Closing Out the Year with Intention: Preparing for a Transformative 2025

As the year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of the Alchemy Practice community. It’s been an incredible year of growth and transformation, and I’m so excited to share that I’ve been working behind the scenes on a brand relaunch set for January 2025! This is my last blog post for the year, but don’t worry—I’ll be back in the new year with fresh insights, resources, and a renewed vision to support your healing journey.

But before we dive into the excitement of what’s to come, let’s focus on finishing this year strong and setting the stage for a successful and intentional new year.

Preparing for the New Year: Setting Goals with Purpose

The transition from December to January is the perfect time to reflect, reset, and prepare for the year ahead. Here are a few ways you can make the most of this powerful season:

1. Reflect on the Past Year

   • Celebrate your wins—big and small.

   • Acknowledge areas for growth without judgment.

   • Write down the lessons you’ve learned and how they’ve shaped you.

2. Set Intentional Goals

   • Instead of resolutions, focus on intentions—what qualities or values do you want to embody in 2025?

   • Break down your goals into actionable steps and add deadlines to keep yourself accountable.

   • Use the “SMART” framework: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound.

3. Create a Vision Board or Journal

   • Use images, words, or phrases that align with your goals.

   • Keep your vision board somewhere visible to keep your aspirations top of mind.

Harnessing Astrology for Success

This December brings potent astrological events that can guide and amplify your personal growth.

• Full Moon in Cancer (December 26)
  As the year ends, this full moon invites you to reflect on emotional well-being and your connection to home and family. It’s a great time to:

  • Release old habits or emotional baggage that no longer serves you.

  • Focus on self-care rituals that help you feel nurtured and grounded.

• Pluto in Aquarius (2023–2044)
  Pluto, the planet of transformation, is settling into Aquarius for the next 20 years, signaling a period of collective innovation and personal reinvention. This is a powerful time to:

  • Embrace change and step into your authentic self.

  • Leverage technology and community-building to support your goals.

  • Let go of fears around individuality and allow yourself to shine in your unique way.
