Powerful Release Rituals for the Full Moon in Aries
The Full Moon in Aries is bringing an especially strong surge of powerful energy, calling for bold moves and deep release. Aries, the warrior of the zodiac, urges us to break free from anything that has been holding us back. This is the perfect time to clear emotional clutter, sever ties to past limitations, and ignite a fresh path forward.
Below are three simple but powerful release rituals you can use to harness the energy of this fiery Full Moon.
1. Burn Away What No Longer Serves You
Aries’ fire energy is perfect for symbolic releases involving fire. Write down what you want to release: old habits, limiting beliefs, or even fear of taking action. Take this paper outside under the Full Moon, (safely) light it with a match, and watch as the flames transform what no longer serves you into smoke. As the paper burns, say: “I release this from my life. I am ready for new beginnings.”
2. Physical Release Through Movement
Aries rules the body and physical action, so it’s a great time to release pent-up energy through movement. Go for a run, dance, or do an intense yoga session. As you move, focus on what you’re releasing with each step, twist, or jump. Picture the energy of Aries pushing you forward, freeing you from whatever has been keeping you stagnant.
3. Cutting the Cords Ritual
If you’ve been feeling tied to a relationship, situation, or past event, this Full Moon is a perfect time to symbolically cut those cords. Close your eyes and visualize the connection you want to release as a cord between you and the other person or situation. Hold your hands in front of you and make a cutting motion, imagining the cord being severed. Say out loud: “I cut this cord and release myself. I am free.”
Affirmation for the Full Moon in Aries:
“I embrace my courage, stand in my power, and release all that holds me back. I am ready for bold new beginnings.”
