A Full Moon arises tonight, and I feel it’s been beckoning me. I began to go down the rabbit hole of researching Full Moon Rituals versus New Moon Rituals. Here is what I learned.
New Moons are best for setting new goals for the next month. Creating new goals are not only reserved for the new year. We can do this every lunar cycle. Explore what it is you want to transpire in the next 28 days. What areas do you want to shift and how can you make that happen. This is the time to vow to make changes in your life and commit to taking action. New Moons are for manifestations.
- Take time to create an intention of how you want the next month to go
- Visualize attaining these goals
- Work on a vision board, crystal grid
- Verbalize your goals aloud to a trusted friend for accountability
Full Moons are best for cleansing. Let go of what no longer serves you. But there are mystical healing properties of a full moon. So one can additionally cleanse crystals, water, or oneself under a full moon. We are to reflect on the goals we began two weeks ago during the New Moon phase, but we don’t take action now. Energy is focused on taking care of one’s self. Self-compassion and slowing down. Clean out what is stale in one’s home and rest. It’s a time for grounding ourselves. Our emotions may be heightened during this time, therefore it’s best to not make any rash decisions. Full Moons are for cleansing and compassion.
- Clean out and declutter your space
- Sage and clear your atmosphere of stuck energy
- Cleanse yourself and crystals under a full moon
- Slow it down with some yin yoga and hygge self care
Regardless if you believe in the moon phases or not, this makes sense. Once a month focus on manifesting/directing where you want your life to go. Another aspect of the month, chill out and take care of yourself. I hope you take time to demonstrate some compassion for you on this lovely full moon evening.
