The Birth of the Sun: Magic and Power of December 2025

The energies of December focus on reflecting on the year that’s ending and setting intentions and goals for the year ahead. This month opens up incredible opportunities and provides the strength to realize them. However, to harness these energies, it’s essential to clarify your desires and align yourself with their integration into your life. December is truly a month of attuning yourself to the coming year.

By creating an inner state of celebration, self-care, and anticipation for the future—not with worry or haste, but with love and faith in yourself—you cultivate the energy to attract what you desire. Like a magnet, you draw in the best, the most needed, and the most magical things that could ever happen in your life.

To highlight the energies that will guide you throughout the upcoming month, I lay out the Gypsy runes on the Wheel of Ruk and Boler. The spiritual rune of the month defines its transformational mood, while the four elemental runes reveal the flow directed by each element.

🌟 The Spiritual Essence of the Month 🌟

The rune Fire brings us the energy of purification. This month, pay attention to both your inner and outer cleansing—of yourself, your loved ones, and the spaces where you live and work. Light more candles to illuminate the last days of the Dark Time so that, as the Sun is reborn at Yule, you retain your strength to fully shape the hope and love that will define your upcoming year.

In the fire of reflection and awareness, we burn away the past year and use the same fire to light the way for the year ahead. This fire is your inner light, the warmth you rely on during cold times, and the heat you share with loved ones.

The rune Knife reminds us that before making wishes for the coming year, it’s worth pausing for a moment and asking yourself honestly: Is this truly my desire, or an echo of someone else’s expectations — a convenient role, a trend, or a fear of losing what’s familiar? When we shape a vision of the future, every YES automatically contains many NOs — alternatives fall away, doors close, and paths that once seemed random disappear, even though some of them held important pieces of who we are.

Ask yourself: On what grounds am I saying NO to other options?
It’s possible you’re cutting something off not because it’s truly wrong, but because it doesn’t fit the picture of “how things should be.” Don’t swing the blade too quickly — give yourself a chance to notice if, in chasing the ideal, you’ve lost a piece of your own joy.

The rune Tree strengthens our inner resources for this month’s main task, reminding us that even in the coldest and darkest days, life continues within: roots dig deeper, the trunk grows stronger, and even the smallest bud quietly prepares for spring. This rune tunes us into the understanding that December is not an ending but a crucial phase of preparation for the upcoming year — a time to reinforce our foundations so we can rise higher later.

Fire in December doesn’t just keep us warm — it melts the inner layers of ice that have kept us stuck: doubts, fatigue, frozen ideas, postponed inspirations. This turns the month into a period of active creativity and internal renewal. It’s a rare window when we can rethink our trajectory, reboot the system, and direct our energy where we truly want to see results.

In these weeks, it’s especially important to create your “white list” — a selection of ideas, desires, and directions you’d like to at least try in the new year. And if your wishes seem too bold or your projects too unusual — remember, December is the perfect time for that. December’s fire lifts even the wildest ideas, feeding them with strength and creative momentum. Just give yourself permission to grow, even if the world around you is deep in winter.

Feelings and experiences once buried in the past may resurface in December, seeking acknowledgment and release. Unresolved emotions, hidden deep within, rise to the surface so you can process and let them go. The universe nudges us to pour out our sorrows and joys, enabling us to feel the fullness of life once more. Without this release, we risk remaining trapped by emotional turmoil, unable to fully embrace beautiful moments.

The rune Sun inspires us to illuminate our inner world with the bright light of self-love and a belief in the future we wish to create. It urges us to trust our true needs and care for ourselves. When we infuse our dreams with love and faith, they gain real power to manifest.

In December, the Sun crosses the Yule point, leaving behind the major events that have been shaping each of us. Everything that could be completed this year is already finished or nearing its natural conclusion. The results are gathered, the signs are in place, and now begins the stage when we choose the direction — what we will devote ourselves to next year, how we will grow, which qualities we will develop, and which ones we will leave at the threshold of the new cycle.

The rune Knot helps bring structure to our thoughts and plans, laying a solid foundation. When there is clarity and an understanding of where you stand right now, connecting the present with the future you desire becomes much easier. Plans align more smoothly, ideas become more realistic, and your wishes feel closer. This is the essence and power of December: the chance to gather everything you’ve lived through, tie the thread of the past to the thread of the future, and make that very knot — the one that will hold your new year firmly and confidently, keeping it from unraveling in the winds of change.

This is a time of miracles and discoveries. Accept the gifts of the world, people, and the Universe with gratitude and joy for each unfolding day of your life. And may the Spirits of the Elements favor you!
