AYA Busy girls guide to a full moon ritual

Who doesn’t love some powerful full moon energy? A celestial event that stirs something deep within us. It’s a time when emotions can run wild, yet, in the same breath, we feel a surge of power and clarity! There’s a certain magic in the air during a full moon, it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with its energy in a way that feels personal and meaningful to you. 

One of the most intuitive ways to engage with the full moon’s energy is through tarot or oracle cards. These cards are more than just divination tools; they are mirrors reflecting your inner thoughts and the messages the universe is trying to communicate to you. When you sit down with your deck, approach it with an open mind and heart. Ask yourself the questions that we listed below or set an intention, then draw a card. Let your intuition guide you in interpreting the card—don’t overthink it. The first thoughts or feelings that arise are often your inner guide. 

Here’s some of the ways to use each of the 4 elements in your full moon ritual: 

🔥 Fire 🔥

  • Write down what you want to release on a piece of paper and burn it. 

  • Burn symbolic items like bay leaves or herbs to represent transformation. ✨For the gardeners✨ Here’s your chance to spark up with intention. 

🌊 Water  🌊

  • Take a ritual bath or shower, visualizing the water washing away old energy that no longer serves you. 

  • Create moon water by placing a jar of water outside to soak up the moon’s energy, don’t forget to bring it inside before sunrise! 

  • Can be used to cleanse your home or sacred spaces. 

  • Watering plants to enhance their energy.

  • Can be used in manifesting rituals to “supercharge” your intentions. 

🌬️ Air 🌬️ 

  • Practice deep breathing exercises, releasing negativity with each exhale. 

  • Spend time in meditation, either indoors or outdoors, allowing the wind or your breath to carry away negative thoughts. 

🌎 Earth 🌎

  • Get those toes in the ground to truly connect with the universe. 

  • Hold a crystal that resonates with your intention. 

  • Rose quartz & Carnelian for some self love and confidence 

  • Citrine for manifesting those dreams 

  • Black Tourmaline for protection 

  • Flourite & Tiger’s eye for concentration 

As you prepare to embrace the full moon’s energy, remember that your ritual is unique to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and the beauty of the full moon is that its energy lingers for about three days before and after the actual event. This means there’s no rush to perform your ritual on the exact day—let your intuition guide you. 

Whether you feel called to sit under the moonlight, engage with the elements, or simply take a moment of quiet reflection, trust in what feels right for you. The magic lies in the connection you create, so honor your personal process and let the full moon’s energy empower you in your own special way. ✨🌕
