Essential Astrological Dates for January 2025



1/2 Thursday

  • Venus enters Pisces: we step into an ethereal, dreamy time. Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces, meaning Venus is fully supported to bestow her love, beauty, and compassion upon us. We are able to focus on emotional depth and soul connections during this transit. Channel this dreamy energy into art – allow your creative juices to flow.

  • Mars Rx in Leo Opposes Pluto in Aquarius: we can experience tension between our desire for individual authority and the need for societal systemic change. Basically, a time for individual egos vs collective transformation. We may find ourselves in conflict with how we can be a catalyst for change. There may be an energy of “all of nothing” today. Use this time to be creative in your leadership roles. Avoid unnecessary drama and aim towards collaboration.

 

1/6 Monday

  • Mars Rx re-enters Cancer: this will be a time when we feel pulled inward. This transit wants us to revisit past conflicts and reassess our emotional responses. If we have unresolved feelings, it is a time to reflect on how to process and heal these issues. Pay attention to new ideas or modalities that show up as they may be the key to your healing success. Mars does not station direct until the end of February, so try to be more reflective than actionable when it comes to your emotions during this time.

  • Mercury Rx in Sagittarius Squares Neptune in Pisces: today may feel a bit foggy and confusing. When our mindset squares off against our dream state, the energy is ripe for misunderstandings. Be patient with others but stay aware of the possibility of manipulations and deceptions. This is a quick transit, so keep yourself grounded and wait for clarity before moving forward.

 

1/8 Wednesday

  • Mercury enters Capricorn: communication becomes more structured and practical. It is a good time to set realistic achievable goals. Have you hung your Vision Board for 2025 on the wall yet?!

1/12 Sunday

  • North Node enters Pisces/South Node enters Virgo: collectively we will make a shift towards spiritual growth, deeper connections, and enhancing our intuition.

We are encouraged to dissolve barriers and open our hearts to unconditional kindness. We are being asked to let go of over-analysis (analysis paralysis), excessive worry, and the need for control over our circumstances.

Cultivate spiritual practices that allow you to practice forgiveness, empathy, and healing.
