Spell for August Ful Moon – Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual (August)
Sturgeon Moon is the name of August’s Full Moon.🌕 Indigenous tribes of North America knew that in August, the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes were most readily caught. The sturgeon is a very large, prehistoric-looking fish that has changed very little in over 100 million years. It is truly a “living fossil.”
Having entered the second half of the year, we begin to notice things that need to be removed. In your life, what habit would you like to see go the way of the dinosaurs? What is hindering you or holding you back?
Here is a simple candle-burning ritual for banishing a bad habit from your life with Magic. 🕯️
How does this spell work?
The time of the Sturgeon Moon 🐟 is an ideal time for getting rid of “old dinosaurs” that continue to weigh you down. This powerful moon occurs towards the end of the Summer, signaling that all seasons must come to an end.
Black is a color that dissolves negative energies. The black candle 🖤 will assist you in truly getting rid of whatever is holding you back from becoming your best Self.
When you banish something from your life, it leaves a gap in your daily routine. It is therefore essential to fill the space left by the banished behavior with a conscious intention. The strength of the Full Moon 🌕 will lend power to a positive statement, to help give you the Will to create your new reality.
The best day for this ritual is a Tuesday but you can do this spell on any of the three nights in August when the Moon is full.
Before you begin, make sure you have set an intention for this ritual. It can be anything from quitting smoking / snacking / social media, to severing an unhealthy relationship. This is the time to be bold, clear, and strong in your determination.
Full Sturgeon Moon Magic Ritual
Full Moon banishing ritual with the strength and magic of the Sturgeon Moon (August). This spell of positive witchcraft can help you get rid of a bad habit.
Ingredients
1 black candle of any size
Pen or pencil
Cauldron or fireproof container
2 strips of paper
Purifying incense (lavender, cinnamon, sage, palo santo, rosemary)
How to cast the spell
Light the candle and incense on your altar. Relax and take three deep breaths. As you breath out, see yourself expelling the negativity from your body and your space.
On a strip of paper, write down the habit you wish to break.
Make sure there’s an adult in the room for this part. Light the paper using the candle’s flame and quickly place it in your cauldron.
Watch the paper burn as you chant this spell:
Take the second strip of paper, and write a new description of yourself in the present tense. For example, “I am a non-smoker.”
Say the statement three times. Paste the strip of paper on your book of shadows or your journal and leave it there.
Everyday until the next Full Moon, repeat the statement when you wake up, making eye contact with yourself in a mirror. This will strengthen the spell daily.
20 August 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Southern Hemispheres
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for August 20th, 2024 is the Waning Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 15.47 days old and 99.91% illuminated with a tilt of 8.788°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,420.65 km and the moon sign is Pisces.
The Moon phase for August 20th, 2024 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).
The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.
During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

August 19, 2024 Current Moon Phase and Planetary Positions for the Northern Hemispheres
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for August 19th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase.
On this day, the moon is 14.27 days old and 98.69% illuminated with a tilt of 92.136°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 365,016.07 km and the moon sign is Aquarius.
The Moon phase for August 19th, 2024 is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).
The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.
The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.
Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.

