The Venus Glow Ritual: A Full Moon Cleansing & Balancing Ceremony
Theme: Balance, Beauty, and Empowered Love Lunation: Full Moon in Libra | Opposing the Sun in Aries Date: April 13–14, 2025 (exact Full Moon on April 13)
✨ Overview
Under the radiant Full Moon in Libra, we are invited to release the imbalances that keep us from living harmoniously—both within ourselves and in our relationships. With the Libra-Aries axis activated, we explore the sacred tension between giving and receiving, partnership and individuality, peace and power.
This ritual restores equilibrium by working with the balancing forces of Venus (Libra) and Mars (Aries) through self-reflection, intentional release, and sensual self-love.
🌿 What You’ll Need
Venus Glow Elixir (see below for the recipe or use a rose-based mist)
A mirror (for self-reflection)
1 white candle (balance and clarity)
1 red candle (passion and self-empowerment)
A bowl of water (symbolizing flow and emotional release)
A small offering (flowers, honey, incense, or fruit for Venus & Mars)
Journal and pen
✯ Step 1: Preparation & Sacred Space
Cleanse your space with smoke, bells, or your preferred method.
Set your altar with the red and white candles on either side of the bowl of water.
Place your offering nearby.
Hold your Venus Glow Elixir in both hands, infusing it with your desire for balanced love, empowered self-worth, and energetic harmony.
When ready, light both candles and say: "I call upon the sacred balance of Venus and Mars, within and without. May beauty meet bravery, and peace walk with purpose."
(Remember the words are more powerful if they are your own.)
🔺 Step 2: Calling in the Energies
Face each direction and invoke energies that guide you toward wholeness and harmony:
South – Fire (Passion): "Ignite my courage and burn away patterns of fear or self-doubt."
East – Air (Clarity): "Clear my mind and open my heart to new perspectives."
North – Earth (Stability): "Ground me in self-worth and guide me to act with integrity."
West – Water (Emotion): "Help me release resentment, sorrow, or imbalance with grace."
Above – Illumination (Awareness): "Shine light on my patterns with compassion."
Below – Integration (Power): "Help me embody balance, strength, and grace in motion."
🪞 Step 3: Mirror Reflection & Release
Sit comfortably and gaze into the mirror. Ask yourself:
Where do I give too much? Where do I withhold?
What patterns in relationships keep me from balance?
Am I open to receiving love and pleasure—or do I guard myself?
Journal the imbalances you uncover. Name the habits, wounds, or limiting beliefs you're ready to release. Be brave and honest.
Hold your Venus Glow Elixir while doing this. Let it absorb the essence of your transformation.
💧 Step 4: Water Offering & Venus Glow Anointing
Read your written releases aloud, then place or pour them into the bowl of water. Say: "I release what no longer serves my love, peace, or power. I return these patterns to the flow."
Spritz yourself gently with the Venus Glow Elixir, especially over your heart and face. Say aloud: "I anoint myself in beauty, balance, and belonging. I am ready to love and live in harmony."
🕊️ Step 5: Closing & Forward Movement
Offer thanks to the elements and the sacred forces of Venus and Mars. Feel their energies as allies, not opposites.
Dispose of the water outdoors with reverence—offer it to the earth or running water.
Let the candles burn safely or snuff them out with gratitude.
Keep your mirror and elixir near for the next few days to maintain alignment.
