Use these full moon crystals to receive deep insights and downloads from the higher spiritual realms.
Full moons are magical times when the veil between the physical and spiritual dimensions is thin. The potent energies of a full moon enhance our intuition and help us tap into our psychic abilities. Our emotions are heightened and we become more sensitive, reflective, and perhaps a bit more anxious than usual.
That is why during the full moon it becomes extremely important to stay grounded and practice self-care. Full moons are usually not the best time for decision-making and taking action, since the cosmic energies guide us to turn our focus inward and do some much-needed soul-searching. We should also work on releasing expectations during this time.

Full moons also tend to bring unexpected shake-ups and radical changes that show us where we are holding on too tightly and what needs to be released. When the fullness of the moon has stirred up our hidden emotions, we might feel it’s time to turn the page and let go of things that are no longer serving us so that we can live our fullest lives.
5 Crystals for Tapping the Full Moon’s Energies
Working with crystals can offer you support, guidance, and extra protection during this potent time. For starters, cleanse and charge the energies of your crystals by placing them in a bowl of water under the light of the full moon.

1. Citrine for Manifestation
Full moons are powerful times for visualization and manifestation of your heart´s desires. It is during these times that the seeds you have previously planted start to bear fruit and the flow of abundance is activated.
Working with a citrine crystal helps you attract financial prosperity and success on every level. It is a crystal that has incredibly uplifting and positive vibes that boost your energy levels and vitality. Citrine supports you in turning your dreams into reality, as its high-vibrational energy bridges the gap between the physical and spiritual realms.
During the night of the full moon, make a list of your heart´s desires and place it under your pillow or somewhere near your bed together with a citrine crystal. This will help you manifest your dreams. It is important that you feel positive and joyful while writing the list and thinking about what you wish to draw in.
2. Fluorite for Clarity
During the full moon, things can seem foggy, and you might feel a sense of confusion. Remember not to overthink things and try to go from your head into your heart. However, if you do need to make an important decision, turn to fluorite crystal for support. Working with a fluorite crystal can help you regain your sense of purpose and direction.
This translucent crystal has purifying, calming, and balancing properties, and it helps you focus your mind on the here and now.
Placing a fluorite crystal anywhere in your home or workspace during the full moon helps to clear away negative and unsettling energy and fill your space with bright and radiant vibes. Should you feel that your emotions are running high, just hold a piece of fluorite in your hands, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel a sense of peace and clarity take over.
3. Onyx for Grounding
Onyx is an incredibly potent crystal that is great for deep introspection. Wearing an onyx crystal as a pendant or a bracelet during the full moon gives you protection against anger and negativity, while helping to ground and balance your energies at a time when your own emotions are about to erupt. Working with onyx as a full moon crystal helps you release harmful attachments and self-destructive patterns.
So, if a toxic relationship has been draining your energies, turn to onyx for a boost of strength and self-confidence.
An onyx crystal helps you step into your power, face your own shadow side, and overcome your deep-rooted fears. It may also trigger your unhealed wounds so that they can be purged in the light of your awareness.
Onyx teaches us that fear is often disguised as anger or judgment. Those who hurt others often have deep, unhealed wounds that need loving attention. Reacting from a place of anger is often the easy way out for those who aren’t ready to admit they have a lot of inner work to do.
4. Aquamarine for Truth & Surrender
This gorgeous light blue crystal connects you with the life-giving waters of our planet. Since ancient times, aquamarine crystals have been associated with the ocean and mermaids. It is believed that these crystals offer protection on sea voyages.
It is a well-known fact that ocean tides are strongly affected by the full moon. Since aquamarine has such a powerful connection with the ocean, it is a wonderful crystal to work with during this time. It helps you shed light on messy situations and uncover the hidden motives of others.
Aquamarine is a crystal of truth that helps you be honest about your intentions and to express your feelings openly. It reminds us that we are all part of a boundless ocean of energy. Just like the waves, we are dancing along the surface of this vast ocean, ceaselessly transforming and changing from birth to death, again and again.
Since aquamarine is closely connected to the throat chakra, the most effective way to harness the energies of this crystal is to wear it as a necklace or earrings so that it stays close to your throat area.
5. Moonstone for Connection & Dreams
Working with moonstone during the full moon helps you receive guidance and messages from your guardian angel and spirit guides.
This crystal of fertility and sensuality enhances your intuition even further and connects you with your inner Divine Goddess. The serene and subtle energies of the moonstone can also bring you relief from sleeplessness.
Turn to moonstone if your love life needs improving. It is believed that this crystal can help attract your soulmate and increase passion in your romantic relationship. On a small piece of paper, write down the qualities and personality traits you would like your soulmate to have, then place it under your pillow together with a moonstone during the night of the full moon.
Finally, the nurturing and compassionate vibes of moonstone remind you to take good care of yourself and pamper yourself with soul-soothing activities, especially during the emotionally charged full moons.
