Venus in Wanderland: Aries Full Moon Embodiment Ritual to Awaken your Inner Feline

We are fully out of Mercury retrograde and moving swiftly into the core of Venus season, aka Libra season. By now you should be experiencing a deeper sense of clarity around how harmony and balance play a role in your relationships. The cloudy veil of confusion has fully lifted and now you get to move forward with newfound clarity.

The Aries Full Moon arrives on the 9th, illuminating the parts of our identities we have lost to others. An experience of understanding the role that sacred rage and courage play in our lives comes into full focus with this full moon.

Aries can be a hostile and volatile energy when untamed. If there is no direction or outlet for it to release, it bleeds all over its victims in selfish abandon. Thus, a healthy outlet for the rage suffered as a result of not giving enough to ourselves, of experiencing depletion due to over sacrificing our own needs for the sake of others, becomes the medicine the universe asks of us.

So what's the best way to release this lunar tension, repressed anger, and pent up physical energy?

Sex. Primal, raunchy, unadulterated, uninhibited sex.

With Libra, we are already in the season of invoking Venusian love and beauty. Thus, at center stage lies our desire to attract newfound states of love in partnerships with another. Because Aries, the warrior, carries primal, forceful, direction-driven energy, when the full moon of Aries comes around its way of expressing love can be equally aggressive.

Aries stops at nothing to achieve what it wants.

It also relates to this energy of love that is instinctive: we all want to love and be loved. This desire lies at our primal core.

So for what remains of the Libra season, allow the energy coursing through your body to be moved with sweaty and aggressive raw sex. Allow your inner animal to devour its desires. If you are riding solo and don't have a partner to get intimate with, then make your solo pleasure rituals carry this raw energy. Get loud and moany, your inner warrior will thank you.

Libra is connected to the kidneys and the endocrine system in our bodies. Aries rules over our physical experience as a whole, and more specifically the head, eyes, and muscles. As such, the suggested crystals to work with will focus on the balancing of the physical body as well as healing heart chakra, the center of our bodies that governs our relationships with one another and with the self.

Agate: Grounding stone that connects you with the gentle vibrations of the Earth, bringing emotional, physical and mental into balance. Stone associated with stamina, vitality and strength. Helps deal with negativity and bitterness especially in relation to love.

Wild Womban Breath Flow: This is a breathing/breathwork meditative practice that will support you in unleashing your wild and free Divine Feminine energy. So often we think about meditation as being a practice of stillness and silence. Rarely are embodied movement practices seen as meditative. This practice is meant to balance a more traditional Divine Masculine approach to meditation with a wild womb-centered expressive Divine Feminine one.

• Start in a table-top position with your hands and knees on the floor.
• Begin to breathe in through your nose and exhale out through the mouth. You want every exhale to be audible. You start off quieter, perhaps sighing with every exhale at first. Increase the intensity of the breath as you progress with this practice.
• You want this breath to be a belly breath. With every inhale your entire belly expands and with every exhale your belly contracts. The more exaggerated the movement with the inhales and the exhales, the better.
• Begin to incorporate movement with your breath. With every inhale, arch your back (keeping that expansion of your belly going) and with every exhale (which by now should be getting louder and louder) contract your spine into a curve.
• The movement looks very much like an exaggerated cat-cow yoga pose movement. You want to continue this movement, intensifying and exaggerating the spinal movement, the belly expansion/contraction, the inhale/exhale.
• Allow your exhales to get wild, loud, and primal. Feel free to moan, groan, shout, yell, scream. The more unleashed this expression, the better. Feel free to incorporate sticking your tongue out as you exhale.
• After about 10 minutes of this movement, begin to integrate your own flow. Whether you want to make spinal circles on all fours, or you want to stand up, lay down, etc., do so. The breath and belly contractions stay the same.
• This entire practice should be about 15-30 minutes. Go as long as you can!

Martial Arts Date: A great way to move all of the cosmic energy coming at us is to get physical. Go on a date with your partner, friend, or group of friends to a kickboxing gym, a Jiu-Jitsu class, karate dojo, boxing ring, etc. You want to invoke a warrior-spirit activity with this one. Doing so with people you love will bring harmony, ease, and fun into the experience, while still being afforded the opportunity to release steam and rage.

Primal Sex: This one is pretty self-explanatory! For all the reasons stated above, primal raw sex can be very healing in navigating these energies. The more trust and love there is at the foundation of the relationships with your sexual partner, the more unleashes you can be in this experience. If you are more on the timid side of things when in comes to sex, I invite you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, out of your head, and into the physical sensations. The Wild Womban embodiment practice is a great way to warm-up, do some solo foreplay, and get into your body for a sexual experience. If you don't have a sex partner, you can still experiment with these energies in your solo sessions and using your Yoni Wand will be a game changer for this practice.

*Vocalize!!! Scream, moan, growl, pant,
*Exhale through the mouth, making audible moaning sounds
*Bite and suck skin (with care to not break anything!)
*Doggy-style Hair pulling and choking (but only if you or your partner safely know how!)
*Embody your favorite feline or canine animal Wrestling as foreplay (or during play!) Get the juices flowing!
