Do I need a Full Moon to cleanse crystals?

The Full Moon is the strongest cleansing and charging window, but you can cleanse crystals any time. The calendar above shows the next Full Moon so you can plan ahead.

Which crystals shouldn't go in moonlight?

Moonlight is gentle and safe for virtually all crystals — unlike direct sunlight, which can fade stones like amethyst and rose quartz. Moonlight is the safer default.

What does the Moon's sign mean for my crystals?

The sign colours the Moon's energy — a fiery sign favours motivation work, a water sign favours emotional release. Today's sign and its energy are shown in the hero above.

Do I need an account to use the Lunar Calendar?

No. The full calendar, guide, and crystal recommendations are free and open. An account simply lets us email you a reminder before each Full Moon charging window.

Practical guide

How to charge & cleanse crystals by Moon phase

A simple four-step rhythm you can follow every lunar cycle.

01
New Moon — set the intention
Hold each crystal, name what you want to call in this cycle, and let that intention settle into the stone.
02
Waxing Moon — work with them
Keep your crystals close as the Moon grows — carry, wear, or place them where you'll see them daily.
03
Full Moon — cleanse & charge
Rinse off the cycle's energy, then leave the stones on a windowsill or outside overnight under the Full Moon.
04
Waning Moon — release & rest
Let go of what didn't serve you and give your crystals a quiet pause before the next New Moon.
