The Taurus Full Moon on October 26 carries a weight of energy with it. This supercharged Full Moon is activating so many points in our cosmic skies that we are likely to be feeling all the feels!
You can learn more about the astrology behind this Full Moon by reading the Taurus Full Moon Astrology Forecast, but if you want to activate and work with these energies, this ritual is for you!
In this ritual, we will work with the Taurean energies to center our mind, body, and soul. We will work with the vibration of calmness to help navigate all the heat and energy coming from this Full Moon.
This ritual has been reworked from a similar ritual that I created for the Taurus Full Moon back in 2018. The energies we are experiencing now echo this time frame, so I thought it would be fitting to return to a similar practice.
If you haven’t already, I also strongly recommend downloading the Eight Lunar Gateways of Venus. It’s an excellent workbook to help you dive deeper into a lot of the Venus Retrograde themes we are experiencing right now. This workbook will run the entire length of the Venus cycle, so you can use it for the next 19 months!
I hope you enjoy the ritual!
Taurus Full Moon Ritual for Calming and Centering Yourself
This ritual is best done right after a shower or a bath.
You will need:
- Aura cleansing tool of choice (eg., sage, palo santo, essential oil sprays)
- One Candle (preferably white)
- Handful of Leaves or flowers (dried or fresh)
- 1 Piece of Paper and a Pen
- Incense or essential oil burner (optional)
Directions:
1.) Begin by cleansing your aura and surroundings. As you cleanse your aura, recite the following-
“I am cleansing myself, light and free. I am cleansing myself so I can be me. I am cleansing away the struggles of my past; I am cleansing and opening my heart. My heart is now open, and I am aligned. My heart is now open, and I am aligned.”
As you cleanse your surroundings, recite the following-
“I cleanse this space with light and loving energy. Only positive energy may enter this space. I cleanse this space with light and loving energy. It is safe for me to dwell here; it is safe for me to call this space home. My home is cleansed, and I am renewed. My home is cleansed, and I am renewed.”
2.) Next, start by lighting your incense or oil burner if using. I really like earthy oils for this ritual, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Light your candle and place it on the floor or on a table in front of you.
3.) Take your piece of paper and draw either a triangle, circle, or heart on it. Choose whichever symbol speaks to you the most. To help you choose, triangles represent the mind, the body, and the spirit. Circles represent wholeness or completion, and hearts represent love. If you wish, you can also draw another symbol that has special meaning for you.
4.) Place your candle on top of your symbol. Try to place the candle in the middle of the symbol. Take your leaves or flowers, and place them around the paper so it looks pretty. (Part of ritual work is the beauty of it too!)
5.) Take a deep breath to settle yourself. If you are sitting at a table, be sure that your feet are flat on the floor. If you are on the floor, try to sit up cross-legged so you feel rooted and connected to the ground.
6.) Place your hands over your heart center. You can also place them over your belly. Use your instincts for where you want to place them. Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths here.
7.) Now take one of the flowers/leaves in your left hand with palm facing up. Look at the leaf/flower and repeat the following three times:
“The energy of Mother Earth guides me as to what I need to release.”
8.) Now take your hands in prayer position so the leaf/flower is wedged between both hands. Close your eyes and breathe deeply here. Repeat the mantra to yourself as best as you can remember.
9.) Still holding your leaf/flower, stand up and shake out your body. As you shake, imagine you are releasing and letting go of any anxiety, any frustrations, any pains, any hurts. Just stand up and shake it all out. Keep shaking and moving your body until you feel released and cleansed. Trust that Mother Earth is helping you release whatever needs to get out of your body.
10.) Sit back down. Take your leaf/flower that’s in your hand and exhale into it. Imagine exhaling any remaining anxieties, frustrations, or hurts. Just blow it all out into the leaf/flower- it can handle it!
11.) Place that leaf/flower off to the side and pick up another one. Hold it in your right hand this time with palm facing up. Look at the leaf/flower and repeat the following three times:
“The energy of Mother Earth supports and nourishes my soul.”
12.) Again, bring your hands to prayer position. Close your eyes and take 9 deep breaths. 9 is the number of completion. On your 10th inhale, open your eyes, look at the leaf/flower in your hand, and imagine inhaling beautiful, supportive energy from Mother Earth. Imagine that breath coming into your body and supporting and nourishing your soul.
13.) Place that flower/leaf off to the side with the other one you just used.
14.) Now gaze upon your candle, and with hands in prayer position, repeat the following or feel free to say whatever you feel in the moment-
“I call on my highest spiritual guides and angels to help me stay in my center and stay in my calm. I know that Mother Earth is always guiding and protecting me, and I thank her for that. I thank the divine within and remain open to its guidance. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
15.) Blow out the candle. You can keep the symbol, candle, and the leaves/flowers as decoration on your altar, or you can discard the flowers/leaves in the garden and recycle the paper- whatever you wish.
For the two leaves/flowers you worked with during this ritual, bury them in the garden, drop them off the top of a hill/building into the wind, or toss them in the ocean as soon as possible after completing this ritual.
Happy Full Moon!
