From Alignment to Alchemy: Closing the Year With Integrity
December is always loud. Festive, yes, and loud. Social gatherings, decorating, gift lists, and the excitement of children - school breaks - routine shifts.
Mentally, socially and emotionally, it’s the month where pressure peaks, expectations tighten, and every unfinished feeling seems to rise to the surface at once.
This year is no different.
But I want to offer you an option. Rather than trying to push through the noise, what if you went deeper?
Personally, I decided to let go of many beautiful things I no longer use - vintage linens, silver and serving pieces that stayed stored rather than enjoyed. It’s been a bigger process than I first envisioned - the polishing, the washing, the ironing, the trips into nostalgia.
And the freedom of lightness. Imagining these one of a kind things bringing new memories to new people.
What if you made a conscious choice to let go too?
To shift from pressure to presence? Return to your own rhythm?
Maybe you’re holding onto things — habits, relationships, expectations — that no longer match who you’re becoming.
What might it feel like to close this year with fondness, living in the integrity of what moves you, over the effort of “shoulds” or “have tos?”
The guiding question to “being” over “doing” becomes:
“What do I WANT to carry into the new year — and what COULD I let go of to make that happen?”
This is the difference between alignment and alchemy.
Alignment is awareness. Alchemy is transformation through honesty.
The energy of this month is the perfect terrain for both.
Why December Feels So Intensely Emotional (the HD Lens)
The transits this month are not random — they map precisely the emotional landscape women experience at the end of the year.
You may find yourself responding to real energetic pressures.
Gate 9 — Focus
This energy pulls you to narrow in, finish things, get your life “cleaned up.”
If you’re open here, this can turn into scattered busyness. If you’re defined, it can feel like intense tunnel vision.
Tension you may feel: “I have to get everything done.”
Consider asking yourself - what is “everything?” Define it, write it down. Get clear on what “everything” means for you - and why.
Gate 5 — Rhythms
This is where your body remembers the pace it actually wants… while the world around you speeds up. This often creates friction.
It may show up in questions like “Why can’t I keep up? Why am I so tired?”
I want you to ask this instead - Who am I comparing myself to?
Gate 26 — Integrity
This energy exposes where you’re performing, pleasing, proving, or persuading beyond what’s true.
Ask this: “Am I overselling? Overexplaining? If I feel exhausted, can I allow myself to rest?”
What does rest reveal that proving can’t?
Gate 11 — Ideas
This is where your mind will flood with possibility — some are grounded, some will feel chaotic. Not every thought is yours to carry.
If you find yourself with the thought “I don’t even know what I want anymore.”
Pause. Is that really true? Or is it a fear that you can’t have what you really want?
Gate 11 → What idea actually feels peaceful, not pressured?

The Emotional Pulse of December
Brace yourself. Energetically it may move you into
overthinking → exhaustion → resistance → anticipation → relief → renewal
Because this is the month where:
your mind tries to run the show - but it doesn’t know what you need.
your nervous system tries to slow you down - because it is receiving too much input.
your emotions try to tell the truth - listen to them
your spirit wants to rest - make room for that
Pushing past your limits isn’t discipline. Doing more than you can manage creates energy of resentment and feelings of shame or regret.
This month is a call to presence. Will you accept the invitation?
For the Single Woman Who’s Given Up on Love
The holidays sharpen the ache. Independence can feel both empowering and punishing. You’re tired of being “fine.”
What’s happening underneath:
Root center pressure — a drive to do, prove, or fix. But love isn’t found in effort. It’s remembered in presence. It finds you when you are fully living in your gifts.
Want to make that happen?
Recenter in rest. Allow stillness in your life. Throw the FOMO (fear of missing out) right out the window. Getting centered drives out the noise that striving creates.
In The Alchemy Room, you can learn to track your emotional rhythm — the place where self-trust begins, and love finds you aligned, not exhausted.
For the Married Woman Afraid to Start Over
The pressure to “keep it together” is louder in December. Everyone else’s happiness feels like your responsibility.
What’s probably happening underneath:
Your solar plexus is overwhelmed. You’re managing emotions that aren’t yours.
How to meet it:
Reconnect by pausing before reacting. Ask: “What would feel restful for me right now?”
Where to go next:
Inside Alchemy Circle, you learn emotional boundaries — the difference between compassion and self-abandonment.
Spiritual Anchors for December to Remember Who You Are -
“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
“In quietness and trust shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15
Rest is anything but passive. It is an intentional return to truth.
Ease is not escape. It is evidence of trust.
And that is where the new year begins.
