Spirituality During The Full Moon

Full moons are rather stunning, aren’t they? Occurring once a month when the sun and moon are aligned on opposite sides of the Earth, and the sun’s rays illuminate the moon’s surface, the moon shines at its brightest and fullest, providing much beauty and spiritual power. For centuries, humans have been living by lunar cycles, and connecting to the special energies can ground us with the spiritual power of both the Earth and the heavens. The full moon can enhance our intentions and bring them to fruition, providing us with the confidence we need to move forward in life, and live the life we’ve imagined. Because this is quite powerful stuff, and we want to ensure you harness this power correctly, in this blog, we detail how to do just that, and how this aligns with each month and horoscope. And if you’d like further information or spiritual guidance, we encourage you to have a psychic reading today with one of our psychic readers here at Psychic Sofa. With care and professionalism, they’ll support you on your life’s journey no end. To find out more, please call us today on 0905 789 7752 (calls cost 80p per minute plus your network access charge) or on 0161 864 0152 for your own psychic phone reading.

Spiritual Activity During The Full Moon

While the new moon is a time of setting intentions and looking to the future, the full moon is the time to put words and plans into action. Starting with the ‘dark’ phase of the new moon, the lunar surface increases light in the next two-week period, and then manifests itself as a full moon. It becomes a spiritual and energetic peak of the intentions you set, and boosts your ability to achieve them.

As the moon leans toward full light, our own energy enhances, and we gather momentum for accomplishing great things. As the full moon arrives, the waning moon phase begins, and we can begin to let go of what’s no longer working for us. This allows new beginnings, ways of thinking and opportunities to arise.

There are various popular spiritual practices during this time, and they include:

• Holding a moon circle, which helps you to harness the moon’s energy, within a trusted group of like-minded individuals. At a moon circle, you can set intentions, listen to each other’s wants and needs, and help each other to let go of past hurt too.

• Conducting a manifestation ritual, which involves creating a sacred space in your home and adding meaningful objects - such as photos, notes, and crystals, or other objects that contain the spiritual energy of the desire you’d like to manifest. Next, meditation is recommended to help clear the mind and focus on the particular aspects of your intentions. By visualising exactly what you want, and using the special objects as a point of reference, you can begin to hone in and set into motion the elements for the life you want.

• Taking a moon bath, which helps you to connect with lunar energy more closely. Drawing a healing bath at the time of the full moon and infusing it with your favourite salts, crystals and candles can boost your intentions no end, and, if you’re more daring, taking a dip in a nearby lake or pool (with safety precautions of course) can help drive your aura home.

The Full Moons, The Months & Their Intentions

Depending on the month, each full moon carries with it varying energy and offers something that is both different and special. Tapping into this energy, and using it to your advantage, can help bring forth good things. From January to December, there’s much at play, and much to gain from the universe.

• January’s full moon: This is known as the ‘wolf moon’, and this is the time to catch up with friends and family (i.e., your wolf pack), to ensure they’ve all recovered after the festivities, and that they are having a good start to the year.

• February’s full moon: The snow moon symbolises new beginnings and taking steps out of your comfort zone to achieve the seemingly impossible. You are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for, and tapping into the new moon can help you to realise this.

• March’s full moon: As we leave behind winter and ready ourselves for spring, this is the time to leave behind any sources of negativity, insecurities or bad vibes, and determine how we want to live our lives going forward. The worm moon teaches us to warm up to new beliefs, attitudes and opportunities.

• April’s full moon: The pink moon, named after the colourful flowers that bloom in April, is recommended for charging your birthstones and spiritual tools within the fresh realms of nature.

• May’s full moon: The flower moon wants you to embrace the wild, and allow openness and understanding. This is a great time to go hiking, visit a lake or other natural retreat, and clear the mind of daily struggles.

• June’s full moon: Summer’s strawberry moon is a superb time to add fresh fruits, flowers and other sweet items - such as honey - into your spiritual rituals. This is the time to be setting intentions that relate to the sun, such as self-care, greater confidence and belief in oneself.

