Libra is the astrological sign ruled by Venus, which is the planet associated with love and beauty. It’s the perfect season on the zodiac calendar to celebrate all things pleasure. This means playing dress up any chance you get, treating yourself to luxury and being unapologetic about every selfie you take. If you’re ready to upgrade your sense of confidence and prioritize pretty, here are some beauty rituals to celebrate the season.
Makeup Cleaning Haul
Take some time to be intentional about cleaning all of your beauty tools. You can add in some magic by speaking words of gratitude over each tool that’s helped transform you into your most glamorous. While you’re at it, declutter your space. Get rid of any expired makeup or the ones you don’t use. It will clear the space for new products.
Aphrodite Beauty Ritual
Aphrodite is the Goddess of Beauty and Pleasure in Greek mythology. It’s only right to incorporate her into your Libra season ritual. While there are many Aphrodite rituals, a simple yet powerful one to follow involves four key materials: pink candles, rose quartz, rosewater or essential oil, and a mirror.
The steps are simple. First, curate a sacred space. This space should be where you’ll feel comfortable and be undisturbed. Light the pink candle to welcome love’s warmth and light. The next step is solely about purification. Sprinkle rose water or dab essential oil on your wrists and neck. This will cleanse yourself of any negativity and prepare your spirit to receive love. After the space is purified, hold the rose quartz in your hand and gaze into the mirror. Look beyond your physical form and search for your inner beauty and light. Speak affirmations of love and acceptance to yourself. When you feel lighter and charged with love, thank Aphrodite for her presence and guidance. Blow out the candle, knowing that the flame of self-love continues to burn brightly within you.
Self Love Bath
Nothing says I value beauty and pleasure more than a romantic self love bath. Surround your tub with candles and crystals while sprinkling the water with rose petals, epsom salt or your choice of bath bomb. You can even upgrade the vibes with sweet-smelling essential oils like ylang-ylang or jasmine flower. Play some of your favorite tunes or sound bowls while you exfoliate your body and relax into the deliciousness of your own company.
Beauty Affirmations
Whether you write them down or say them out loud, affirmations are a powerful way to rewire your brain. Use Libra season as an opportunity to plant seeds of radiance and confidence. Nothing can make a woman glow like self love, so it’s important to incorporate affirmations. There’s nothing wrong with adding in some affirmations about your physical beauty.
Take Yourself on a Date
Take the opportunity to invest in some time with you. Buy yourself flowers and a sweet treat, and plan a romantic day with yourself. Pack your favorite book or journal and indulge in some quiet time with the number one person in your life.
Make Your Own Beauty Potions
Making your own lotions and body oils can make you feel more connected to your body when you’re fully aware of the ingredients going in your beauty products. There are tons of recipes for delicious homemade scrubs and lotion. You can tweak the recipes to your liking, making them sweeter, more floral or less fragrant.
