The Spring Equinox is a powerful time for growth, renewal, and new beginnings. As the day and night stand in perfect balance, this celestial event represents a reset of energies, making it the ideal day to charge and program your crystals for the intentions you wish to manifest.

Charging your crystals during the Spring Equinox strengthens their vibrational frequency, helping them work more effectively for healing, protection, abundance, love, and spiritual alignment. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best methods for cleansing, charging, and programming your crystals on this special day.
Why Charge Your Crystals on the Spring Equinox?
Spring Equinox marks the end of winter’s rest and the start of fresh energy. Just as we transition into a season of growth, our energy field also shifts, making it the perfect time to clear stagnant energy and set new intentions. Crystals are highly sensitive to cosmic shifts, and charging them on this day helps align them with the natural rhythms of renewal and expansion.
Step 1: Cleansing Your Crystals Before Charging
Before you charge your crystals, it’s crucial to cleanse them of any lingering negative energy. Here are two effective cleansing methods:
-
Running Water Method: Hold your crystals under a faucet, shower, or natural running water for 30 seconds to clear away old energy. Be careful with softer stones like Selenite and Malachite, as they can dissolve or become brittle in water.
-
Selenite Cleansing: Place your crystals on a Selenite charging plate or near a larger piece of Selenite for 30 minutes to 1 hour to absorb and neutralize negative energy.

Once cleansed, your crystals are ready to receive fresh energy from the Sun and Moon.
Step 2: Charging Your Crystals Under the Sun
The Sun represents divine masculine energy, infusing crystals with strength, vitality, and manifestation power. This method is particularly effective for stones with solar energy properties, such as Malachite, Tiger Eye, Carnelian, and Citrine.
☀️ How to Charge Your Crystals with Sunlight:
- Place your crystals outside between 11 AM - 4 PM or just before sundown.
-
Let them soak in the sunlight for at least 10 minutes but no longer than 2 hours (as prolonged exposure can cause color fading in some stones like Amethyst and Rose Quartz).
- The Spring Equinox Sun is exceptionally powerful, making this one of the best times of the year for solar charging.

Step 3: Charging Your Crystals Under the Moon
The Moon heightens the feminine aspects of crystals, enhancing intuition, creativity, and emotional healing. Moonlight is ideal for charging crystals that hold feminine energy, such as Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Moonstone, and Selenite.
🌙 How to Charge Your Crystals with Moonlight:
- Place your crystals outside in a safe spot under the moonlight.
- Use a white bowl or glass container to prevent interference with their natural energy.
- Leave them overnight for a full lunar infusion.
- For maximum balance, leave them under the sunlight for two hours the next morning to harmonize both solar and lunar energies.

Step 4: Programming Your Crystals for Your Intentions
Once your crystals are cleansed and charged, programming them helps focus their energy on your specific goals. The Spring Equinox is the best time to set intentions for abundance, love, healing, protection, and transformation.
💫 How to Program Your Crystals:
- Find a quiet space – Hold your crystal in your hands and take a few deep breaths.
- Set your intention – Think about what you want to manifest (e.g., love, protection, clarity, financial abundance).
- Speak or visualize your goal – Say your intention out loud or imagine its energy being absorbed into the crystal.
- Seal the energy – Hold the crystal to your heart or third eye and visualize it glowing with your intention.
Your crystals will now work in harmony with your energy, amplifying your vibrations and guiding you toward your desired outcome.

Once your crystals are cleansed and charged, programming them helps focus their energy on your specific goals. The Spring Equinox is the best time to set intentions for abundance, love, healing, protection, and transformation.
