Two consecutive Capricorn full moons filled the night sky in June and July, ushering in the energy of a task-oriented worker bee. Now, we breathe in the airy vibes of full sturgeon moon in Aquarius for August. This full moon will help move the energy of the full moons in Capricorn with optimism, hope, and grace. After all, the new moon in Leo that preceded this full moon gave us a dose of confidence to continue moving forward with our goals and dreams, even if we can’t always see the path ahead.
It’s the perfect time to consider where your path is murky and what you could do to cleanse your energy and space to gain more clarity – and full moon limpias aim to do just that. Think about what you’ve been carrying around with you. Maybe it’s habits that don’t serve you, or people who drag you down instead of lifting you up. It could also be outdated romantic relationships or thankless jobs. Whatever is preventing you from true growth should be examined, and if the time is ripe, let go. These full moons give us the energy to pour into our souls in an act of rebellious self-love.
As fall approaches – this full moon marks the last before eclipse season begins – it is an optimal time to take care of yourself while leaning into the Aquarian frequency of friendliness, hopefulness, and the desire to see everyone succeed.

Spiritual Cleansing Limpia Recipe For the Full Sturgeon Moon in Aquarius
Ingredients:
- Herbs: Valerian, dill, avocado leaf
- Flowers: Orchids or irises
- Essential oils: Cedarwood, clove, and frankincense
- Crystals: Aquamarine, lapis lazuli, amethyst
- A blue candle
- Sea salt
- Florida Water
- Sage and palo santo
Ritual:
- Begin by setting intentions to cleanse your space and rid it of any negative or stagnant energy.
- Use your sage and palo santo as the carrier of your intentions by allowing the smoke to fill the corners of your room, around the window and door frames, and even around yourself. Thank the sacred herb and tree for their cleansing properties.
- Next, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
- As the water is heating up, add one cup of sea salt, three splashes of Florida Water, and several drops of essential oil and mix with a wooden spoon. Dance, sing, pray, and speak your intentions out loud. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Your voice and words carry magic.
- Next, add a few handfuls of herbs and flower petals, and mix in. Save some of the flowers for a full moon altar. When the water reaches a hard boil, lower to a low simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain.
- Allow the water to cool to your liking, and then bring the bowl to your shower or wherever you will conduct your full moon ritual.
- Create an altar using your crystals, candle, and flowers to represent your intentions. Find a special place to position your vase of flowers at a safe distance from your candle. You can surround the vase and candle with crystals, placing them intuitively. Light your candle and pray or write a list of the things you want to release under the full moon and place the list under the candle.
- After you physically clean your body, it’s time for the spiritual limpia. Gently pour the water over your body. As it flows down your body, envision it ridding you of what no longer serves you.
- If you can, allow yourself to air dry. If not, use a white or lightly colored towel to pat dry.
- Journal after your spiritual cleanse for more clarity and direction on your path.
