Insight for December 2024
Seasons Greetings!
So the countdown begins. I’m sending out Dec’s newsletter a little late as I am totally exhausted and can’t seem to catch up with tasks at the moment. Fortunately, less than two weeks to go and then the company I’m working for closes for almost a month. I’m so looking forward to a break. Personally, I feel people have started to “lose the plot” – not only at work, but also in traffic. Many are exhausted and good humour appears to have left the building! 😊 And with Mercury being in retrograde, it’s also been somewhat of a frantic time with technology, at least in my world.
It's over this season especially where many are stressed and the culmination of severe anxiety from the year takes its toll. One never knows when another is so close to giving up that just one more negative comment can push them over the edge. While some peeps will be enjoying a fun-filled holiday season, others will be faced with further stress of family and in-laws in dysfunctional family dynamics.
So how can we cope with difficult family and in-laws this festive season? Here are a few suggestions on how to handle things if you’re faced with this dilemma:
How to deal with stress over the holiday season
How you think and feel and act before the holiday will influence the situation. Your negative emotions will impact those around you if you don’t manage your thoughts and feelings beforehand. Envisage a calm and peaceful time spent with family, where you can remain detached instead of becoming triggered. Rather stay focused and stay in the present day. By doing so you are aware of your own contribution to perhaps an already tense situation.
Remember - no event or person or family is perfect. Aiming for perfection with everything going 100% right sets one up for unrealistic expectations. Instead, take a flexible approach and embrace the imperfection which is less stressful. An event can have stressful moments and still be enjoyable. Having a rigid mindset during the holidays of doing things in a specific way or wishing it was done another way, takes one’s enjoyment away. By letting go of such phrases allows us to enjoy the moment.
We may not always enjoy the behaviour or attitudes of family members, but they are who they are, regardless of what you hope they can be. Accepting people for who they are over this period can take the pressure off you, instead of trying to change them. Besides, trying to change them is exhausting and usually doesn’t work!
Redirect your energy instead to accept situations and people. Become the observer!
If you get annoyed with your Aunty’s gossip and prying, know that it’s better to take care of yourself instead. Rather limit the interaction or conversation that could be upsetting or annoying by walking away or changing the subject, instead of falling into the trap of trying to change her mind!
With the holiday season being more than one day you may be obligated to attend a few events, but remember to intersperse them with fun activities that enhance your own experience during the season. Remember too, that you don’t have to attend everything. You are entitled to a rest!
So many things can be a catalyst for family discord during the holidays. One of them is the over-consumption of alcohol. While people drink for various reasons, there are some who use this as a catalyst for letting their tongues run away with them. As holidays can stir up a lot of emotions from memories of deceased loved ones to childhood memories, this can be dangerous for those who are easily triggered, which result in misunderstandings, miscommunication and unhealthy interactions. Limit alcohol intake if you’re feeling stressed, anxious or depressed.
Throughout the holiday season, on a daily basis, start the day with a short list of 5 to 10 things to be grateful for. Taking time to reflect with gratitude can shift stressful moments into appreciation instead. Take incidences from the day before and mention them. Examples: “I am grateful for the perfect weather yesterday and time spent outdoors.” “I am grateful for the warmth of the sun.” “I am grateful for being able to catch up with Mary after so long.” “I am grateful for the lovely lunch served yesterday.” “I am grateful that I could catch up on much needed sleep.”
Above all, keep a sense of humour. Laughing and finding humour in situations is a great coping mechanism at family gatherings. In my own life, I love to picture the scenario as a sitcom. I envisage myself writing about each character, especially the scenarios where I have no control over. I become the observer instead and let my imagination run riot!
To help you start the crazy season, and to get into the mood, watch some movies about dysfunctional families. I watched one yesterday called “Our Little Secret”! 😊
Also … please be mindful of those friends or family members who become too detached and quiet over the season. They may be struggling with issues that you know nothing of. If you can’t think of anything to say, above all else, be kind. A little hug can go a long way ♥♥
And lastly, remember to invoke angels to go with you to any events. You may think this is woo-woo, but their supportive energy definitely works. Whenever I attend an event, whether it’s a fayre, a formal or social gathering, I invoke the angels to go with me. I ask them for support and energy to get me through it all, and for protection on the way there and back home. Your guardian angel will bring in the angels to help with this, so you don’t need to worry about which angel to invoke. Take it as confirmed, as soon as they’re invoked, they’re in your space 😊 Then remember to thank them afterwards.
Please note: Angels Haven will be closed for a period of 2 weeks from 21 December ’24 to 5 January ’25. Any messages or emails received will be attended to upon my return.
Thank you for all your support during the year.
