A Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse is one of the most powerful celestial events, signaling deep transformation, endings, and karmic shifts. Unlike a typical full moon, which is often a time for manifestation and culmination, a Blood Moon is more about release, reflection, and allowing the universe to realign your path.
If you’ve been feeling an intense energy shift leading up to the eclipse, this is why—eclipses stir up our deepest emotions and push us toward necessary growth.
How to Work with Blood Moon Energy Spiritually
Since a Blood Moon Eclipse is about transformation and realignment, your spiritual practice should focus on release, protection, and clarity rather than active manifestation. Here are some rituals to help harness the energy:
Write & Burn Release Letters – Write down anything you need to let go of (old habits, toxic relationships, limiting beliefs). Safely burn the paper to symbolize release.
Take a Spiritual Cleansing Bath – Use herbs like rosemary, hyssop, or Florida Water to purify your energy.
Shadow Work & Journaling – Reflect on patterns and cycles that keep repeating in your life. What lessons are trying to come through?
Cleansing Your Space – Use smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo, or incense) to clear your home of stagnant or heavy energy.
Meditate for Clarity – Sit with your thoughts, allowing insights about your next steps to come naturally.
What NOT to Do During a Blood Moon
Eclipses are chaotic by nature, and their energy is unpredictable. Because of this, heavy manifestation work is not advised during a Blood Moon. This isn’t the time to set new intentions or start fresh projects. Instead, focus on clearing the way for what’s already in motion. Let the universe guide the shifts rather than trying to force new beginnings.
