The first full moon of 2025 takes place in Cancer, illuminating the skies on January 13, 2025 with its enchanting glow and Cancer’s emotional energies. This special full moon provides a powerful opportunity for cleansing, intuitive awareness, and inner renewal.
The Effects of the Cancer Full Moon
Under the influence of Cancer, this full moon emphasizes emotional depth and heightened intuition. Governed by the Moon itself, Cancer encourages themes of confronting the past, releasing emotional burdens, and moving forward with hope.
The energy of the full moon supports not just mental clarity but also physical and spiritual balance. This makes it the perfect time for cleansing rituals and moments of self-reflection.
Shower Ritual for the Cancer Full Moon
What You’ll Need:
- Sea salt or Himalayan salt (approximately 1 tablespoon of sea salt)
- Liter of water
- A few drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
- A crystal like moonstone or aquamarine to keep nearby during your shower (optional)
Why Use Sea Salt?
Sea salt carries the energy of the water element, as it comes directly from the ocean. It harmonizes perfectly with full moon rituals and helps you connect more deeply with Cancer’s water and lunar energy.

- Choose the right time for your ritual: on the full moon night or within 3 days after the full moon.
- Prepare Your Cleansing Water:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt into a liter of water.
- Add a few drops of lavender oil if desired. This will be your cleansing water during the ritual.
- Set Your Intention:
- Before stepping into the shower, take a moment to breathe deeply and silently set this intention:
“With the energy of the full moon, I release all negativity. I am reborn, refreshed, and ready for a new beginning.”
- Before stepping into the shower, take a moment to breathe deeply and silently set this intention:
- The Ritual:
- Stand Under the Water: Visualize the water washing away all negative energy from your body and mind.
- Use the Saltwater: Gently pour the prepared saltwater over your head during the shower. As you do, repeat affirmations like:
“The light of the full moon surrounds me, cleansing my mind and body. As the water flows over me, all heaviness and burdens are released. My cells vibrate with new life and energy.” - Renew Your Energy: Finally, imagine the rinse water carrying fresh energy to you, filling you with the healing light of the full moon.
