In astrology, the moon represents our unconscious and our deepest, most basic needs. When you have a strong moon, you may have better social skills and an easier time making tough decisions, especially about big life changes. If you are struggling with a weak moon, there are things you can do to make it stronger and bring more balance to your life. Read through these remedies to learn how to strengthen your moon over time.

1

Meditate every day.

Meditation helps reconnect your spiritual and physical self. Every day, sit down for at least 10 minutes and clear your head of any thoughts. Focus on your breathing, and try to connect with your inner self. The more you meditate, the more you can strengthen your moon and improve your spiritual connection with yourself.^{[1]

- If there’s a full moon happening soon, try meditating at night instead of in the morning. You’ll be able to connect with the moon more, and it could enhance your experience.

2

Do yoga a few times per week.

Yoga can connect you more to your body and mind. Try to clear your mind as much as possible before you start, and really feel everything in your body. If you do this a few times a week (or even every day), it can help strengthen your moon.^{[2]

- Many astrologers recommend doing yoga underneath the moon. If you can, wait until the evening time and try to do your yoga near a window so you can stay beneath the moonlight.

3

Repeat a mantra to yourself.

Many astrologers recommend a specific moon-mantra to strengthen your moon. Try repeating ”Om Shraam Shreem Shroum Sah Chandramase Namah” (“I bow to the Moon God whose hue resembles the hue of Curds, a conch and the color of snow”) out loud as many times a day as you would like, or while you are meditating. Repeating this mantra can help connect you to the moon and calm your mind.^{[3]

- Lord Chandra, who the chant is worshipping, is said to dress in all white. He is strongly connected to the moon and its powers, which is why this mantra is usually recommended.

4

Try donating or volunteering.

Acts of service may help offset some of the symptoms of a weak moon. Try donating your money or goods to places like homeless shelters or food banks. And, if you have time, you could volunteer in your community to give back to the people around you.^{[4]

- Astrologers note that while donation and volunteering are good, they won’t work on their own. Make sure you’re doing other things to strengthen your moon in conjunction with donations and volunteering.

5

Conserve water as much as possible.

The moon is heavily affected by water and how you use it. Throughout the day, try not to waste any water, and use what you have thoughtfully. Take short showers, drink all the water you pour into your glass, and be mindful about what you use for chores.^{[5]

- Water and water signs are generally seen as more connected to the moon than any others.

6

Wear silver.

Silver reflects the moon’s properties. Both silver and the moon are seen as reflective, connective, and sensual, which is why wearing silver jewelry may bring you closer to the moon spiritually. Try to wear at least one silver piece per day to connect you to the moon.^{[6]

Wear gemstones.

Moon crystals can help connect you to the moon even more. Ones like marcasite, labradorite, spirit quartz, moonstone, and Iceland spar may be able to help you spiritually. Try finding jewelry with these stones in it, or simply carry one or two of them on your person throughout the day.^{[8]

Obey your mother.

The mother is symbolized by the moon, so they are closely connected. If you are in conflict with your mother, you may have a tough time strengthening your moon. Try not to fight with your mom, and respect her as much as you can. Do your best to obey her wishes and strengthen your relationship with her.^{[9]

Take an herbal bath.

Herbs can counteract the effects of a weak moon. Pour a bath with cow’s milk, white sandalwood, and conch shell. You can also include crystal quartz if you have it. This type of bath can help leave a positive aura around you.^{[10]

- Many astrologers recommend taking this bath on a Monday, since Monday is the day of the moon.

Feed birds in the garden.

Keeping caged birds is generally seen as an insult to the moon. If you can, try heading out to a garden or a park and bringing some bird seed to feed the birds. The more you encourage free birds to fly in the sky around you, the more that you can strengthen your connection with the moon.^{[11]

- You might also try putting a bird-feeder in your yard to feed free birds all day long.

Place white flowers at grave plots.

White flowers are often seen as connected to the moon. If you’re passing near a cemetery or visiting a grave, bring a few white flowers along with you, like white roses or daisies. You can place these on a grave as an offering to the moon to strengthen your connection.^{[12]
