Full Moon affirmations are a really powerful tool for harnessing the peak energy of the lunar cycle, and putting that energy to use.

The full Moon is a time of heightened energy, illumination, and magnetism. It occurs at midway through the lunar cycle, when the creative and spiritual power of the Moon is at its greatest.

This makes it the perfect time to write and speak affirmations, to up send wishes and prayers, and send new beliefs out into the world!

Full Moons also hold the energy of release, which means this Moon phase can be used for letting go of anything that is no longer serving you, having outlived its usefulness in your life.

What are affirmations?

Affirmations are simple phrases or sentences that are repeated aloud.

Sounds simple, but they are SO much more than words of encouragement or emotional support!

Affirmations possess the power to radically transform the perspective you have of yourself, and your circumstances.

The right affirmations can influence what you attract into our lives, making them the ultimate manifestation tool. Many spiritual practices strongly encourage or even require the use of affirmations due to their potential for transformation.

This is because, if used correctly, affirmations can help to re-programme the subconscious mind.

BUT… What most people don’t realise, is that they’re using affirmations all the time, in the form of internal dialogue and scripts that keep going around and around inside their heads.

It’s even possible that you may be practicing negative affirmations without even realizing it.

This is why using positive affirmations can be such a powerful practice – it not only sets positive patterning into the mind, but it negated the negative.

Self talk is SO important.

What we say to ourselves matters, and serves as the benchmark for what we allow ourselves to experience and accept from others.

So infusing your internal scripts with positivity, confidence and blessings is the pathway to a more abundant, pleasure-filled and prosperous life.

Remember: our brains are constantly being reprogrammed. What you believe is possible today is NOT stuck in stone!

So isn’t it time to start participating in the new programme? To actually become the version of yourself that aligns with what you most desire in this life?

Why use affirmations at the Full Moon?

So affirmations are important. But why go to the trouble of coupling them with the Full Moon phase?

It’s simple: Because the Moon rules the unconscious.

So any work you do with your unconscious – tapping into counditioning, programming, beliefs, habits and limitations… will be amplified and enhanced by the power of the Full Moon phase.

At the Full Moon, lunar light and energy are beaming right into those darkest aspects, illuminating the shadow.

By working consciously with the Full Moon to light up and explore your shadow, all those limiting beliefs, and old, outdated programmes can be seen, and healed.

And in their place, you can add new beliefs, in the form of your Full Moon affirmations!

How to use full Moon affirmations

To make the most of any affirmations, it’s important to use them often and consistently.

Start on the day or night of the Full Moon.

I like to write my full Moon affirmations down on a piece of paper, and place them under the light of the Full Moon overnight.

Then in the morning, you can gather them up and place them somewhere prominant – on your altar, on the bathroom mirror, in your journal – wherever you’ll see them.

Be sure to say your affirmation at least once per day for the rest of the lunar cycle.

Try to make it a part of your morning or evening routine, or both!

Repetition is key – full Moon affirmations work best when used until the next New Moon at least. 

This is because during the waning half of the lunar cycle, energy is being released. You are letting go of unconscious programing, conditioning, old beliefs and habits.

Space is being created.

Repeating your full Moon affirmations will fill those spaces!

Complete list of the BEST full Moon affirmaitons for each zodiac sign

Each lunar cycle begins in a different zodiac sign. The full Moon of that cycle will rise in the opposite sign to where it began. (This is true 99% of the time – occasionally the alignment is off, so the astrology looks a little different).

For example, the new Moon in Aries will reach its full Moon phase in Libra. And the New Moon in Pisces will reach its full Moon phase in Virgo.

Below is a list of affirmations to use during the Full Moons in each zodiac sign.

If you track the lunar cycles in relation to your natal chart, you can also use these affirmations when the Full Moon rises in corresponding astrological house in your chart, too.