• July’s full moon: This ‘buck moon’ enables growth and strength, and encourages the distinction between walking out of a bad situation, or running away from one that can be worked through with communication. Setting intentions in July and asking for guidance from spirit guides can lead you onto the right path, as well as ensure that your welfare and happiness are placed at the forefront of your decision making.

• August’s full moon: With your new-found strength, the ‘sturgeon moon’ requests that you reflect on your abilities, talents, and what you desire most in the world. Considering your career path, and what you’d like to achieve, is preferable in August.

• September’s full moon: The corn moon (also known as the ‘harvest moon’) celebrates feminine energy and the beautiful qualities that encompass this. As Mother Nature expresses herself, this is a great time for both agricultural and spiritual growth too.

• October’s full moon: The ‘hunter’s moon’ is a great time to set autumnal intentions, and consider change. What’s been getting your goat recently? What do you want to achieve by the end of the year? With this clear in your mind, make a plan for bringing this to fruition and let the moon’s energy flow throughout.

• November’s full moon: As the Earth gets colder, it’s time to get in touch with your senses and understand your reactions. Grounding your sensations within the ‘beaver moon’ will boost your awareness and help you to better understand how to best deal with both the physical and mental worlds, as well as how to manage them better.

• December’s full moon: As you reflect on the past year, the ‘cold moon’ is a time to relax, reset and consider all the fantastic things you’ve accomplished, while looking ahead to the future. 

The Moon & The Stars - How Your Horoscope Plays A Role

Because a full moon always falls within an astrological sign, each carries with it varying energies and ideas, and we can use this information to help us connect with the spirit world. From Aries to Pisces, we take a look at what each star sign can gain from the cosmos:

• The moon in Aries: This is the time to celebrate what you love most about yourself, and release any negative energies, self-doubt and boost that self-belief.

• The Taurus moon: An earth sign that is ruled by Venus, take time to appreciate nature and engage your senses in all its splendor. This is a great time to go for outdoor walks and to take in the fresh night air.

• The Gemini moon: This air sign finds their curiosity heightened at this time, and new adventures are certainly afoot.

• The moon in Cancer: This Zodiac sign is the moon’s home, and it symbolises the waters of the womb. This is a great time to indulge in some luxurious self-care and treat yourself to something sweet.

• The moon in Leo: Encourages this star sign to connect with their inner lion and showcase their style. This is the time to refresh your wardrobe with a little dash of something fabulous!

• The Virgo moon: Encourages this star sign to make order out of chaos and decide what’s working on a personal level, and what isn’t. Now is the time to remove the latter, making way for only good things.

• The Libra moon: Tells us to create harmony and justice in the world and find balance where life is becoming too much. Breathe, take a step back, and realise that life will work out if you let it.

• The moon in Scorpio: Asks you to activate your inner psychic and lean into spiritual guidance to help uncover your deepest and darkest desires.

• The moon in Sagittarius: This is the time for you to dive into new adventures and broaden your horizons. Trying something new can help you to find that special something that you may have felt has been missing from your life.

• The Capricorn moon: Ruled by Saturn - the planet of structure - Capricorns are asked to find personal and spiritual growth through structure and logical meaning. If a pattern isn’t working, then abandon it, and build something new that will.

• The Aquarius moon: This star sign’s symbol is the water bearer, and, during this cycle, Aquarians are asked to wash away the past hurt and make room for fantastic opportunities. We may not be able to change past hurt, but we can learn from it, and do our best to make way for a much better future.

• The Pisces moon: Represented by mystical waters, this is the time to get in touch with nature and to listen to the beautiful sounds of the ocean to prepare oneself for what’s to come.

The moon’s energy is strong and powerful, just as we are if we trust in its wisdom. Harnessing it can help us to connect with ourselves, our desires, and what we truly want out of life. Meditating, moon circles and moon baths are all superb ways to get in touch with this celestial being, especially when it aligns with your birth month.
