After the Cut: December Energy Forecast ✂️🎄
It’s been a year, hasn’t it?
After months of emotional excavation, hard conversations, and intense inner work, December arrives like the closing chapter in a long, winding novel. But don’t expect instant peace and pretty resolutions; this one’s still got some plot twists.
This month is about what happens after the cut. You’ve cleared the dead weight, burned the bridges that needed burning, and now you’re left standing in the smoke, wondering what comes next.
Well, spoiler alert: clarity, empowerment, and sweet, sweet oblivion (just in time for Boxing Day).
🌪 Early December: Emotional Whiplash Incoming
That emotional shift you didn’t see coming? It’s already building. Relationships – romantic, platonic, familial, you name it – are under the microscope. You’ll start seeing things (and people) for what they really are. Expect truths to surface, perceptions to shift, and maybe even a little side-eye at the dinner table.
If you’ve done the work, you’ll navigate this with strength and grace. If you haven’t? You might want to book in that emergency grounding session, babe.
🔮 Tarot pulled:
• Page of Cups
• Five of Swords
• The Hermit
• Angel of Strength
• Seven of Swords (reversed)
• Knight of Cups (reversed)
Themes? Emotional tests, energetic exposure, and spiritual boundaries getting real.
🎁 Mid December: Family Dynamics & Festive Chaos
Ah yes, Christmas; that magical time of year when family feuds bubble over between mouthfuls of pavlova.
Dynamics have changed. People are showing up differently. And you? You’ve got receipts, boundaries, and a whole new emotional compass.
This is your permission slip to pull inwards, protect your peace, and leave drama queens on read. You’ve said your piece. Let it sit. Don’t take the bait.
💡 Reminder: It's okay to want 48 hours of silence and a dog that feeds itself for Christmas. Ask for what you really want (even if it’s just to not wear pants).
🧘♀️ Late December: The Hermit Window (26th–31st)
We’re calling it now; the sweet oblivion of Boxing Day to New Year’s Eve is chef’s kiss. Time goes weird. No one knows what day it is. And suddenly, it’s okay to nap at 3pm and eat leftovers in your dressing gown.
This is your Hermit Era. A sacred time to pause, reflect, and recharge. Don’t feel guilty for pulling back. You’ve earned it.
🌀 Affirmation: “It’s okay to forget. And then remember. All over again.”
🔥 Endings, Grief & Integration
Let’s be real: when you cut things out of your life (whether it's a toxic ex, an expired dream, or a hobby you just can’t afford), it still leaves a hole. December is where the grief process catches up.
But here’s the kicker: it all starts to make sense. The painful choices, the shifts, the letting go; this is the month clarity hits. You’ll see why it had to happen, and you’ll feel damn good about where you're headed.
🌿 Crystals for December:
This month isn’t about shopping for new vibes. It’s about leaning on your ride-or-die crystal. Whatever your go-to is (Citrine, Smokey, Labradorite, a pebble from the garden), that’s the one.
🧹 When January Comes...
Clear the energy. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. Whether you light it, spray it, sing it, or bell-ring it; just do it.
A new vibration is coming. And you’ll be ready.

Final Thought:
What do you want for Christmas?
Answer honestly. Even if it’s just “to be left alone with trifle and a true crime podcast.”
You’ve done enough.
🎄 Merry Christmas, you magical legend. Let’s burn the rest and start fresh.
