Aquarius Season is Here to Remind You to Embrace Your Authentic Self ♒️
Here’s a ritual to try🏺
Card from my Cosmic Magic Oracle deck
Happy Sunday, friends! I hope you’re having a good day so far! It’s officially Aquarius season, one of my favorite astrological seasons of the year. And with everything going on in the world at the moment the themes that go along with Aquarius season (things like hope, authenticity, letting our voices be heard, embracing community) feel like a ray of light (for me, anyway).
But for this Substack, I wanted to focus specifically on the magic that happens when we embrace our authentic selves. When we realize that the only approval that we need is our own. And when we remind ourselves that that we are already enough just as we are.
From Cosmic Magic Oracle:
We are all made of the same stardust, but we each have our own unique magic. Each have our own way of thinking, expressing, connecting, and growing. Things that only you can do, and nobody else. Truth is, all the things that make us unique are part of what makes us so beautiful.
I have found in my life a great deal of peace from embracing my authentic self and the things that make me unique. So I wanted to share a ritual for Aquarius season about embracing our authenticity.
Aquarius Season Ritual
* Ritual from Cosmic Care
Tools: Piece of paper, pen or pencil, and something to safely burn the paper with
Find a quiet location where you can be alone and free of any distractions. Begin by taking a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. With each breath, relax your body and release any tension or stress.
If your eyes aren’t already closed, feel free to close them now. Think about how you might be rejecting or concealing your authentic self.
What fears, worries, or insecurities are preventing you from expressing yourself authentically?
Now, as you’re thinking about this, do so without any judgment. Show yourself love and compassion for whatever you might feel.
Open your eyes and grab your piece of paper and pen or pencil and write down these things that might be holding you back from expressing yourself authentically.
As you do this action, feel what feelings, thoughts, or attachments you have regarding these things, again without any judgment.
Next, you are going to burn the paper watch as the smoke sweeps the things that are holding you back away (please do so safely.)
After you watch the smoke burn the paper away close your eyes and repeat the affirmations: “I am proud of who I am,” “I am embracing my authentic self,” and “I embrace my individuality and uniqueness.”
Open your eyes gradually, returning to the current moment, and take a little time to ground and center yourself with a few deep breaths before returning to your day.
Sending you so much love and good energy today and always!🖤
