Certain dates hold a special significance in the terms of celestial alignment and they create a portal through which we can access heightened energies, spiritual insights, and opportunities for growth. The 12th of December is a really important date as it is the 12th day of the 12th month of the year and for many it is the most potent day to set intentions for the upcoming new year. The 12/12 portal invites you to expand, elevate, and anchor yourself in the higher frequencies that will shape the year ahead. If you have read my previous 11/11 portal articles, you will know that portals facilitate the clearing of our internal energy, so there’s major letting go that is going to happen around this time for us. The 12/12 Portal is not merely a date on the calendar but a moment of divine clarity and an opportunity to manifest your deepest desires while stepping boldly into a new chapter of life.
First, What is a portal?
A portal is an energetic gateway or doorway that creates a powerful opportunity to connect with higher energies. We can make the most of each portal if we work with the incoming energies and channel, anchor, and integrate them.
The importance of numbers
In numerology, every number from 0 to 9 is a symbol and is therefore highly significant. Symbols are the language of the soul and patterns of numbers work together like a code. We can use days like these to connect more fully and readily with our higher nature and choose to elevate our consciousness.
In numerology, the number 1 represents the beginning of all creation. Then the number 11 is very unique number being a “Master Number” and it’s one of only three. A master number, which means it has a unique vibration and a high level of spiritual significance. It’s believed to represent a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. 11 itself is associated with intuition, spiritual awakening, and enlightenment.
The meaning of the 12/12 portal
Every year on December 12, a powerful spiritual and energetic doorway known as the 12/12 portal is believed to open. This date carries profound significance in numerology as it features the repetition of the master number 12, which symbolizes spiritual growth, completion, and alignment with higher consciousness. The number 12 often represents completion and cosmic order—it’s the number of months in a year, zodiac signs, and even hours on a clock. People often describe the 12/12 portal as a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinner. It’s an invitation to step into alignment with your highest self, shed old patterns, and set powerful intentions for the future. Many people use this period to meditate, heal, and connect with their higher selves. Your dreams are evolving as you grow, so set intentions for the future on 12/12, knowing the Universe supports you. This is a moment to harness the portal’s energy and propel yourself towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
The 12/12 portal and duality
Since, I am a grey witch every single energy I choose to align myself with I look for how I can connect to it in the sense of duality and balance. With this portal it may seem like, there is no way an energy swirling with abundance, wealth, manifestation, transformation, and all your dreams coming can be anything but, a wanted thing and a wanted energy? Well, every single energy we work with is dualistic and this energy is no different.
When we are putting our energy, faith, and hope behind a wish to manifest and make our dreams come true, we must first go into the dark. We must first go into the shadow of our soul to figure out what we are missing. We have to go into the shadows to see what it is we are lacking. In order for us to be clear in the wish and intention we set today we have to fist experience the duality of our reality. This isn’t always a wanted, fun, and cheery place to be. It opens us up to being open and honest with ourselves about what we have and what we don’t. But, than moving through the darkness, and place of lacking into an energy of deserving and bringing it to you. The other part of the duality to this portal is having to work with fear. When we truly let go and give the universe our faith to make our dreams come true we have to be willing to dive into the unknown and not know exactly where we are going to go.
How To Work With Portals In General
Portal days are a prime opportunity to refocus on ourselves. Below are some ways you can do that with portals in general on portal days when they are open and active.
Listen to your gut feeling: Portal days are not the time for overthinking decisions. Instead, listen to your intuition and trust the inspirations that come to you on these days.
Movement: Energy needs to flow, so make sure you get enough exercise on portal days. For example, you could start the day with some yoga or plan a walk during your lunch break. This will ground you and sharpen your focus at the same time.
Get enough sleep: In order to be as physically and mentally prepared as possible, healthy sleep is essential. Portal days demand a lot from you, so make sure you get enough sleep or take short rest breaks in between.
Journaling and manifestation: Hold on to your thoughts and ideas by visualizing them on a goal board or writing them down in your journal. This not only prevents you from forgetting them again, but also brings order to your potential chaos of thoughts.
Create rituals: Everything has a more intense effect on portal days. This includes the opportunity to create new rituals, reinforce existing ones or overhaul old ones. Rituals ensure consistency and can help us to really put our new insights into practice and integrate them permanently into our everyday lives.
How to use the 12/12 portal Specifically
If you’re looking to make the most of the 12/12 portal, you can start by reflecting on the past year. Get out your journal, or open a Google doc, and jot down what was great, what you learned, what you might like to change or let go, and what you’d like to pursue. From here, you can start setting intentions for your next year. In fact, instead of setting your resolutions in the new year, December 12 is actually much better timing for meaning it’s the perfect time do it! So do things to set intentions, and manifest your dreams before the new year, setting you up for success.
