Why the First 13 Days of January are Critical to Your 2025 Success
The first thirteen days of January’s energy calls us to start on the left foot. You read that correctly! The left side of the body is the feminine and associated with the spiritual whereas right is masculine and more physical world focused. And we are being called to continue to embrace a spiritually guided life as we kick off the new year.
2025 is also a 9 energy year (2+0+2+5=9). The 9 is a feminine energy and is encouraging our attention to the spiritual realms.
We concluded the last 14 days of 2024 with the full suit of the hearts followed by the Joker, the only time of the year that this occurs. We felt deeply and were reminded to let love be our guiding force. The Joker reminded us that all things are possible and that we are the creator of our own reality.
Now we are experiencing the full suit of spades as January opens for the only time of the year. The spades are beckoning us to look within and connect with our Soul's higher purpose.
I love this time of year as I feel very much at home in the spades energy with my Three of Spades birth card. As a spade, I can tell you that we search for deeper meaning in everything we see, do, and experience.
The spades are here to work hard, but not in the more conventional idea of blood, sweat and tears. They’re not interested in the old slave system of work for forty-five years to save up for retirement, travel a bit, and die.
Spade energy calls us to a higher spiritual purpose. It wants us to focus on spiritual development for the sake of the journey itself. It’s not about healing or karma clearing - that’s all behind us. This is a spiritual journey with a much bigger vision - ensuring humanity evolves.
This is a deeply sacred time for inner reflection, Soul connection, and setting intentions based on a higher vision. The Spades remind us that 80% of the “work” is inner-focused and now is the time for that.
Does this mean that we sit around and meditate all day and do nothing else? Absolutely not!
But it does mean making space, perhaps a little more than usual to connect in deeply, spend some time in solitude, and get really clear about why you’re taking the actions you are taking. Are they intuitively guided or is your ego driving the show?
There will be plenty of time to focus on the physical world when the diamonds arrive on the 14th. And when they do, if you’ve done your inner work, you’ll find that things flow much more easily in your physical world experiences.
If there’s one thing we’ve been learning over this past nine year cycle that we are concluding in 2025, it’s that inner reflection, contemplation, and meditation are no longer an optional luxury. In order for us individually and collectively to ascend to higher states of consciousness, these practices are mandatory.
The spades intentionally fall at the start of the new year, during serious Capricorn season, ruled by Saturn, to remind us to be accountable to our higher purpose and Soul mission. They provide us with thirteen days of integration of the new year’s energy and preparation for allowing Soul to lead our intentions for the year ahead.
Mindfulness is your best tool in these ever-changing and transformative times. By the end of 2025, your life and the world will be vastly different than perhaps you can now imagine. Embrace the infinite possibilities, the blank slate, and vision your life and the world as you want it to be. Take the intuitively guided next steps and trust.
