This Scorpio Full Moon Ritual is ideal for harnessing the extraordinary power of the Full Moon on May 12, 2025.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is one of the most powerful lunations of the year for deep emotional healing. This Moon invites you to release what no longer serves you, confront the shadows within, and reclaim your inner strength. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, planet of death and rebirth, so this is a perfect time to shed old patterns, heal buried wounds, and rise renewed.
You don’t need anything elaborate. Just a quiet space, a little time to yourself, and the willingness to look inside yourself. Scorpio is an inward-looking sign. It rewards those brave enough to look into their own depths.
What You’ll Need for this New Moon in Scorpio Ritual
- A journal and pen
- A small black or white candle
- A bowl of water with a pinch of sea salt
- A fireproof bowl or dish
- A piece of paper
- Optional: obsidian, black tourmaline, or amethyst for grounding and protection
Step 1: Cleanse Your Space
Begin by physically and energetically cleansing your space. Tidy up the area where you’ll perform the ritual. Light some incense, diffuse essential oils, or use a cleansing spray. Scorpio energy can feel heavy, so it helps to create a calm, grounded atmosphere.
Step 2: Ground and Centre
Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes. Place your hands on your heart and say:
“I am safe. I am ready to release what no longer serves me. I invite transformation.”
Visualise roots growing from your spine and feet into the earth, anchoring you deeply.
Step 3: Light Your Candle
Light your candle and gaze into the flame. Let it represent your inner strength and your willingness to heal. Say aloud or silently:
“With this flame, I honour the truth within me. I now call in deep healing.”
Step 4: Write What You Need to Release
Take your piece of paper and begin writing. Let the words flow. Focus on what you’re ready to let go of – old fears, past hurt, limiting beliefs, toxic ties, emotional patterns, or even a part of your identity that no longer feels true.
Be honest. Scorpio energy supports truth, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Step 5: Let It Burn
When you feel ready, fold the paper and hold it over the flame (safely). Drop it into your fireproof bowl and watch it burn. As it turns to ash, say:
“I release all that weighs me down. I shed this skin. I make space for healing and rebirth.”
If you prefer not to use fire, tear the paper into small pieces and submerge them in the salted water, visualising the emotions dissolving and being cleansed.
Step 6: Cleanse Your Energy
Dip your fingers into the salted water and touch your third eye, heart, and the soles of your feet. Say:
“I cleanse my mind. I heal my heart. I ground my spirit.”
Take a few more deep breaths, letting the energy settle. Sit in silence for a moment and notice how you feel.
Step 7: Journal for Insight
Open your Moon Journal and write freely. You might explore the following questions:
- What truth have I uncovered tonight?
- What part of me has been transformed?
- What do I now understand about myself that I didn’t before?
Step 8: Close the Ritual
Blow out the candle and thank yourself for showing up. Scorpio energy doesn’t ask for perfection. It only asks for honesty and presence.
Say:
“I honour my strength. I trust in the process of healing. I rise renewed.”
Let the energy of the Scorpio Full Moon Ritual support your transformation in the days ahead.
