12/12 Portal Energy: A Threshold for Alignment, Closure, and Choosing Your Next Level
“Portals do not create your power. They reveal where you have been withholding it.”
Dr. La Toya Davis
If you have felt a little more reflective, tender, or internally restless today, you are not imagining it. The 12/12 portal carries an energy of completion and recalibration. It has a way of surfacing what needs to be released, what needs to be honored, and what needs to be chosen with more integrity.
By mid-December, it is easy to turn your energy outward. To focus on everyone else. To judge yourself for what did not happen. To minimize what did happen. To rush into planning a new year without actually integrating the year you just lived.
But 12/12 is not asking you to rush.
It is asking you to return.
Not to an old version of you. To your truth.
6 Signs the 12/12 Portal Is Working on You
1) You feel less tolerant of what you used to accept
Things that once felt “fine” may suddenly feel heavy. Conversations, commitments, patterns, or even environments may feel louder in your body. This is not you being dramatic. This is your discernment sharpening.
2) You are craving closure, even if nothing is “ending” on paper
Closure does not always mean a breakup or a resignation. Sometimes closure is internal. It is the moment you stop negotiating with a pattern you have outgrown.
3) Your intuition is clearer, but your mind is louder
You may know exactly what needs to happen next, and still feel resistance. That does not mean you are blocked. It means you are at a choice point, and your nervous system wants proof before it surrenders.
4) You feel the urge to simplify
This portal energy tends to highlight excess. Too much obligation. Too much explaining. Too much performing. Too many open loops. The soul prefers clean energy.
5) Old emotions are resurfacing
Tears, anger, grief, or fatigue can rise during portal moments because your system is integrating. The goal is not to bypass. The goal is to acknowledge what is present so it can move.
6) You are being asked to choose differently
Not because you are wrong. Because you are ready. The portal reveals where your words and your decisions have not been fully aligned.
What 12/12 Is Here to Teach You
Twelve is the energy of completion and integration. It is the reminder that you cannot carry everything forward. You are meant to close cycles consciously, not drag them across a threshold and call it “growth.”
This is why the 12/12 portal often brings up three questions:
What am I still doing out of habit, not alignment?
Where am I asking for a new life while staying loyal to old patterns?
What truth have I been postponing because it feels inconvenient?
The Universe does not punish you for postponing. But your spirit will keep nudging you until you stop abandoning yourself.
The December Alignment Audit: The Portal Practice I Recommend Today
If you want to use today intentionally, I recommend doing a December Alignment Audit. This is not about a long ritual. This is about getting honest, getting clear, and making one grounded decision that changes the trajectory of how you end the year.
Use the December Alignment Audit (3 Quick Activities)
If you want a simple, grounded way to work with today’s energy, download my December Alignment Audit. It includes three quick activities you can use anytime you feel yourself drifting, overgiving, or performing your way through the season. And yes, they are perfect for the 12/12 portal.
Here is an affirmation to ground your energy as you close out this season.
“I choose alignment over performance. I choose truth over fear. I choose myself without apology.”
Remember, energy moves when you do.
A Reminder for the “In-Between” Season
If you are in the in-between right now, changing careers, leaving an old identity, expanding spiritually, outgrowing relationships, or realizing external success does not feel fulfilling, the 12/12 portal can feel intense.
Because it is not here to pressure you.
It is here to refine you.
The in-between is not a void. It is a recalibration space. It is where you stop living from who you had to be, and start building from who you actually are.
Do not rush your becoming.
Honor it. Choose in a way that protects it.
Closing
The 12/12 portal is not about manifesting harder. It is about aligning deeper.
And if you want support doing that, the December Alignment Audit is the exact container I created for this kind of moment. Use it now, or anytime you feel yourself drifting, disconnecting, or performing your way through life instead of living it.
You do not need a new year to begin again.
You need a decision.
