As you soak, visualize the moon’s energy cleansing your aura and attracting positive energy and good luck.
Set Intentions
Write your intentions for good luck and new beginnings on a piece of paper. What areas of your life are you hoping to become luckier in? What would that feel like? Place your intentions on a window sill under the light of the full moon to charge it with lunar energy overnight.

Use this intensity to clarify what negative feelings or thought patterns are holding you back from getting what you want and feeling lucky. You can journal about it if that’s helpful. Burn the habits you’re ready to let go of and leave the list of new, or better habits you want to embody under the moonlight to charge overnight. You can also burn bay leaves, sage, or palo santo to cleanse your energy field.
Moongazing
Simply spending time gazing at the full moon’s surface and appreciating its beauty can be a powerful symbolic act of release. The moon is perfectly suspended in space at a distance that allows us to see it and ogle at it, but not worry that it will come crashing into our planet.
