🔮 “Grounding & Clarity” Ritual

🌙 Here's a gentle yet powerful ritual to help navigate the astrological energy of July 2025—which includes a Capricorn Full Moon, Leo New Moon, and retrogrades like Uranus in Gemini. This ritual is designed to ground you in truth, release pressure, and activate personal power:

Best Time: Around the Full Moon in Capricorn (for release) or the New Moon in Leo (for intention-setting)
You’ll Need:

• A white candle (for clarity)

• A small bowl of water (for reflection and emotional balance)

• A crystal like Smoky Quartz or Carnelian

• Paper + pen

• A quiet space to sit or lie down

• Optional: herbs like rosemary, mugwort, or thyme for smoke cleansing

🌕 Step 1: Cleanse & Prepare

Gently cleanse your space using smoke, sound, or intention. As you do, say aloud:

“I release the weight I’ve carried. This space is now sacred. I am safe to hear my truth.”

🔥 Step 2: Ground & Center

Light the candle and hold your chosen crystal in your palm. Take 3 deep breaths. Feel your feet or body connected to the earth.

Then say:

“I root into the wisdom of this moment. I release the need to rush, to prove, or to control. I am exactly where I need to be.”

🖋️ Step 3: Journal Prompts

Write your answers to these:

• Where in my life am I feeling pressured to perform or over-deliver?

• What truth have I been ignoring or avoiding?

• What part of me is ready to shine, even if I feel afraid?

🌑 Step 4: Water Reflection

Gaze into the bowl of water and whisper:

“I am a mirror of light and shadow. I see myself clearly now.”

Let anything emotional arise. Place your hands over the bowl and visualize releasing doubt, overthinking, or fear into the water.

(Optional: pour the water outside after the ritual as a symbolic release.)

🌟 Step 5: Affirm & Radiate

Hold the crystal to your heart and say:

“I move forward with clarity, courage, and confidence. I honor my timing, trust my path, and let my soul lead.”

Blow out the candle as a seal of completion.