Moon Alert
The Full Moon in Aquarius peaks at 2:26 PM EDT today (11:26 AM PDT). Avoid shopping or important decisions from 2 PM to 7:30 PM EDT today (11 AM to 4:30 PM PDT). After that, the Moon moves into Pisces.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today has its challenges. Parents should know this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Social situations might be strained. You want to break free from constraints. However, it will be wisest to sit this one out. Batten down the hatches.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a tough Full Moon-day! Family relationships, especially with parents as well bosses, will be tested. People will rebel against authority. Social situations are tricky. Therefore, handle everything with kid gloves today. Don’t make waves.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Practice patience to avoid arguments with others, especially daily contacts, siblings, relatives and neighbours. Be patient because people are on edge, ready to snap or make a big deal about something. Don’t throw your weight around.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Today is not the day to make an issue about financial matters or anything to do with your possessions. Let things go. A year from now, will any of this matter? Relations with a friend or a member of a group might upset or surprise you. Stay chill.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Full Moon today is opposite your sign and it presents challenges. Issues with parents, bosses and authority figures might come to a head. You want the freedom to call your own shots. You certainly don’t want to be dictated to, especially about financial matters. (A smile can diffuse a lot of tension.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Don’t push things with parents, bosses and authority figures today because you’ll run up against a brick wall. Instead, be accommodating and postpone as much as possible for another day, especially issues where you need cooperation, permission or approval. Just coast today.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Social situations as well as issues related to kids, finances and money are challenging today. That’s because the Full Moon and other planetary positions are difficult. Knowing this, pull back and be reasonable. However, if things are impossible – pack your bags.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don’t ask for permission or approval from authority figures, bosses, parents and the police today because people are at odds with each other. Things could blow up in your face. Knowing this ahead of time, keep your head down and your powder dry.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you because feelings are running high with many people. Issues at work might also be challenging. The thing to do is to try to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Avoid rash decisions.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Don’t get your belly in a rash about financial matters today or issues related to shared property or your possessions or anything that you own jointly with someone else. You might also be concerned about shared responsibilities. Whatever the case, stay chill and tackle these matters another day. Patience.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. It’s a particularly challenging time because other planetary factors are also tough today. Go gently when dealing with your kids or romantic partners. Most fights are just a clash of egos – but ego is pretty hard to ignore!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Take it easy when it comes to issues at work today, especially with coworkers because today’s Full Moon is challenging for everyone! Likewise, family members and something at home might also put you at odds with someone. Stay chill. The angst isn’t worth it.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Kyra Sedgwick (1965) shares your birthday today. You appear easy-going and smooth; however, beneath this mask is a serious person. You are careful about what you reveal. This year is a marvellous time for you because you will reap the benefits of your hard work! Expect a promotion. The limelight. An award or kudos. Bravo!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The current disposition is going to surface some thoughts you long had, maybe something you even forgot about and that will put you in a sensible position towards someone you only know as an acquaintance.
Make sure you don’t react on impulse and think twice what you are going to say to mend the situation if needed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are trying to take everything as entertaining and only search for the fun in everything you have to do this Monday but perhaps this is not the best approach for a serious week.
Especially if you are supposed to lead some people, think of the example you are giving them and see whether you’d respect yourself after this.
You can also read this special Taurus Daily Horoscope.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You are going to be quite sensible this beginning of the week, with a great focus on family members, especially young people around.
At some point you are probably exactly what they need, a bit of guidance and empathy but make sure you don’t turn this into more of a speech and patronizing attitude as this will not go down well.
You can also read this special Gemini Daily Horoscope.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You need to focus more on actual work rather than what you are passionate about and invest in reaching those deadlines rather than in rhetorical questions.
Pay attention to what is actually being said to you and follow the instructions provided rather than come up with your own better ideas, especially in strict work environments.
You can also read this special Cancer Daily Horoscope.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You will have to make up your mind quickly in regard to a purchase you might have in mind as time is ticking and you will either lose a great occasion or choose wrongfully if you take too much time to think and change your mind every second.
At the same time, don’t let yourself too influenced by those around as you will end up disappointed.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You need to bear in mind that possibly the only confidantes you have are your partner or someone in your family.
No matter how good friends you are with someone, you never know when the wheel turns and you don’t want anything you ever said to weight against you exactly when you feel on top of everything.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The current disposition will probably put you face to face with an event you dreaded for some time now and it will be up to you to support yourself and find the means to get through this.
Your cries of help might not really be listened to but this is no reason to be demoralized but rather to grow stronger on the inside.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are projecting on your loved one something you wanted a long time ago and you don’t even realize it, furthermore can’t see that you, yourself have changed and now you are different.
Therefore the flames of conflict are set to show their teeth and for some natives, this fire might even be a purifying one, at least this time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You need to leave your ambitions second place, stop chasing them blindly and just do the basic things you are supposed to do.
Fulfilling your tasks will get you one step closer to what you really want but without showing yourself opportunistic. Something that otherwise you risk doing, especially in front of someone important.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You are trying to dedicate yourself to a personal endeavor this Monday but maybe you haven’t really chosen the right time.
