Taurus Lunar Cycle Ritual Inspiration 2025

Taurus Lunar Cycle Ritual Inspiration 2025

Welcome Ghouls and Demons to this Lunar Cycle’s Ritual Inspiration! The Aries Cycle may have felt like quite the doozy with those Mars Opposition transits. Or perhaps shedding the face portion of your old skin was quite intense. I would argue that shedding the mask is the hardest part of any growth phase, particularly within a Year of the Serpent collective theme. I know I personally broke out and had to tend to some serious skin care after the Full Moon in Libra. Shedding, healing and evolving are not always the prettiest expressions. Think about how a wound heals and becomes a flaky and dry scab towards the end. Self care is a crucial part of this Year of the Snake. Taking your transformation in strides and ensuring at each phase you pause to nurture the rebirth part of your soul. While we may not feel “fully” reborn yet, it is also important to tap into the layers of scales, rebirths and aspects of the soul that are rebirthing/evolving at what time. This will look differently for everyone overall, as we are all on our own personal journeys. However, there are always collective themes. Yet, simultaneously there are a variety of themes within each collective theme. For instance, Taurus is not just about hard work, dedication and Earthly elements. Taurus is also about beauty, harmony and all the Venusian themes as well. How can you integrate all areas of each energy? Just as we all have our own coffee routine, you will need to determine how much cream and how much sugar are perfect for your daily ritual and elixir of life through this lunar cycle.

To redirect, I connect an aspect of Aries energy and the Aries Lunar Cycle to elements of a “New Born” phase of being. The shedding of the skin in connection to our Lunar Spirit Guide can be related to the skin that peels away after a baby is born. Now that we have birthed into this realm, it is time to engage in the later stages of the New Born development and perhaps some areas of early stage toddlerhood. With all Earth energies, grounding and building a foundation of bone strength and stability is significantly important. Depending on your pace, intention and all of the above that is personal to you, you may feel you are learning to crawl, walk or jump. Either way you are figuring out the best way to move physically and building a new level of strength. As the fun and exciting creative ideas of Aries season began to blossom, now we have Taurus here to show us, guide us and integrate us into the disciplinary dedication it takes to tend to those ideas and defend them with stubborn beauty and love. As well, to a luxuriously high standard.

Dark Moon Taurus Ritual:  “Planting Seeds” April 27th, 2025

For this New Moon Ritual, I love to connect to literal Earth and Gardening elements. I find Taurus to represent the garden more than any other Earth Sign. Taurus gleams of a fruitful, bountiful garden that is decorated with the most gorgeous flowers available. As we surrender to the lunar phase of rest, meditation and insight, it can be a wonderful time to map out the next phases of your garden. Depending on where you are in the world, it is either a great time to literally plant your seedlings/seeds in your garden, or it is time to prepare your garden for planting. Down South, your garden may already have been started. Up North, you may need to wait another few weeks. Perhaps you live in an apartment or do not have the best green thumb, it will not matter. Find your way to connect to seedlings/seeds and a garden of your very own. I suggest adding these lunar intentions and workings to the seedlings planted with your New Year’s Resolutions, or perhaps as you have shed some skin, you find that you need to plant new seeds. Wherever you are on your path, embrace it. You are perfectly on time. Taurus is the master at slow and steady wins the race.

For me, I will most likely utilize a bouquet from a flower shop. If you have a garden, connect with the energies and spirits to assist you in your intentions. There can be a handful of ways to complete this ritual. Perhaps you add biodegradable written intentions and bury them near the roots of your already planted seedlings/plants. You may do this for houseplants as well. This can depend on the specific connections you are wishing to manifest in your life. House plants can be perfect for hearth energy, 4th house energy or Cancerian/Family theme intentions or for simple home foundation settings, cleansings or protections. Apply these bones to whichever themes of work it is you are focusing on. As I said above, for me, a person who has a challenged green thumb, I will utilize a bouquet of flowers. With the bouquet you can roll your intentions around the stems of the flowers, or insert them into the center of the flower. Roses, tulips or other more closed like blossoms will be best to hold the intentions. With a bouquet you can then place the bouquet on the appropriate altar for display and altar workings. You may decide to utilize the petals of the flowers and complete written intentions on the petals or a “he loves me, he loves me not” style divination reading. Recycle, integrate or alchemize the petals from the divination into your spell workings. Add them to your altar, place them in a jar spell, sprinkle them out your window and allow the wind to take them where they need to go.

