Sagittarius Full Moon Ritual + Journal Prompts
A Sagittarius Full Moon is a powerful event that combines the expansive energy of Sagittarius with the heightened emotions and illumination of a Full Moon. This guide offers a step-by-step ceremony to harness the energy of this alignment.
Materials Needed:
- A quiet space
- Altar or a designated focal point
- White or purple candles
- Matches or a lighter
- Pen and paper
- Crystals, especially those associated with Sagittarius (such as amethyst, sodalite, or citrine)
- Smudging tool (sage, palo santo, or incense)
- Optional: Metal bowl for burning paper in release step
Preparation:
- Tidy up your home. Take a shower or bath to cleanse your energy.
- Find a space where you can perform the ceremony without interruptions.
- Set up your altar or focal point with your chosen items, including the candles, crystals, and anything else you might like to add.
- Take a few moments to ground yourself and set your intention for the ritual. Consider where you need to let go of things and what is coming up for you right now or the past 2 weeks, especially in aspects of Sagittarius energy.
The Ceremony:
-
Purify the Space: Open up your windows, light your smudging tool and cleanse the space by wafting the smoke around the area. Visualize any stagnant or negative energy dissipating, making way for positive and transformative energies.
-
Lighting the Candles: Light the white or purple candles, representing the illumination and wisdom of the full moon. As you light each candle, set the intention for the ceremony, inviting the expansive energies of Sagittarius to guide and bless you.
-
Meditation and Reflection: Take a few moments to center yourself through deep breathing. Allow your thoughts to settle and focus your attention on the flame of one of the candles. Reflect on the areas of your life where you wish to release and where you seek growth, expansion, and truth. Write down any insights, questions, or intentions that arise.
-
Affirmations and Mantras: Hold your chosen crystals in your hands. Close your eyes and repeat the following affirmations (or any that resonate with your experience or Sagittarius energy) For example:
- "I embrace adventure and seek new horizons."
- "I release anything holding me back from my happiest life"
- "I am open to the truth and wisdom that unfolds before me."
- "I trust in the journey and have faith in my path."
-
Offering and Gratitude: Select an offering that symbolizes gratitude and abundance, such as a flower, a small piece of fruit, or a token representing your aspirations. Place it on the altar as an expression of gratitude for the blessings in your life and the opportunities for growth.
-
The Release: Write down on a piece of paper " I am ready and now release anything holding me back from my happiest, healthiest, most fulfilled self. I am ready to let go of and release _______ from my life with the highest good to all and harm to none." Write down anything you are ready to part from, bad habits, toxic relationships, limiting beliefs. Burn (safely), rip and throw away, or flush the paper down the toilet. Watch it parting from your space and imagine everything holding you back peacefully leaving your life.
-
Gratitude: Express your gratitude to the Moon, the energy of Sagittarius and the Universe for their guidance and support. Blow out the candles, symbolizing the completion of the ceremony.
