Why work with Venus for love & money?
Venus is the goddess (and planet) of sensuality, pleasure, beauty and money. In Greek mythology, she is known as Aphrodite.
Her bottomline is softening our resistance to enjoying life. She basically wants you to have everything you desire and that makes you feel good.
Working with Venus as a divine guide is perfect if you are seeking:
- Access to your abundance mindset
- Sexual healing
- Deep self-love
- Connection to your sacred feminine energy.
Shifting your energy to a life lived in Venus Mode will mean you vibrate that love-goddess energy, become more perceptive of the world’s everyday beauties, allow yourself to enjoy what you currently have and open up to receive more deliciousness.
If you’ve never before associated money with pleasure, Venus will tell you that’s the big secret: living a delightful, enjoyable life and becoming more open to pleasure actually rewrites your limiting money stories and transforms them into “wow life is so amazing…wait, I can receive anything I want?!”
She just wants you to be well-fucked and well-paid.
She’s my kind of girl.
Money is a reflection of our self-worth and how much we allow ourselves to receive pleasure, passion and enjoyment. So cultivating that energy will make you magnetic to opportunities in your life — not just money, but love too.
Isn’t it beautiful that ‘money work’ can be beautiful and fun, rather than heavy?
You’ll notice that none of the Venus Rituals are specifically related to money, but money is a much-welcomed byproduct of these pleasure rituals.
I know you’re thirsty for joy and wealth, so let’s explore rituals for working with Venus.
If you want to add an extra personalised flavour to your Venus Rituals, start by discovering what your Venus Zodiac Sign is in your birth chart!
1. Create a Venus Altar
Choose a space in your bedroom or anywhere that feels pleasurable for you — it could be your dressing table, bedside table or even space on the floor.
Collect some of Venus’s favourite items:
- Green or white cloth or scarf (especially silk)
- Green or white candles
- Small or large mirror
- Emerald, green jade or rose quartz crystals
- Pearls or gold jewellery
- Perfume, floral essential oils or incense
- Fresh roses or flowers
- Milk, honey, chocolate or red wine
- Planetary symbols or images of Venus
(You don’t need all of these; start small with what you have at home, and add as you stumble across beautiful additions that Venus places in your path)
How to use your Venus Altar:
- Morning meditation space
- Ritual and spellwork space
- Daily beauty routine space (dedicate your lipstick or perfume to her!)
- Self-pleasure space
So you can choose to work with the energy of Venus in your daily routines or perform more in-depth rituals, or both. Those rituals you’ll find below.
2. Venus Meditation and Devotion
This meditation can be a daily practice or as part of a larger ritual, especially on Full Moons.
- It can be fun to treat getting ready for a Venus Ritual like you’re going on a date. She’ll appreciate the effort you put in and it helps you embody the energy you’re hoping for more of in your life. So whatever you need to feel put together and feminine — bathing first, a silk robe, matching lingerie set, lip gloss and rosy cheeks, or your finest jewelry.
- Light the candle or incense on your Venus Altar. Maybe put on some pleasurable music or heart chakra frequency music. Draw her symbols with your finger on your body or in your journal to call her present.
- Present any fresh offerings to your altar (flowers, a glass of wine).
- Ground yourself with deep breaths or some self-touch. As you sit in meditation, visualise her image and channel her energy into your body.
- Either out loud or in your mind, ask Venus for guidance or assistance in embodying her energy in your life. Listen to the messages that come through.
- After your meditation, thank her for the blessings of beauty and pleasure she has already brought to your life and those she will bring in the future.
3. Venus Breast Massage
Breast massages are traditional Ayurvedic practices and used in Tantric traditions. They are not only beneficial for your health (stimulate lymphatic drainage, reduce stretch marks, decrease stress) but also feel incredibly nurturing and can also be pleasurable (especially exploring breast orgasms – Venus would love that for you).
You can do this every evening after you take your bra off, or before a self-care shower or bath.
- In front of your Venus Altar, prepare your space by lighting a candle or choosing a delicious playlist.
- Using an organic oil such as coconut or jojoba, start by cupping your breasts and exploring different motions — rhythmic pumping, gentle fingertip circles, harder pressure. You can do both breasts together or one at a time.
- Doing this in front of a mirror is a beautiful experience to cherish and pour love on your body. Envision the energy of Venus flowing through you as she also worships your beauty and pleasure.
4. Venus Ritual Bath
This bath will be infused with the intention to embody the qualities of Venus and call in opportunities for money and love into your life. Try it before bed or as part of a weekly/monthly ritual.
Tools: jar of water | green or pink crystals | epsom salts, jasmine/rose essential oils or rose petals | herbal tea or cacao
- Run your bath, add your salts, oils or petals. Maybe light a candle or play some soothing music. Make your warm drink.
- Before you step in, hold your crystals and call Venus present, feeling her energy radiating through you as a warm, juicy light.
- Place your crystals in the water with you. As you soak, envision your life lived in Venus Mode. Use the warmth and pleasure of your bath experience to bring up a deep sense of gratitude and joy within you.
- When you are finished, visualise any resistance to pleasure, rest and slowness flowing down the drain with the water and remain in the bath until it is all gone. Thank Venus, journal about any messages you received and place your crystals on your altar or bedside as a divine reminder.
5. Venus Sensual Dance
Dedicating a solo dance session in your bedroom to pleasure and joy will help you open up to receiving and soften like a rose. You are dancing equally for Venus and for your own delight in the beauty of life.
You can create this dance experience after a meditation, bath or self-massage.
- Set the scene with candles, essential oils or incense. Wear whatever makes you feel pleasurable – lingerie, silk dress, robe or nothing at all. Choose a playlist that is juicy, sensual or simply gentle.
- Begin either standing or lying down. Close your eyes and begin to feel the music seep into your body. Start with small movements, like in your hands, hips or shoulders.
- Use the experience as an exploration of your body and sensuality. Be guided by what feels good, not what looks good. Incorporate self-touch and vocalising to your dance. Focus on loosening up your hips and pelvis area. Watching yourself in the mirror can add to the power of the experience.
- Whenever you find yourself judging yourself or overthinking, close your eyes again and bring your attention back to your body and the smallest of movements.
Bonus: Extra-Special Venus Times
Timing your self-care and rituals in accord with the days and hours ruled by Venus will uplevel your experiences:
- Fridays
- Monday nights after sunset
- The planetary hours of Venus
- The Moon is in Taurus or Libra
How I Work With Venus
- During my morning meditation, I call in Venus to receive guidance and embody her energy for my day ahead.
- I get ready in the morning by my Venus Altar, making it a pleasurable, slow experience. I have devoted my homemade essential oil perfume to her!
- In the evenings, I activate her energy by playing soft music and undressing slowly in the mirror, sometimes incorporating a breast massage or sensual dance.
- On Fridays, I dress extra sensually (my favourite lingerie), enhance my Weekly Money Ritual with pleasurable candles and music and finish work early for a Self-Care Evening — dry body brushing, self-massage with jojoba oil and rose essential oil, a coconut oil hair mask, shaving my legs and bathing.
- On New Moons and Full Moons in the signs of Taurus or Libra, I have an extended Self-Care and bath ritual, and perform spellwork to do with pleasure, romance, beauty and money.
Remember that the superpower of Venus, attracting more delicious things, comes from appreciating and lingering in pleasurable moments — not by planning, striving or wishing for those things. Pleasure and presence are your manifesting tools.
Keep in mind when engaging in your Venus Rituals that they don’t have to be perfect. They just have to feel good.
