Hello Coven,
Well, if it isn’t that time of the Month again (No, not that time of the month… the other one, the lunar one) Yes, it’s a Full Moon – and this moon is called the Grain Moon, if you’re Anglo Saxon, or if you’re a Celt like myself, it’s also referred to as the Lynx Moon and/or Dispute Moon but you non-UK dwellers may know it from it’s Native American name The Sturgeon Moon. We’ve previously covered this moon here but I will do a few more posts on moon names in the future.
Tonight’s Moon will also welcome a rare and powerful celestial event: the Blue Supermoon. This extraordinary full moon graces us with combining the amplified energy of a supermoon with the rarity of a blue moon. You see what the Moon did there for us during this very hectic Mercury Retrograde?Very classy, very mindful, very demure. This potent lunar phase offers a unique opportunity for witches and spiritual seekers to harness its energy for growth, release, and transformation. Thank you Moon!

What is a Blue Supermoon?
A Blue Supermoon is a remarkable event that occurs when a full moon is both a supermoon and a blue moon…but that is a bit of a Mouthful to say so we just merge the names together like Bennifer (R.I.P).
A supermoon happens when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the night sky. It’s blooming beautiful if the sky is actually clear, and dare I say it….rather romantic. Now, as I write this the skies of London are looking rather bloody cloudy so I’m not too hopeful to get a decent view, but if you can, please enjoy!
The term “blue moon” refers to the third full moon in a season (We’re currently in Summer) that has four full moons, a rare occurrence that lends to the saying “once in a blue moon.”
Although the moon is called “blue,” don’t expect it to actually turn blue. In fact, due to the ongoing wildfires across the globe, the moon may take on a reddish hue, adding to the mystical ambiance of the night. Always keeping us guessing, huh, moon? Loves ya for that!
The Astrological Influence: Full Moon in Aquarius
Tonight’s Full Moon occurs in Aquarius, a sign known for its innovative, rebellious, and humanitarian qualities. This lunar energy encourages us to break free from old patterns, embrace new ways of thinking, and connect with our communities. With Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline, ruling Aquarius, this Full Moon is a perfect time for serious reflection on our personal boundaries and the systems we’ve built in our lives. Are they serving us, or is it time for a change?
As always here are some rituals that you can use to celebrate tonight Moon and really harness it within your practice.

Rituals to Celebrate the Blue Supermoon
- Release and Renew Ritual
The Blue Supermoon is a powerful time for letting go of what no longer serves you. Start by creating a sacred space, whether indoors with candles and crystals or outdoors under the moonlight. Write down on a piece of paper what you wish to release—habits, fears, relationships, or anything else that feels heavy. Once you’ve written everything down, safely burn the paper, visualising the smoke carrying your burdens away. As the paper turns to ash, feel the weight lift from your spirit, making space for new beginnings.
- Moon Water Creation
Harness the potent energy of the Blue Supermoon by creating moon water. Fill a glass jar (or whatever clear receptacle that you have) with fresh water and place it outside under the moonlight. You can add crystals like clear quartz or amethyst near to the water to amplify the water’s energy – but please check if you actually want to add the crystals to water as some are not water and/or human consumption Friendly. As you place the jar, set an intention for what you want this moon water to bring into your life— eg. clarity, protection, love or healing. Use this charged water to cleanse your altar, anoint yourself, drink or even water your plants to share the moon’s blessings with your surroundings.
More info on ways to use Moon Water here as I am kinda obsessed with the stuff, but that’s fine, as better to have a Moon water fixation than a crack one, eh?
- Aquarius-Inspired Meditation
Since this Full Moon is in Aquarius, focus on connecting with the air element through breathwork and meditation. Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Begin by taking deep, cleansing breaths, inhaling for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four. Visualise the energy of the Blue Supermoon filling your body with each breath, bringing insights and revelations. Allow yourself to receive any messages or visions that come through during this meditation. Afterward, journal your thoughts to capture any wisdom the moon has shared with you.
- Community Connection Ceremony
Aquarius energy is all about community and collective consciousness. Take this opportunity to gather with like-minded friends or fellow witches for a group ritual. You can collectively set intentions for the greater good, perform a group tarot reading, or simply share what you’re releasing and manifesting during this moon. If meeting in person isn’t possible, consider hosting a virtual gathering …a wee Digital Coven if you will…where everyone can connect and share their lunar experiences.
- Crystal Charging and Grid Making
The heightened energy of the Blue Supermoon makes it an excellent time to cleanse and charge your crystals. Lay them out under the moonlight, allowing them to soak up the moon’s vibrations. You can also create a crystal grid with stones that correspond to your intentions for this lunar cycle. Use stones like selenite for clarity, rose quartz for love, or black tourmaline for protection. Arrange them in a pattern that resonates with you, and place your written intentions in the centre of the grid to amplify your manifestations.
6. Update That Vision Board, Babes!
The innovative and forward-thinking energy of Aquarius makes this Full Moon an ideal time to create a vision board. Gather images, words, and symbols that resonate with your aspirations and goals. Whether you prefer a physical board with magazine cutouts or a digital version using apps, focus on the dreams you wish to manifest in the coming months. As you arrange your vision board, infuse it with the powerful intentions you set during your other Full Moon rituals. Place it somewhere you’ll see it regularly to keep your goals front and centre in your daily life.
7. Journaling for Reflection and Manifestation
Journaling under the Blue Supermoon is a potent way to channel its energy into personal growth and manifestation. Start by reflecting on the themes of the Aquarius Full Moon: innovation, community, and breaking free from old patterns. Ask yourself questions like, “What outdated beliefs am I ready to release?” and “How can I contribute to my community in a meaningful way?”
Once you’ve explored these reflections, shift your focus to manifestation. Write down your goals and dreams in detail, using the present tense as if they are already happening. For example, “I am confidently embracing new opportunities that align with my true self.” The act of writing solidifies your intentions, making it easier for you to attract these experiences into your life.
I’ll share an example of mine too: I’m going to push through my mental health wobbles and anxiety by updating Digital Coven more as well as making more online content on Social Media. Even though it’s scary annnnd I feel like I’m screaming into the void sometimes…If it’s making me nervous but also excited then it’s work worth doing…right? What are you going to do?

Reflecting on the Blue Supermoon’s Energy
As you partake in these rituals, take time to reflect on the significance of this rare Blue Supermoon. What old patterns are you ready to release? How can you embrace change and innovation in your life? Aquarius energy invites us to step outside our comfort zones and envision a brighter future, not just for ourselves, but for the world around us. Community and unity have certainly been the themes of this year as we had Pluto FINALLY leave Capricorn and enter Aquarius.
This Blue Supermoon is a cosmic reminder that transformation is always within reach, even in the most unexpected moments. Use tonight’s energy to realign with your highest self, let go of the past, and step boldly into the future….We’ve got this, even if the world does seem a bit overwhelming and crazy at times!
