~Full Moon in Scorpio (22°)
~Decan III of Scorpio
~Opposite Uranus
~Trine Saturn
This full moon is deep and intense terrain to jouney through. Last week was a sweet break from the cosmic intensity. This week continues with some beautiful energy but we begin with the powerful Scorpio full moon that is sitting the deeply healing and emotionally charged Decan III. It’s a powerful Decan for transformation and powerful alchemy of our worlds, but it’s rarely gentle. It’s a magnetic and enchanting area of the zodiac and when we tap in with intention and desire to grow, we can feel the effects in huge ways on our subconscious and conscious mind. Old wounds, traumas, desires, setbacks, and also such topside of strife and violence can be experienced here. You will feel emotional. The full moon will be affecting our energies for the next two weeks til the next new moon, but also we can feel it for another six months until the next Scorpio new moon, setting a new cycle. * you can think back to early November to any themes that were present and they may be coming up again around this time. Depending on where this sits in your chart, it’s a powerful push to let what is dead go so we can begin a new with a fresh and more aligned journey forward. There is nothing superficial about Scorpio. Taboo, repressed emotions and desires, our own expression of soul are all being lit up. It’s important to be so gentle with yourself. This lunation is also opposite Uranus, who’s sitting with the Sun. Uranus in the mix can bring breakthroughs, shocking revelations, deep cathartic emotional releases and sudden realizations that shift our direction. Uranus demands liberation and reinvigoration. It’s a lightning bolt type of energy. Sitting with the sun, Uranus is bringing us the key to letting go of something no longer serving. Again, not for the weak of heart. Be open to intuitive insights and journal to keep in touch with them so you don’t go numb trying to not feel what’s presenting. We also have Saturn in a loose trine which offers us the maturity and grounded energy to stabilize and create boundaries that will restore our highest and best path. Love this energy being here for us!
Think shadow work, soul retrieval, breaking free, reclaiming our personal power, and healing old wounds we’re no longer in alignment with. We’re growing and evolving. Let this be your sign to allow the muck, the pain, the old, the comparisons and the outdated regimes die. What a gift!
This lunation is not asking you to sit in your own bullshit and smell it til you figure out how to get out of it, it’s literally offering you the energy to rise up and burn the bs away with courage and strength so that we can be reborn into a more pure, powerful and healed self. Notice what comes up and I would bet money you’ll feel a transformation occurring, internally.
My hope for you is you all what is coming up to be felt deeply and released intentionally and with personal reverence for it.

Please tell me, what are you letting go!? What is ready to die so that the new can be born, honored, witness and realized? Don’t go to sleep on this. Don’t use drugs or alcohol to numb. Feel it to release it!
Sending all the love and fuel for change from my little corner of the world.
My favorite energy of this lunation is the potential for deep realization of what needs closure, released so that we can come fully into who we are, now. We’re constantly changing and growing, or we’re not really living. Scorpio is the manifestation of this energy.
🌙 The Blessings
1. Sacred Healing Space:
This Moon invites you to honor your inner woundings and desires with reverence. Those buried emotions, quiet sorrows, or tender wounds you’ve tucked away? The dreams, desires and visions you hold onto in your own intimate space; Now is the time to release and renew. Light a candle, sip some tea, or write a letter to your self. Scorpio’s depth isn’t here to shatter you, it’s here and it can help you heal, letting go, letting things die and trying our wisdom into new visions of our future.
2. Whispers from the Unseen:
Your intuition is a gift. It’s speaking constantly whether you’re in tune or not. Pay attention to fleeting thoughts, quiet synchronicities, or dreams that linger like a gentle leash your pulled by. Use a mediation or visualization to come in contact with the deeper well of emotions speaking to us now from the spaces we often leave unturned because it’s safer and easier. The universe isn’t shouting—it’s leaning in close, brushing your ear with wisdom. Trust what comes through. The soulful life is the worthy life, in my humble opinion.
3. Creative Flow & Soulful Connection:
Let this energy stir your creativity like a sweet and intense wind. Pull out the paints, the jewelry, the wood, the pottery, the pen and paper and let your inner muse help you being to create from the depth of your being. If it feels right, do it! Scorpio’s magnetism can deepen bonds, too—vulnerable conversations or quiet moments of touch carry sacred weight. Let love, in all its forms, grow and bloom. Scorpio is not always conventional. Don’t question what you feel, but act with intention and be smart.
The Potential Challenges
1. When Emotions Feel Heavy:
Scorpio’s tides can pull you into overthinking or replaying old hurts. If you’re spiraling into “what ifs” or clinging to a grudge, take a break. Breathe into your belly, name the feeling aloud, and ask: Does this weight belong to me now? If not, loosen your grip—it’s okay to let it drift away. It’s not only ok, it’s the medicine that will set you free. Forgive. Release. Let go.
2. The Lure of Numbing Out:
Uranus’ chaos might tempt you to escape—into endless scrolling, foods, drinks or drugs, or daydreams of a different life. Instead, try wrapping your discomfort in compassion and grace. A warm bath, a walk in natures air, or 10 minutes of stillness can be gentle grounding. You don’t need to flee; you’re already safe here.
3. Quiet Power Shifts:
Control is an illusion, but this Moon might make you crave it. If you’re tempted to manipulate a situation or hide your truth, soften. Speak plainly. Boundaries can be kind; honesty can be gentle. Walk away from what dims your light—no drama needed. I always say, you don’t have to be an asshole to hold your boundaries. Don’t get caught in what isn’t worthy of holding.
This is a great lunation to do a ritual to let go! Also a good moon to charge your crystals or some water. This moon won’t disappoint in its intensity.
Ritual to Release: Water & Stars
You’ll need: A small bowl of water, a slip of paper, salt (or a pinch of herbs like rosemary or sage).
1. Set the Space: Sit under the Moon (or near a window). Place the bowl before you. Sprinkle salt/herbs into the water, whispering: “Cleanse what no longer serves.”
2. Write & Release: On the paper, jot down what you’re ready to let go—a fear, a habit, an old story. Fold it once, then place it in the water. Say: “I surrender this to the cosmos. I am free.”
3. Breathe & Trust: Watch the ink blur and the paper soften. As it dissolves, imagine the weight lifting from your chest. Thank the water, then pour it onto the earth (or a plant) as an offering.
Nature is the master of alchemy. It takes what is dead and uses it for new life. Let it go to the earth.
Remember, my friend: This Moon isn’t a storm to survive through, it’s a slow, deep flowing river with an invitation to cleanse and let what no longer serves die. Rest when needed. Take breaks. You’re restoring your roots to grow more powerful wings. Use this energy in an empowered way. It’s an invitation.
I’ll be back this week to share the Uranus Cazimi, which is the sun and Uranus standing together in the sky on the 17th. Powerful clarity and breakthroughs can occur. Alot to share.
Take such good care and be well.
Angela
