In just over a week, expansive Jupiter enters sensual Taurus, opening a portal towards opulence, luxury, and PLEASURE. Now is the time
to lean fully and unapologetically into your desires, babe — offer yourself indulgence and weave the planetary magic of Jupiter into an abundance ritual!
When working planetary magic, a transformation is inherently necessary. Jupiter's transit through Taurus will open us up to gifts of pleasure, sensuality, and abundance — but to build a ritual in collaboration with Jupiter, we first need to examine our relationship with these themes. Start with yourself;
you're the greatest love of your life, the best lay, the best companion, and the longest relationship you'll ever have! How do you want to channel the energy of Jupiter in Taurus to weave a lasting expansion spell in your life?
Our advice? Bring Jupiter's energies
into the bath with you. Water has a magical ability to hold us, carry our hopes and dreams, and help us channel our Guides in magical workings. Taking baths has also been shown to have a bevy of health benefits, from promoting better sleep to reduced stress levels. But there's another benefit of bathing: this practice can help foster a stronger relationship with your body, your desire, and your needs. When we develop a loving relationship with ourselves, it sets the tone for all other
relationships in our lives — human and more than human. Cultivating a sensual, nourishing self-tending practice like bathing will absolutely ripple out into your relationship with the planet Jupiter, and by extension, your sensuality and abundance.
What makes something a Ritual?
When we boil ritual down, it's all about
intention. When prayer, intention, and mindfulness are utilized, a simple bath can turn into a transformative experience! Making a bathing ritual feel abundant and juicy is only about making sure you feel it is so. Here are some suggestions for weaving Jupiter's energies into your bath ritual:
- Engage the senses: Fresh flowers, oils, candles, reading material, music, lighting. What do you already have and love that can enhance your bath?
- Set an intention: Do some automatic writing to get to the bottom of what you want this bath to be about. What do you want to shift in your relationship to wealth, expansion, adventure, and desire?
- Prioritize pleasure: Does the ritual feel stale or out of alignment? Don't do it! Instead light a candle, say a self-love
prayer and have an orgasm about it (or, you know, whatever feels good to you.)
- Reflect: Jot a few lines or
journal after you leave the bath. You might be too relaxed to remember it later, so make some notes about what tools you used and how it felt so you can re-create this experience if you choose. This is how spell books are made, babe.
What comes to mind right now? What kind of bath ritual possibilities would make you feel most in love with yourself? Here's an ABUNDANT bath ritual for you to try as Jupiter enters Taurus on May 16th (or anytime you want to woo yourself, you expansive, amazing babe!)
A Bath Ritual for Invoking Jupiter in Taurus
You will need:
- A flat surface to build a bath
altar on (a bath tray works well, but so would a slat of wood that's been cut to size!)
- Green or gold candle
- The Queen of Pentacles or Empress card from your tarot deck (or some other image that invokes luxury, nurturance, and plentiful resources)
- A glass of iced tea, or another bubbly drink of choice
- Fresh flowers and a vase (snag a bouquet at the grocery store!)
Set the scene before you begin building your altar — as you draw your bath, close your eyes and settle back into your body. Hold your unlit candle and envision the energies of Jupiter in Taurus reaching out to hold and support you in reaching you goals. State your intentions aloud!
Whisper your dreams of sensual abundance into your candle, into your bath water, into the flowers. Let these magical tools know how to help you, and allow them to give them support generously. Then, set your altar.
Arrange your flowers in a vase full of fresh water, pour
your iced bubbly, and set your tarot card or talisman near your ritual candle. Ease into your bath, and light your candle. Soak for as long as it feels good, have an orgasm or two, give yourself a massage, then dry off and leave your altar to work its magic. Remember to thank the tools on your altar for their assistance!
Outside the bath, remember to take up space, stretch, sing, sip your tea really slowly, recite poetry to yourself. Abundance is an overflowing well, let your intentions land on the Altar that is your body as well as the one you've built.
