The Birth of the Sun: Magic and Power of December 2024

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 formulating desires for the coming year, we must discern their true alignment with ourselves and our lives. When we define our vision of the future, we also exclude unwanted possibilities. Saying “yes” to one thing inherently means saying “no” to others.

Now is the time to examine all those “no’s” and ensure you haven’t discarded something crucial for your new life simply because it didn’t match your idealized version of happiness. Reflect on what happiness truly means for you. Must it involve grand achievements, a specific job, or being with a certain person? What really brings you joy?

The rune Tree supports your inner strength, reminding you that even in the darkest and coldest days, growth and new heights are possible. December’s fire melts the ice, fueling your ideas, plans, and projects, making this month a time for active creation and inner renewal.

Keep a “white list” of everything you wish to try and accomplish in the upcoming year. Surround yourself with inspiring people and ideas that will sustain your inner fire. December’s flame fuels even the boldest projects, empowering your aspirations with creative energy.

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, as the Sun crosses the Yule point, it leaves behind the major events that have shaped each of us. The year’s summaries are complete. Now, we must plan our activities for the next year. This list—or vision board—cannot be created without building on the achievements of the past. Analyze your core skills, gather honest feedback, and only then map out your plans month by month.

The rune Knot helps bring structure to your thoughts and plans, laying a solid foundation. By understanding what you’re leaving behind, you can clearly see what you wish to take forward. Without this reflection, it will be harder to connect your current state to your desired future.

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!
