Embrace Your Inner Weirdo Candle Ritual for the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19, 2024

The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 19, 2024, is your cosmic cue to embrace your uniqueness and let go of any limiting beliefs holding you back. This is a time to celebrate your quirks, release mental and physical clutter, and create space for new, wild ideas. Aquarius energy encourages us to be our authentic selves, connect with like-minded individuals, and think outside the box. Use this powerful Full Moon to break free from societal expectations and shine your eccentric light brightly.

In this ritual, we'll be working with the candles "Let it Go!" (Full Moon – Astro Magic), "Everything and then Some" (Wicked Witch Mojo), and "Crown of Success" (Aunt Jacki’s Hoodoo). Choose the candle that resonates most with you as you perform the following steps to embrace your true self and release those pesky limiting beliefs.

Step 1: Ignite Your Inner Weirdo

What You’ll Need: Your candle, a mirror, and some fun accessories (hats, scarves, jewelry).

1. Set the Scene: Place the candle in between you and a mirror. Light your candle and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Turn on your favorite music, but keep it at a lower volume.
2. Get Dressed Up: Put on your fun accessories or favorite outfit. This is about embracing your authentic self (no matter how “weird”) and feeling free to express yourself.
3. Mirror Time: Stand or sit in front of the mirror and look deeply into your own eyes. Say out loud, "I embrace my uniqueness and celebrate my individuality." Repeat this until you feel a sense of pride and joy in your reflection. Dance to your music if you are feeling stagnant. 

Step 2: Unplug and Reconnect

What You’ll Need: A bowl of water, a pinch of lavender (or any calming herb), and a small crystal (suggested: rose quartz, citrine, or tiger’s eye).

1. Prepare the Water: Mix the lavender into the bowl of water. Lavender is known for its calming properties and will help soothe your mind.
2. Disconnect: Unplug from all tech devices for the duration of this ritual. Let go of any digital distractions that might be bogging you down.
3. Reconnect with Nature: Hold the crystal in your hand and sit quietly. Reflect on how you can better connect with people who understand and appreciate your quirks. Imagine yourself surrounded by a supportive community that celebrates you.

Step 3: Release the Old, Welcome the New

What You’ll Need: A small cardboard box or jewelry box, a piece of paper, and a pen.

1. Write it Down: On the piece of paper, write down any limiting beliefs or old habits that you want to release. Be honest and thorough.
2. Seal the Deal: Fold the paper and place it in the small box. Close the box tightly, symbolizing your intention to let go of these limitations.
3. Bury the Past: Find a safe place to bury the box outside, symbolizing the release of these old beliefs back to the earth.

Step 4: Celebrate Your Achievements

What You’ll Need: Your candle, a journal, and a pen.

1. Reflect on Your Journey: Sit comfortably with your journal and reflect on your life. Think about the challenges you’ve overcome and the strengths you’ve discovered along the way.
2. Write a Letter of Admiration: Write a heartfelt letter to yourself, acknowledging your achievements, strengths, and the unique qualities that make you who you are. Celebrate your journey and express gratitude for your resilience and growth. If anyone has been a supportive figure in your life, give them a shout out.
3. Seal it with Love: Once you’ve finished, fold the letter and keep it somewhere safe. This letter is a testament to your self-love and a reminder of your commitment to embracing yourself fully.

This ritual allows you to harness the transformative energy of the Full Moon in Aquarius by releasing limiting beliefs and celebrating your unique self. Embrace your individuality, connect with your inner rebel, and let go of what no longer serves you. Remember, you are worthy of love, success, and all the wonderful things life has to offer.
