ideas for taurus moon rituals:
Prepare yourself a lovely, nourishing, healthy meal that is also honoring of the Earth. If celebrating with other women, bring nurturing food to share. Pray over it, thanking the Sacred Feminine for the bounty of the Earth & honoring your bodies as part of this Sacredness.
Plant some seeds to produce food for yourself, watching the process from seed to your plate. Or plant the seeds of a scented flower that soon is to blossom in all its gorgeous sensuality.
Since Taurus rules the throat chakra, chanting or singing is particularly appropriate. Sing that song in your living room, in the shower, in your car or even at a karaoke bar.
Revel in the sensual. Nourish your senses by savoring things delicious to the tastebuds, soft to the touch, delightfully scented, exquisite to gaze upon & soothing to the ear. Let this Moon ritual be particularly rich with gifts for the senses. Embody the celebration of abundance & pleasure - deserved moments.
Journal about things that bring you the most pleasure. Give the topic of pleasure some of your time & attention. How much pleasure do you allow yourself? Do you over-indulge or not let it in often? How can you best honor pleasure while keeping it balanced & sacred? These are worthy topics to ponder by yourself or to discuss with other women in ritual circle.
Similarly, think of, write about & share what most nourishes you. Meditate on receiving the things that make you feel supported & nurtured.
Since Taurus rules money & financial resources, do a ritual manifesting money in abundance.
Purchase one classy, high-quality luxury item that can bring you pleasure for years to come. If you can get a great deal on something with a designer label, even better. Practical luxury.
Go for an upscale spa day. Only the best for the goddess.
