A Spiritual Bath For the New Moon in Taurus
This New-Moon-in-Taurus Baño Will Help You Feel Luxurious and Sensual
Following two fiery Aries new moons and a watery full moon in Scorpio lunar eclipse, the new moon in Taurus swoops in to bring us back down to earth in the most beautiful way. Taureans love rich beauty in all things. Under this new moon, adorn yourself with all the things that make you feel exquisite and divine, whether it's your favourite perfume on your naked body or a go-to 'fit that flows effortlessly on your frame. The new moon in Taurus is a time like no other to crown yourself and celebrate the beauty you bring to this life.
Taurus is rich in nurturing, soil cradling, and caring for the roots that have grown from the seeds planted during the Aries season. This is where real growth and transformation begin to appear on Earth. Taurus is the flowers blooming for all to see after Aries sparked creation from deep within.
With Jupiter, the planet of expansion, entering Taurus on May 16 until May 25, the time for catapulting new beginnings is ripe and ready for the taking. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, ease into the new beginnings with love, devotion, and patience with yourself and others. Remember that new moons are all about inviting what you want to bring into your life. Since the moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning it feels most at home in this sign, it's a good time to set intentions and wishes without becoming overly emotional. The exalted moon helps to keep emotions balanced while Taurus celebrates the glamour and charm within us and all around us in the world.

Spiritual-Bath Recipe For May's New Moon in Taurus
Ingredients:
- Green candle
- Pink Himalayan salt
- Sage and palo santo
- Ylang ylang, jasmine, rose, or patchouli essential oils
- Violet, thyme, or mint herbs
- Lilies, daisies, or poppies
- Emerald, pyrite (great for manifesting money), jade, or lapis lazuli crystals
- Florida Water, or Agua de Florida
Recipe:
- Open up your windows, and let the air flow throughout your space. Light up some sage, and allow the smoke to waft through each room as you give thanks for the sacred smoke and life. If you'd like, you can follow that by burning some palo santo to seal in the energetic cleansing the sage provided.
- Next, light a green candle, and place a vase with your choice of flowers nearby (save some of the flowers for your bath). Place a crystal or two that resonates with you most under the Taurus new moon next to the flowers and candle. This will help you create a new-moon-in-Taurus altar, creating something physical to represent your spiritual ritual.
- You can place your altar in the bathroom where you'll soak in your spiritual bath, or you can place it somewhere where you'll sit and write your wishes, journal, meditate, and do anything else you need to ground.
- Now it's time to begin creating your baño. First, fill up your tub with warm water and add a cup or two of the pink Himalayan salt. Adding salt to a bath is a great way to ground yourself!
- Next, add a few good splashes of Florida Water and several drops of essential oils. Mix everything in with your hands as you pray, sing, give thanks, and speak your intentions.
- Grab a few handfuls of the herbs you've chosen to work with, and remember to thank them for their energy and blessings. Add them to the water, and mix in with your hands.
- With the flowers you set aside, cover the top of your bath either with the entire flower or just the petals. Continue singing and praying as you do so.
- Finally, indulge in your luxurious Taurus new moon bath by soaking for 20 to 40 minutes. As you do so, think about the things you want to manifest and imagine yourself having all those things already. Match the vision with the emotion, and watch the magic as it unfolds over the next six months until the full moon in Taurus on Oct. 28.
