One Thing Each Zodiac Should Do During This Week’s Full Moon
While the New Moon brings forth intention setting, fresh beginnings, an energetic clean slate if you like, the Full Moon provides the perfect opportunity to release what is no longer serving us.
The Full Moon is the peak of the 28 day lunar cycle. We can expect the energy around us to feel intense, deep sleep becoming harder to reach, and emotions that have caused us to feel resistance, coming to the surface to be worked through.
Creating a Full Moon ritual can really help deepen your relationship, not only with yourself, but with your manifestations, shining a light on what may be causing a shadow over you receiving your desires.
Here is one essential practice to add to your Full Moon ritual moving forward, according to your Zodiac sign.
Aries
With Aries being a charming and charismatic leader (yes, that’s you, Aries!), it’s only natural you host a Full Moon circle.
Gather your closest friends, cushions spread on the floor, candles burning. Ask everyone to set an intention for the month ahead and ask the circle’s energy to support and amplify. Play a five minute meditation track to help ground everyone into the moment and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of their day.
It’s at this point that you may want to burn palo santo and gently cleanse the energy of the room, smoking around the auras of the friends in your circle.
Ask everyone to take their journal and write down what they no longer want to carry with them into the next lunar phase. It’s under this Full Moon energy that you’re able to release those habits, beliefs and stories holding you back. If the group feels comfortable, go around the circle and vocalize something you’ve written down.
Finally, energy work such as dancing or chanting is the perfect way to close off the circle, thanking the elements and the moon for allowing you this space and time together.
Taurus
Being a Taurus, you’re often drawn to music, which is why a Full Moon dance party is perfect for releasing stagnant energy as you move into the next lunar phase.
The idea that music can raise our vibrations is synonymous with manifestation and the laws of the Universe. It’s said that everything in the Universe, including our bodies and emotions, vibrates at a certain frequency.
When we listen to music, the vibrations of the sound waves interact with our bodies and can influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual states. I can vouch for Harry Styles doing just that!
Music can also help to create a sense of harmony and balance, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. It energizes and uplifts our mood, boosting our overall well-being.
Why not create your own Full Moon playlist, even just for a solo dance party in the kitchen? Choose songs that instantly increase your dopamine levels, especially ones from when you were younger! Let that inner child of yours out for a kitchen rave.
Gemini
Whilst Gemini’s are kind-hearted souls, you’re also known for holding a grudge or two. Don’t hate me forever for saying that! But writing a letter of forgiveness under the Full Moon can be a super powerful way of letting go of anger, resentment, and hurt.
Begin by acknowledging the hurt that was caused. This can help you to understand your own feelings and emotions and clarify your own thoughts.
The next step in the letter writing process is to express your emotions. Describe how you’ve felt. Share your anger, frustration, and pain. Be honest about how the hurt has affected you.
Next, explain what you want to forgive. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened or pretending it didn’t happen. Instead, it means releasing the anger and bitterness you may feel towards the person who hurt you. Explain what you are willing to forgive. Be specific about what you forgive. Explain what specific actions or words you are forgiving. This can help the person understand the specific things they did that caused you pain and why you are forgiving them.
Finally, close your letter with positive words or encouragement. Express your hope for the future and that you can work together to move on from the past. You can either tear this letter up or safely burn under the Full Moon and feel the release as the embers rise from the burning paper.
Cancer
As a homebody, carving out a space at home for you to journal and meditate under the Full Moon is ideal for the sign of Cancer.
Find a spot in your house, one that feels comfortable and safe. Begin to collate moon-related items, including a moonstone, a small crystal, and either a white or silver candle—colors often associated with the moon.
You could also consider your divination tools such as tarot cards, runes, or a pendulum for your moon-related rituals. People will often add natural items to their altar to represent the natural cycles of the moon, including dried flowers or herbs, acorns, or stones.
Finally, add your journal and a cushion to sit upon when you are manifesting under the Full Moon at your powerful altar.
Leo
A Leo loves to be loved, which is why the Full Moon presents the perfect opportunity to write a love letter to yourself.
First of all, find a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus on yourself and your thoughts. Begin by expressing gratitude to yourself for all the wonderful qualities and characteristics that make you unique and special.
Acknowledge any challenges or difficulties that you have faced in your life and recognize the strength and resilience that you have demonstrated in overcoming them. Reflect on the ways in which you have grown and evolved as a person and the things that you have accomplished that you are proud of.
Write down some affirmations or positive statements about yourself, such as “I am worthy of love and respect” or “I am capable and confident in all that I do.”
Finally, express your love and appreciation for yourself in a heartfelt and genuine way, letting yourself know that you are loved and valued and that you deserve all the joy and fulfillment that life has to offer.
Virgo
Virgo, you are known for your love of a good declutter, and the Full Moon is the ideal time to cleanse and free space in both mind, soul, and home.
First of all, it brings clarity of mind. When you declutter your physical space, you also declutter your mind. A cluttered physical environment can lead to a cluttered mind, which can make it difficult to focus on your goals and desires.
By decluttering, you create space and clarity, which can help you focus your energy and attention on your manifestations. It’s also a symbolic act of letting go of the old and making way for the new.
When you get rid of things that no longer serve you, you make space for new experiences and opportunities to come into your life. This can help you align your energy with your desires and manifest them more easily.
And finally, when we consider the law of attraction, this Universal law states like attracts like. When you have a cluttered physical space, you may be inadvertently attracting more clutter and chaos into your life. By decluttering, you signal to the universe that you are ready for positive changes and abundance to come into your life. Ready, set, clean…
Libra
If there’s an excuse for you to purchase a new journal, Libra, then let the Full Moon be it. Use this lunar phase to journal on the limiting beliefs that you have that are holding you back from stepping into your vision board self.
Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed and set aside at least 10-15 minutes to write. To identify your limiting beliefs, think about the areas of your life where you feel stuck or where you experience self-doubt. Write down any negative thoughts or beliefs that come to mind.
For example, if you struggle with public speaking, you might write “I’m not good enough to speak in front of a crowd.” It is now time to challenge your limiting beliefs: Once you’ve identified them, ask yourself if they’re really true. Is there any evidence that contradicts them? Are they based on past experiences that may not be relevant anymore? Write down any counter arguments or evidence that challenges these limiting beliefs.
The next part of this process is to reframe your thoughts in a more positive and empowering way. For example, instead of “I’m not good enough to speak in front of a crowd,” you might write something like, “I may be nervous, but I have valuable insights to share with others.”
And finally? Develop an action plan. Think about what steps you can take to overcome your limiting beliefs. Taking our example above, think about specific actions you could take to build your confidence or develop a new skill.
Remember, journaling on limiting beliefs is an ongoing process. It may take time and practice to shift your thinking, but by consistently challenging your negative thoughts and reframing them in a more positive way, you can start to break free from the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back.
Scorpio
Meditating under the Full Moon can be a powerful and transformative experience for Scorpios.
The Full Moon is often associated with increased energy and heightened emotions, and some people believe that the energy of the moon can be harnessed to deepen their meditation practice.
After you find somewhere comfortable to sit—preferably somewhere you can see the moon—set an intention for your meditation practice. You may want to focus on releasing negative emotions, increasing your intuition, or cultivating gratitude.
Begin by taking a few deep breaths and focusing your attention on your breath. Allow yourself to relax and let go of any tension or stress. As you continue to breathe, bring your attention to the moon. Allow yourself to become fully present in the moment and connect with the energy of the moon.
You may want to visualize the light of the moon entering your body and filling you with positive energy. If you find your mind wandering, simply acknowledge the thoughts and bring your focus back to the moon and your intention for your practice.
When you feel ready to end your practice, take a few deep breaths and express gratitude for the experience.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, as an adventurer and a free spirit, getting outside under the Full Moon might just be the perfect way to harness its energy.
A Full Moon walk and talk can be an amazing way to connect with nature, experience the beauty of the night sky, and have meaningful conversations with friends, family, or partner.
Once you know what night the Full Moon will appear, choose a location. This could be a park, beach, forest, or any other outdoor area that is easily accessible and safe. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for the weather and terrain. Bring a flashlight or headlamp for safety and to navigate the path.
And then? Start walking. Begin your walk when the moon is rising or already up in the sky. Take your time and enjoy your surroundings, using your senses to take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the night. This is the perfect time to have deep and introspective discussions with your fellow walkers. The peaceful atmosphere of the full moon can inspire deep and introspective discussions.
Finally, when you return home after your walk, take a few moments to reflect on the experience in your journal.
Capricorn
Cleansing your house with smoke is a common practice in many cultures and spiritual traditions and is a great way for energy conscious Capricorns to release and welcome new energy into their home.
There are different types of smoke that you can use to cleanse your house, such as palo santo, cedar, or frankincense. Each of these smokes has unique properties, and you should choose the one that resonates with you the most—please note to purchase ethically sourced cleansing tools.
Before you start smudging, make sure that your windows are open to allow the negative energy to escape. You can also create a positive intention for your space, such as saying a prayer or setting an intention.
Light the smoke using a match or a lighter and then blow out the flame. The smoke should start to billow and release its fragrance. Begin smudging at the entrance of your home and work your way clockwise around the house. Use a feather or your hand to waft the smoke in the direction you want it to go. Pay special attention to areas where energy can become stagnant, such as corners, closets, and basements.
As you smudge, focus on your intention of clearing negative energy and bringing in positivity. You can also say affirmations or prayers that resonate with you.
Finally, once you have finished smudging your house, you can extinguish the smoke by gently pressing the end of the smudge stick into a fireproof container.
Aquarius
Ever heard of moon water before? Despite being an air sign, Aquarius is represented by the water bearer (hence the “aqua”), so setting manifestations with moon water feels incredibly aligned.
How do you make moon water? First of all, choose a clean and clear container that is safe to hold water. Fill the container—this could be your glass—with clean and pure water. You can use tap water if it’s safe to drink, or you can use filtered water.
Find a spot where the moon is visible in the sky. Place the container of water in a spot where it will be directly under the light of the Full Moon; think your windowsill or outside in a safe place. Leave the container of water outside for several hours or overnight to allow the moon’s energy to infuse the water.
The amount of time you leave the water out is up to you, but many people prefer to leave it out overnight. In the morning, or whenever you’re ready, bring the container of moon water inside and store it in a cool and dark place.
You can use it for drinking, cooking, or any other purpose. Moon water is believed by some to have spiritual and healing properties, but it’s important to note that it’s not a substitute for medical treatment.
Pisces
Creating a Full Moon vision board is a great way to harness the energy of the moon and manifest your goals and desires.
Let’s begin by setting your intention. Take some time to reflect on what you want to manifest in your life. To create your Full Moon vision board, you’ll need a poster board, magazines, or printouts of images that represent your goals, scissors, glue or tape, markers, and any other decorations you like.
Look through magazines or print out images from Pinterest that represent your goals and desires. These could be pictures of a dream home, a dream job, a new relationship, or anything else that you want to manifest.
Cut out the images that resonate with you and that you want to include on your vision board. Begin arranging the images on your poster board. Try different layouts and see what feels right to you. Use markers or stickers to add words or phrases that represent your goals and desires.
On the night of the Full Moon, place your vision board under the moonlight to charge it with energy. And once you wake up? Place your Full Moon vision board somewhere where you will see it every day. This will help you stay focused on your goals and keep them at the forefront of your mind.