Much love and blessings
Dianne

Angel Oracle Card Reading
for December 2024
using the Angels of Abundance Oracle Cards
Employment change: Your career path is leading you in a higher direction, with positive changes to support your dreams, priorities, passions and life purpose. Trust that these changes will help you release the old and welcome the new. You are being supported each step of the way!
Block out distractions: Your life purpose and other priorities need your undivided attention, so it’s time for you to take charge of your schedule and working environment by turning off electronics and avoiding anyone or anything that distracts you from what’s important. You already know what these distractions are, and you have the power to responsibly block them out.
Please note: The first reading for this month may not apply to everyone.
This reading is for You. You who have been looking out for a new position. You’re encouraged to remain constant in your thoughts to manifest a new job. Don’t become distracted by others’ opinions or your own swaying emotions. Prepare a list of the job you desire and mould it until you’re happy with the job spec, and then put it out to the universe that this is your desire. Pray over it, and then network by sending out your CV and updating your profile on relevant social media sites.
Have an attitude of gratitude while going through this process, taking care not to lose hope. It's important too that you share your dreams only with those who wish the best for you.
Release jealousy: Jealousy is an affirmation that you don’t have something, and the universe manifests exactly as you affirm. Let other people’s successes inspire rather than frustrate you. If they can have it, so can you!
Whatever your dream is, it’s never too late for you to manifest it. Make notes of your dream until they’re honed to your satisfaction, and then ask God and the angels to help you achieve your desire. Trust that they will send you signs and people to cross your path that will help you with your journey. Signs may appear in your dreams, when you’re listening to the radio, on a billboard, or via a friend or stranger. It doesn’t matter from where they appear. In that instant, you will know that the message was directed at you. It’s important too, that if someone else’s desire manifests for them before yours does, that you wish them well and be thrilled for them, instead of becoming green with envy. Your desire will work out and most times even better than you anticipated.
All the while, have the attitude of gratitude, thanking God and the angels for things yet unseen. Anything is achievable if it’s for your highest good!

Three big threads run through December. One lasts the entire month and involves our values, resources and relationships. One dominates the first half of the month and stirs second looks, do-overs, confusion and dramatic action on what we find. Connected to this thread is the third, drawing increasing attention to mushrooming and at times dueling perspectives, beliefs and chatter, which ultimately coalesce into a solid form.
The first thread comes from Venus’ journey, which affects and to a degree describes our environment for the month. She is the social director of the sky and sets the tone for our interactions and desires of the moment. Her moves take values, resources and relationships from awakening and liberation to focusing and sharp, forced changes.
The second thread comes from two retrogrades in fire signs: Mercury in Sagittarius, through December 15, and Mars in Leo, starting December 6. The pair are occasioning high energy revisiting and investigating (intentionally or not), with a probability of uncovering confusion, reworking or finishing situations and, beware, tripping on our tongues and shoelaces. Their 10-day overlap culminates in teamwork that facilitates sharing and acting on what we’ve encountered during the retrogrades.
The third involves a square between seemingly diametrically opposed forces – Jupiter pushing for more of all things Gemini (information streams, options, distractions, tricks, duplicity) and Saturn, advocating order, structure, responsibility and consequences. Their conflicting demands build all month (they’ve been with us since August, actually) and hit a form of resolution by December 24.
All three threads tie to the beginning of the month and spool out at differing rates.
The launching point is the Sagittarius New Moon December 1, ruled by Jupiter and in the sign of Mercury’s retrograde. The event marks a moment of refreshing belief systems, political agendas, ability to laugh and more – with a push to rein in self-righteousness and act responsibly, from the Moon and Jupiter forming a t-square to stabilizing Saturn.
Mercury joins Jupiter December 4 (what discoveries and causes for laughter will that bring?), then delivers some personal clarity when he meets the Sun December 5.
Meanwhile, Venus is in steely-eyed, calculating mode, fixed on both cost and lasting value, in the goal-oriented, work-oriented sign of Capricorn. Shop while Venus is in Capricorn and you will gravitate toward useful, sensible items and gifts, time-proven and durable.
Sudden, effortless breakthroughs, awakenings and innovations kick off the month, when Venus trines quick change artist Uranus December 2. Hearts may soon soften; nostalgia and compassion may permeate concrete, worldly desires as Venus sextiles Neptune, her higher counterpart in inspiration and love, two days later.
The friend zone takes over December 7, when she enters the pack mentality of Aquarius. We’re less concerned with tradition and work, and inclined toward breathing room, group activities, and pal-ing around rather than intense one-on-ones.
Although – some level of intensity is on the schedule, because as she as she steps in Aquarius, she meets with Pluto, her higher counterpart in money and desire. It’s the first conjunction with Pluto since the regenerator entered Aquarius, and it imprints the next two decades of him in the sign.
