Monday 22nd December - Steady Beginnings


Today is a day to steady yourself after the Solstice turning and begin walking the path you’ve quietly chosen.

With the Moon in Capricorn and Monday ruled by the Moon, today is about emotional maturity, commitment, and grounded follow-through. This is the first full day of the returning light, and it asks for presence rather than momentum.

Mondays draw attention inward, to feelings, needs, and inner rhythms. Capricorn lends containment and resolve, helping emotions settle into something usable and strong.

Today’s magick lies in taking your inner knowing seriously and responding with calm, practical care.

 

🌞 Daily Intention Prompt

“What responsibility or commitment am I ready to meet with steadiness and self-respect?”

This isn't about pressure or productivity. It’s about choosing what you are willing to tend, one day at a time.

 

💬 Daily Affirmation

“I move forward with calm commitment, trusting the strength I am building.”

Say it slowly, perhaps while standing or walking, feeling your weight in your feet and your breath deepen.

 

🌿 Everyday Magickal Moment: The First Step

Choose one small, practical action that supports what you committed to at the Solstice.

Say: “I honour my path by taking this step today.”

Let the simplicity of the action be enough. Consistency is the spell.

What felt steadier or more real once you took one grounded step instead of many imagined ones?
