Cosmic balance and transformation
The six-planet alignment on 21st January 2025 is a rare and mesmerising event – a celestial reminder of the harmony within the universe. As Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn align, their energies offer a profound opportunity for reflection, balance, and transformation. This alignment invites us to harmonise our own ‘inner planets’ – our emotions, goals, and actions – to flow in alignment with our higher purpose.
To channel this cosmic energy, I’ve created a Seed of Life crystal grid, focusing on transformation, balance, and interconnection.

Focus stone: Labradorite
Labradorite is the perfect centrepiece for this grid. Known as the stone of transformation and intuition, it resonates beautifully with the energy of alignment, helping to bring clarity to your life’s path. Its shimmering flashes of colour mirror the celestial dance of the planets, reminding us of the magic in transformation. Place this stone at the centre to anchor the grid’s energy.
Surrounding stones: Amethyst and Citrine
Amethyst surrounds the focus stone in the first layer, acting as a bridge to higher consciousness. Its connection to intuition and clarity aligns perfectly with the visionary energy of Uranus and Neptune. This layer fosters calm reflection, helping you to tune into the messages from the cosmos during this celestial event.
Citrine forms the second layer, radiating joy, abundance, and confidence. Its bright, solar energy connects with the fiery determination of Mars and the expansive optimism of Jupiter, encouraging you to boldly align your actions with your goals. This layer uplifts and energises, creating a powerful flow of positivity.
Intention stone: Lapis Lazuli
Positioned at the outer points of the grid, Lapis Lazuli serves as the intention stone. Known as the stone of truth and self-awareness, it embodies the wisdom of Saturn while opening your mind to the deeper insights of Venus’s loving energy. Use this stone to set an intention for balance and harmony in your life.
Complementary stones: Blue Lace Agate and Peridot
Blue Lace Agate: This gentle stone complements the grid by promoting peace and communication, encouraging clarity as you navigate your personal alignment. Its soothing energy resonates with Venus’s harmonious vibrations.
Peridot: With its vibrant green hue, Peridot embodies renewal and growth, connecting with the transformative energy of Mars. It reminds us to release what no longer serves us and embrace new possibilities.
You can use your intuition to add additional complementary stones. I’ve used Herkimer Diamonds in my grid. These radiant stones elevate the grid’s ability to connect with higher vibrations, making them ideal for this cosmic moment.
Protection stone: Black Tourmaline
For the perimeter, Black Tourmaline is ideal. Its grounding and protective qualities shield the grid from negative energies, ensuring the alignment’s transformational energy remains focused and undisturbed. Place these stones evenly around the grid’s edge for a protective boundary.
Arranging your crystal grid
- Begin with the Seed of Life design and place your Labradorite in the centre.
- Arrange Amethyst in the first ring, followed by Citrine in the second.
- Position Lapis Lazuli at the outer points to hold your intention.
- Intertwine Blue Lace Agate and Peridot between the layers for added balance and flow.
- Place Black Tourmaline along the perimeter to seal the grid.
Activating your crystal grid
Once your grid is arranged, sit quietly before it. Visualise the six-planet alignment and feel its energy guiding you towards balance and clarity. Using a quartz or selenite point, or the index finger on your dominant hand, trace the lines of the Seed of Life pattern, activating the grid with your intention for harmony and transformation.
Healing and metaphysical benefits
This grid mirrors the celestial harmony above, inviting balance into your life. It promotes clarity, transformation, and a deep sense of alignment with your goals. As the planets align, let this grid help you align with your higher self, inspiring you to move forward with renewed energy and purpose.
Take time to reflect under the night sky. The universe is aligning – are you?
