Part 2: 4 Practices to Integrate for the Planetary Alignments in Jan & Feb 2025
4 Practical tools for spiritual growth
Dear Reader,
This is Part 2 of The Spiritual Significance of Planetary Alignments in Jan & Feb 2025.
Through my many years of studying astrology, both from a western and Caribbean knowledge base of understanding the sky and earth’s natural system (us included). I found this spiritual impression to be of significance and charting its way right before our eyes. Every planet carries its own archetypal energy, and when they align, their combined power offers us a unique opportunity to shift our individualistic and collective consciousness (generational planets are for the collective).
Let’s dive into these amazing 4 practices and I even spill in the special moon cycles to do them the last one on :)
A breakdown of planetary energy and attitudes of the key players:
Mars invites us to take bold action, be courageous, and stand in our power.
Venus reminds us to prioritize love and to harmonize—both for ourselves and others.
Jupiter expands our capacity for expanding on abundance, wisdom, and growth.
Saturn brings us back to discipline, structure, and accountability.
Neptune deepens our connection to mysticism, intuition, and dreams.
Uranus sparks innovation and change, asking us to break free from what no longer serves us.
Mercury guides us in intelligence (this will include human interaction with artificial), communication, and decision-making.
When these planets align, they will create a divine synergy, amplifying their collective influence. It’s a moment to assess how these energies are showing up in your life and how you can use them to align with your soul’s purpose and reality. In January and February 2025, we’ll witness these energies in full force. These alignments are portals—openings for healing, transformation, and manifesting the life you’re destined for. These aren’t just planets—they’re cosmic teachers, each offering a gift when you’re ready to receive.
4 Practices to Prepare and Benefit from the Alignments
These alignments are cosmic events with an invitation to take action in your life (whatever areas are most significant and needs attention).
1. Create A Dream Board
I cannot stress enough how powerful it is to revisit or start a vision or dream board. If you have not read my post, A Guide To Manifestation Made Meaningful, go read it for additional tips.
Reflect on what you want to manifest.
Write it down, say it aloud, and let the cosmic energies amplify your intentions. These are prime weeks for creating a vision for the year ahead for your inner and outer worlds.
Pro Tip: Focus on themes: acts of balance, harmony, and shedding.
2. Tune In Through Meditation, Mindfulness, and Visualization
I enjoy using mindfulness and meditative practices because it helps me to be emotionally alive and discharged, to think clearly, to allow, and most importantly, to receive. You can choose between 5-20 minutes a few times a week during this 4-week cycle.
During a 10-minute meditation practice:
Imagine the courage and energy of Mars infusing your spirit.
Amplify Venus, opening your heart to love and connection.
Access Jupiter for expanding the possibilities in your life.
3. Journal for Reflection, gratitude, letting go and calling in
If you don’t enjoy dream board, begin creatively journaling or daydreaming a few minutes a day about your life (gratitude, letting go, and calling in) and recite it out loud to yourself. Use the energy of these alignments to dive deep into your inner world. You can respond to these over and over again for the next 4 weeks.
3 Reflective Journal Prompts:
What structures in your life need rebuilding (Saturn)?
Where do you need more abundance and expansion (Jupiter)?
What outdated beliefs, attitudes, or habits are ready to be released (Uranus)?
4. Alignment Rituals to Anchor Your Intentions (candle, written & crystal)
Here is a simple ritual to use to amplify +++ to honor yourself ++ your spiritual alignment:
First, gather all your tools for this ritual practice.
During your planting of intentions ritual, start by lighting your candle that represents the planetary energies you wish to amplify.
Hold crystals like amethyst for Neptune (intuition) or citrine for Jupiter (abundance) in your dominant hand. Connecting your energy centers to them. You should also cleanse them if you have not charged them for a while.
Write your intentions down on brown or recycled paper (also in your journal too!) and place them under a 2nd and 3rd quarter moon with the specific crystals to charge and carry them with you into the world.
love, liberation & solidarity,
Vierge
