SPIRITUAL HOROSCOPE
Spiritual Horoscope for January 2025
by Aluna Michaels, M.A.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Happy birthday Capricorn! Give yourself the gift of being kind to yourself. Meditate on your inner language is linked with perfectionism. Practice supportive affirmations. Gentleness will foster more motivation and talent! Also, look into investment opportunities. Your financial strength is greater than you think! Be patient in relationships as Mars is still retrograde until late February.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Your intuition is very strong now! Even short daily meditations cement the bond with your inner wisdom source. Pay attention to dreams as well! Since Mars is still retrograde, keep promises about your self-care, diet and stress reduction. Pick no more than three goals and stick with them. Otherwise, you’ll get overwhelmed and then do nothing. You’ll see huge improvements, and then you can add more health/fitness objectives in March!
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Meditate to release resentments. You’ll notice that as you keep healthy boundaries, there’s less stress that builds in your subconscious. You’ll have more physical vitality, you’ll want to socialize more often and desire to have fun in general! Try to seek out a group that fits your belief system. Maybe it’s time to connect with people who inspire you to be involved in your community. You have so much to offer!
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
As Mars continues its retrograde pattern until late February, meditate on stuck energy from your family of origin. You can be bogged down from old resentments and stress patterns. You could even be replicating those dysfunctional power dynamics at work. Pay attention to “triggers” when in conversation with others. The person could be completely in the wrong, but the interaction will hold a key to inner freedom if you look at the roots of your reaction.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
This is a powerful time for career! And since Mars is still retrograde, practice your signature Taurus patience as you wait for results to unfold over the next two months. Meditate about what your future will be like and really sense yourself in that reality! Also make plans to connect with friends, and even plan day or weekend getaways. It’s important to balance your ambition with fun.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
As the New Year starts, there’s a lot of power for meditation and spiritual work. I know it’s hard to “still your mind” as a Gemini, but there’s so many other approaches. Repeating a statement or mantra is a great start. Movement, like yoga, tai chi and walking meditations are also fantastic and yield results. You can have breakthroughs around intimacy and sexuality as you remember that you live in your body and you’re not just a brain!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Mars is still retrograde in your sign until late next month. It’s a good time to meditate on how you deal with anger. How are your conflict resolution skills? Do you need to meditate to release resentments? Do you overeat/drink/spend as a way to deal with frustrations? Mars also wants to super-charge your sexuality! With all that re-channeled passion, you’ll feel vital and optimistic. You’ll also be able to plan inspiring goals for the year, and actually accomplish them!
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Relationships will be super-intense, as Mars continues it’s retrograde path until late February. Be sure to meditate to clear out old resentments. Be able to see each other as you are today. Remember the goals and values you share. If single, you’ll be able to attract someone who isn’t part of an old pattern of dysfunction. If struggling with eating or body image, repeat affirmations of praise and love. It sounds silly, but it’s powerful since you’ll soothe fight or flight hormones!
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
It’s cliche about New Year’s resolutions, but it’s powerful time to make commitments about diet and health. It’s a transformational time so take advantage of gentle disciplines. Weed out obvious culprits like sugar or wheat. Keep a journal about how much better you’re feeling so you won’t be tempted to “treat” yourself to foods that are toxic to your system! You’ll have more emotional bandwidth to be forthright in relationships and to pursue goals of all sorts.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Mars continues it’s retrograde until late February. It’s helping you develop more self esteem in your career and in all of your relationships. You’ll have the courage for healthy conflict resolution. In romance, you need to have some level of purpose and meaning with the other person. Their unwavering principles will be extra sexy to you! Also, meditate on appreciating prosperity. Gratitude for what you do have opens the door to more abundance!
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
It’s healthy to have frustrations on the spiritual path. Mars retrograde can bring up anger at God, the Universe, or things you’ve done for self-improvement that “haven't worked”. Some spiritual traditions encourage expressing your anger at God. Write a letter and then burn it! This can be freeing, and help you tap back into a surprising source of energy you hadn’t realized was missing. You’ll feel softer and more approachable in relationships as a layer of defensiveness falls away.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Mars still being retrograde continues to work on healing sexuality and intimacy issues. You can have hormone improvements. Or you can unearth and resolve painful memories that keep you from surrendering to love and passion. On a different topic, you can also straighten out debt. Examine overspending tendencies. Maybe there’s a deep root of self-sabotage that can be healed now! Meditate on deserving abundance!
