It is Valentine's Day, which means love is in the air, at least culturally. Venus, the planet of love, is currently swimming in the sign of Pisces, making today perfect for workings related to the deeper aspects of connection. For those who have special someones, this working will bring you closer together than ever before and is the perfect start to a romantic evening. In a bath, add the following:

• The petals of 2 red roses
• 5 whole star anise
• 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 3 drops myrrh essential oil

Take a bath in the mixture with your partner (or take turns standing and bathing each other) after reciting the following incantation:

Heart to heart, a lover true; I open pathways for us to move through.
Closer and closer we will become, until our parts are smaller than our sum.

Set the scene with candles charged with the energies of love.
