Greetings, beloved soul!

Purpose: This ritual is designed to help you harness the potent energies of the Full Moon in Aquarius for radical transformation, future preparation, and deepening your connections. The focus will be on embracing bold changes with courage while balancing your personal freedom with collective responsibility.

Materials Needed:
- Full Moon Candle (preferably an August monthly candle, white or light blue, symbolising clarity, protection, and higher consciousness)
- Matches or lighter
- Small journal and pen
- Cleansing tool (e.g., sage, palo santo, or a cleansing spray)
- A bowl of water (symbolising the element of Aquarius)
- Crystals (suggested: Amethyst for intuition, Clear Quartz for clarity, Aquamarine for courage)
- Soft blanket or comfortable seating area
- Soft background music or ocean waves audio (optional)
This flow helps to cleanse and release the mind, body, and spirit while realigning you with your true path and strengthening your self-worth, creativity, and inner wisdom. The power of the Aquarius full moon, combined with your candles and crystals, supports your transformation and liberation into a life lived in alignment with your highest self.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Space
- Begin by cleansing your space using your chosen tool (sage, palo santo, or a spray). As you cleanse, say aloud:
*"I release any energies that no longer serve me. I create space for new growth, for clarity, and for connection."*
- Walk around your space in a circular motion, envisioning the cleansing smoke or mist dissolving all old and stagnant energies.

Step 2: Set Intentions
- Sit comfortably in your prepared area. Hold the candle in your hands and close your eyes. Breathe deeply, feeling the flow of air moving through your body.
- With each breath, visualise golden light swirling around you, filling any crevices of doubt or fear. This light carries the energy of the Full Moon, illuminating your path forward.
- When you feel centred, whisper your intentions for the ritual aloud. Use the following prompts:

Radical Change:
*"I release outdated beliefs and patterns that no longer serve me. I welcome the changes that the universe is guiding me toward, knowing that I am safe and supported."*

Preparing for the Future:
*"I plant the seeds of success, love, and abundance today. My actions now prepare me for a future filled with happiness and prosperity."*

Community and Connection:
*"I deepen my connections with others. Through collaboration and unity, I strengthen the bonds that uplift and sustain my community."*

Balancing Personal Freedom and Collective Responsibility:
*"I honour my personal freedom while contributing to the collective good. I find balance between my individual desires and the needs of my community."*

Courageous Action:
*"I take bold steps towards my dreams. I trust that the universe supports my courage, guiding me to where I need to be."*

Step 3: Light the Candle
- As you light the candle, imagine it as a beacon of light, connecting you to the energy of the Full Moon. See it as a symbol of your inner flame, burning brightly with determination and wisdom.

Step 4: Visualisation
Using the content from the earlier visualisation exercise, guide yourself through the following:
1. Envision the Shell:
Imagine you are enveloped in a soft, protective shell that feels safe and secure, much like the oyster shell visualisation from the text. Let this shell represent the nurturing environment of your soul, protecting your energy as you prepare for radical change. Feel the opalescent glow wrap around you as a cocoon of healing light.
2. Ocean Waves:
Hear the soft rush of ocean waves echoing through your being, clearing away old beliefs and patterns. With each wave, envision outdated thoughts and behaviours dissolving into the vastness of the ocean. As the waves retreat, they carry these limiting beliefs away, leaving you with clarity and renewed strength.
3. Golden Light Whirlpool:
Breathe deeply, allowing golden, healing light to fill your entire headspace. See it swirling in a whirlpool of energy, collecting anything inconsistent with your life's purpose—stress, worry, lack of boundaries. Watch as these things funnel out of you with each exhale, replaced by clarity and love.
3. The Universe and You:
Now, imagine your consciousness expanding beyond your body. You are not just yourself; you are the ocean, the earth, the stars, the universe. The Full Moon energy reminds you that you are limitless. The salt of the ocean grounds you to the earth, while the stars remind you of your infinite potential.

Step 5: Journaling
- Open your journal and reflect on the following prompts:
1. *What outdated beliefs am I releasing under this Full Moon?*
2. *What seeds am I planting today for my future success?*
3. *How can I deepen my connections within my community?*
4. *In what ways can I contribute to the collective while still honouring my personal desires?*
5. *What bold step will I take towards my dreams this week?*
- As you write, allow the candle's flame to inspire your words. Let the energy flow without judgement, and release any blockages onto the page.

Step 6: Closing the Ritual
- When you are ready, gently blow out the candle, thanking it for its light and energy.
- Wrap yourself in a blanket and sit in silence for a few moments, feeling the energy you’ve created within and around you. Whisper:
*"I am safe, I am free, and I am moving gracefully with the flow of life."*
- Allow yourself to stay in this calm space as long as you need, integrating the shifts and changes you have invited into your life.
- End by sipping some water, symbolising the flow of life and the blessings of Aquarius, nurturing you in the present and preparing you for the future.
