Welcome to 2025! Alchemy and Art is here to assist you in calling in a fresh start, offering insights for the years dynamic energies. I am seeing an encouraging landscape for emotional growth, innovative thinking, and personal breakthroughs. This January, we’re diving into the astrology for the purpose of manifestation, intentional living, and self-discovery. Let’s explore the major astrological events of the month and how you can work with these energies to create clarity and purpose for ourselves.
January 6: Mars Retrograde Enters Cancer
Mars, the planet of action, ambition, and drive, enters the nurturing waters of Cancer on January 6—and yes, it’s still retrograde. Mars is usually the trailblazer of the zodiac, but retrograde motion in Cancer adds an emotional layer to its fiery energy. Imagine trying to sprint through a pool; that’s Mars in Cancer energy—intense yet introspective.
This transit can bring up old family dynamics, emotional insecurities, and deep-seated patterns, asking you to address them for healing and growth. Instead of pushing forward, try leaning into self-care practices. Cush in with a warm blanket, light a candle, and dedicate time to journaling, meditating, or nurturing your inner world. Candle magic for protection and self-love is particularly potent under this energy. We should come out of these practices with new insights on how to assert ourselves.
January 8: Mercury Enters Capricorn
On January 8, Mercury leaves Sagittarius’s fiery idealism and steps into Capricorn’s practical, grounded energy. This shift enhances your ability to focus, organize, and communicate effectively. It’s the perfect time to create a solid plan for this year...whether that’s setting personal goals, mapping out business strategies, or diving into our astrology journal for clarity and self-discovery.
However, remember to balance ambition with rest. Not every moment needs to be productive; sometimes, intentional pauses offer the clarity you seek.
January 13: Full Moon in Cancer
The Full Moon in Cancer on January 13 is our lunar reminder to honor our emotional needs. Cancer is ruled by the planetary mother, the Moon, creating themes of home, family, and personal sanctuary into our charts and active astrology. This Full Moon may feel like it is shining a cosmic spotlight in to your emotional world, urging you to release what no longer serves you.
Consider a lunar candle ritual to amplify your intentions. Asking yourself how to nurture and maybe even parent yourself...giving special attention to how you enforce self care.
January 19: Sun Enters Aquarius
As the Sun transitions into Aquarius on January 19, we move from Capricorn’s structured energy to Aquarius’s forward-thinking, innovative vibe.

January 26: Saturn Semi-Square Pluto
January 26 brings a tense semi-square between Saturn and Pluto, two powerhouse planets known for their transformative and disciplined energies. Saturn represents structure and responsibility, while Pluto embodies deep transformation and renewal. When these two clash, it can feel like being caught between a rock and a hard place.
