Harness the Fast Energy of December

How often have you found yourself in a conversation with family or friends, remarking on how quickly everything seems to be moving? December has a unique rhythm. Despite having 31 days, it only offers about three working weeks, making the pace feel even faster. This month often brings a whirlwind of activity, decisions, and plans that need to be made quickly.


At the start of this year, I drew the 8 of Wands as my card for December. The first word that came to mind was fast. This card perfectly captures the energy of the month; rapid movement, swift decisions, and a surge of momentum. But this energy is not just about feeling rushed, it’s about harnessing that speed as a superpower to get things done and make meaningful progress.



Understanding the Energy of December


December’s fast pace can feel overwhelming. Between festive prep, work deadlines, and too many personal commitments, it’s easy to get stretched too thin. But the 8 of Wands reminds us that this speed is a gift if we use it wisely.


This card symbolizes:


  • Swift progress

  • Clear communication

  • Decisive action

  • Momentum building


Think of the mum who has one hour in a busy shop to tick off a long Christmas list. She knows exactly what she needs, moves quickly, and makes decisions on the spot. This is the kind of energy December offers — a chance to move fast and get things done efficiently.



How to Use December’s Energy Without Burning Out


The key to benefiting from December’s fast energy is to stay focused and clear. Here’s how you can do that:


Get Clear on Your Goals and Priorities


Write down everything you need to do, want to do, or feel you should do. Then, identify which tasks will actually move you closer to your goals. This helps you avoid wasting energy on things that don’t matter.


Prioritise Your Tasks


Once you know what matters most, decide the order in which to tackle these tasks. Prioritising helps you focus on what will have the biggest impact first.


Communicate Clearly


December leaves no room for misunderstandings. Whether at work or with family, clear communication saves time and prevents unnecessary stress.


Trust Your Intuition


With so much information and so many options coming at you, quick decisions are necessary. When your priorities are clear, trusting your gut becomes easier and more reliable.


Avoid Procrastination


Now is the time to act. Waiting or hesitating only slows you down. Press the big ON button and go full speed ahead.
