Put out water, juice, or liquor to be charged (in sealed containers ideally). Moon charged juice and liquor is excellent for holiday cocktails!
Divination: Tarot, runes, scrying, shufflemancy, whatever you feel! It’s especially a good time to test out a new divination style you’ve been thinking about.
Bake full moon cookies! You can either focus on mixing and baking during the full moon (mix your dough near a window or outside) or bake before the sun goes down and leave the cookies to cool and charge near a window!
Collect autumn leaves and seedlings under the full moon. Use for Samhain wishes.
Set crystals or tools out to charge on a windowsill or porch.
Bring your spirit working tools outside (skulls, bones, memento moris, powders/oils, pendulums, spirit boards, cards, etc.) and work on your spirit communication during the height of the full moon.
Tend to your garden area during the full moon (depending on the season; weeding, planting, harvesting, fertilizing, etc.)
Craft a new tool like a wand, broom, witch’s ladder, scrying mirror, etc.
Reinforce/renew your wards and property protections.
Channel full moon energy for writing, drawing, sculpting, sewing, knitting, composing, etc.
Make a cup of tea or hot chocolate and step outside or near a window with it while it cools. Offer it to the moon for charging with prosperity and health. Drink it slowly.
Enjoy the moon. Treasure the moon. Thank the moon. Love the moon. The moon knows you are a fantastic witch regardless of what others (even youself) think. The moon loves you.

I personally don’t put much stock into astrology but it is low-key fun to see how horoscopes and stuff turn out. So with January’s Full Wolf Moon coming up (Monday the 17th-Wednesday the 19th), I decided to look into an article about how the moon will affect the zodiacs. To read the full article just click H E R E.
The Wolf Moon will be in Cancer’s skyspace and this is what it has in store for you based on your zodiac sign.
Aquarius: Watch out, Aquarius. Garbis says Aquarius “may have challenges with expression of their feelings, and they may be caught in a lie.”
Pisces: January should be a lucky time for Pisces, and they might find new love, new fortune, or something else they’ve been seeking.
Aries: January looks like a struggle for Aries, but don’t give up. You may have some stumbling blocks in your personal relationships, but you can definitely get through it.
Taurus: January may be a time for creative freedom for a Taurus. “This would be a good time for Taurus to start a creative project that brings even more wealth to this naturally abundant sign,” Garbis says.
Gemini: It looks like an eye-opening month for Geminis. “This can also be a time where hidden intentions of people around them are revealed,” Garbis says, adding that miscommunication could be a big problem this month.
Cancer: January could be huge for Cancers, and Garbis says they “may experience an ‘aha’ moment where they figure out how they fit into this world.” They also may get the opportunity of a lifetime.
Leo: For Leos, January is a time of introspection. Garbis shares, “This may be a fortunate time for Leo, who may come to an understanding about their true feelings in a relationship or towards themselves.”
Virgo: Money could be at the forefront of the new year for a Virgo as they go through challenges with what they have. It might be time for a new financial project to start 2022.
Libra: The year will have a bold start for Libras, who may find themselves with a burst of creativity. According to Garbis, though, they may “suffer for their art and express pain through beauty.”
Scorpio: The beginning of the year is a time for Scorpio to find themselves by putting their own wants and needs first. It’ll start 2022 off on the right foot.
Sagittarius: January will be up and down for Sagittarius, but the low points won’t last long. Higher highs are on the horizon.
Capricorn: Those new year’s resolutions for accountability might be a good idea for Capricorns. The beginning of the year is the time to kick those bad habits and have your friends and family hold you accountable.
