Practice caution with tomorrow's full moon and lunar eclipse.
If you put your crystals out to cleanse as a ritual for the full moon, please take note: the cleansing moon light will be obstructed by the darkness of the eclipse.
What effect can this have on your crystals?
Chaotic Energy such as rapid change, hidden truths, and structural collapse.
Energetic Pollution as a result of crystals absorbing surrounding vibes (turbulent, unstable energy).
It is important to know the difference of Charging vs. Cleansing: Standard full moons charge stones with light, whereas, an eclipse blocks that light, inviting shadow work instead of pure rejuvenation.
What I recommend:
1) Keep Crystals Inside. Do not place your stones outside or on windowsills where direct eclipse shadows hit them.
2) Focus on Intentions. Only cleanse stones meant for deep emotional release, breaking habits, or shadow work (like obsidian, smoky quartz, or black tourmaline). Reinforce intentions by writing down any habits, fears or patterns you wish to release.
3) Avoid Manifestation Stones. Keep wealth, luck, and manifestation crystals (like citrine, green aventurine, or pyrite) put away until the eclipse passes.
4) Post-Eclipse Reset: If your crystals accidentally catch the eclipse rays, clear them immediately using sound bowls, smoke or selenite to reset them.
