Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Ritual

The Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is a powerful time for releasing negativity and welcoming positive energy into your life. I will be doing this ritual tomorrow to release negative thought patterns I have about the past. I will just re-play things and it is a waste of time. The past is gone. We only have the present moment and the lessons we learned from the past. No need to keep playing scenarios on repeat. I realize part of this tendency is I keep asking myself why I did certain things. I think a truth people don’t want to admit and of myself this has been the case up until recently. That sometimes people don’t know why they do things. We act based upon imprinted patterns over time. Actions from our childhood and then subsequent relationships form these patterns. I have done things and then felt bad or ashamed. After reflection I realize most bad decisions are made out some form of fear or attachment. I am still working out some of these concepts and their relationships but I am seeing patterns emerge. I have also noticed that when reliving these memories I demean myself with negative self talk when what I really need to be doing is forgiving myself. Forgive myself for negative things I have done. Do this ritual with me and banish negativity from your life using the power of the moon.

You Will Need:

1. Candles:
   • A black candle for banishing negative energy.
   • A green candle for grounding and the influence of Taurus.
2. Crystals:
   • Black Tourmaline for protection and grounding.
   • Rose Quartz for self-love and healing.
3. Essential Oils:
   • Lavender oil for relaxation and purification.
   • Frankincense oil for grounding and banishing negativity.
4. Incense:
   • Sage or sandalwood incense for cleansing and purifying. I use a sage bundle and sage the area as part of preparing the space.
5. Matches or a lighter.
6. Journal and pen.

Ritual Steps:

1. Prepare Your Space:
   • Find a quiet, comfortable space to set up your altar. Light the incense to purify the area.
2. Cast a Circle:
   • Walk around your altar in a clockwise direction, visualizing a protective circle forming around you. This circle will keep you safe during the ritual.
3. Anoint the Candles:
   • Take about 1/2 teaspoon of jojoba oil and a few drops of frankincense for cleansing negative energy. Rub your fingers in the oil. Focus your intention and rub the oil on black candle.
   • For the green candle, take about 1/2 teaspoon of jojoba oil and add a couple drops of lavender for anointing the candle. Proceed as you did with the black candle. If the candle is in a jar, just anoint the top. Any leftover oil you can rub into your skin and nails.
4. Light the Candles:
   • Light the black candle and say, “I banish all negativity from my life.”
   • Light the green candle and say, “I welcome the grounding and healing energy of Taurus.”
5. Hold the Crystals:
   • Hold the Black Tourmaline and say, “With this crystal, I release negative energy from my being.”
   • Hold the Rose Quartz and say, “With this crystal, I welcome self-love and healing.”
6. Meditation:
   • Close your eyes and meditate on releasing all negativity. Visualize it leaving your body and dissipating into the black candle’s flame.
7. Write Your Intentions:
   • Take your journal and write down your intentions for positive changes and the release of negativity in your life.
8. Closing:
   • Thank the elements and deities (if you work with them) for their presence.
   • Close the circle by walking around it counterclockwise, visualizing the protective energy fading.
9. Extinguish the Candles:
   • Blow out the candles, and as you do, say, “The negativity is banished, and I am grounded.”

Conclusion: This Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse ritual is a potent way to banish negativity and invite positive energy into your life. Regularly practicing such rituals can help you maintain a sense of balance, peace, and harmony in your journey towards natural beauty and well-being.
