December 2024: Choose Your Own Adventure
on surveying the land, following our hearts, and notable numerology

The final month of any year always holds a certain amount of energetic significance since it’s the culmination of the overall cycle. However, this December holds particular weight because it’s not only the last month of 2024, but will usher us into 2025, a global 9 year that will wrap up a collective story that’s been playing out since 2017.
December 2024 also has quite a few ruling numbers, which I share in Call Your Coven’s December forecast, gives the month a bit of a choose your own adventure vibe. A little of this, a little of that. Either, or. Both/and. Everything, everywhere, all at once.
First, we can look at the digits of the calendar month itself: 12, a mathematically “abundant” number, and a common grouping across history, culture, myth, and magic—the 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 members of a jury, 12 apostles, 12 Gods of Olympus, Ocean’s Twelve, etc—which reduces to 3. Then, when added to the yearly cycle number of 8, December 2024 has an overall energy of 11, a Doubled Digit we can keep whole, or reduce to its root number of 2.
It’s an interesting dichotomy that the single digit numbers represent the second and third steps towards the beginning of a cycle, while the the double(d) digits herald the eleventh and twelfth steps, the penultimate and final of the adventure. Especially when we consider the Winter Solstice (which will get its own write-up later in the month) as the shortest day of the year, but also the promise of the return of the light. There are also two new moons in this two ruled month.

DECEMBER 2024: CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
We’re still in the beginning of a new cycle, which started last month when we had 1 energy at the core of November. Spoiler alert: January is going to have us starting over again, so November and December are acting as a couplet of months that are preparing us for the year ahead. We have a very different understanding of our collective circumstances today then we did a month ago. More pieces of the puzzle are coming together, yet we are in limbo between the way things are now, and the way they will be. We are also still our own authorities, the keepers of our heart’s desires, and the only ones who can save us.
There are quite a few choices to be made this month. The good news is that 11 is going to continue to help us access both the bigger picture, so we can better understand the overall landscape of our choices, allies and comrades, points of entry, direction, and destination, and our ideal situation, so we can choose what is authentic and aligned, but also inspired and interconnected. If we were able to practice touching in with, and acting as, our favorite selves in November, then this work should feel easier. If not, start now, for there’s no time like the present.
Especially at the end of a beautiful and brutal eight year, which rules desire and drive, following your heart this month will help you with these explorations. Spend time with the following questions: What/who is important to you? What/who do you value? What/who are you connected to? What/who lights you up? What/who keeps you soft?
Wrap up this year in whatever way feels good, potent, and right. Take good, gentle care of yourself. Pay attention to what’s ending and find ways to honor that. Celebrate what there is to celebrate. Commune with those you hold dear. Say what you need to say. Finish your projects. Cut ties with that which no longer serves. Don’t leave anything on the table. Next year, we’re wrapping things up as a collective, but it’s going to be a lot easier to honor what’s dying on a grand scale if you already have a sense of purpose and direction on a personal level.
