Wear white or silver clothes.

  1. White contains every color within it, but it also represents simplicity, good virtue, and deep spirituality. Wear white or silver clothing throughout the week and especially on Mondays (the Moon’s day) to harness the benefic powers of the Moon and improve your peace of mind. [1]
    • Wearing black or other dark colors will have the opposite effect on the Moon’s energy, so stick to whites and brights when you’re planning your outfits.
    • Transparent shades of bluish-white actually represent the planet Venus. Wear pure shades of white (like cloud-white or snow-white) to make sure you’re channeling the Moon specifically.

Wear pearl, moonstone, or silver jewelry.

  1. Pearls are considered to be the gemstone of the Moon, while moonstone is strongly associated with the Moon’s energies. Wear a natural pearl or moonstone set in silver to enhance mental clarity, restore emotional balance, and enhance the beneficial influence of the Moon on your life. [2]
    • You can also wear a pearl set in a silver ring on your index or ring finger to encourage good fortune and wealth. [3]
    • Silver is the metal of the Moon. If you don’t own any pearls, put on any silver jewelry or accessories for good luck. [4]

Drink water and milk from silver vessels.

  1. Drink them from silver cups—made from the metal of the moon—for good luck and prosperity. A glass of milk before bedtime may also bring you calming thoughts and a night of good sleep. [5] Consider adding turmeric and almond oil to warm milk before bedtime—this nighttime ritual is thought to nurture the Moon’s energy to provide a tranquil and restful mind. [6]

  1. To potentially rid yourself of the negative effects of a weak Moon, donate white things like milk, sugar, rice, candy, pearls, silver, clothes, flowers, or sandalwood to those in need. Give your gifts in the evening when the Moon is its strongest. [8]
    • Make your donations more powerful by giving on Mondays (aka the day of the Moon!).
    • If you’re donating to a spiritual or religious place, give white clothes or a silver idol to bring the Moon’s energy into the temple. [9]
    • To remedy a personal problem caused by an afflicted (malefic) Moon, donate white rice to charity in an amount equal to your own weight. [10]

  1. So, you may want to further enhance the positive influence of the Moon on your life by engaging in charitable acts involving these divinely feminine causes. For instance, you might volunteer at a women’s shelter, advocate for reproductive rights, host a Mother’s Day event, or organize a food drive for single mothers in your community.
7

Place peacock feathers around your home.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Peacock feathers are known as a symbol of transformation, so it makes sense that they would connect to the Moon —an astrological planet that’s thought to govern the changing “emotions and moods that rule the mind,” according to psychic astrologer Stina Garbis. Place peacock feathers in your living space to attract positive energy and bring good luck. [11]

Eat a diet full of fresh, plant-based foods.

PDF download Download Article
  1. To please the Moon, center your meals around the vegetables, fruits, and salads it helps grow. Focus on fresh, natural food that has been touched by the Moon’s light and not pre-packaged or processed products. Eat cold or frozen foods during the daytime when the Moon is not out.
9

Do a fast on Mondays.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Fast on the Moon’s day (Monday) for good luck, especially if there will be a full moon that night. [12] Only eat at nighttime or in the early morning before the sun rises, and drink lots of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. Break the fast by eating a white dish like kheer (a type of pudding made from milk, rice, and sugar). [13]
    • If you have to eat something during the daytime, make sure it is a white food (but no salt).
    • Do not fast without the advice of a healthcare professional. Fasting may negatively impact the health of some individuals, so it’s best to consult a doctor before trying this approach. No one with a history of disordered or restrictive eating should attempt a fast.

Chant a Moon Mantra.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Chant the Moon Mantra, “om shram shreem sah chandermase namah” 108 times to balance your inner emotions and minimize your fears and phobias. [14] Speak the mantra while you have a full view of the Moon, while you meditate, or while you put on white clothes or a pearl ring to maximize the effects. [15]
11

Bathe in the moonlight.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Otherwise known as “moon bathing,” Chandra Darshan requires you to undress and stand outside under the New Moon. This practice originates in Vedic traditions, and believers argue that moon bathing allows for the soothing energies of the moon to enter your being and provide emotional healing. [16]
    • Alternatively, you can take a moon bath by blending moon water into your bath water. Make moon water by placing a bowl of room temperature water under the moonlight and letting it sit overnight.

Meditate in the moonlight.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Both the Moon and meditative practices may bring you peace of mind and soothe turbulent or negative emotions, especially when you add in some deep breathing practices . Meditate in the moonlight or in a space where you have a clear view of the Moon to remedy loneliness, depression, or sleeping problems. Regular practice is most likely to bring you the best results. [17]
    • Meditate in silence, or try chanting a Moon Mantra or a prayer to Lord Shiva for the strongest connection to the Moon.
    • Reflect on your emotional needs while you meditate as a form of self-care. As Garbis explains, the Moon “reveals your innermost feelings and emotions” and may help you find balance and solutions to any inner turmoil.
    • If meditation isn’t really your thing, try to cultivate other reflective practices that help you to introspect, set intentions , and release emotional baggage. For example, you might try journaling or lunar yoga.
13

Respect your maternal figures.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Treat your mother or other maternal figures with respect and follow their wishes and advice if you feel symptoms of a weak Moon. [18] Disobeying or arguing with these women will cause more bad luck. Show the Moon your good relationship by sitting with your mother or maternal mentor during purnamasi (a full moon) and chanting a Moon Mantra or a prayer to Shiva together. [19]
    • If you’re dining together, eat with your own hands. Bad luck will follow if you let your mother or maternal figure feed you instead of accepting the Moon’s nourishing food directly.

Praise Lord Shiva.

PDF download Download Article
  1. Offer prayers to Lord Shiva , especially in direct moonlight or during a full moon, to earn both his and the Moon’s blessings. For help overcoming specific obstacles in your life, recite the Shiv Chalisa (a hymn dedicated to Shiva) while focusing on the problem you want to solve. [20]
    • To strengthen your Shiv Chalisa, look at a picture of Shiva while you speak and try to be as focused and sincere as possible.
    Donna Cunningham, Astrologer
