Generally, full moon energy can be used to increase psychic gifts. đŽâ¨Youâll want to invoke any lunar deities youâre familiar with and ask for some prophetic dreams during this time!đ

Moon Dominant souls live in the land of the emotions, and are connected with the psychic sensitivities that exist there. Their character is imaginative, receptive, nurturing, and dependent on the mood and tenor of their present atmosphere. Cycling between periods of inactivity and isolation, they learn to draw on their own instincts to evolve and ultimately procreate.
Moon Dominance in the Signs:
Fire (aries, leo, sagittarius): Your imagination & intuition are elevated to amazing heights, and you are able to envision extraordinary things. You have more sensitivity of self, and sensitivity towards others which pushes you in contradicting directions. Because the usual fearless independence is diluted a bit, you have many romantic dreams of the future possibilities with a sidekick or partner. You are a merciful leader, and easily hurt, but steadfast & resolute, somewhat shy, but creatively talented.
Earth (taurus, virgo, capricorn):You are concerned with your home and family, and feeling cozy. Like Mother Nature, you embrace the mystical and practical sides of your self, and when you listen to your instincts, you can accomplish great feats. But you are firmly attached to your roots and the past, that is why family is important to you, it is what nursed you to help you grow into yourself, and you feel it is directly entwined with your identity. You are nostalgic, cautious, but capable of nourishing yourself.
Air (gemini, libra, aquarius): You are psychologists, reliant on personal exchanges to feed both your mind and imagination. You instinctively understand human behaviors, and are able to balance your feelings and your logic. You have a great memory, and superb intelligence, though it can be clouded by feelings of doubt and introspection. You can discriminate between feelings with both concern and curiosity, and will be great help to friends seeking advice.
Water (cancer, scorpio, pisces): Your emotions infiltrate every fiber of your being, and you rely heavily on your intuition to guide you towards doing the right thing. You are perceptive, and sensitive to the auras around people, and both mystical and mysterious. There are sneaking suspicions about people that transform into overpowering gut instincts, and eventually into positive or negative romantic feelings. You are maternal towards everyone you grow to love, and capable of sacrificing yourself for the sake of love.
January: The Old Moon â Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside of villages. Thus, the name for Januaryâs full Moon. Most commonly know as Full Wolf Moon, or the Moon After Yule.
February: The Storm Moon â Â Since the heaviest snow usually falls during this month, native tribes of the north and east most often called Februaryâs full moon the Full Snow Moon. Some tribes also referred to this moon as the Full Hunger Moon, since harsh weather conditions in their areas made hunting very difficult.
March: The Sugar Moon â As the temperature begins to warm and the ground begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. It marks the time of tapping maple trees. To the settlers, it was also known as the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full moon of winter.
April: The Growing Moon â This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Itâs a time when things begin to grow.
May: The Flower Moon â Flowers spring forth in abundance this month. Some Algonquin tribes knew this full moon as the Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon.
June: The Honey Moon â The Algonquin tribes knew this moon as a time to gather ripening strawberries.
July: The Mead Moon â July is normally the month when the new antlers of buck deer push out of their foreheads in coatings of velvety fur.
August: The Lighting Moon â The sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full Moon. Others called it the Green Corn Moon or the Grain Moon.
September: The Fruit Moon â This full moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley. The Harvest Moon is the full moon nearest the autumnal equinox, which can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing all the harvest chores.
October: The Travel Moon â This is the month when the leaves are falling and the game is fattened. Now is the time for hunting and laying in a store of provisions for the long winter ahead.
November: The Frost Moon full moon in November, also know as the Full Beaver Moon, and was known as the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs.
December: The Winter Moon â This is the month when the winter cold fastens its grip and the nights become long and dark. This full moon is also called the Long Nights Moon by some Native American tribes.
You have a dozen lists of ideas for what do to on the biggest Super Moon in thirty years, but none of them speak to you. Here are a few different ideas for what to do when nothing else seems right.Â
1. Â Â Enchant Some Pumpkins. No, really. Pumpkins are ideal for lunar magic and theyâre abundant this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. Enchant them under the moon for safety, prosperity, or heightened magical powers. Put them out around the holidays and no one will be the wiser.Â
2. Â Â Instead of (or perhaps, in addition to) charging things under the full moon, Bury some Scary Things that you havenât Cleansed. We all bought a thrift-store find that we think will be perfect on our altar that gives off a super bad vibe. Bury it. Gifted tool from a witchy frenemy? Bury it. Dig them up at the new moon for a harmless object.Â
3. Â Â Get in Your Bath. Ah, yes, it wouldnât be a RW post without a bath magic mention. While every post is screaming to make moon water (still do it), what better way to get immediate benefits than from submerging your whole body in it? Do one for self love, healing, harnessing the moon, or whatever else.