The effect is immediate and extreme. Deep and profound recognition is probable, of allies, of desires you can not live without, of people who mean so much it’s hard to formulate words. So are permanent changes in your socializing and values and pursuits, with Venus wielding Pluto’s scalpel to cut back circles and interests.
Pluto’s brief time in Aquarius has already directed your focus to people, resources, pastimes and ways of being that fit your new vision of reality. Likely the ones that fall away now took hits over the past year and a half, while Pluto peered through the doorway to the future, and can not survive one more touch of the scalpel.
We have anesthesia, as well as higher help. As Venus and Pluto meet, illusionist Neptune is stationing direct, ending the retrograde he’s been in since July 2. Because he will not move off his current degree until early February, the shift in orientation promises a slow rollout of change in perceptions of what has recently passed. The turnaround stirs and clears clouds of confusion (and worse), and opens us to compassion, guidance and incredible inspiration – and perhaps forgiveness and well wishes for those we are leaving.
Before she moves ahead, our energies turn backward. Mars stations retrograde December 6, at the beginning of self-expressive Leo. He’ll reenter Cancer a month later and station direct on February 23.
His reverse march encourages being more inward, or at least more quiet, than usual for this time of year. Since Leo is the sign of the child, activities and people from celebrations long ago will be back, in your thoughts if not physical reality.
The usual cautions against launching new projects, making big purchases or signing important papers go double, with both Mercury and Mars retrograde from December 6-15. Clearing up old business may be different; if circumstances require going against the cautions, know that you may be able to revisit the matter later. Maybe.
Meanwhile, Venus and Pluto are still showing their work; refocusing and paring back create room for movement and expansion. Midmonth brings a peppy, chatty atmosphere. Reach out, make plans and above all talk; Venus sextiles Mars December 12 and encourages collaboration and cooperation (and having some fun).
You may be done with some of it. The impact of the chatter hits at the Gemini Full Moon December 13, which is pumped up by its ruler Jupiter saying “more more MORE.” You may be pulled in multiple directions and not sure yet what to release. The Full Moon is caught in a grand cross with both Mercury retrograde and Neptune, making it hard to know who or what to believe.
And then, whoosh! The log jam breaks. Exciting developments flow when Mercury trines Mars while stationing direct December 15. Follow your energies. Follow your instincts. You’ll be acting on what you’ve picked up during Mercury retrograde.
Socializing goes over the when Venus trines her counterpart in indulgence, Jupiter, on December 19. Asking for what you want is in the air. The noise level promises to be high and bright, too, with people texting, posting, commenting and even talking directly. Plan parties now, because Christmastime itself won’t be quite so … jolly.
The buzz is still in the air at the solstice December 21, when the Sun enters Capricorn and marks the start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, summer in the Southern. This season comes with uncomfortable reminders that both we and the season are different this time around, with a semisextile from the Sun to Pluto nagging us to drop the old.
In a related vein, the Mars retrograde has us reconsidering how we go about our life (and especially how we did), when his inconjunct to the Sun calls for tweaks and adjustments December 23.
The demand to contain the chatter and chaos builds to a head December 24, when Jupiter and Saturn complete the second of three squares. (The first was August 19, with Venus in Virgo joining Saturn in a t-square pressuring Jupiter; the third comes June 15, when they have moved into Aries and Cancer.)
The impact spans December 24-27, thanks to Mercury (now direct, remember?) squaring first Jupiter and then Saturn. The configuration creates another t-square, this time to Saturn, demanding order, accountability and adulting.
It’s not a formula for high-spirited celebrating. The gift of this Christmas and Hanukkah could be … stability. Maybe even sanity.
And then, we’re in for novelty, for shake-ups, and plot twists all around. As the month and the year wind down, Venus and Uranus collide and deliver late-breaking surprises. Something else you need to let go of? Lightning will zap you out of it.
There’s an odd congruence to the jolts, though. The aspect may be a brittle, action-demanding square, but Venus and Uranus are working in tandem. They’re in a relationship called mutual reception, with each in the sign the other rules. Something about the plot twists feels right. Beneficial. Or at least, inevitable.
We end the year making goals at the Capricorn New Moon December 30. Wisdom and spiritual understanding are at the ready to form and nourish them, from a sextile to Saturn. It’s a serious end to the year, equal parts grounding and solemn.
Take care of your little corner of the world. Make room for magic and love. Venus and Neptune ring out the year with a semisextile, reminding us that there’s more to life than money and possessions.
Next year will be wildly different. Wildly empowering. Just plain wild. Take this time to settle into what brings you comfort and joy.
