Those born in January are known for their determination, discipline, and ambition. As ๐พ๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ฃ๐จ (๐ช๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ก ๐
๐๐ฃ๐ช๐๐ง๐ฎ 19๐ฉ๐) and ๐ผ๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ง๐๐๐ฃ๐จ (๐
๐๐ฃ๐ช๐๐ง๐ฎ 20๐ฉ๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐๐ง), they tend to have a strong sense of responsibility, a grounded work ethic, and a natural ability to lead. January-born individuals are practical yet innovative, with a deep desire to achieve their goals and improve the world around them.
In 2025, they can expect a year of self-discovery and growth. Capricorns may find themselves reassessing their career path, while Aquarians could experience an awakening in their personal relationships. With Jupiter's influence, both signs are likely to encounter opportunities for expansion, creativity, and new beginnings. It will be a year to trust their instincts, embrace change, and focus on long-term goals.

As January progresses, begin preparing for Imbolc, the celebration of light and renewal. This involves cleaning and organizing your home, creating candles for ritual use, and planning your Imbolc altar. The seeds you metaphorically plant in January will blossom as the Wheel of the Year turns.
January 2025 holds immense potential for those ready to align with its energy. By honoring the cycles of the Earth and cosmos, you can set the stage for a transformative and magickal year ahead. May your forge burn bright!
