Astrological Overview for January 2025

1. The Sun in Capricorn:
As we enter January, the Sun continues its journey through Capricorn, inviting us to focus on structure, discipline, and long-term goals. Capricorn’s earthy energy harmonizes beautifully with grounding rituals and intentional planning. This is a time to create sacred frameworks for your work, whether it’s designing new spiritual offerings, setting up altars, or initiating a deeper connection with the Divine, Spiritual and Celestial realm. Remember you are never alone you always have angels and guides who are here to support you should you choose to ask them.

2. Mercury Retrograde (Ending January 15):
The first half of January brings Mercury’s retrograde through Capricorn, asking us to review, reorganize, and recalibrate. Miscommunications may arise, but this is also a potent period for revisiting past teachings, especially those rooted in the ancient wisdom of the ancestors. Reflect on your soul’s journey and fine-tune your plans for the year ahead. After January 15, Mercury’s direct motion allows for smoother communication and forward momentum.

Making January a Positive Start to 2025

1. Create Sacred Intentions:
   Begin the year with a Sacred You Ritual or a Rose Priestess ritual to anchor your intentions. Write your intentions down and place them under a clear quartz crystal on your altar to amplify your intentions. Invoke Isis or Mary Magdalene or God/Source to bless your path.
2. Ground with Nature:
   Take time to connect with the Earth, whether through barefoot walks or working with the Earth Star chakra. Incorporate Egyptian grounding practices, such as visualizing the stability of the pyramids anchoring you to the Earth.
3. Work with the Snake Archetype:
   Embrace the wisdom and transformation of the Wood Snake by journaling about what you’re ready to release and the qualities you wish to embody. Incorporate snake imagery or totems into your meditations.
4. Engage in Shamanic Practices:
   Honor the Leo Full Moon with a fire ceremony to burn away old energies. Use drumming, chanting, or shamanic journeying to connect with your guides for insights into the year ahead.
5. Cleanse and Align Your Chakras:
   Visualise white light falling on your head and down your entire body, spreading through your aura. Visualise the white light like a water fall and allow anything you wish to release to be dispersed into the Earth to be neutralised.
6. Reflect and Recalibrate:
   Use Mercury Retrograde’s reflective energy to revisit your spiritual practices. Ask yourself: What teachings or rituals still resonate? What needs to evolve?
7. Celebrate Community:
   Venus in Aquarius encourages collaboration. Join or create a circle of like-minded souls to share insights, rituals, and support. Strengthen the bonds of your sacred sisterhood.