It seems that you will also have a lot of extra work to do in the office so your focus will be a lot diminished when you get to your personal stuff. Don’t get too low because of that cause it is only natural.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You know your purpose and the way to reach your goals this Monday but maybe not everyone around you should know them too and maybe a bit of secrecy wouldn’t do you harm.
Other than that, you will see that some things around you are not as stable as you’d imagined them to be and perhaps you will thank yourself for not getting involved in that.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You are too focused on the opinion others have about you that you completely forget about the impression you are actually giving them.
So instead of giving up and considering everyone had their own preconceived ideas, maybe take a closer look to how you behave and see whether you can do something to be regarded better.

Wicca and Witchcraft – Witch’s Runes
Most Witches are aware that runes can be used for divination. Most practitioners have seen or used the well known Futhark (or Viking) runes, but did you know that there is actually a set of eight pictgraphic runes solely for use by Witches?
The Witch’s runes consist of eight pictographic stones: The Sun, moon, crossed spears, black rune, wave, ear of corn, rings and the birds.
Many Witches use both the Witch’s runes and the Futhark runes when divination is called for. To use the Witch’s Runes for divination purposes the runes are cast in the manner of dice, casting all of them at once.
A rune is only relevant to a reading if … Click here to read the rest of this article Source: Psychic-revelation.com

All Signs
Monday’s Full Moon is challenging for partnerships, especially if you’re in a toxic situation with a controlling or stagnant partner. Uranus could trigger rash actions. Generally, a serious decision should not be the result of a knee-jerk reaction. Here is advice I once heard at a lecture in 1981, in Portland, Oregon. “If you act with discipline, you will have no regrets. This means if you do something and you don’t regret it, then you acted with discipline. Or if you do something and you regret it, then you didn’t act with discipline. And if you don’t do something and you don’t regret it, then you acted with discipline. And if you don’t do something and you regret it, then you didn’t act with discipline.” For years, this has been a helpful litmus test for me when making decisions. Especially when buying bananas.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This Full Moon will be challenging for you when it comes to romantic connections and relationships with your kids. In fact, this is an accident-prone time so be extra vigilant with your children to avoid mishaps. You must also be patient with them. (Remember that you are the adult and the role model for demonstrating tolerance and understanding.) This week also marks a shift in energy for you, which means in the next four weeks, you’re ready to work and bust your buns! You want to get as much done as possible, in an efficient, effective way. You might also improve your job or get a raise. Certainly, coworkers will be supportive. Even your health will be vigourous. Yay!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Many of you might feel tension and difficulties dealing with family members, especially parents or authority figures. Note: Monday’s Full Moon will bring situations to a head, especially related to old business. One example might be a quarrel because something isn’t finished or not done yet. In turn, this creates resentment and criticism. (Isn’t this fun?) Whatever the quarrel (and it’s likely about something from the past) – let it go. Ten years from now — how important will this be? Instead, you can look forward to four weeks of lighthearted fun, social outings, the enjoyment of sports events and fun activities with kids. It’s the truth!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
On Monday everyone faces a challenging Full Moon; and for Gemini, this includes an accident-prone influence. Therefore, from the moment you are reading these words, be extra cautious. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Don’t be hasty. Drive slowly and keep your eyes open because you are definitely in an accident-prone window. Even verbal gaffes will be embarrassing. The main thing is you want to protect your body. And your possessions. You will also notice a shift to home and family for the next four weeks as your interest in redecorating and entertaining at home grows. You might explore real-estate opportunities. Many of you will be more involved with a parent.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You save money and find bargains. You’re not casual about money. Right now, as Monday’s Full Moon approaches, you might be in an argument with someone about money, earnings, cash flow or something you own. Or perhaps, something you owe? Or it might be because someone has broken or harmed your possessions, or caused you to lose money. It’s sudden and you’re not happy. Cope with this as best you can because you are a reasonable, sensitive person. Meanwhile, fasten your seatbelt because in the next four weeks, the pace of your days will accelerate because you have places to go, things to do and people to see!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a tough time for friendships and partnerships. Monday’s Full Moon will bring things to a head, especially issues building up from the past. You might have to weigh the benefits and the disadvantages of staying in a relationship. You might want to strike a blow for freedom? “Enough is enough.” Before you make an important decision, please read the advice I shared in All Signs above. Meanwhile, you’re popular and enjoying the company of friends as well as interactions with groups. In the next four weeks, your focus on money, cash flow and your possessions will be stronger than usual. You will want to make what you own work for you in your own best interests. Natch!
