December's Cold Moon Cycle
The Cold Moon: A Time of Stillness and Reflection
December's Moon, known as the Cold Moon, is a time to Embrace the Stillness, Release the Old, and Welcome in New Light
The Cold Moon is the final full moon of the year, shining brightly in the cold winter sky. This moon represents a time of stillness and reflection as we prepare to leave behind the old and embrace the promise of new beginnings. As the year comes to a close and the longest nights of the year settle in, the Cold Moon invites us to slow down, listen to our inner wisdom, and honour our deepest desires.
As we move through the Cold Moon cycle, remember that this is a time for rest, reflection, and release. Honour your own rhythms, slow down, and make space for new beginnings. The Cold Moon offers us the chance to let go of the old and embrace the light of new possibilities.

The Cold Moon: A Time of Stillness and Reflection:
✨ New Moon – December 3rd
The December New Moon marks a time for fresh starts and new beginnings. This is a moment to set powerful intentions for the month and the year ahead. It’s a sacred time for planting the seeds of your dreams, aligning your desires with the energy of the universe. The New Moon offers a space to clear away mental and emotional clutter, creating room for growth, renewal, and manifestation. Embrace the quiet energy and take time to reflect on what you wish to call in for the new cycle.
✨ Full Moon – December 15th
The Cold Full Moon on December 15th is a time for deep reflection and powerful release. This full moon calls us to let go of what no longer serves us—whether it be old habits, limiting beliefs, or unresolved emotions. It’s a moment to honor our journey and all that we’ve learned this year. As we release, we make space for new opportunities, fresh energy, and new growth. This Full Moon illuminates our path, helping us to see clearly what needs to be transformed in order to step into the new year with purpose and intention.
✨ Winter Solstice – December 21st
The Winter Solstice marks the return of the light. It's a time to celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the beginning of longer days. The darkness of winter holds space for healing, renewal, and rest before the energy of spring arrives. This is the perfect time for a Winter Solstice Ceremony to honour the turning of the seasons, reflect on the year that’s passed, and welcome the new light with open arms.
Cold Moon Rituals and Practices
The Cold Moon offers the perfect opportunity for reflection, release, and renewal. Here are some rituals to consider during this sacred time:
Candle Ceremony: Light a candle to symbolize the return of the sun and the beginning of the new cycle. As you sit with the flame, focus on what you want to release and what you are ready to welcome.
Reflection Journal: Write down your reflections on the year, what you’ve learned, what you want to leave behind, and what you want to create moving forward.
Gratitude Practice: Take time to thank yourself for the lessons of the past year, no matter how challenging. This practice helps to close the cycle with grace.
Winter Solstice Meditation: A meditation focused on the return of light, visualizing the new energy that will unfold with the solstice. Ask for guidance on what your next steps should be in the coming year.
Cold Moon: Reflection and Moving Forward
Reflect on the Past Year: As the last full moon of the year, the Cold Moon invites us to pause and look back, taking stock of the experiences, lessons, and growth we've had. It's a time to honour both our achievements and the challenges that have shaped us.
Release What No Longer Serves Us: The Cold Moon offers a powerful opportunity to release old patterns, beliefs, and emotional baggage that no longer align with who we are becoming. This is a time for cleansing and letting go, making space for new growth in the coming year.
Rest and Recharge: Just as nature slows down during winter, the Cold Moon encourages us to rest, recharge, and honor the need for stillness. It’s a time to turn inward, connect with our inner wisdom, and allow our spirit to recharge in preparation for new beginnings.
Set Intentions for the New Year: While the Cold Moon is a time of letting go, it's also an ideal moment to plant the seeds of intention for the upcoming year. After releasing the old, we can reflect on what we truly desire, focusing on the energy and goals we want to bring into the new cycle.
Connect with Nature's Rhythms: The Cold Moon calls us to tune into the rhythms of the earth and the moon. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, we are reminded to align our actions and energy with the natural flow of the seasons.
Celebrate the Return of Light: As the Cold Moon culminates before the Winter Solstice, it reminds us to honour the return of light. It’s a time of hope and renewal, anticipating the coming growth and illumination with the return of the sun.
