FULL MOON RITUAL 

BIG & BOLD, CREATIVE LEO ENERGY.

Leo encourages us to take the bold step forward and not cower to our fears.

The full moon in Leo brings forth a potent blend of fiery energy, creativity, and self-expression. Leo, ruled by the vibrant sun, is associated with confidence, courage, and leadership. When the full moon illuminates this sign, it amplifies these qualities, inviting us to embrace our inner strength and shine brightly in the world.

This lunar phase encourages us to express ourselves authentically and passionately, tapping into our creative potential and basking in the spotlight without fear or hesitation. It's a time to celebrate our unique gifts and talents, honoring the power of self-love and self-expression.

However, the full moon in Leo also reminds us to balance our desire for recognition and validation with humility and generosity. It urges us to lead with compassion and kindness, using our influence to uplift others and create positive change in our communities.

What bold moves are you holding back from? This could be a new creative project, or maybe it’s a new way of showing up in the world. Where can you shine bright and stop playing small?

MATERIALS

  • Candle

  • Pen and paper

  • Fire-safe container or bowl

  • Essential oil or incense (optional)

  • Crystals associated with Leo (such as citrine or tiger's eye) optional

STEPS:

  • Set the mood: Create a sacred space by dimming the lights and playing soft music if desired. Light your candle and any incense or essential oils you have chosen.

  • Center yourself: Take a few deep breaths to ground yourself and center your energy. Close your eyes and visualize a warm, golden light surrounding you, filling you with confidence and courage.

  • Reflect: Take a moment to reflect on what you wish to release and what you wish to manifest during this full moon in Leo. Write down any negative patterns, limiting beliefs, or obstacles you want to let go of, as well as your desires and intentions for the future.

  • Release: Hold the paper containing your written intentions and negative patterns over the flame of the candle (be careful not to burn yourself). As you do so, visualize the fire transforming your written words into ash, releasing them from your life with love and gratitude. Once you feel ready, safely burn the paper in the fire-safe container or bowl.

  • Affirmations: Hold your crystals in your hands or place them around you. Close your eyes and repeat empowering affirmations aloud or in your mind, such as "I am confident in my abilities," "I embrace my unique gifts and talents," or "I radiate joy and positivity."

  • Gratitude: Take a moment to express gratitude for the blessings in your life, both past and present. Visualize the golden light expanding outward, sending love and appreciation to yourself, others, and the universe.

  • Closing: Blow out the candle and thank the divine energies of the full moon in Leo for their guidance and support. Trust that your intentions have been heard and that positive changes are on the way.
