Astrology for Healers and Therapists – January 2025
Before I look at this month’s charts I must point out that the interpretation is mainly for therapists dealing with problematic situations. That is why I seem to emphasise the problem or negative side of life rather than the positive. Of course the charts indicate a general situation but the leaning must be for those clients or patients who are struggling in some way.
First do please note that the following is using the WESTERN FOUR ELEMENT system based in western magical and astrological understanding. The individual therapist must make the translation to the Eastern Five Element system that is usual in Shiatsu and Acupuncture theory. If you have forgotten the explanation about Elemental and Modal make up then do refresh your memory by looking back at the Introduction to Astrology for Healers and Therapists.
I look at the charts for the Sundays in January when the Sun is nearing the mid heaven for that day. Obviously this is for Haye Mill, so you will have to accept the approximation for your own geographical position but the interpretation should not vary too much from this one. It is a way of following the general trends throughout the month. Notice there are 4 Sundays in this month once again.
Last month moved through the whole spectrum of accepting things as being Fated, on to questioning that, and a growing resentment and cynicism towards the end of the month. Now what?
The week beginning the 5th January
Mercury has lost the opposition to Jupiter and so the T-Square has disappeared. It has also moved its challenge from Saturn to Neptune. The Sun has now formed a line of ease with Saturn. Pluto has lost its line of ease with Uranus. Venus is seemingly unaspected as it has moved into Pisces.
Fixed has lost a sign to Mutable, whilst both Fire and Air have each lost a sign to Water.
Cardinal 1 – Fixed 3 – Mutable 6
Fire 2 – Earth 2 – Air 2 – Water 4
Emotions are likely to be fairly intense and variable this week as a general acceptance of things declines and the need to project a personal persona comes to the fore.
Counsellors – It will be easy to let your Clients’ lose themselves in emotion, but try to bring some rational thought and challenge to your sessions.
Healers – you may feel that things have got away from you but try to stabilise things. You will also feel it is reactive rather than being at the helm of things.
The week beginning 12th January
Mercury has moved int Capricorn, has lost its challenge to Neptune but gained a line of ease with Venus. The Sun is in opposition to Mars as Mars has moved back into Cancer, but has also gained a line of ease with Uranus. Venus, conjunct with Saturn, challenges Jupiter. Neptune has lost its line of ease with Uranus.
Cardinal has gained three signs as Fixed has lost one and Mutable lost two. Fire has lost both signs as Earth has gained one, as has Water.
Cardinal 4 – Fixed 2 – Mutable 4
Fire 0 – Earth 3 – Air 2 – Water 5
Emotions will still win the day, especially as personal fire or backbone seems to fly away. Opportunities and Good Will are lacking. People will feel they have drawn the short straw in Life.
Counsellors – You will no doubt feel as if your Clients are going backwards no matter what you do. Persevere.
Healers – Last week was bad enough but things seem even worse this week.
The week beginning 19th January
The Sun and Pluto are conjunct. Venus and Saturn are conjunct. Uranus has lost its line of ease with the Sun but gained one with Mars.
The Modal scene is unchanged from last week but Water has lost a sign to Air.
Cardinal 4 – Fixed 2 – Mutable 4
Fire 0 – Earth 3 – Air 3 – Water 4
That short straw is growing in intensity. “Why are these things happening to me? What have I done to deserve this?”
Counsellors – Don’t fall into the trap of trying to explain or colluding with Clients’ philosophy of Life. Do nothing but reflect in a professional manner.
Healers – Things are beginning to show an approaching ease. Don’t hold your breath though.
The week beginning 26th January
The Sun has moved ahead of Pluto and into Aquarius, whilst Mercury is trying to catch up and so formed a weak bundle. Similarly, Venus has overtaken Saturn and so formed a weak bundle with Saturn and Neptune. This has formed a line of ease with Uranus, and so a small trine results on Uranus. Jupiter has also formed a line of ease with the Sun.
Cardinal has lost two signs, one each to Fixed and Mutable. Fire has gained a sign from Earth.
Cardinal 2 – Fixed 3 – Mutable 5
Fire 1 – Earth 2 – Air 3 – Water 4
Perhaps there is a spill over from the Christmas spirit, just a month late – but things have eased. The ‘why me’ feeling still persists but at least there are good feelings that suddenly shine through.
Counsellors – If you are working this week then try to highlight those sudden freeing and good feelings in your Clients.
Healers – You can breathe again, albeit shallowly!!
Thank good things are beginning to improve.
