Venus is our morning and evening star. On June 8th Venus eclipsed the sun for the first time since 1874, 121 years ago. Such a rare eclipse! Venus will eclipse the sun again in eight years, and then not again until the year 2125. During the next eight years astrologists believe that Venus energy will be very strong.

Venus has long been associated with Goddess energy, love of the Earth, romantic love, and sexuality. Aphrodite is a synonym for Venus and means “water born,” or “foam born.” What better place to connect with Venus, and meditate on her gifts, than in the bath? Here are simple directions for this very healing bath:

Give yourself time to spend 15 to 20 minutes soaking in the bath. Fill the tub with water that is the perfect temperature for you.

Once you are settled in the tub, thank the water for its presence.

Pray for peace and love to prevail on Earth.

Pray for all the blockages to peace and love in your body to be cleansed.

Repeat either of these prayers as much as you want.

When you are ready to get out of the tub, thank the water. Thank Venus.
