A New Moon Bath Ritual Based on your Zodiac Sign
Craving a nurturing New Moon ritual but not sure what to do? We’ve got you covered. La Luna rules all things water so what better way to celebrate her new cycle than by taking a delicious bath? This not only symbolizes cleansing, but also a new beginning.
New Moons are also, usually, a time when we tend to draw back and go inward, a time when we need a little more time out. Many of us may feel a touch more introverted during a New Moon, making it the ideal time to soak in water and rest.
We can make a New Moon bath even better if we use scents, herbs and flowers most aligned to our zodiac sign, helping the New Moon energy to be stronger and more intentional. Plus, it’s always fun – not to mention grounding – to get creative. Creativity is often a wonderful thing we can get busy with when we don’t feel like being with people, which is often the case during New Moon. Full Moons are the time to enjoy socializing and being out in the world.
Meditation rituals are also another lovely way to get in touch with the New Moon energy, and what better place than to do them in the bath when we’re already relaxing? Or, you may want to drink a delicious, intentional drink that nourishes you from the inside out. Or, perhaps you want to make a candle with your favorite scent. The options are endless, and can be overwhelming. We know that, so we’ve prepared a bespoke list of ideas for each and every zodiac sign, based on your personal preferences for you to savor and enjoy!
Aries New Moon Bath Ritual
Aries, you’re a bit of a pyromaniac. AKA, you love fire. Your New Moon ritual needs to involve candles – plenty of them. Get as many as you can, preferably red ones, and place them all over your bathroom. Make things as hot as possible. Create a sweat lodge of sorts for yourself. You need a bit of a challenge to make sure you don’t get bored or impatient with your bath. Once you have plenty of steam and flames, relax back into the boiling hot water and close your eyes. If you have a few drops of cinnamon oil, use that – it’s your special spice and will serve to warm up your blood.
If you want to get extra-witchy, imagine each candle you light as an intention – something you’d like to manifest. Let it burn all the way down before getting out of the bath.
Taurus New Moon Bath Ritual
You were made for this, Taurus! There are endless options for your New Moon Bath ritual, but we can only pick one. For you, what would be most fun and beneficial would have to be creating a bath bomb of some kind. You’ll need:
- A Cup of baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
- A Tablespoon of essential oil (we recommend Rose Oil for you)
- A half tablespoon of citric acid
- Some water in a spray bottle
- a mold (ice trays could work, but it has to be big!)
Mix everything into 1 large bowl and spray by spray, add water with your spray bottle until you have a satisfying clump. Then, press the mixture into your mold and let it dry. Voila! Drop in your bath and enjoy the soak.
Gemini New Moon Bath Ritual
Gemini, your New Moon bath ritual is easy-peasy. Being an air sign, you love ideas, thinking and knowledge. Your New Moon Bath ritual needs to involve an excellent Podcast you’ve been dying to listen to. One that inspires you to make your own new beginning, in whichever area is best for you.
So, get your headphones ready (make sure they’re waterproof), find your podcast(s), run that bath, light some candles and relax. Don’t forget to bring your journal if you want to make some notes.
Cancer New Moon Bath Ritual
Cancer, you’re a true waterbaby. There’s nothing you love more than a good soak. Even just lying in the bath feels cleansing and good for you. Yet, if you want to make this an even better and more intentional experience, then go ahead and have a ritual. The one we would recommend for you is to listen to a story of some kind. An inspirational story, one that’s preferably fictional and has something to do with family, home mothering and/or children. This will take you down a beautiful walk on memory lane, helping you to tap into your own inner child’s needs and desires. perhaps even help you to set a few new intentions to nourish yourself going forward. Let the tears come, Cancer. This is as cleansing for you as a bath.
Leo New Moon Bath Ritual
Your New Moon bath ritual, Leo needs to involve mirrors, and plenty of them. Go on and grab yourself any mirrors you can find in your home and place them around the bath. Get a few candles too – preferably luxurious, scented candles so that you can be cast in your most flattering light. Do your hair up beautifully (remember, this is your lion’s mane!), and pour yourself a glass of bubbly or your favorite luxury drink. Buy yourself the most expensive bubble bath that you can find and settle yourself in nice and deeply. When you catch a glimpse of yourself, remind yourself of how beautiful, talented and worthy you are.
