December is a fitting end for this year. You now enter a period of introspection, contemplation, and meditation, similar to that experience in March. December focuses you on inner-growth and soul-searching. However, that is where the similarities end. December is a more comfortable time for such an inward journey and expansion of your consciousness. There will be plenty of opportunities to withdraw, to seek the quiet. Whether you enjoy this time depends on whether you value such an experience.

It's been a year of hard work and, at times, frustration, but the work will pay off. You are more aware of that now, and you are probably well aware that the year was well-spent.

Understanding the value of day-dreaming and contemplation is more difficult as a result of this society's emphasize on action and result. However, the quiet, "un-productive" times of this month will be at least as rewarding, spiritually as well as practically. It allows for deep inner contentment and a fuller awareness of the love and goodwill of others.