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a challenging time because issues from the past that have lingered with you are suddenly coming to the surface and can’t be ignored. They could relate to a relationship, your work, a pet, or even your health. Meanwhile, something unexpected, perhaps with another country or someone from a different culture might trigger things so that you feel you have to act. As I mentioned for Leo, please check out the advice I shared in All Signs above because it might help you. Fortunately, this week the Sun enters your sign to stay for four weeks and this will boost your confidence and your energy! It will attract people and favourable situations to you. It will be your turn to shine!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This might be a challenging time for you because, you are a people pleaser. You don’t like to rock the boat. You like harmony in your surroundings both physically and emotionally. The Full Moon on Monday is particularly challenging, which is why you might feel at odds with friends or groups. Something unexpected might happen that causes you to want to stop your interaction with someone or a group. Possibly, this pertains to difficulties in a romantic relationship? For some, it might even be challenges dealing with your kids. The unexpected urgency of something makes you want to act, even rashly. (This is why I shared the advice mentioned in All Signs above.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are a powerful sign. You’re determined and disciplined. Monday’s Full Moon will create tension between you and an authority figure (parents, bosses, VIPs or the police.) In fact, something unexpected, perhaps related to a friend or a partner, could trigger a sudden desire to make changes. At the very least, you’re going to clarify things and speak your mind. This could be about an ongoing problem (from your point of view) related to a boss or a parent. If possible, think about the ramifications of what you are about to do. Meanwhile, you’re heading into a popular four weeks ahead where everyone wants to see your face. Fun city!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Please be aware this is an accident-prone time for you. (Yikes!) Pay attention to everything you say as well as everything you do. Think before you speak, even though something unexpected might prompt you to act rashly. (Moi?) The thing is, you don’t want to say something you later regret. (See All Signs above.) In fact, this week the Sun moves to the top of your chart to stay for four weeks. This happens only once a year, and when it occurs, it casts you in a flattering spotlight, which makes you look great in everyone’s eyes. This is why people will ask you to take on increased responsibilities. They will admire you!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Keep an eye on money, cash flow and your possessions right now because Monday’s Full Moon will create some disruptions for you. It could challenge your responsibilities in a particular situation. It might relate to banking, shared property, insurance issues, and it will be something you did not expect that you have to deal with. Do not act rashly. Give everything a sober, second thought, which is your style. You’re prepared to work hard now and work smart. Meanwhile, beginning this week, travel beckons! If possible, get thee to an airport or start driving and watch those telephone poles go by because you want a change of scenery! Romance with someone different is in the picture. Woot!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Heads up because things are coming to a crescendo in some fashion in your world because Monday is a difficult Full Moon and it is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. You will definitely feel some kind of stress dealing with spouses, partners and close friends. And it might be because of something unexpected that suddenly occurs. It might even relate to an ex-partner. Could jealousy be a factor? Whatever the case, think before you act, even though you want to respond fast. Obviously, you don’t want to say or do anything that you will regret later. (See All Signs above.) Instead, channel your energy into issues related to taxes, debt, shared property, banking and the wealth or resources of your partner.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You might feel unsettled. This could be due to your job, your health or a pet. Or perhaps you suspect that there is someone who is working against your best interests? (Sneaky and unsettling.) This might relate to unfinished business that’s been dragging on related to your work or even your health. You also have pressure right now dealing with family because increased chaos is a bit challenging. You might feel you’re not getting the support from a friend or partner that you wish. Whatever the case, resist knee-jerk reactions and doing something you might later regret. Be cool. In fact, partnerships will be your major focus in the next four weeks.
