How To Deeply Connect with the Super Blue Full Moon

If you’re asking yourself, “Didn’t we just have a full moon earlier this month?” The answer is yes — yes, we did. The Sturgeon Full Moon took place on August 1, but closing out the dog days of summer is the Super Blue Full Moon on August 30. 

As the third and last full moon of summer 2023 (Editors note — can someone please tell us where this summer went? How is it almost autumn?) gets ready to shine, here are some ways to make the most of the Super Blue Moon. 

What exactly is August’s Super Blue Moon?

First and foremost, this upcoming Super Blue Moon is a rare lunar event. And for that alone — we should all take the time to appreciate this celestial experience. 

On the night of August 30, we will have the opportunity to witness the convergence of two cosmic events at once.: a supermoon and a blue moon. 

A supermoon is when a full moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. 

Meanwhile, a blue moon is when two full moons occur in one month. This combination of phenomena will create a Super Blue Moon, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with the cosmos. 

Why are Full Moons so powerful?

The full moon is a symbol of power, magic, and spiritual energy. Its mesmerizing glow illuminates the night sky, captivating hearts and minds throughout history. But what is the spiritual significance of the full moon, and why does it hold such a special place in our collective consciousness?

For many, the full moon represents a time of heightened intuition and spiritual awareness. It amplifies our emotions and provides clarity in decision-making. During this phase, the energy is potent and transformative, making it an ideal time for manifestation and setting intentions.

In various spiritual traditions, the full moon is a time for reflection, healing, and releasing negative energy. It serves as a reminder to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. It is a time to cleanse and purify our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Furthermore, the full moon has major feminine energy — summoning the divine feminine. It represents the cycles of life, the ebb and flow of nature, and the nurturing energy of the universe. It reminds us of our connection to the natural world and the importance of embracing our intuitive, creative, and nurturing aspects.

As we approach this Super Blue Full Moon, let us tap into the spiritual significance of the full moon and embrace its transformative energy. 

Three Ways to Connect With This Super Blue Moon

If you’re into the woo-woo like us, you’re probably excited to celebrate this Super Blue Moon. To make the most of this rare lunar event, try to incorporate these simple but effective rituals. 

Moon Gazing

Find a comfortable spot outside, away from any light pollution, and simply gaze at the Super Blue Full Moon. Let your mind quiet down as you soak in the moon’s radiant energy.

You can use this time to reflect on your goals and desires or to simply appreciate the beauty of the universe. Take deep breaths and allow yourself to feel grounded and connected to the earth.

Want to enhance your dreamy moon-gazing moment? Get into a hammock and swing the night away. 

Full Moon Meditation

Find a quiet and peaceful space where you can sit comfortably — inside or outside. 

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Visualize the Super Blue Moon in all its glory, bathing you in its celestial light. 

As you breathe in, imagine drawing in the moon’s energy and as you exhale, release any tension or negativity. Allow yourself to open up to receive the moon’s wisdom and guidance. Continue to meditate for as long as feels right to you.

Afterward, write in a journal about your experience — sharing any free-flowing thoughts you may have. Welcome in any energy you may feel. 

Ritual Bath

As the night sky turns dark, create a sacred and soothing space in your bathroom by lighting candles and playing calming music. 

Fill your bathtub with warm water and add some Epsom salts, essential oils, or dried herbs. And as you soak in the water, visualize any negative energy or emotions washing away, leaving you cleansed and renewed. 

You can also use this time to set intentions or express gratitude for the blessings in your life.

While these simple rituals are a powerful way to connect with the energy of the Super Blue Moon, it’s an optimal time to align yourself with its transformative power. 

Manifest with the Super Blue Moon

Whether you choose to moon gaze, meditate, or take a ritual bath, remember to be fully present in the moment and embrace the magic that this celestial event has to offer. 

Additionally, If you want to use the power of the Super Blue Moon, recite a manifestation prayer. Here is one of our favorites: 

“Grandmamma Moon,

I stand and bathe in your light and step fully into the flow of abundance

I am ready to receive all that wants to flow to and through me.

And so it is.”
