to shine and 7 ways to change your habits of hiding.
Crystal: Kyanite
Kyanite aligns your mind, heart and will to help you live your soul mission.
This stone soothes you by quieting your thoughts to relieve doubt. You may also clear limiting beliefs. Kyanite also opens your heart to deepen your appreciation for the people and circumstances in your life.
This is a highly spiritual stone and is often combined with other crystals such as ruby or calcite. In its purest form, the most available colors are blue, green and black.
Blue – This is the most common color of Kyanite. This crystal supports your communication and mental faculties. Choose blue Kyanite when your mind distracts you from your truth.
Green – Relating to your heart, green Kyanite brings balance to your feminine desires and masculine strengths. This centering energy lifts your spirits and assists in connecting you to your intuition.
Black – Aids in removing ancestral blocks and anchors your highest potential. This stone also provides protection when enhancing your psychic skills.
Unless tumbled, this stone is too fragile to carry in your purse or pocket, so keep Kyanite on your desk, fireplace mantle or night stand. When treated correctly, you can wear Kyanite in jewelry form.
Kyanite was the crystal for November 2019 and January 2022.
Spirit Animal: Snake
Snake continues to bring its transformative and healing energies
Snake continues to bring its transformative and healing energies that began in November where you’ve had the opportunity to realize your dreams through your intentions and this month you bring them into form through right action.
Snake transmutes and marks significant change in your life. With snake power, you’re an alchemist seeking wholeness. You’re a healer, facilitating your own healing to remove blacks and create space by letting go of misaligned habits, energies and external input.
Snake also loves the ancient rituals, customs and practices, allowing you to connect to them to ease your burdens and amplify your potential.
With snake, you heighten your sensitivity to the energies carried by people and circumstances to prompt your positive outlook.
Call on snake when you need to shred your identity, desire healing or want to increase your energy and vitality.
Combining snake energy with hornbeam is an excellent combination to accelerate you into your future.
Snake is the Chinese New Year animal for 2025, so this is a peek into next year’s magical support.
Flower Essence: Hornbeam
Hornbeam is the flower essence of 2024, so it’s no coincidence you’re closing the year this flower’s support.
Hornbeam connects to your soul potential while removing the perception of overwork or being overextended. Your soul wants you to relieve your mental fatigue and reinstate your natural vitality.
When you slip into a rut, your mind finds ways to stimulate itself. Oftentimes, these distractions don’t serve you. Actually, most times, your mind finds ways to hold you back by pursuing other’s success methods, comparing and contrasting to stimulate feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out). Your mind pushes you into a spiral that can create confusion and doubt.
With the hornbeam flower essence, you can move your mind to restore it into mindfulness, instead of pursuing useless distractions.
You move from a mental rut into spontaneous thoughts that lead to synchronous connections. You seek opportunities that align with your soul potential and you attract support from people who have your best interests at heart.
Last month, thoughts became things and this month, you have the chance to create the future you truly desire. The key is to clear your mind and let your soul lead.
Hornbeam soothes your mind to open it to possibilities, striving to ask the right questions instead of finding contorting yourself to fit into easy answers.
