This week’s episode arrives on the heels of that wild Gemini Full Moon — jittery, electric, disorienting in the body, clarifying in the mind. If you’ve felt unsettled, sleepless, or like your system was being rewired… you weren’t imagining it. Something real has been clearing out, and as you land into this week, the ground beneath you is stabilizing.

We’re moving through an ending that is not cute or symbolic, but earned — the kind where you exhale and think, holy sht… we made it.*
Two cards are walking with us through December: XII The Hanged One and XXI The World, echoing that powerful 12–21 portal and the long arc of transformation since December 2021. Time has bent these last few years; we’ve moved through a maze, a gauntlet, a spiritual compression chamber… and we’re not the same.

This month offers two things at once:
✨ The final shedding of a 9-year cycle
✨ The prep work for the fire-horse energy of 2026

You have all the pieces — but December rearranges them into a completely new picture.

And for the week ahead?
We’re in the energy of the Daughter (Page) of Wands. 🔥

She’s the spark-tender. The first breath of inspiration. The raw-faced enthusiasm before self-consciousness sets in. This is your permission to:

• Let your freak flag fly

• Follow what turns you on

• Be a little wild, a little free

• Express without monitoring yourself

• Run toward the things that make you feel alive

There’s contagious joy in this card — cranes overhead, freedom in motion, the sense of “YES, this is what my body has been wanting.”

Let yourself surprise yourself.
Let yourself feel good.
Let yourself be seen in your fire.

We close with a blessing for the week and a peek into what’s coming next as Kirsten steps into Jaguar medicine — the West direction of the Shamanic wheel: shadow, death, tracking, and the liberation that follows.

May this week bring you that delicious feeling of:
Damn. It feels good to be alive. It feels good to be free. It feels good to be in this body. It feels good to be me.
