The Full Moon invites us to rise. To peel back the layers. To reawaken.

Each lunar cycle brings an opportunity to align with our higher self and purpose. But to truly access the ethereal power of the Full Moon, we must dive into ritual, shadow work, meditation, and the wisdom of our bodies. This isn’t just about moonlight magic—it’s about remembering who you are.

This guide offers intuitive Full Moon rituals by zodiac sign, inspired by astrology, energy work, and spiritual embodiment practices. Whether you're feeling the intensity of the Beaver Moon or a Lunar Eclipse amplifies the shift, you'll find clarity and connection.

Full Moon Rituals for Each Zodiac Sign Aries ♐: Grounded Listening

Use this Full Moon to:

Truly listen to your inner self. It is the Ego that disguises itself as the inner self at times, which you can base decisions on. This cycle is a time to listen deeply and you will hear the call of the Universe, pushing you in the right direction. During this time, surround yourself with elders you trust and people who you admire. Listening in these groups may arise a new opportunity or idea to ponder for future use.

Ritual: Sit outside with a cup of herbal tea and local honey, and for once, let silence fall on you. Listen to the world, the sounds of the trees, the songs of the birds, and look at the nature surrounding you. During this fall season, what has resonated with you that you will carry for life? Become it.

What do you connect with more? Why? Journal about it. I have a list of journal prompts here!

Your inner goddess is calling, breathe in this magical Full Moon + Lunar Eclipse energy with all of your being. Release the stagnant energy that is not yours, that you carried around without knowing. You are the power that you desire. Claim it.

Taurus ♉: Remembering Your Why

Use this Full Moon to:

Reconnect to the purpose behind your goals. Are they still aligned with your soul? If so, what is standing in your way?

Ritual: 

Write what you need to release on a piece of tree bark. At the peak of the Full Moon, crumble and scatter it in the East, letting the air element transmute it.

Gemini ♊: Focused Curiosity

Use this Full Moon to:

Tap into a project that resonates with you. Gemini energy is all about learning new things, new people, and experiences. But to take in too much at once leaves us with nothing at all.

Ritual: To mitigate this trait, meditate on the Planetary hour of the day that you were born (see chart below) and call in a spiritual guide (please make sure to protect yourself first with anointing oil and prayer, chant, or spell) to assist you. Thank them for showing up, and ask - in your mental body - what aligns with your purpose for this lunar cycle, what is for the Higher Good? Meditating on this question, you will be presented with an answer - focus on this activity/hobby/action for the cycle. If you want to go even deeper, here are some Lunar Yoga Series - amazing flows designed to capture the energy of each moon phase.

Cancer ♋: Radical Comfort

Use this Full Moon to:

Find comfort in yourself. Start by committing to a boundary, a hobby that you often neglect because you are focused on the needs of others. Get comfortable carving out time for yourself, that is productive, and relish being comfortable with the most important person of all, you!

Ritual: (You'll need rosemary, red or pink candle, and sweet-smelling essential oil.) During the height of the full moon, take a bath while meditating on yourself. After the bath, rub the candle all over your body upwards, affirming to yourself that you are comforted no matter what. You feel many emotions but you are not every emotion. Light the candle and meditate on what it feels like to truly be accepted, this is the comfort that we all need.

Use this Full Moon to:

Step into what it really means to be royalty. Meditate on the values that are meaningful to you. What things can you do to ensure your values are being upheld in your daily life? As a Leo, standing out is always the goal, but don't do too much in an effort to be seen. The lion always is seen when it needs to be.

Ritual: To fully embody what it means to be seen as royalty, the week leading up to the Full Moon, wear the best clothes that you have to each outing. work, lunch with friends, dinner date, housewarming party. Wear bold colors that fit your body well, and speak with confidence because what you say matters. Self-confidence starts by just working with what you have and accepting yourself. During the Full Moon, do a 6-card tarot spread. First, two pulls are the image you are presenting, second two pulls are the image you are being seen as by the world, and the last two pulls are how to embody those characteristics.

Virgo ♍: Intuitive Structure

During this lunar cycle, meditate in a peaceful bath, letting the water stabilize your emotions, and ask your inner self to reveal to you where your focus should be during this month. Feel the answer in your body, and let it settle into your subconscious.

During the love letter, imagine you are sitting in front of yourself. Have you spoken nicely to the person in front of you? What do you wish everyone could see that you feel they don't currently? Write this all down, and place it on the altar. Kiss it three times, and light a pink candle, reflecting on the love you have for yourself.

If it's being more patient with loved ones, take the necessary steps to do so. Whatever it is, focus deeply on what your subconscious has been trying to tell you.

Ritual: Meditate under the Full Moon (longer than the usual 5 minutes) and ask your Higher Self, "What messages do I need to receive to enhance my life to a life better served for the Universe?"

Ritual: This Full Moon is also tied with a Total Lunar Eclipse! This makes the power of the moon above and our power below so much more meaningful. As you begin your ritual this cycle, only focus on how you will succeed, not the practical side of things. During this time, give attention to what makes you feel safe and what feels good when you go into yourself. What do you need more of? Send this message out to the Universe of what you need to feel safe. To feel loved. Grab a black ink pen, and a slab of bark that you can easily write on, and scribe the message that is between you and the Universe.
