Welcome to our January journey, where we merge astrology and aromachology with Halcyon Naturals and Illustrious Elements. This blog guides you through the month’s key astrological events, pairing each with a unique scent from our collections. Experience how these carefully crafted fragrances can enhance your daily life and align with the rhythm of the universe. Join us in this aromatic exploration of January’s astrological highlights.
January heralds a time for reflection and care. The year begins with Venus in Sagittarius squaring Saturn in Pisces, signalling a period where relationships might need thoughtful nurturing or some personal space. To complement this time, the soothing scents of Cypress, Tangerine, and Neroli from our Moon collection offer a serene backdrop.
As Mercury ends its retrograde phase in Sagittarius on January 2, and Mars enters Capricorn on the 4th, we’re reminded of the importance of daily routines. For many, this swift return to regular duties can be daunting. To aid in finding clarity and determination, our Capricorn-inspired blend of Bergamot, Juniper Berry, and Mandarin is perfectly crafted to instill focus and resilience.
The 6th of January brings a square between the Sun and Chiron, introducing a period of seriousness. During this time, the grounding aromas from our Earth Element collection, which includes Cinnamon leaf, Mandarin, and Vetiver, can create a focused and harmonious environment.
As we progress through mid-January, the astrological landscape becomes more dynamic. The New Moon in Capricorn on the 11th trines Uranus in Taurus, signalling unexpected changes and developments. To navigate through these surprises, the refreshing and invigorating scents of Peppermint, Rosemary, and Ylang Ylang from our Water Element collection are ideal.
The latter half of January is marked by Venus squaring Neptune on the 19th and Mercury forming a trine with Jupiter. This period is ripe for dreaming and desiring. Our Venus blend, with its luxurious aromas of Cedarwood, Rose Geranium, and Ylang Ylang, is crafted to uplift and inspire during this energetic phase.
The conjunction of the Sun and Pluto on the 20th marks a phase of significant transformation, particularly in Aquarius. This period is associated with themes of collective life and technological advancements. To accompany this transformative phase, the Aquarius-inspired blend of Neroli, Rose, and Vetiver offers a scent that encourages innovation and adaptation.
Finally, as the month concludes with Venus trine Jupiter on the 29th, we find ourselves in a time of stability and opportunity, perfect for embarking on new ventures. The invigorating scent of Cardamom, Lemon, and Black Pepper from our Mars collection is designed to complement decisive actions and fresh starts.
Halcyon Naturals and Illustrious Elements are here to provide an array of scents that not only align with January’s astrological events but also support and enhance your daily experiences throughout this dynamic month.