The creative expression is up to you and what feels most aligned within the elements and of your desired intention. Regardless, ensure you are grounding in this reborn sense of self. Perhaps take a restful nap out on the meadow as you meditate into your intention setting. Perhaps you do some heavy lifting in creating the space necessary for your intentions. For example, literally cleaning out your garden. Or maybe your garage or a spare bedroom to have an area designated for the work you are set to do. Tap into all your senses and embrace the sensuality of all you dream to manifest in this life. Make the hard work beautiful and harmonious.

As always and a quick note of reminder, at the New Moon, this is a great time to cleanse your space. I tend to do so the day before the New Moon, as I clear out the old energy from the previous cycle, however sometime the timing works out as it needs to. With Taurus energy we connect into a deeper spring cleaning. Aries season may not have felt as serious with the disciplinary needs of clearing out the garden. Or perhaps it was still unpredictable with the weather. With Taurus, we welcome in better weather, longer days and the signs of more certainty within the elements. Release any guilt of timelines and embrace the present moment of how the cycle has manifested for you. Taurus is a dedicated, strong and disciplined worker, however they equally rest and embrace that they did all they could without pressure. Save that pressure for Virgo and (especially) Capricorn energies. Taurus is meant to feel a bit lighter and more harmonious.

First Quarter Leo Ritual:  “Garden Beautification” May 4th, 2025

For this First Quarter Ritual, we embrace the take action element of the moon, on Star Wars Day, with a Leo First Quarter. With Leo I tend to lean towards the external expression of magick. How can you creatively take action or express yourself, your intentions and your magick to the world? How can you align your external self with the internal authentic self? How can you release any expressions of bravado or unhealthy attention seeking behaviors? How can you allow yourself to take up more space and welcome genuine attention for your light? This can include changing how you dress, changing your hair, adjusting your social media presence or simply showing up as you are loud and proud. If you are a witch or spiritualist? Don’t shy away from those titles. Escape the broom closet. Do not fear what others think or feel about who it is that you are. Are you of a certain political spectrum, but remain quiet out of fear? Let it go. Be yourself and allow your community to find you. Quit chasing a community that does not and will not embrace the truth within your heart.

We can connect this ritual another layer of our spring cleaning. What is holding up literal space in your home that is inauthentic. Clean out your closet of old clothes that do not align with you. You’re growing. You’ve shed some skin. Maybe it is not quite the time to shop or make any drastic commitments. Perhaps you are still feeling into who it is you are now. That is okay. During the Leo Sun, we will have a clearer understanding of that sense of self expression. For now, we are simply clearing out what we know is no longer our present and authentic self. I find the start of this year to be all about taking out the trash, clearing out the old space and allowing all that does not serve or align with us to fall off. We will be riding the wave of death and rebirth all lunar year long. What mask fell in Aries Season/Lunar Cycle? What else needs to fall off the neck? (It may be powerful to note each and every body part associated with each Zodiac as we take a gradual shedding of ourselves. Each body part is associated with a chakra as well. Which will only add layers to which themes will be prevalent on the grande scales we are attempting to focus and balance. Do not be overwhelmed by how many vast areas of the self there are. Focus on what presents itself. Prioritize.) What jewelry of bravado do you embrace to hide from the world or present a certain illusion? Do you have an obnoxious gold chain in order for people to perceive you to be luxurious? Is that chain genuine with sentimental meaning? Or are you mirroring an insecure sense of self with the idea an influencer gave you to feel empowered and luxurious? Now is a great time to assess what actually makes you feel empowered, authentic, genuine and comfortable. Leo is a flashy sign and Taurus is quite bougie. However, here we want to bridge that with a sense of comfort. How can you feel comfortable in your true skin and this newly rebirth-ed skin?

At this First Quarter there may be more questions than answers. It may feel more reflective than taking action. However, these insights will assist you in the knowing of what actions to take. All of this is leading up to the Full Moon essence of the Summer Solstice, an orgasmic release of death of the old and embodiment of the new. The wholeness that comes from Yin and Yang integration. It is okay to simply note what is bravado at this First Quarter. Utilize a body chart, printed from an online source, and identify what is the authentic self and what is part of the self that needs to shed. As we move through this Lunar Cycle, we will find not only are our heads out of the womb, but now so are our shoulders, chest, stomach, all the way down to the genitals/rectum of our root charka by the Full Moon. It will be important to understand how every Lunar Cycle through this Lunar Year will be a version of shedding a layer or a death and rebirth all in itself. Highlight what areas feel most vulnerable, as they will be spotlighted at this Full Moon. Clear out as much as you can now. Or simply take note or pile it off to the side. If you feel called, do a burning ritual. This can be a burning of the inauthentic elements of yourself, the vulnerable and fearful parts of yourself that act out of protection or a burning of written out insights that need to release. Perhaps you are not quite ready to step into the fire. Perhaps you simply build the fire. Ready to embrace it. Here you can engage in a fire gazing ritual. Meditate upon the flames. Allow them to dance within your heart and show you what needs to be done, what needs to release and what fuels the eternal flame of your soul. Clearing out all the junk will only beautify the space you are ready to harvest.

