The full moon is a cosmic spotlight—bright, magnetic, and overflowing with energy. It’s the perfect time to manifest goals, release what no longer serves you, and connect with your spiritual power. Whether you’re into astrology, manifestation, or just looking for a way to reset and recharge, these full moon rituals are designed to help you call in abundance, cleanse your energy, and align with your highest self.
I’m Mechila Blake, astrologer and intuitive tarot reader, and I’m sharing my 12 favorite full moon rituals—backed by tradition and intention—that you can do right at home.
🌕 1. Cleanse with a Full Moon Bath or Swim
Keywords: spiritual cleansing, moon water bath, energy reset
Water is one of the most sacred tools for energetic cleansing. Whether it’s a dip in the ocean, a moonlit swim, or a hot bath infused with salts and herbs, this ritual washes away energetic buildup and clears space for new intentions. If the moon is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), this ritual is even more potent. Visualize your worries dissolving as the water flows over you.
🌕 2. Make & Use Moon Water
Keywords: how to make moon water, full moon magic, energy charging
To make moon water, fill a glass jar with clean water and place it under the moonlight overnight. The next day, use it however you’re guided—drink it, water your plants, add it to a bath, or use it in rituals. The moon’s energy will infuse the water with the astrological energy of that night, enhancing your intentions and spiritual work.
🌕 3. Do a Full Moon Tarot Reading
Keywords: full moon tarot spread, spiritual guidance, moon clarity
The full moon reveals truths and guides decisions. Use tarot to check in with your energy and gain insight on your next steps. Ask questions like:
-
“What is this moon trying to reveal to me?”
-
“What do I need to release?”
-
“What energy should I invite in?”
Tarot under the full moon connects you to deeper wisdom and intuition.
🌕 4. Charge Crystals in Moonlight
Keywords: charging crystals full moon, crystal ritual, moon energy
Lay your crystals outside or on a windowsill where they can soak up moonlight overnight. Crystals like citrine (abundance), amethyst (clarity), and rose quartz (love) are popular choices. Bonus: align your crystal charging with the moon’s zodiac sign for amplified results (e.g., citrine under a Sagittarius moon = money & expansion).
🌕 5. Journal or Meditate Under the Moon
Keywords: moon journaling prompts, full moon meditation, self-reflection ritual
The full moon is a mirror. Reflect, release, and realign by journaling about your emotions, goals, and gratitude. You can also sit in stillness and meditate, visualizing the moon’s light surrounding you and recharging your energy field.
🌕 6. Write & Burn What You Want to Release
Keywords: full moon release ritual, letting go ceremony, moon magic
Write down limiting beliefs, toxic patterns, or painful memories you’re ready to release. Then safely burn the paper under the moonlight. This symbolic act signals to the universe that you’re letting go. For extra magic, write on a bay leaf—known for abundance and truth.
🌕 7. Light Intention Candles by Color
Keywords: candle magic, chakra healing, manifestation ritual
Candle colors carry powerful energy. Choose based on your intention:
-
Red = courage & passion
-
Green = love & money
-
Blue = peace & communication
-
Purple = intuition & spirituality
-
Yellow = confidence
Set your intention and let the flame carry it into the universe. Bonus tip: mix colors symbolically (e.g., red/white/blue for manifesting a trip to France).
🌕 8. Connect with Nature
Keywords: grounding ritual, moonlight walk, reconnect with Earth
Go outside. Walk barefoot on grass, sit under a tree, or have a moonlit picnic. Being in nature during the full moon recharges your body and spirit, reminding you that you’re part of something bigger.
🌕 9. Cook a Meal & Celebrate with Loved Ones
Keywords: moon feast, communal ritual, zodiac food ritual
The full moon is social and expressive. Make a themed meal aligned with the moon’s zodiac sign and share it with friends or family. Example: Virgo moon = healthy food; Libra = aesthetic dishes; Sagittarius = try global cuisine. Share stories, intentions, and laughter under the moon.
🌕 10. Dance & Make Music
Keywords: full moon celebration, movement ritual, spiritual expression
Feel the energy rising? Dance it out. Whether it’s a solo dance party or a drum circle with friends, music and movement release blocked energy and raise your vibration. It’s one of the most joyful full moon rituals—and it's free.
🌕 11. Burn Incense to Cleanse or Attract
Keywords: incense for manifestation, energy clearing, home cleansing
Choose incense based on what you want to attract:
