2025 List of Full Moons for Moon Magic Rituals
- Kimberley Maya
The cycles of the moon have long been a source of inspiration and guidance, particularly for those attuned to the Divine Feminine.
Each full moon carries unique energy, qualities, and opportunities for spiritual growth.
By aligning with the moon’s phases and invoking the corresponding feminine archetypes, we can deepen our connection to intuition and empowerment.
Understanding Moon Magic
Moon magic is the practice of harnessing the energy of the moon’s phases to align with nature’s rhythms and create intentional change in your life. The moon influences the tides and our emotions, making it a powerful symbol for transformation, intuition, and release.
Each phase of the moon—from new to full—represents a different aspect of the cycle of life: beginnings, growth, culmination, and letting go. Working with the moon’s energy allows us to tap into these natural cycles for spiritual alignment and manifestation.
The full moon, in particular, embodies the completeness of a cycle, making it a profound symbol of culmination and release. In its radiant fullness, the moon illuminates both our shadows and our potential, offering clarity and a powerful moment for transformation.
This cycle mirrors the rhythms of the feminine reproductive system, with its ebbs and flows reflecting creation, gestation and renewal, symbolic of the spiritual cycles of birth, death, and rebirth, reminding us of life’s continuous flow and the sacred balance between endings and beginnings.

Invoke the Archetype -Light a candle or hold a symbolic item that represents the goddess or archetype you are connecting with. Speak their name aloud and invite their qualities to guide and empower you.
Meditation and Reflection - Spend time in quiet meditation, focusing on the moon’s energy and how it aligns with your intentions. Use a journal to explore your thoughts, insights, or emotions.
Release and Manifest - Write down what you wish to release and what you want to manifest. Burn or safely discard the paper as a symbolic gesture of letting go and inviting in new energy.
Gratitude and Closing - Close the ritual by expressing gratitude to the moon, the archetype, and yourself. Extinguish the candle, knowing your intentions have been set in motion.
