May the suggestions below guide your ritual..

Find a Water Source:
Choose a location near a natural water source, such as a river, lake, ocean, or even a small pond. If access to a natural water body is not possible, you can create a water altar indoors with a bowl of water.

Cleansing Ritual:
Begin the ritual by cleansing yourself and your sacred space. Take a ritual bath with Epsom salts or essential oils to purify your body and mind. If you're near a water source, dip your hands into the water and splash it on your face, feeling the cleansing effect of the water.

Emotional Release:
Take a moment to connect with your emotions. Allow yourself to feel any feelings that arise, whether they are joy, sorrow, or anything in between. Embrace the transformative power of water as it symbolizes the flow of emotions and the release of any emotional burdens.

Setting Intentions:
Write down your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. These should be related to the hearts desires, nurturing of self and others, dreams and emotional renewal. Be specific about the love and softness you want to bring into your life.

Water Blessing:
Collect a small vial of water from the natural source or your water altar. Hold the vial in your hands and infuse it with your intentions. You can use this blessed water later as a symbolic elixir to drink or sprinkle on plants.

Divination or Tarot Reading:
Use divination tools, such as tarot cards or oracle cards, to gain further insights into your emotional and intuitive aspects. Draw cards that resonate with your current feelings and intentions.

Water Meditation:
Close your eyes and meditate on the water's flow and fluidity. Visualize yourself being carried by the water's current, moving with ease and surrendering to the natural flow of life – releasing any emotional attachments or past experiences that no longer serve your growth, surrender them to the water's gentle embrace, knowing that you are creating space for new beginnings.

Gratitude and Closing:
Place your hands over your heart, reconnecting with the physical body while acknowledging the water element with gratitude for the depth of this emotional experience. Thank the water for is cleansing and nurturing energy, and yourself for allowing this healing to take place.
