On August 9, 2025, the Sturgeon Full Moon rises in the innovative sign of Aquarius, creating a powerful cosmic moment for transformation and chakra alignment. This celestial event offers a unique opportunity to balance your energy centers while tapping into Aquarius's revolutionary spirit and the full moon's amplified manifestation power.
The Aquarian Energy: Innovation Meets Spiritual Alignment
This particular full moon is significant because of its placement in Aquarius while the sun blazes through Leo—creating a cosmic tug-of-war between individual expression and collective consciousness. Aquarius, the water bearer and humanitarian of the zodiac, brings themes of innovation, collective healing, and spiritual awakening that perfectly complement chakra work.
Since Aquarius is an air sign, speaking mantras, writing intentions, or expressing desires to the universe can be especially powerful during this time. This makes it an ideal moment to work with sound healing and affirmations for chakra balance.
How Each Chakra Responds to Aquarian Energy
Root Chakra (Muladhara) - Grounding Revolutionary Change
The Root Chakra might feel stirred during this Aquarian full moon as this air sign encourages us to break free from old patterns. Use this energy to:
Release outdated survival patterns that no longer serve you
Ground new visions for your future into practical reality
Establish a stable foundation for the changes you want to make
Full Moon Root Chakra Practice: Stand barefoot on the earth under the moonlight. Visualize red healing light entering through your feet, anchoring your dreams into the physical world while affirming: "I am safe to evolve and grow."
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) - Creative Innovation
Aquarius sparks creative genius, making this full moon perfect for activating your Sacral Chakra's creative potential:
Channel innovative ideas into artistic expression
Embrace your unique creative gifts without fear of judgment
Release creative blocks that stem from conformity pressure
Full Moon Sacral Practice: Create something entirely new under the moonlight—paint, write, dance, or craft. Let orange light fill your lower abdomen as you affirm: "My creativity flows freely and uniquely."
Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) - Personal Revolution
This full moon energy supports revolutionizing your personal brand and stepping fully into your role as a changemaker. Your Solar Plexus responds by:
Strengthening your confidence to be authentically different
Releasing the need for others' approval
Empowering you to lead positive change
Full Moon Solar Plexus Practice: Write down old identities or roles that no longer serve you. Burn the paper safely under the full moon while visualizing bright yellow light filling your core, affirming: "I confidently express my authentic power."
Heart Chakra (Anahata) - Universal Love and Connection
Aquarius rules our communities, so joining groups that embody your beliefs can be especially helpful. The Heart Chakra opens to:
Connect with like-minded souls and spiritual communities
Balance personal needs with collective service
Heal wounds around belonging and acceptance
Full Moon Heart Practice: Connect to others and make the world a better place by sending loving-kindness to your community. Visualize green light expanding from your heart to encompass all beings, affirming: "I love and serve from an open heart."
Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) - Speaking Your Truth
Aquarian energy demands authentic expression, making this perfect for Throat Chakra healing:
Speak your unique truth without fear
Share innovative ideas and visions
Release old programming about staying quiet
Full Moon Throat Practice: Under the moonlight, speak or sing your deepest truths aloud. Feel blue light clearing your throat as you affirm: "I speak my truth with clarity and courage."
Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) - Visionary Consciousness
Aquarius is the sign of the visionary, perfectly aligned with Third Eye activation:
Receive downloads about humanity's future
Trust your intuitive insights about collective healing
See beyond current limitations to future possibilities
Full Moon Third Eye Practice: Meditate under the full moon, focusing on the space between your eyebrows. Allow indigo light to illuminate your inner vision while affirming: "I see clearly the path forward for myself and humanity."
Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) - Universal Consciousness
The Aquarian full moon opens the Crown to cosmic consciousness:
Connect with universal wisdom and higher guidance
Understand your role in the collective awakening
Release ego attachments that separate you from oneness
Full Moon Crown Practice: Lie under the moonlight with the top of your head pointing toward the moon. Visualize violet light pouring down from the cosmos, connecting you to universal wisdom while affirming: "I am one with all that is."
A Complete Full Moon Chakra Balancing Ritual
Preparation (Before Moonrise)
Create a sacred space outdoors or by a window with moon visibility
Gather seven candles (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet)
Prepare a journal and pen for intentions
Have comfortable cushions or a blanket for meditation
The Ritual (During Peak Moon Energy)
The August full moon, known as the sturgeon moon, will rise on Saturday, Aug. 9, at 3:55 a.m. ET.
Opening (5 minutes) Light all seven candles and take several deep breaths. The Full Moon in Aquarius is here to heal and assist you in releasing what has felt heavy and challenging in your life.
Chakra Journey (21 minutes - 3 minutes per chakra) Starting with the Root and moving up to the Crown, spend 3 minutes with each chakra:
Light the corresponding candle
Visualize the chakra's color filling that area of your body
Speak the affirmation three times
Write any insights in your journal
Integration (10 minutes) To manifest with the Aquarius Full Moon, you can think about what you want to let go of or what you want to make room for. Write your manifestations and what you're releasing, then hold the paper up to the moonlight.
Closing (5 minutes) Thank the moon and your guides. Blow out the candles from Crown to Root, sealing in the balanced energy.
Aquarian Affirmations for Each Chakra

Sacral: "I create innovative solutions that serve the highest good"

Post-Full Moon Integration

In the days following the full moon:
Journal about any insights or visions received
Take concrete steps toward your Aquarian-inspired goals
Join or create community around your newfound clarity
