Are you feeling the pull between what's ending and what's waiting for you in the new year?  In this episode, Nicole welcomes astrologer and cosmic guide Christina Luna to explore the powerful energetic shift December brings and why so many of us feel like we're shedding an old version of ourselves. Together, they unpack the themes of the nine-year cycle, the Year of the Snake, and the unmistakable sense of closing chapters as 2025 comes to a close. Christina shares why Sagittarius season acts like an internal lighthouse—helping us reconnect with our "why" and the deeper truths that guide our lives. Through vivid stories, astrology insights, and a grounded understanding of identity-level transformation, she explains why this month isn't about forcing action but about recognizing the inner spark that will shape the year ahead. Nicole weaves in the Human Design perspective, highlighting the Sun gates, nodal shifts, and transits that influence our habits, motivation, emotional boundaries, and sense of direction throughout December. As the month unfolds, they explore the temptation to hit the gas, the discipline required to slow down, and the emotional clarity that emerges when we choose authenticity—especially during holiday gatherings where old patterns tend to resurface. Christina also shares a fascinating "12 Holy Days" experiment that can become a powerful tool for setting the tone and intention for your upcoming year. If you're craving clarity, confirmation, or a more aligned way to approach the end of the year, this conversation offers reassurance and inspiration.
