How to Embrace the Darkness and Final Shedding of the Wood Snake Year 2025
In this episode, I’m inviting you into the quiet magic of December—this threshold month where everything slows, deepens, softens.
As the days shorten and the nights stretch long, we’re asked to follow nature’s lead and turn inward. I talk about the descent into stillness, the spiritual meaning of the winter solstice, the final months of the Wood Snake year, and the powerful transition coming with the Fire Horse in February 2026.
This is a month of rest, recalibration, and inner listening. A time to honor the darkness not as something to fear, but as the place where all light is born. I also share simple rituals and reflection questions to help you align with this season and prepare for the energetic shift ahead.
