Aquarius Full Moon Spell
It’s time for the last Super Moon of the year. Landing in the transformational and quirky sign of Aquarius, this Moon wants you to embrace your whole self, quirks and all. It is calling you to accept of yourself and others, while still encouraging you to find the power to call out for the change you want to see for the world. Aquarius is known as the sign of humanity and wants to see change for the greater good.
This is an intense moon so take time to cleanse and release, to thank the last few months for lessons it may have taught you, for challenges you have overcome and for ambitions you are excited to achieve.
To make the most of these special moon beams we’ve created a cleansing and releasing spell guide for you to follow.
Get yourself ready for magick making.

As Aquarius embraces the individual, but celebrates the collective, it might be an idea to invite a group of friends to share in this ritual spell with you. Sociable Aquarius loves to gather in circles, sharing innovative ideas and think about the future. As we also have a Leo Sun right now, encourage your circle to go for it, be expressive: think sequin capes and headwear or clothing that makes you feel special and like your unique self.
Take yourself to a place that is special to you, or provides you with a different perspective. This full moon brings with it a lot of change, so it might be an idea to be somewhere else, away from routine. In magick the element of water can be used for releasing and cleansing, so try to be near your closest body of water whatever that might be. If that is not accessible for you, you can close your eyes for a few moments and visualise a lake, river or the ocean and feel the ions of the moving water as if they were cleansing you of feelings that are holding you back, releasing you to propel you forward.
The spell
As Aquarius is associated with the element of air, take a few deep cleansing breaths, with each out breath imagine yourself lighter, freer, letting go, with each in breath imagine yourself becoming stronger, more powerful, kinder to yourself.
Words to let go
Take some time to write down the key things you want to let go of, these could be limiting beliefs that are holding you back from being your true self or residue feelings from past relationships.
Next to the words of the of things you most wish to let go, write down something positive you would like to welcome in to your life, for example “I put myself first”.
As you close this practice, write one new positive affirmation that you would like to wish for the world around you. When we do good for others, we do good for ourselves.
Take some time in quiet reflection. When you are ready, take some time to vocalise what it is you would like to let go of this full moon. If you feel confident, shout out and tell the world. If shooting from the roof top isn’t for you, this could be done through writing, or through recording yourself a voice memo. If you choose to do this spell with a group, encourage each person to share what it is they would like to release. Words are spells and when we speak out what it is we really want, or don’t want, we give them power to become reality.
Use the mantra “I am ready to let go of ______. I am free to move forward”
Candle Magick
Light the candle. If you want to connect the spell to what you want to call in, you can also burn a
specific colour, see below for different candle colours and the magickal meanings.
Red = love
Pink = romance
White = peace
Green = financial abundance
Blue = wisdom and communication
Black = protection
Yellow = joy
Orange - ambition and luck
White candles can also be substituted for any other colour if you don’t have the candle colour you’d like to use.
Take your time to burn your “words to let go” in the candle’s flame, collecting the ash of the words in a heat proof dish, cauldron or bowl. In magick when you use the element of fire you are igniting your wishes and giving them the spark to happen quickly. When you use the element of earth, you are giving the intention, or thing you are wishing for, longevity, so if you want something lasting to happen quickly, we recommend burying the ashes into the earth.
The jar of water can act as a wishing well, and can extinguish any flames if needed. Take this water home with you, this water has been infused with your intentions and the lunar rays of the full moon. Use this water at dawn, perhaps to water plants, as a symbol of renewed growth and new beginnings to seal this cleansing letting go spell.
