A Spell to Align With Your Life Path

Use this simple spell to align with your life path, strengthen your sense of purpose, and create flow between your work, gifts, and true self.

Your life path isn’t just what you do for money—it’s the deeper current that carries you toward meaning, vitality, and self-expression.

While “career” often implies productivity and profit, your life path is about alignment. It’s about showing up as your truest self, doing work that energizes rather than depletes you, and offering your natural gifts in a way that feels alive and authentic. Money and success can certainly follow—but they’re side effects, not the source.

This simple spell is designed to help you lock into that current. To strengthen your connection to purpose, restore a sense of flow, and gently guide you back onto the path that actually feels like yours.

You Will Need

• A moonstone (a simple crystal or a piece of jewelry)
• A small notebook and a pen

Step 1: Prepare

When the moon is new (or for up to a week after the new moon), cleanse the moonstone in bright sunlight or sage smoke. With ingredients in tow, visit a natural body of water. Sit or stand comfortably in front of it, gazing at it as you take some deep breaths, relax your body, and center your mind.

Step 2: Align with Water

When you feel centered, begin to mentally and energetically align your being with the water. Feel that you are the water. Imagine that you are fluid, and that you allow yourself to flow and inhabit your life in a way that feels natural to you.

Next, take the moonstone to the water and dunk it in. Hold it under for a moment to attune to the water’s frequency. When it’s still wet, lightly touch it to your forehead, heart, and belly. Then wear it or put it in your pocket, and keep it with you for the next 28 days (one full moon cycle).

Step 3: Record Your Impressions

Also keep the notebook and pen with you at all times (even keeping them close while you sleep) for the next 28 days. During that time, record anything that ignites your sense of inspiration, joy, excitement, or expansiveness. It could a phrase, an activity, a possibility, a country, a tradition, or something beautiful you experience, such as a hummingbird, the sound of wind chimes, or the scent of pavement after it rains.

Step 4: Integrate and Make a Plan

Return to the natural body of water at the following new moon (or roughly 29 days later), again with your notebook, pen, and moonstone. Sit comfortably and center yourself. Align with the water. Then look through your notes. What patterns do you recognize? How might these things fit together? What do they have in common?

Whether or not you find answers to these questions, you will indeed be able to answer this one: What one step in life feels the most exciting and expansive to you now? It may or may not seem to be career-related. It could be moving to a new city or starting a brand new health and fitness regimen. It could also be embarking on a course of study, setting up a personal practice of some sort, or kicking off your artistic career.

Whatever it is, it will probably feel both thrilling and terrifying. Trust that you know what it is. Write it down. Then over the course of the next moon cycle, create a definitive plan for doing it, and put it into action.

Until you feel really and truly aligned with your life path, you can continue to keep your moonstone with you and/or place it prominently on your altar.
