Full Moon Rituals: How to Release What No Longer Serves You

If the new moon is for planting seeds, the full moon is for harvest — and for release. As the moon reaches its peak, its energy is ideal for letting go of what's been weighing you down.

A simple full moon release ritual

• Find a quiet space and light a candle.
• Write down everything you're ready to release — fears, grudges, habits.
• Read your list aloud, then safely burn it (or tear it up).
• Place a glass of water under the moonlight to charge overnight.

After the ritual

Notice how you feel over the next few days. Release often makes space for clarity, and you may find decisions becoming easier as the heaviness lifts.

Pair your moon work with a reading to understand which cycle you're in and what's ready to be released.
