Well+Good spoke with New York Times bestselling author and astrologer Chani Nicholas about using moon water to boost your wellbeing. Nicholas warned that not all full moons are created equal. In fact, some should supposedly be avoided when making moon water.

"Each full moon has its own unique properties, some you may want to harness, some you absolutely do not," Nicholas said. "Only an astrologer can tell you which is good to work with, but as a general rule, eclipses are absolutely not moons you want to harness the energy of. Eclipses cast shadows, revealing to us what lurks there, usually revealing things that are toxic or in need of cleansing. We want to work with eclipses in ways that help us gently remove impurities from our system," Nicholas explained. 

Chugging a glass of solar or lunar eclipse elixir is apparently not a great strategy, but as long as a shadow doesn't cover the moon during its zenith, it's reportedly okay to use the celestial body's energy to create your supercharged liquid. Proponents say the water will still charge even if it's a cloudy night, but it might not be as powerful. A gibbous moon also works in a pinch. "Whichever phase you choose, check which zodiac sign the Moon is in, because this will affect the energy of the water," reports Cosmopolitan.
