Full Moon in Scorpio – The Depths Call Us Home
Also known as the Full Flower Moon
The Full Moon in Scorpio arrives cloaked in mystery, power, and transformation. Scorpio is the zodiac’s alchemist—forever seeking to peel back the layers, expose the hidden, and rise anew. This moon doesn’t play on the surface—it plunges us deep into emotional truths, encouraging surrender, release, and rebirth.
Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, governs the realms of the psyche, sexuality, power, and the shadow self. With the moon full in this sign, it’s time to face what we’ve repressed—be it fear, desire, grief, or truth. Expect heightened emotions, intuitive surges, and the sudden need to shed what no longer fits. You might feel raw—but there is great wisdom in this unearthing.
Key Energies of the Scorpio Full Moon – In Depth
The Scorpio Full Moon is not a surface event—it’s an initiation. This is a moon of intensity, truth, and emotional rebirth. Its energies run deep, uncovering what has been hidden and stirring the waters of the subconscious. Let’s take a closer look at what this means:
Shadow Integration
Scorpio governs the unseen and the unspoken. Under this moon, buried emotions, patterns, or memories may rise to the surface. Shadow integration isn’t about banishing darkness—it’s about meeting it with compassion, understanding its roots, and reclaiming the parts of yourself you've denied. This moon asks: What truth are you ready to face?
Sacred Endings & Karmic Closures
Full moons are always a time of culmination—but when in Scorpio, this is amplified. Relationships, habits, beliefs, or versions of yourself that have outlived their purpose may begin to unravel. This is a beautiful time to grieve, honour, and release with intention. Endings are sacred under this moon—they clear the path for rebirth.
Energetic Cleansing & Protection
Scorpio energy is magnetically sensitive. If you’ve been absorbing the moods or energies of others, this moon is the moment to clear your field. Cleanse with smoke, salt, herbs, or water. Reclaim your energy. Scorpio reminds us that boundaries are not walls—they are sacred spaces of self-respect.
Emotional & Sensual Reclamation
Scorpio rules both the emotional and sexual realms. This moon may awaken longings—for connection, for healing, for expression. Allow yourself to feel deeply, move slowly, and reconnect with your body. Whether through dance, rest, ritual, or intimacy, this is a powerful time to reclaim your sensual power without shame.
Heightened Intuition & Psychic Awareness
This moon pierces the veil. Dreams may become more vivid, synchronicities more frequent, and gut feelings impossible to ignore. Scorpio sharpens the senses that logic often overlooks. Trust your inner knowing. Ritual, meditation, and ancestral connection are especially potent now.
Lunar Reflection Prompts
-
What am I holding onto that is rotting in the dark?
-

This is not a moon of logic—it’s a moon of knowing. Sink into your intuition. Breathe into your bones. Let it guide you.
