Full Moon in Aquarius August 2025 + Release Rituals

On August 9, 2025, the sky grants us one of the most intense and liberating lunations of the year: the Full Moon in Aquarius. I assure you, this moon doesn’t go unnoticed. It will move us, shake us, and above all, call us to release those old mental and emotional ties that limit us, so we can embrace our authenticity with unbreakable courage.

In this article, I want to share how this unique energy will feel, how it can impact you personally, and what liberation rituals you can practice to attune yourself to this powerful portal of transformation. Get ready for a profound reconnection with your true self.

What Does a Full Moon in Aquarius Really Mean?

Full moons, in general, represent culminations, maximum clarity, and deep liberation. They are peak points in the lunar cycle where something reaches its fullest expression or understanding, illuminating what was previously hidden.

When this powerful lunation occurs in Aquarius, the sign of freedom, the collective, innovation, and expanded consciousness, an almost irrepressible desire awakens within us to break free from structures that imprison us and to embrace our most genuine and eccentric individuality.

Aquarius doesn’t ask permission to be different; it simply is. And this lunation can ignite in you the need to say a resounding “Enough!” to everything that no longer resonates with your essence. At the same time, it invites you to sow a new way of living, one that is in perfect coherence with your highest values and your futuristic vision of yourself.

If you’ve recently felt a kind of “internal revolution,” that sense that something big is brewing, it’s because this Moon has been “cooking” slowly. And now, with its full light, it’s the perfect time to express, release, and transform everything that keeps you anchored.

Themes This Potent Full Moon Will Activate

Each Full Moon brings with it a series of energies and key questions. For this Full Moon in Aquarius, I invite you to reflect on the following themes, which will be amplified in your life:

• Radical authenticity: This is the moment to stop seeking external validation. Aquarian energy urges you to show up as you truly are, without filters or pretenses, accepting and celebrating your uniqueness.
• Emotional and mental liberation: It’s a golden opportunity to cut ties with those limiting beliefs, ingrained fears, or obsolete thought patterns that prevent you from moving forward. Imagine taking off a heavy backpack you no longer need to carry.
• Connection with your tribe (without losing individuality): Although Aquarius values personal freedom, it also governs communities and friendships. You’ll feel an impulse to connect with people who vibrate on your same wavelength, with whom you share ideals, without that meaning sacrificing your unique essence.
• Innovation and futuristic vision: This Moon opens your mind to new ideas, to different and more creative ways of living, working, and relating. It invites you to look to the future with an open mind, ready to experiment and break paradigms.

It’s a powerful time to sit with yourself and honestly ask: What version of myself am I truly ready to leave behind, and which do I dare, with all my soul, to manifest in the world?

Full Moon in Aquarius Rituals: Release and Honor Your Essence

As I always tell you, remember that ritual is not external magic, but a symbolic and very personal way to move that internal energy you already possess. The most important things are your intention, your conscious presence, and your sincere willingness to transform. Here are some rituals you can perform:

🌕 1. Salt Bath for Releasing Burdens

Get ready to let go. Fill the bathtub with warm or hot water. If you don’t have a tub, a large basin with water for your feet will work wonderfully. Add a generous handful of sea salt, a few sprigs of rosemary (for energetic cleansing), or a few drops of lavender essential oil (for calm and purification). As you immerse yourself (or your feet), visualize everything that no longer serves you—worries, fears, dense energies—dissolving in the water and being transmuted. You can repeat aloud: “I release the weight that does not belong to me. I free myself with love and gratitude.”

🌕 2. Write a Letter of Release

This is a cathartic exercise. Take paper and a pen. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted. Write without filters or censorship everything you need to release: toxic relationships, limiting beliefs about yourself, habits that hold you back, excessive self-demands, deep fears. Allow everything to flow. When you feel you have emptied your heart, take that paper and, very carefully and in a safe place (a ceramic bowl, a small outdoor bonfire if possible), burn it. As it burns, feel that energy being released. You can say aloud: “Thank you for the lesson. Today I let you go, for my highest good.”

🌕 3. Meditation for Reconnecting with Your Authentic Purpose

Find a serene space. Light a violet candle (for transmutation) or a white candle (for purity). Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Visualize a future version of yourself, one who is already living with total authenticity, love, and freedom. What does that person look like? How do they feel in their body? What do they do every day? What decisions do they make? Allow that image to fill you and inspire you. It’s your inner guide, a beacon for what’s to come. Feel that vision anchor in your heart.

🌕 4. Community Ritual (Optional)

Aquarius governs the collective and connection. If you feel inspired, you can gather some close people who are also on a path of growth (friends, family, or members of your spiritual community) and do a circle of release together. Sharing the intention as a group greatly enhances the energetic process. Even if you can’t meet physically, you can connect virtually. The essential thing here is the connection of hearts and mutual support in the release process.

Tips for Living This Full Moon with Full Consciousness

This Full Moon can be a roller coaster of emotions, bringing profound revelations, moments of brilliant clarity, and sometimes a bit of emotional chaos. All of that is part of the alchemy of transformation. Here are some tips to navigate it with greater wisdom:

• Avoid reacting impulsively: Aquarian energy can be a bit erratic. Observe your emotions and thoughts before acting. Take a breath.
• Give yourself space to feel: If you feel discomfort, frustration, or sadness when releasing something, allow yourself to feel it. Repressing it only postpones it. That sensation is also part of the release process.
• Surround yourself with your true tribe: Seek the company of people who accept you as you are, without judgment, and who celebrate your authenticity. They will be your support.
• Not everyone will understand your process: And that’s perfectly fine. You don’t need external validation. Trust your path. Remember that, even if your process is unique, you are not alone.

Trust this process. You are evolving towards a freer, more authentic, and more connected version of yourself.
