NASA predicts that the first Full Moon will reach peak illumination on January 13, 2025 and will last three days.
For several years, I have been interested in the movement of the stars and planets around us. In fact, from the moment we come into the light, the planets influence our lives, actions, thoughts, and daily decisions. Our successes or failures are only partly determined by us; the rest is the work of the planets.
If we learn to align with the Universe, we can change the course of our lives. Life flows easily, and obstacles become only detours, allowing us to find our way again without getting lost.
My way of being in tune with the Universe is by honouring the colours of the planets as they move daily. They give me all the energy I need and the guidance in the search for my well-being. If I am well, others around me are well too.
The Moon’s natural colours are white/grey/beige/brown, depending on how we see it, but this January the Moon becomes red/orange due to the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere and a particular viewing angle. For the next three days, wearing one of the Moon’s natural colours will help us feel good about ourselves, but the colours that will make a real difference in making us feel even better and going with the flow of the universe are red and orange.
Red and orange are two hot colours for the winter season. Most people tend to wear dark clothes in the winter to be naturally in tune with the gloom, rain, grey skies and shorter days. However, a red pair of shoes with a pair of red gloves and a red hat over a brown or grey coat will brighten any winter day.
To push this idea even further, you can also eat red and orange food for the next three days and decorate your home with some red or orange accessories. Fresh red roses in all rooms will do if you are not into decorating habits. I move my decorative items around and keep the colours I need for my therapy closer to me. To change colours around according to the planets seems like a lot of fuss. I have invested in beauty for a life, it’s my philosophy.

A few years ago, I became a colour therapist and even though I have been in the design business for more than three decades, I feel there is still so much to learn in this field that can help me and others. Ciao,
Valentina
