Full Moon in Capricorn July 21, 2024 - Candle Ritual for Letting Go of the Past

The Full Moon in Capricorn on July 21st is a powerful time to release the past and embrace change. As the moon illuminates the determined and disciplined sign of Capricorn, it encourages us to let go of rigid expectations and the need for control. This is the perfect moment to reflect on old habits and beliefs that no longer serve us and to make room for new growth and self-care.

By harnessing the energy of this Full Moon, we can free ourselves from unresolved anger, material attachments, and self-doubt, making way for balance and joy in our lives.

Candle Ritual for Letting Go of the Past

To make the most of this transformative period, try this simple candle ritual designed to help you let go of the past. You can use the Let it Go (Full Moon) Astro Magic, Reversing Aunt Jacki’s Hoodoo, or Poof! Wicked Witch Mojo candles, depending on which one resonates with your intentions. You will also need a bowl of cold water

Step 1: Center Yourself

Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Light your chosen candle and sit comfortably in front of it. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths to center yourself. Focus on the flame and think about what you need to release from your past. Visualize these past experiences or feelings as heavy chains that are holding you back. When you feel ready, state your intention aloud, such as, “I release the past and open myself to new growth and possibilities under this Full Moon.”

Step 2: Purify and Release

Prepare a bowl of water and place it beside your candle. Dip your hands into the water and feel its coolness purifying your energy. As you do this, imagine the water washing away all negative emotions, unresolved anger, and self-doubt. Say, “I cleanse myself of the past and release all that no longer serves me.” Envision the water absorbing all your burdens and turning dark with the released energy. Once you feel cleansed, pour the water outside onto the earth, symbolizing the release and grounding of these energies.

Step 3: Welcome Positive Change

Shift your focus to the positive changes and qualities you want to embrace. Hold your hands over your heart and say, “I welcome growth and joy into my life.” Visualize these positive changes filling your heart and mind. Spend a few moments meditating on these new intentions while the candle burns. Imagine yourself surrounded by light and warmth, empowered and ready to embrace the future. Once you feel the ritual is complete, safely extinguish the candle.

Performing this ritual during the Full Moon in Capricorn allows you to harness the lunar energy to let go of the past and create space for a balanced and joyful future. Embrace this opportunity to trust in your abilities and focus on what truly brings you happiness and growth.
