We’re going to keep you in this space right now, because you’re all very open and talk about the New Moon on December 19^th in Sagittarius and the Winter Solstice, which occurs on the 21st at 9:03 am Central Time. So, you are at both an ending and a beginning. You are coming into the shortest day of the year, where you experience and process the beauty of your shadow, the beauty of the night, the magic you source that your creative energy finds in the darkness, and you are coming into, in the same moment, the return of the light as your days begin to lengthen on December 21^st at 9:03 am Central Time.

You have a New Moon in Sagittarius two days before the Solstice, right on the heels of this alignment between (this cazimi, we’re just going to call it a cazimi now) the Sun and the Galactic center. Your Galactic Center is cazimi. We want you to have fun using that word because we’re going to discuss it in relation to January as well. You have four major cazimis, four different planets in cazimi, occurring throughout January, which will supercharge some of you energetically in areas of your lives.

The beginning of 2026 is a very different energy from the beginning of 2025. You hit 2025 while Mercury was retrograde, entering the year of the snake, which is about completion, endings, shedding of a skin, and clearing out. It was also a nine-year (it is a nine-year, you’re still in it), 2025, in numerology. Again - endings. Nine is all about ending, mastery, completion, a willingness to tie things up, and to acknowledge your own mastery.

So, give yourselves a moment to reflect on your incredible personal growth, the growth that you experienced during this last year. You may find that you are surprised by the ways that you have grown and the choices you have made. A lot of you did things this year that you never imagined you would have done, or you’ve done things this year that you’ve had sitting on the back burner, some for decades, that you are bringing to completion.

So, regardless of the chaos, the disarray, the intensity, the abuses of power, all of those things that are occurring all around you in the bigger picture, much of which has to do with the placement of your outer planets in astrology, today, we’re going to really have you focus on you, your path, your journey, your excitements, how you can navigate your way through and create for yourselves individual timelines of joy and excitement and expansion without ignoring what’s happening around while also not being taken down by what’s happening around you. It’s a balance that’s needed right now.

You are coming into this New Moon, where you’re going to get to set some big intentions for yourselves. Sagittarius really wants information, wants to take action, wants to be creative, wants to be expensive, feels a lot of excitement, wants adventure. Let your New Moon intentions be resonant in this way, as you take a breath here. You may not know for yourself in this moment what these intentions are, and that’s completely fine. Let yourselves have some reflections over the next day or two, and remember that you can plug into the New Moon cycle at any time, regardless of when you’re tuning in to this information. So, if the 19th has passed and you’re there on the 23rd and say, “Oh, crap, I didn’t do my New Moon magic!” you can choose to plug into the energy of the New Moon as a multi-dimensional being and still use its power and its magic to support you in this way.

Give yourself time to construct these intentions for yourself and then, in the New Moon energy, let yourself first acknowledge what you’ve shed, what you’ve healed, what you’ve let go of, and also what you want to release, what you desire to clear on some level. Here’s the thing about release work: because you are immortal, infinite, because you have existed forever and will exist forever, there really is no such thing as a final, total, or complete release or letting go of anything. See it instead, like the snake, shedding its skin, the layers of the onion peeling away. Use the term, “What I’m able to release right now” or “What I can let go of at this time.”

This kind of languaging takes the pressure off those of you who are prone to setting goals when it comes to healing, magic, or transformation. Then, when you feel you didn’t complete the goal you had set, when the issue returns, you feel like you’ve somehow failed in your healing. If you use the terms “At this time”, “In this moment”, “To the best of my ability”, “What I am able to”, then when the shit comes up again, ah, you haven’t failed at anything. It’s just another opportunity to release, clear, let go of what you can in that moment to the best of your ability.

Let this be the beginning of this New Moon work, an opportunity to clear and release and let go. What a gorgeous gift to be giving yourself during this period of time as you experience the shortest amount of daylight as you come into the return of the light. Then you can begin to create your stated intentions for yourself, your desires, your wishes, and you can reference the calling of the corners that Nora did at the beginning of this session with you all, as the kind of grounded focal point for this magic.

So, even though she said she’ll be releasing the corners, which she will when this event is over, the truth is, you are immortal, time is a construct and an illusion. You can plug back into the corners being called without having to do it yourself, and feel that energy supporting you as you intend for yourself. And as always, let your intentions be centered on your experiences and your desire for experiences, as opposed to the acquisition of relationships, items, things, people, jobs, money, etc. So, intend to open to feeling supported, connected, joyful, strong, safe, excited, expanded, creative, fulfilled, and on and on. Let your list be similar to our rambling here of these kinds of words as we play with you in this way, without concerning yourself with form. The form will take care of itself.

The other piece that will take care of itself is the timing. As we keep saying, timing is the thing that you truly cannot control. You do, however, have a little more say-so when it comes to form. You have more power within the process as you play with form and physical density, but the timing is determined by the collaborative experience of your reality.

You are not creating in a void. You are always collaborating with other beings, people, experiences, places, and versions of yourself from moments in time, whether those versions be past, concurrent, or present, and the timing piece comes into alignment when all of these aspects, all of these disparate aspects, are cazimi. Use this understanding of the cazimi, lit up in perfect alignment. You’ve all had these moments where you’ve been going along and trying and trying and pushing and suddenly, like magic, there is an unfolding, a connection, an event, an experience, an acquisition, a receiving.
