Rest-Relax-Regenerate are the keynote themes for the month of December. This year of 2025, a number 9 year on the planet, has been an extraordinary time of intensity and instability. A balance needs to be struck at this moment, thereby giving us the strength and reserve to enter the New Year with a skip in our step and a sparkle in our eye.
Deep sleep, good food, and cozy company are all a part of the restful remedy to regenerate your self. Lean into the safety zones in your life: longtime friendships, trusted neighbors, and the soothing solitude of nature are all a part of the healing formula. Healing is a requirement right now, as the overall number 9 of this year has taken away certain things in our lives.
Nine represents completion, and that which was a dragging burden must now be cut loose for good. This can be done with the intention of “May all prosper and flourish in their newfound path, and may the right guidance be there to support my journey.” This way there is no guilt or blame to be had.
As we enjoy the winding down of the year and Holiday Season, know that as you release the layers of stress a new wellspring of creativity will emerge. This is what you want to take note of, as number 9 in the positive polarity is the realm of imagination and artistic creativity. Number 9 is the Subtle Body energy, and is connected to the ethereal realm. You have greater access now to this higher plane of existence, however, it is not through force or by trying really, really hard. It is through gentleness and simplicity.
One of my all time favorite Christmas songs is “The Little Drummer Boy.” I love it not only for its simple melody and rhythm, but for the story behind it. The Three Wise Men came with expensive gifts for the Christ child, however, it was the little drummer boy who played a heartfelt melody that evoked a smile of blessing from the Christ child.
It is easy to forget the power of innocence in our modern-day world, and it can almost be seen as a vulnerability. However, when combined with conscious awareness, it can be the tipping point of favor that allows for a shift beyond what we originally thought possible. Number 9 is where the magic is.
December is a number 3 month (1+2=3), and number 3 in the positive polarity is nurturing, creative, has a sense of humor, and is always looking on the sunny side of the street. We would all like to steer towards the high road in life, that space of effortless ease and flow, yet somehow things seem to get off track at times. In part, the reason for this is often our own emotional programming. We have looked at the positive side of the number 3, and now we need to look at the negative. When 3 goes bad it can get quite dark. Anger, rage, destructive behavior, self-harm, and worry are all a part of this unsettling landscape. Because we are in a number 9 year (closing out), these emotions will intensify now. It is like the dragon’s tail whipping around wildly before it is forced out the door. Dragons don’t go quietly. Be careful where you let your mind wander, as when this dynamic duo (3 and 9) of emotions join forces, you may find yourself stirring a cauldron of old skeletons of the past, nearly passing out from the aroma of jealousy, resentment, and vengeful thoughts. Don’t go there. Take a big step back from the cauldron and get going in a direction of positive creativity and service. A child somewhere needs a holiday present that you can purchase and donate. A food drive needs a dozen cans of baked beans and six loaves of bread that you can give. An Animal Shelter needs 3 boxes of doggy treats. Maybe they will even let you distribute the treats and talk to the animals. Then you will really feel loved.
The number 3 says, “There is always a way!” and there is, if we can disengage from mainstream media and allow our Positive Mind to grab back hold of the steering wheel. Conscious control is a part of the game plan for 2026, which is a number 10 year. Ten is the archetype of the King, Queen, or the Warrior, so surf’s up in 2026!
Sneak Preview: Create a structure of balance and harmony in your life now. Know what you can and cannot do, and know that “No” is a complete sentence. Do not compromise or bargain yourself down in any situation. Ten is your self-sovereignty, and you are not for sale.
Number 3 represents nurturing energy and the food we eat. Food, and quality food is a big issue in the world right now, so let’s get back to basics. Ask yourself the question, “If I saw this in nature, would I recognize it?” An apple is something you would recognize in nature, a bag of potato chips is not. Try to shift your food consumption to 80% “source original” foods. Grains, beans, veggies, fruits, and nuts are all visible in their original forms in nature. Donuts are not. Now, I am not criticizing anyone for needing a gooey-surgery snack on occasion, and we certainly don’t want the baked goods industry to fold either. I am simply suggesting that you get back to what’s real, what’s nourishing and sustaining. Hmm, let’s revisit that word “sustaining.” It is actually a keynote theme for 2026—that which will sustain us.
Take a time-out in the last few days of this year to ask yourself the question, “It is a changing world, and how will I best sustain myself through the ebb and flow of these times?” Keep it simple, no big check list, no impossible New Year’s resolutions, just a new view towards a self-nurturing Care Bear hug for you. The heart is what matters most, and the heart is what keeps you going.
Speaking of the heart, I am going to share a tune to a different drummer approach to this month’s yogic practice suggestion. It’s personal. Yes, when I am feeling down or off, this is one of my go-to remedies. It works like a charm, and you can sing along too. Here is the link to the Bountiful, Blissful, Beautiful melody. Link You can chant along as you’re making those holiday cookies that have those recognizable raisins, currants, and walnuts!
It is our Positive Mind that is the source of our creative insight. Ease into this positive approach to life, and dwell in the affirmation of, “The Universe is creating my best path for the New Year, and I dwell in the gentle knowing of its kind benevolence and grace.” Let God do the heavy lifting right now, he can handle it.
