Aquarius Full Moon Rituals

1. Change the world—together

Feel like making the world a better place? (Hands raised.) Power-to-the-people Aquarius energy guides us toward activism and humanitarian missions.

No matter where you’re called to act, the 2024 Aquarius full moon brings a PSA that there’s strength in numbers. Go beyond individual effort, looking for organizations, both online and in your community, whose mission you’d like to support. Invite your social networks to get in on these meaningful acts.

2. Celebrate individuality AND togetherness simultaneously

Eccentric Aquarius has that special superpower. That might sound like a paradox, but it’s not. Shame and vulnerability expert Brené Brown uncovered this in her research: the desire to fit in is actually the main barrier to accessing a sense of belonging. In Brown’s words:

“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

Translation? Accept yourself, then be yourself. Easier said than done, but a worthy challenge to take on for an Aquarius full moon ritual.

3. Break all the rules

You put hot sauce on your dessert. You don’t believe in monogamy but you’re certain unicorns exist. Whatever. The full moon in Aquarius urges you to stop hiding the parts of yourself that might be quirky, eccentric or just not in lockstep with the people around you.

Because Aquarian energy is all about “live and let live,” try authentic sharing (without forcing your ideas on anyone else) for this Aquarius full moon ritual.

4. Connect to the aliens

Ruled by side-spinning Uranus, Aquarius is the sign of the future and all things sci-fi. It’s the forward-focused mad scientist who envisions a quirky, idealized world—or perhaps one populated by aliens and a code of radical individualism.

For this Aquarius full moon ritual, deepen your knowledge of astrology—an Aquarian theme. Head to the otherworldly zone that Aquarius loves and read theories on aliens (no judgment under this broad-minded moon!), like Bringers of the Dawn: Teachings from the Pleiadians by Barbara Marciniak. All you need is a curious, open mind.

5. Be a master of emotional objectivity

Where do you have your teeth and claws sunk in so deeply that you can’t see the forest for the trees? For this Aquarius full moon ritual, practice the Buddhist principle of non-attachment. Yes, you may WANT something with every fiber of your being. But do you understand that if it doesn’t happen, you’ll be okay?

If you think you can’t survive without a person, an outcome, or whatever you’re hooked into, this lunar light helps you release that fear. Let go, and the Aquarius full moon may bring a better long-term resolution to your issues.

6. Explore models of social change

The full moon in Aquarius creates the perfect space for a virtual workshop or a live salon. Gather your brain trust for a topic-centered discussion. You could stream a documentary or attend a talk to spark the conversation (check out what’s happening on CreativeMornings). Who knows, you may just discover your next great passion.

With the Aquarius full moon ruling the skies, the night may end with a plan for bridging the ever-growing societal divide as well. Browse for books or sites about reforming society—notions like a “gift economy” (check out Lewis Hyde’s The Gift) or author/blogger Seth Godin’s Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?, which takes a stand for art over cold industrialism. Or, in this election year, dive into understanding what creates our divides with Uncivil Agreement by Lilliana Mason, for a well-researched take on how we got here. You could then take it off the page and try the Starts With Us challenge.

7. Turn your attention to inhales and exhales

As any yogi will attest, there’s nothing more centering than a deep inhalation of oxygen (Aquarius is an air sign!)

Stress and trauma can cause shallow breathing, which, in turn, can intensify anxiety. When you find yourself in that loop, try the “4 7 8 Breathing technique” to calm yourself and even to get to sleep if you’re having difficulty entering dreamland.

8. A Rainbow & Unicorns themed al fresco meal

Aquarius loves to commune, and this lunation celebrates the spirit of social experimentation. Invite everyone in your circle from your Afropunk bohemian GF to the buttoned up babe who works in corporate sales. You’ll be surprised to see who clicks.

Host your gathering in a park or backyard BBQ style. Just be sure to have a communal table or blanket where everyone can serve themselves, pot-luck style. You might even bask in the light of the Aquarius full moon after dusk.

Don’t worry about being judicious with your guest list. Embrace “more is more” for a few hours of fun and games or sharing. Aquarius honors the world’s most colorful characters and the bright hues of the actual spectrum. Go full-on with the Rainbows & Unicorns theme. Encourage everyone to help create the spirit of the gathering. Forget about your summer whites and reach for reds, purples, oranges and neon greens. Have friends dress in ROYGBIV-colored clothes or, hey, costume-up as unicorns.

Have your treats be rainbow-colored or fantasy-themed, too. Think: cotton candy, a full-spectrum assortment of crudité, ice cream cones with rainbow sprinkles. This is why Pinterest exists!

Aquarius is the sign of social media, so be sure to document and share, and see who you entice to your next gathering!

Other, Simple Aquarius Full Moon Rituals To Try

  • Choose a documentary that you and your friends watch. Set up a time to have a salon-style discussion about it.
  • Clean up your social media profiles: delete posts and photos that don’t represent your current values, beliefs, relationships.
  • Conserve energy and “green” your home (Aquarius rules electricity). Some ideas: switch to LED bulbs, ask your electricity provider about green power, explore solar chargers for small devices, and use AC sparingly.
  • Participate in a group meditation or a yoga class to awaken your higher mind (Aquarius is associated with the third eye chakra).
