This letter found its content late December rather in the beginning of. We are closing up on New Years as I write the December letter. Sometimes reflection is what is truly needed, not predictions or anticipations.
The year of great shifts
The year of the wood snake has definitely brought on the shedding of skins and transformation on many levels - just as promised. For me personally, this has meant leaving old patterns, shedding toxic relations, silently saying goodbye to people with energies that no longer matches mine, and leaving toxic structures where I was taken for granted. 2025 has NOT been easy, but it was definitely necessary.
The wood snake gave me strength to actively choose what was truly good for me - not just continuing what was convenient for others. What emerged was a clearer vision of what and who lifts me up and which energies only serves to bring my personal energy down. Sometime doing an inventory is needed, no matter how uneasy it feels in the moment.
When shedding something that is no longer working, time and energy emerges and offers a chance to rediscover what is important and who is important. December ended with a Christmas where old and good friends came in, where I finally gave priority to my own soul group rather than offering my time to fulfill other people's expectations.
Late December I gathered a small crowd in my home, people who has been with me since forever, people I treasure dearly as my chosen family, people who will always be in my heart no matter how long time in between meets and greets. It turned out a very loving and warm gathering.
Because I used 2025 to set some important boundaries and did the inner work during a challenging 2025, I ended 2025 with an important Christmas shift. I treasure this Christmas not because everything was perfect (because it wasn't), but because everything was sincere and things emerged naturally and close to heart.
I really hope your Christmas too, was filled with real connections and good people you could celebrate the ending of this challenging, but revealing and transformative year with.

Concluding 2025
My key take away from this year is something of a cliché: When you release something and let that go, you free space for something else to emerge. And this is exactly what my 2025 has been all about.
Making space meant also that 2025 gave way to new friendships, new crowds and a universe who has pointed me to new people who share my wavelength in different ways. I made new friends at work (actually I totally shifted my career path in 2025!), I made new friends at my dance classes (and had so much fun!), budding friendships has emerged with people who share the spiritual path, and new pathways has formed in the mediumship and spiritual circles I have attended.
What blessings this year has brought me, in spite of how hard old structures has worked to simultaneously show me what is not working. Shedding skins is not easy, I can safely say that my compassion for snakes has grown!
My gratitude goes out to alle the people supporting me in the most loving way, all in their own style, bringing different kinds of healing and love. This is what soul family is all about, and I sincerely hope I have been able to give as much as I have received.
Thank you 2025! I believe I am ready for the Fire Horse now that you did such an excellent job at preparing me for what is to come.
Janne
