New Moon in Leo Ritual with Your Fixed "Viva Venus" Candle
**Preparation:**
1. **Set the Space:** Choose a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse the area with sage, palo santo, or your preferred method.
2. **Gather Supplies:**
- Your fixed " Viva Venus" candle
- A small bowl of water
- A piece of paper and a pen
- A lighter or matches
- Crystals (optional, such as rose quartz or citrine)
- Fresh flowers (optional, to honor Venus)
- A small mirror (optional, to reflect Leo’s energy)
**Ritual Steps:**
1. **Ground Yourself:**
- Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Visualize roots extending from your body into the earth, grounding you.
2. **Set Your Intentions:**
- On the piece of paper, write down your intentions for this new moon. Focus on areas Leo influences, such as confidence, creativity, and self-expression. Also, invoke Venus' energies of love, beauty, and attraction.
3. **Light the Candle:**
- Light your fixed "Viva Venus" candle. As the flame grows, imagine it illuminating your heart and filling you with the energies of Leo and Venus.
4. **Meditate:**
- Spend a few minutes in meditation. Visualize yourself embodying the qualities of Leo—confident, radiant, and bold. Feel Venus' loving energy surrounding you.
5. **Water Ritual:**
- Hold the bowl of water and speak your intentions into it, visualizing them manifesting. Dip your fingers into the water and sprinkle a few drops around your sacred space, symbolizing the spread of your intentions.
6. **Affirmations:**
- Looking into the small mirror, if you have one, recite affirmations that resonate with Leo and Venus energy. Examples:
- “I am confident and radiant.”
- “I attract love and beauty into my life.”
- “I express my creativity with passion.”
7. **Release:**
- Fold the paper with your intentions and place it under the candle. Let the candle burn for as long as you are safely able to, allowing its energy to infuse your intentions. Extinguish the candle when you're ready, knowing your intentions have been set in motion.
8. **Close the Ritual:**
- Thank the energies of Leo and Venus for their presence and guidance. Dispose of the water in a respectful manner, such as pouring it into a plant.
9. **Reflection:**
- Spend a few moments reflecting on the ritual and how you feel. You might want to journal your experiences and any insights you gained.
**Post-Ritual:**
- Keep the paper with your intentions in a safe place until the next full moon, where you can revisit and release them if they have manifested.
By performing this ritual, you harness the potent energies of the new moon in Leo and the loving influence of Venus to bring confidence, love, and creativity into your life.
Happy Manifesting!
