Mixing astrology with beauty and care routines has become commonplace in recent years. So much so that a new and rather unusual trend began to bubble up on TikTok: moon water. And, no, it has nothing to do with consuming water that possibly came from the moon, but taking advantage of the moon’s phases for a new self-care ritual.
Basically, moon water is a portion of distilled water that has been exposed to the light of the moon (preferably the full moon), in order to supposedly absorb its vibration and help in contact with emotions and deep sensations. According to North American Allure, moon water also has restorative and healing powers when it comes to our spiritual energy.
Think of solar panels, for example. They “accumulate” particles of solar energy to generate electrical energy. The same happens with particles (or crystals) that are placed under the light of the moon. Have you ever heard of crystals that only re-energize at night, when the moon is high and bright? So, the idea is the same: water, in theory, absorbs these energetic particles, that is, it accumulates a “charge” of lunar energy.
According to astrology scholars, lunar water is an ancient practice, very common among ancient alchemists and has been used in beauty and wellness rituals for centuries. The moon is said to have “feminine” energy (totally unrelated to gender, but with energetic charges), while the sun emanates “masculine” energy. Therefore, just as sunbathing is beneficial for health, many believe that the same is true for the “light” of the moon.
Scientifically speaking, however, there is no evidence that lunar energy actually causes any effect on the human body, even if it “takes” water. Anyway, keeping your body hydrated is always very positive, so whether it’s lunar water or the normal water from your filter, don’t forget to consume the right amount for your biotype during the day.
“There is no scientific evidence that water energized by the moon or crystals has any difference from pure water, but naturalists talk about the energy of the moon or crystals could benefit energetically both to tone the skin or to drink”, explains dermatologist Dr. Maria Paula Del Nero.

Still, if you’re on the team that believes in small rituals and understands the world also from spiritual aspects, rituals like this one might be welcome. “The moon controls ocean tides, and we are made up of 60% water,” Lisa Stardust, astrologer and author of “The Saturn Return Survival Guide,” tells Allure. “That means the moon has a huge effect on all of us. Therefore, anyone can and should use moon water.” For her, rituals like this are important to carry out spiritual hygiene, cleaning our energetic version of what no longer serves us.
Therefore, the recommendation is to make moon water during the full moon, which, according to the astrologer, helps to release unnecessary energies and loads, to look deeply inside and make room for the new. However, it is worth avoiding eclipses, which have a potentiating power of lunar energies.
To make your dose of lunar water, you need:
From a clean glass or bottle;
Water (can be from the filter, from a bottle bought in the market, etc.);
An incense.
The idea is to “clean” the glass or bottle with the smoke from the incense, fill the container with water and place it in the window or outside (if you have a balcony) to absorb the moonlight. It is worth, according to Stardust, to put a label with the date and the planet where the Moon is at that moment. For example, if the Moon is in Sagittarius, it can be used to enhance states of animation or excitement. If in Virgo, it enhances healing powers. That way, you can use your water according to your intention.
It is even possible to add edible flowers or leaves or crystals to the water to further help with the intention you seek. For example, roses help with love (including self-love), and amethyst stone helps to develop intuition.

The uses of this water are many. The main form is for spiritual cleansing baths, but it can also be used to water plants, in beauty rituals (as in a facial spray), to take care of the environment, even to clean the floor. The main thing is to keep the intention in mind and use your water accordingly.
