Daily Magic: January 14, 2025

PLEASE NOTE: As of this week, I’ve begun to deviate from the information found in Llewellyn’s Yearly Magical Almanac (which I once relied on heavily). As I’ve learned more about color and herb magic, I’ve found that I don’t always agree with the almanac’s selections for color and incense of the day.

Instead, I’ll be choosing color, incense, and crystal of the day based on the current day’s ruling planet and influences – in a way that appeals more to me personally. Sometimes these choices will be the same as those found in the almanac, and sometimes not.

Here are your witchy correspondences for Tuesday, January 14, 2025:

  • Color of the Day: Red
  • Crystal of the Day: Red Jasper
  • Incense of the Day: Basil
  • Number of the Day: Six
  • Moon of the Day: Waning Cancer to Leo

Tuesday is ruled by Mars. Magical influences include passion, sex, courage, aggression, and protection.

If you’re performing divination, it’s a good day to ask questions related to problems and difficulties (in any area of your life).

Color of the Day: Red

Red is associated with Mars, the day’s ruling planet, and the element fire. Magical properties of the color red include strength, danger, energy, courage, love, lust, and passion.

Red symbolizes strength, power, and self-confidence. When used negatively, red can be destructive. But when used positively, it is creative, ambitious, persistent, and fun-loving.

Crystal of the Day: Red Jasper

Red Jasper is a projective stone ruled by the planet Mars and associated with the element fire. Magical properties of red jasper include protection, defense, healing, and beauty.

Often utilized in defensive magic, red jasper is a wonderful protective stone. It sends negativity back to the original sender. It can also be carried or worn during healing spells, and worn by young women to promote beauty and grace.

Incense of the Day: Basil

Basil is a masculine herb ruled by the planet Mars and associated with the element fire. Magical properties of basil include love, exorcism, wealth, flying, and protection.

Use basil in love sachets and incenses, love divination, exorcism incense, and purification baths. Small amounts can be added to each room of your home to bring protection. Basil is also strewn upon floors, because where it is, no evil can live.

NOTE: If you don’t have the herb/incense of the day, check out my list of herb and incense substitutions for more ideas.

Number of the Day: Six

The numerological day is determined by adding up the total of the current day, month, and year – then reducing this number down to a single digit.

January 14, 2025 is a “six” day.

Six days are good for home and family activities. All close relationships are favored today.

Moon of the Day: Waning Cancer to Leo

The day begins with the moon in Cancer, but it moves into Leo at 4:12 AM EST.

The waning moon (the time from the full moon to the new) is a time for study, meditation, and little magical work – except magic designed to banish harmful energies.

Moon in Cancer stimulates emotional rapport between people. Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurturance. Tends to domestic concerns.

Moon in Leo draws emphasis to the self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with others and other emotional needs. People tend to be melodramatic.
