The Full Moon energy we are currently experiencing is the intense and transformative energy of the Scorpio Full Moon. Here are some ritual ideas aligned with this energy:

Scorpio is a water sign known for its intensity, passion, depth, and transformative power. Full Moons in Scorpio are potent times for releasing what no longer serves you on a deep, emotional level and embracing profound change.

Themes of this Scorpio Full Moon:

• Deep Emotional Release: Scorpio governs our hidden emotions, secrets, and the subconscious. This Full Moon amplifies these feelings, bringing what's buried to the surface for healing.
• Transformation and Rebirth: Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, Scorpio energy encourages us to shed old skins and embrace profound personal transformation.
• Shadow Work: This is a powerful time to confront your shadow self – the parts of yourself you may have repressed or denied. Bringing these aspects into the light allows for integration and healing.
• Intimacy and Connection: Scorpio delves into the depths of connection, both with ourselves and with others. Rituals can focus on deepening intimacy and understanding power dynamics in relationships.
• Breaking Free from Control: Scorpio can be associated with control and manipulation (both giving and receiving). This Full Moon offers an opportunity to release unhealthy control patterns.

Ritual Ideas:

1. Shadow Work Journaling:
   • Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed.
   • Reflect on your shadow aspects: What are your triggers? What are the parts of yourself you try to hide? What fears or insecurities surface?
   • Journal honestly and without judgment about these aspects. Acknowledge them and explore their origins.
   • Write down what you are ready to release from your shadow self, using "I release..." statements.
2. Cord-Cutting Ritual:
   • This ritual is for releasing energetic ties that no longer serve you – to people, situations, or past traumas.
   • You will need a candle (black or red are often used for Scorpio energy) and a piece of string or ribbon.
   • Hold the string, visualizing it as the energetic cord connecting you to what you want to release.
   • Speak your intention to release this connection clearly and firmly.
   • Carefully burn or cut the string, visualizing the energetic tie being severed.
   • As the string breaks, say an affirmation of freedom and closure.
3. Water Cleansing and Emotional Release Bath:
   • Prepare a bath with Epsom salts, essential oils like patchouli or ylang-ylang (associated with Scorpio), and perhaps some dark-colored flower petals.
   • As you soak in the water, visualize the Full Moon's light drawing out any stagnant or negative emotions.
   • Allow yourself to feel these emotions fully without judgment, and then visualize them dissolving into the water and draining away.
   • As you exit the bath, imagine yourself cleansed and renewed.
4. Scrying with Water or a Mirror:
   • Scorpio is associated with the subconscious and hidden truths. Gazing into a bowl of dark water or a mirror in the moonlight can be a way to access deeper insights.
   • Set an intention to see what needs to be revealed for your transformation.
   • Gaze softly without focusing, allowing images or feelings to surface.
   • Journal any insights or emotions that arise.
5. Transformative Fire Ritual:
   • Safely build a small fire outdoors or use a fire-safe bowl.
   • Write down on pieces of paper what you are ready to transform or release.
   • One by one, carefully toss the papers into the fire, visualizing those energies being transmuted into something new.
   • Speak affirmations of the changes you desire.
6. Connecting with Your Power:
   • Scorpio is a powerful sign. Sit in meditation and focus on your root chakra, visualizing a deep red energy connecting you to the Earth's core.
   • Affirm your inner strength and your ability to navigate transformation.
   • Visualize yourself standing in your power, confident and resilient.

Important Considerations for Today's Scorpio Full Moon:

• Intensity: Be prepared for potentially strong emotions to surface. Allow yourself to feel them without judgment, knowing that this is part of the release process.
• Truth and Honesty: Scorpio compels us to be honest with ourselves about the deeper truths of our lives. Be willing to look beneath the surface.
• Boundaries: While exploring deep connections, remember to maintain healthy boundaries and protect your energy.
• Trust the Process: Transformation can be uncomfortable, but trust that this Full Moon is supporting your growth and evolution.

Choose the ritual that resonates most with you today. The energy of the Scorpio Full Moon is potent for deep healing and significant transformation. Embrace the process and allow yourself to emerge renewed.
