Celestial Cup of Goals

Astrological Timing: Midnight – Sunrise, Monday, Cancer Moon, Full Moon and New Moon
Celestial Correspondences: Cancer, Moon, Ceres
Energies: Spiritual Alignment, Aspiration, Contentment

Bring balance into your life and manifest spiritual goals with this special spell. Like the symbol of the overflowing cup of blessings, a cup is a symbol of a container – a metaphor for what you choose to hold in your life. Whatever you wish to bring into your life will take the shape of the container you assign to it (like a liquid). During cancer season, it is time to assess whether your current goals and activities are still in alignment with your path. In this spell, you will reflect on the power of cardinal water and create a cup altar filled with symbols of goals that will nurture and fill you with contentment. The amounts you use may vary depending on the size of the glass you choose.

You will need:
Special glass
1/2 cup sea salt (for grounding and connecting to the power of water) or sugar (for sweetening and drawing)
2-3 drops jasmine essential oil
Natural quartz point
Dried rose petals or buds
Dried Lavender
Dried Jasmine
Dried Chamomile

Directions:

1. Think of what kind of goals you would like to have that are in alignment with your spiritual self and needs. What kinds of activities and people feed your spirit and nurture your soul so that you feel restored?
2. Place a layer of sea salt or sugar, in your cup. Since it is of the sea and also of the earth, the salt will act as the grounding foundation for the spell and represent the physical principle of life. If you choose sugar, the sweetness of this ingredient will draw your goals to you with peace and ease – or, feel free to do both!
3. Mix in a few drops of Jasmine oil for fragrance so that you can enjoy its aroma each time you walk by. This scent can remind you of your personal goals.
4. Use the quartz point to stir the salt clockwise, saying aloud. “Under the power of moonlight, I bring spiritual balance into my life.”
5. Visualize what this balance might look like for you, then nestle the quartz, point up, in the center of the cup, representing the initiating aspect of water.
6. Think of what goal each flower can represent, then place them one by one with intention in the cup, as a symbol of allowing that goal into the “container” of your life. Hover your hands above the finished scene, visualizing the cup overflowing with abundance in your chosen realms. Charge in the growing moonlight, ideally for the duration of the lunar month (if doing so at the new moon) or for two weeks until the next new moon.
