The full moon is on the 12th, but its energy will be present from the night of the 11th to the morning of the 13th. The ideal time to perform this activity is on the 12th under the moonlight.
This is the best time to charge your crystals and prepare moon water, as the next phase includes an eclipse, during which moon water cannot be made. So, prepare at least two bottles in advance.
Now, let’s go over what to do and how to do it.

The full moon in Leo will amplify Leo’s traits in all of us. This energy benefits everyone, regardless of your zodiac, sun, or moon sign. Our activity will align with these traits to help you make the most of this energy.
What You’ll Need for the Full Moon Ritual
- Cleansing tools – Palo Santo, Sage, or any incense
- Crystals – Clear Quartz or Selenite (optional but powerful)
- Bay Leaves (5 leaves) – If unavailable, use a regular sheet of paper
- A Pen – Blue, red, or green ink is preferred, but any pen works
- A Quiet Space – Indoors or outdoors under the moonlight
- A Candle or Diya – Symbolizes positive energy
💡 Tip: Don’t stress if you don’t have all the materials! Your intention and energy are the most important aspects.
Step 1: Cleansing Your Energy and Space
Light Palo Santo, sage, or resin incense and move it around yourself in circular motions. Walk through your home, keeping windows and doors open to release stagnant energy.
Affirmations for Cleansing:
- I cleanse my aura from top to bottom.
- I restore my energy completely.
- My home and space are filled with positive energy.
Once done, sit comfortably with five bay leaves, two crystals, and a pen (any color ink).
Step 2: Preparing for the Meditation
Find a quiet place—prayer room, altar, garden, or balcony. If it’s too cold outside, do it indoors. Intention matters more than location.
Steps to Begin:
- Light a candle or diya for positive energy.
- Sit peacefully, close your eyes, and take deep breaths.
- Start a visualization exercise.
Visualization Exercise:
Imagine a big screen displaying your life. See your name in bold letters with a divine message:
“You are a rare gem in this world.”
Visualize each letter of your name appearing one by one with qualities that define you.
Example for Olivia:
- O – Outstanding, Optimistic
- L – Loving, Limitless
- I – Intelligent, Inspiring
- V – Victorious, Vibrant
- I – Innovative, Illuminated
- A – Abundant, Ambitious
Now, write down your own name with words that reflect your strengths.
Step 3: Activating Your Personal Power
While meditating, visualize yourself stepping out of the screen, and embracing your strengths. Feel these qualities flowing into you, filling you with confidence and purpose. When ready, open your eyes and carry this energy into daily life.
Step 4: Bay Leaf Manifestation Ritual
Take five bay leaves and write one letter of your name on each, along with words that reflect your qualities.
Example for Olivia:
- O – Optimistic, Outstanding
- L – Lively, Loving
- I – Inspiring, Intelligent
- V – Vibrant, Victorious
- A – Ambitious, Authentic
For longer names, combine letters on one leaf. Example for Alexander:
- A (Adventurous), L (Loyal), E (Energetic), X (exceptional), N (Nurturing), D (Dedicated), R (Resilient)
Place the bay leaves in front of you, then set your crystals (Clear Quartz, Citrine, or tumbles) on top. Close your eyes, thank the universe, and express gratitude for your gifts. Let every word sink in, accept your strengths, and step into your most authentic self.
Step 5: Burning the Bay Leaves for Manifestation
Burn each bay leaf, letting the ashes blow into the wind, and say:
“Thank you, Universe, for reminding me that I am whole, complete, and filled with divine qualities.”
Final Step: Reflect & Embrace Your Transformation
Bring your hands together in gratitude, and take a deep breath.
What We Achieved in This Full Moon Ritual
