Wiz, what is your take on the 12/12 portal being talked about today?

There’s nothing astrologically pointing to a “12/12 portal” opening. Every month there’s a fresh wave of social media posts declaring a portal because it’s the 12th day of the 12th month, or the 2nd day of the 2nd month, and it’s usually followed by claims that manifestation is somehow turbo-charged, as if the universe is more likely to cough up a rabbit if you reach into the hat on the right date. People are free to believe whatever resonates for them, but this phenomenon feels far more like modern spiritual hype than something rooted in anything tangible or historically grounded. The ancients weren’t talking about manifestation portals tied to calendar numerology - that’s a contemporary invention.

Astrologically, the real action happened on December 11, not December 12. We just came off Mercury conjunct Lilith, Venus square the Nodes, Mercury trine Neptune, and a Last Quarter Moon in Virgo - that’s where the reckoning, clarity, and emotional sorting actually lived. Add Mercury entering Sagittarius on December 11, and the tone has already turned toward bigger truths and wider perspective.

December 12 itself is quiet, with no major planetary aspects. The Moon simply moves into Libra, which is more about recalibration, balance, and relational awareness than some cosmic gateway swinging open.

A lot of these “number portals” are retrofitted narratives - humans love patterns, especially neat ones with repeating digits. They’re symbolic at best, not causal. They don’t do anything unless people project meaning onto them. If someone feels something on 12/12, it’s likely because they’re still processing the very real astrology that just happened, not because a secret energetic trapdoor opened at midnight.

So by all means, use the day for reflection if it helps. But the planets already did the heavy lifting earlier in the week. The sky doesn’t run on numerology hype cycles - it runs on geometry.

Thank you! I could see from your daily message this morning that there was nothing that resonated with what the 12/12 portal posts were saying on FB, so it didn't add up. I appreciate the clarification!