Full Moon Scorpio Ritual:  “Karmic Shedding”  May 12th, 2025

For this Full Moon Ritual, I envision Daenerys stepping into the fire with her Dragon Eggs. The moment where she embraces her destiny as the Mother of Dragons. As she rebirths the spirits of the beasts who were once believed to be lost, to be extinct. This may feel a bit similar to the chaotic energy of the previous Lunar Year, the year of the Dragon. However, last year, we allowed all that was necessary to fall, to burn and to battle at war. Here we find ourselves starting again, with new life. Releasing the necessary struggles and pain of war. Moving forward into an age of peace, love, beauty and harmony. How can you release another layer of skin? How can you be willing to stand firm in your vulnerability? Here I believe we are embracing a sense of gnosis that dates back to the wisdom of Genesis. The Serpent revealed to us the wisdom of Good and Evil. From there, Adam and Eve felt shame. Covering their genitals and demonizing their nakedness, their raw sense of nature. Now we can transmute, evolve and embrace the acceptance of such nature. Of meeting such truths with love. How can we embrace the nakedness of our beings? Of our souls?

With this ritual, I would suggest a sex rite with a trusted partner or self stimulation in a secure environment. As I suggest doing so outside, in nature, under the stars, please do not do anything inappropriate or indecently illegal. There is a respect to expressing such nakedness and vulnerability without being an insufferable and justified pervert. Do not indecently expose yourself or lose sight of the consent within such a ritual. This may take strategic planning and ultimately, if it is in the privacy of your own yard, the neighbors should learn a lesson of not being so nosy. Either way, follow such a calling with dignity, respect and balance for the culture of our society. We do not engage in traditional orgies at full moons anymore and there is a necessity to such protection. Plan accordingly.

If a sex rite is not in your interest, or availability, a ritual bath would be significant as well. Please feel free to incorporate both if desired. With the ritual bath, I suggest, with washable marker or a non staining medium, write all of your inauthenticities on your skin. These are the things you wish to shed. The accepting of your own nature. Embracing the ugliness of it all. The shame, the guilt, the hate and all of the above. Write it all over your body or have a partner assist you. Ensure there is consent with what is written. It can be helpful for those in a relationship to write releasing thoughts on their partner. However, this is not to be done so emotionally abusively, but therapeutically. Ensure both partners consent and/or are in a headspace to embrace such truths and releases. From there, beautify the bath. Add oils, salts, bubbles, candles and all of the above. Ensure the bath is loving, healing and/or romantic. Whether you are by yourself or not. If you are with a partner, you and your partner will take turns washing yourselves and one another. The emphasis is on clearing off all the inauthentic and/or old expressions of self. These can be expressions identified during the Leo First Quarter. Washing yourself is showing self love. Washing your partner is showing love for them. Show up supportively for yourself and one another. This is not to be rushed. Enjoy the bath. Do not get to scrubbing right away. Perhaps talk intimately or meditate with one another. My only suggestion, would be to wait for any sexual interactions for after the cleansing. However, follow your intuition. Making love to the old parts of you can be healing. Making love to the newly shedded self, will be transformative. If you have the stamina to do both? Enjoy!

Last Quarter Aquarius Ritual:  “Authentic Debut” May 20th, 2025

For this Last Quarter Ritual, I would connect the Aquarius energy to the physical connection of Taurus. If Taurus is connected to the throat/neck, vocal cords and shoulders, we may find ourselves with throat chakra work. We can conclude this Lunar Cycle with affirmations or “I” statements. If Aries is “I am,” Taurus is “I Have.” However, any “I” statements are appreciated at this time. Give yourself the “I” statements you need. I would suggest writing them down and reading them to yourself in the mirror. Or perhaps you and a partner read them to one another. You can add in “You” statements for your partner with a loving and harmonious intention. Perhaps give one another a shoulder massage as you are speaking release any physical storage of stress. All the statements created should with the intention of embodiment of who it is you are. This is no longer who you wish you were or who you want(ed) to be. This is you now. Show yourself that this is you. Show the world your hard work by having a cleared out garden ready to be filled with new life and growth.

If you feel called, share these statements in a journal for others or your social media page through a video. Aquarius loves building community and innovating towards a utopian society. How can you apply what you have done for yourself and share it with others? How can you pass on the torch of love and harmony?
