Co-Creative Mandalas have a vibration that anchors, activates specific qualities, and represents something about ourselves, the natural world, and the energy in the universe at a particular time. This year the mandalas support Aligning with Wisdom,
within ourselves,
with the natural rhythms in nature,
and with the Great Mandala.
Welcome to the season of Reflection and Release:
Are you feeling a familiar cycle resurfacing as the year closes, and as a nine year and a nine year cycle come to an end? Do you feel the pull toward a deeper energetic reset?
This is an exciting time...for reflection, for appreciation, for preparation for the future...
To prepare us for the end of this cycle, the cosmic window between 11/11--a portal for spiritual awakening and 12/12--holistic completion offers us the opportunity to integrate the cosmic energy from the past month and welcome the beginning of a new cycle.
As we move deeper into December, the energy of the season continues to shift. The daylight hours are short, the night time hours are long, and nature is drawing inward.
This is the time of year when the Earth rests, integrates, and quietly prepares the soil for what will grow in the spring.
Your spirit is asking for the same.
This week, I invite you to continue reflecting on the year that’s ending — not to judge yourself or to tally accomplishments, but to understand the journey you’ve walked.
Reflection and release are powerful soul work.
They transform your experiences into wisdom. They turn challenges into clarity. They help you carry forward what matters… and lay the rest gently down.
Allow reflection and release to be simple, honest, and kind.
While I'm not an expert in numerology, I am expert in what cosmic and nature cycles feel like in my body, in my bones, in my heart and in my mind. This year has brought challenges and blessings, the mundane and the miraculous, holding on and letting go. With this nine year, symbolizing closure and growth, its natural current of completion aligns effortlessly with Manifestation--(December's Co-Creative Mandalas archetype) aligning your inner wisdom to co-create your life.
This Collective Card reading supports us in integrating the lessons of this nine year (2+0+2+5) and releasing the what no longer belongs.
Winter draws us inward. It quiets the noise and invites us to listen to the whispers of the soul.
Winter gives us permission to rest, to breathe, to dream without striving--to be in tune with nature's rhythms.
Co-Creative Mandalas can be your companion through this powerful season of reflection and release. We invite you to find ways to flourish! This month’s oracle card reading focuses on self-reflection, tying up loose ends, and aligning with wisdom, as the season shifts.
The reading doesn't predict your future. It can shift your perspective. When I sit down to do these readings, I ask the Universe to show me/us where there is Manifestation in our life and to reveal a map that helps us navigate our lives with hope, clarity, and intention as we align with wisdom and move toward living our soul-guided purpose.
When I draw the oracle cards and I sit with them--the color, the essence, the mandala meaning, something shifts.
Everything settles. The noise in my head becomes quiet, followed by clarity. I can see truths I may have been too overwhelmed to notice before.
I've noticed that in the winter this becomes even more powerful.
This card reading supports Aligning with Wisdom, receiving guidance as you grow into your next chapter, and discovering new ways to bring the magic, mystery and power of Manifestation into your life. Come back to this reading whenever you’re feeling stuck, seeking clarity, or when you're ready to Align with Wisdom--within, in nature, and with the Universe.
Before I drew the cards, I asked:
What do we/you/I need to know about how Manifestation supports Aligning with Wisdom in December?
The first card, the Focus Card, reveals what we are called to cultivate and expand.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
This mandala is from a photograph of Himalayan blue poppy (symbolizes spiritual enlightenment) and is associated with the solar plexus, third eye, and crown chakras.
Mandala message:
This is a wonderful time. You are on your karmic path, headed in the right direction. You are in tune with your soul-guided purpose. Trust yourself and trust the Universe.
Possible barriers to honor and clear:
Do you feel like you've lost your way, fallen off your path? Do you feel distracted by old habits, fears, limiting beliefs or worry? Do you feel stuck in constricted, energetic patterns?
Affirmation:
My mind and heart are open to Truth. I trust that my inner guidance and Universal guidance will show me the way.
The 2nd card supports the Focus Card.
What are we/you/I ready to receive that supports Manifestation and Aligning with Wisdom?
ROOT CHAKRA: STABILITY and SECURITY
This mandala is from a photograph of snapdragon(symbolizes grace).
Mandala Message:
Issues and challenges from the past are resolved and released. You are grounded, centered, and establish health boundaries. You allow yourself to feel increasing trust in your own power to safely move forward on your path.
Possible barriers to honor and clear:
Do you fear for your safety and/or security? Do you worry about or are you afraid of what the future could bring?
Affirmation:
I am strong, stable, safe, and secure. I trust my needs are, and always will be, met.
The 3rd card supports our next steps.
What action step can we take that supports seeing Manifestation as a pathway to Aligning with Wisdom throughout December and beyond?
HEART CHAKRA: LOVE and SELF-ACCEPTANCE
This mandala is from a photograph of rose foliage (symbolizes new beginnings).
Mandala Message:
Open your heart to receive love for yourself and from others. Your broken heart is healing. Gentle waves of encouragement remind you to gift yourself with compassion and acceptance. Cultivate the qualities of love for yourself and others.
Possible barriers to honor and clear:
Do you have lingering feelings of abandonment or heartbreak? Is it difficult to love and accept yourself? Is it difficult to let love in?
Affirmation:
The energy of love flows to and through me now. I love and accept myself. I easily give and receive love.
Allow the messages from this reading guide you back to a steadier rhythm, one that makes room for more clarity, honesty, and choice in how you move through each day, and how you'll move through the season ahead.
Take your time—this reading is available for you to return to for support whenever you're ready to align with your wisdom, with the wisdom of nature, and Universal wisdom.
As we experience this final month of 2025...this is a powerful time...reflect on what is surfacing from deep with you:
*What have I learned?
*What do I want to take with me into my future self?
*What do I want to leave behind?
*What do I want next?
Let's affirm to trust our wisdom — we are exactly where we're meant to be.
Speaking of endings and new beginnings, this reading will be the last Co-Creative Mandalas Oracle Card reading--not just for 2025, but as we go forward into the future.
We're retiring that deck. It's been a wonderful and meaningful companion since 2014, bringing insights and inspiration to hundreds of clients and to us every day since then. We say a fond goodbye and welcome, beginning in January of 2026, the new 48 card oracle deck and guidebook, Sacred Mandalas: Mandala Messages for Aligning with Inner, Nature, and Universal Wisdom. Stay tuned for more information about pre-ordering, bonus personal Sacred Mandalas reading, and the opportunity to see the deck before it's available to the general public.
Wishing you blessings of love, grace, and gratitude,
