Daily Magic: January 17, 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 Friday, January 17, 2025:

  • Color of the Day: Green
  • Crystal of the Day: Green Calcite
  • Incense of the Day: Thyme
  • Number of the Day: Nine
  • Moon of the Day: Waning Virgo

Friday is ruled by Jupiter. Magical properties include love, friendship, reconciliation, compassion, beauty, pleasure, harmony, sensuality, youth, joy, and happiness.

It’s a good day to spend time with friends, go on a date with your romantic partner, meditate, focus on self-care, and most of all – perform spells to cultivate love, beauty, harmony, and pleasure in your life and relationships.

Color of the Day: Green

Green is associated with Venus, the day’s ruling planet, and the element earth. Magical properties of the color green include money, health, prosperity, luck, fertility, and beauty.

Green is a soothing, restful, and nurturing color. It’s the color of nature, and as such, it symbolizes growth and abundance. It’s also the color of renewal, which relates it to hope and longevity.

Crystal of the Day: Green Calcite

Green calcite is a receptive stone ruled by the planet Venus and associated with the element earth. Magical properties of green calcite include wealth, prosperity, and abundance.

This stone draws money and prosperity. Place green calcite around flaming green candles every morning for a few minutes to attract abundance to your household. This works best if you spend a few moments visualizing too!

Incense of the Day: Thyme

Thyme is a feminine herb ruled by the planet Venus and associated with the element water. Magical properties of thyme include health, healing, sleep, psychic powers, love, purification, and courage.

Burn thyme as incense to attract good health (or wear it for the same purpose). Thyme is often burned to cleanse an area prior to magical work. Use thyme in healing and purification incense blends, and in those to improve psychic powers.

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: Nine

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 17, 2025 is a “nine” day.

A nine day is a good day for reevaluation and for making future plans. Emotions are heightened, and you may need to be understanding and compassionate towards others.

Moon of the Day: Waning Virgo

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. It’s an opportune time to get rid of destructive attitudes, rid yourself of toxic people, and/or embark on a detox journey.

Moon in Virgo favors accomplishment of details and commands from higher up. Focuses on health, hygiene, and daily schedules.
