Today's Full Moon is in Taurus, a sensual sign which favours beauty and abundance. Taurus is ruled by Venus (the Goddess of Beauty and Pleasure), so today felt like the perfect time to launch my new range of Sacred Beauty Gift packs. If you are looking for something extra special to give this Christmas, (or drop the hint to someone buying for you) you can explore these gorgeous gifts here (there's only a few of each available due to low stock so get in quick!).
Exact at 12:53pm tonight Sydney time, this Full Moon is known as a Super Moon as it will be the closest it's been to the Earth since the 1940s and with it will come heightened emotions and an opportunity to think about what matters to us. Venus rules the heart, emotions, creativity and manifestation. Taurus energy favours working on abundance issues and appreciating beauty and the pleasures of life. Taurus also reminds us to look at our own self worth and feelings of security.
It is the perfect time to spend quality time with those you love, nurturing your relationships as well as making time for yourself to celebrate YOU! It is also timely to beautify your home space. Scatter beautiful cushions, adorn your walls with inspiring artwork, buy fresh flowers and burn oils or incense to create a truly gorgeous home.
Simple Full Moon Ritual
Dedicate some time tonight to Sacred Self Care and celebrating your own beauty.
Make a natural beautifying face mask out of mashed avocado and papaya. Avocado is rich in natural oils and papaya naturally contains enzymes which help to digest dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and supple. Non vegans might like to combine this mixture with a little organic honey or natural yogurt to help bind the ingredients and increase the moisturising properties. Apply to clean skin, leaving on for 10 minutes.
Run yourself a healing bath (or foot bath) adding 2 drops of grounding Patchouli or Vetiver, 2 drops of uplifting Sweet Orange and one drop of sensual Ylang Ylang with half a cup of sea salt or epsom salts. You might want to sprinkle in some fresh rose petals and light some candles to create a truly luxurious and sensual experience. Sink into your bath and focus on what you want to manifest in your life and that which you want to continue to nurture, whether it be creating an inspiring and beautiful home, nurturing wonderfully fulfilling relationships or making time to bring more sacred self care into your life.
If you can, try to identify what might hold you back from taking more time out for yourself, how can you foster a stronger sense of self worth and confidence?
When we feel confident in ourselves we can more easily attract what we want, but we also need to make space in our lives to invite change.
- List three things you love about yourself
- List three things you are grateful for in your life
- List three things you are ready to release (limiting self beliefs, bad habits, commitments that don't resonate, a situation or even physical clutter) in order to make space in your life for more of the good stuff.
Take a few moment to connect inwards, visualise your heart space opening like a blossoming rose and send yourself some deep, unconditional love. You are beautiful, inside and out...
Don't forget to place your crystals out under the moon to be cleansed and charged.
Enjoy!
All my love
