The Scorpio Full Moon: Dancing With The Shadows
Discover the Energy of the Scorpio Full Moon with Ro Marlen
Every month we feel the magnetic pull of the full moon, some of us feel it especially now when it glows in Scorpio's mysterious waters. Something deep stirs within us during this time - an invitation to peel back the layers we've carefully constructed and peek into the corners of our hearts we usually keep hidden.
We can think of this moon as nature's truth serum. Like the way autumn strips trees bare, revealing their essential structure, this lunar phase gently urges us to let go of the masks we wear and the stories we've outgrown. It's not always comfortable, but it's incredibly freeing.
I'm excited to walk with you through this potent lunar moment in this cycle and season. We'll explore how this moon touches our emotional world, sparks our creativity, and deepens our connection to the earth beneath our feet. Let us follow the invitation to face our shadows together and discover the gifts they hold.
The Heart of Scorpio Energy
If you've ever dipped your toes into a still, deep pool, you know there's something both thrilling and unnerving about not being able to see the bottom. That's Scorpio energy. As a water sign, it pulls us beneath the surface of our everyday thoughts into the rich, sometimes murky waters of our emotional depths.
During this full moon, everything feels more intense - our dreams, our fears, our longings. It's like someone turned up the volume on our inner world. While this might feel overwhelming at first, it's actually a precious opportunity to get real with ourselves and shed what's no longer true to who we're becoming.
Dancing with the Scorpio Full Moon: Different Ways to Welcome Her Medicine
The Scorpio Full Moon stirs the raw, primal knowing that lives in our bones. Some of us feel called to dive into those shadowy waters, while others might prefer to wade carefully at the edge. Both approaches hold wisdom.
When this moon rises full and bright, she can be both healing balm and truth-teller. Sometimes she gently guides us toward emotional release, helping us shed tears we've held back for too long. Other times, she illuminates the tender spots we'd rather keep hidden - our jealousies, fears, and attachments. Teachers like Chani Nicholas speak to the soul-level cleansing this moon brings, while Jessica Lanyadoo reminds us that she can also stir up relationship dynamics we thought we'd buried.
Like the snake shedding its skin, many feel pulled to release old patterns during this time. Lisa Stardust encourages us to let go of emotional weight we've been carrying, making space for fresh energy. Yet there's also wisdom in gathering up all these pieces of ourselves - even the messy, complicated parts - and holding them with compassion.
While this moon certainly invites us into personal reflection, her medicine ripples far beyond our individual journeys. Yes, we can use this time for deep inner work, as Susan Miller suggests. But as adrienne maree brown beautifully reminds us, our personal healing sends waves through our communities. When we tend to our own depths, we contribute to the healing of the collective.
The Scorpio Full Moon meets each of us exactly where we are, whether we're ready to dive deep or simply dip our toes in. Her light illuminates many paths to transformation, and all of them lead home to ourselves.
The Scorpio Full Moon: Coming Home to Earth
As the Scorpio Full Moon illuminates the sky, she beckons us back to the sweet embrace of Mother Earth. Can you feel it? That gentle pull to slow down, to dig your toes into cool grass, to rest your back against an ancient tree.
In these wild times, when our phones buzz endlessly and headlines loom, Earth whispers: "Come home, beloved." She invites us to remember that we belong to her - that our bodies are made of the same stuff as mountains and meadows, rivers and rain.
Take a moment. Feel the ground holding you. Allow your breath to sync with the wind in the leaves. This is your birthright - this deep knowing that you're part of Earth's endless dance. When we pause to listen, really listen, something shifts. Our nervous systems settle. Our hearts remember their wild wisdom.
What would it feel like to weave little moments of Earth connection into your days? Maybe it's a warm drink in the morning with bare feet in dewy grass. Or pressing your palms against rough tree bark on your lunch break. Or simply closing your eyes and feeling the sun warm your face.
This Full Moon, Earth is calling. Will you answer?
Sacred Waters: Connecting with Our Creative Core
The dance of the Earth, Moon and Sun is stirring in our depths as the Scorpio Full Moon rises tonight. Can you feel it? That deep, knowing pulse in your belly, that sacred space between your navel and your roots. This is where our raw creative energy lives and breathes - where we hold our deepest truths, our wildest dreams, our quiet fears.
Think of your pelvic bowl as a vessel, cradling the waters of your life force and inner world. During this Full Moon, these waters rise and ripple, asking us to wade in and feel what lies beneath. Maybe it's joy bubbling up like a spring. Maybe it's frozen energy ready to thaw. Whatever emerges, it's all welcome here.
This is more than just a physical space in our bodies - it's the wellspring of our creative force, our life-giving power. When we sink into this space, inviting breath deep into our belly, we tap into something ancient and wise. Something that knows how to create, to birth new life in all its forms.
The Scorpio Moon illuminates these depths, inviting us to explore the rich soil of our inner garden. Here, in the dark fertile earth of our being, seeds of creativity take root and grow. Our art, our words, our movement - they all flow from this sacred well within us.
This is where we access that divine spark of creation - that same force that moves through all living things. It's in the way we dance, the stories we tell, the love we share. When we open to this energy, we're joining an ancient lineage of creators, healers, and wisdom-keepers who came before us.
Feel into your pelvis now. Let your breath drop deep into your belly. There's magic here, in this sacred center of your being. Your creative power lives here, waiting to be awakened, ready to flow through you like a river finding its way to the sea.
A Sacred Invitation: Finding Wholeness Under the Scorpio Moon
Standing beneath a Full Moon in Scorpio - that luminous orb in the night sky speaks to something deep within us, awakening ancient memories carried in our bones. Our pelvis, that sacred bowl at our center, holds not just our physical being but the whispered stories of those who walked before us. Their joys, their sorrows, their hard-won wisdom - it's all there, waiting to be heard.
I feel it in my body when I pause to listen - the way my ancestors' experiences have shaped who I am. Some of these inherited patterns lift me up, while others may hold me back. This moon gives us permission to look at it all with gentle eyes, to keep what nourishes us and gratefully composting what no longer serves.
Take a moment with me. Close your eyes and feel into your own lineage. What stories live in your blood? What strengths have your people passed down? There's such richness in connecting to these roots while still growing into who we're meant to become.
And let's not forget to stay anchored in the now. Mother Earth holds us through it all. When life feels overwhelming, I love to walk barefoot in my garden, letting my feet sink into the soil. Shifts happen when we remember we're part of nature's great web - each breath connecting us to the trees, the birds, the turning of the seasons.
This simple act of coming home to our bodies and the earth creates space for our spirit to flourish. As we heal ourselves, we help heal the land. It's all connected, just as we are all connected - to our ancestors, to each other, to this living, breathing planet we call home.
Path To Wholeness
Coming Home To Ourselves
There is power in relationship - with ourselves, with the earth beneath our feet, with the rhythm of Creation’s cycles. As the Scorpio Full Moon rises, I remember that we're all part of something greater. We're not just observers of nature - we're woven into its very fabric, belonging to the Land and to each other in ways both simple and profound.
I look to the trees for remembrance and guidance. They remind me of the old Norse tale of Yggdrasil, the great tree of life. Like those ancient roots holding the realms of the Underworld, we can sink into our own depths, into that sacred space in our pelvis where creativity and ancestral wisdom live. Here, we learn to hold space for all of life - the joy and the heartache, the spark of creation and the ache of loss. We grow the capacity to hold the opposites.
When we allow ourselves to truly feel these emotions, to let them move through us like wind through branches, we begin to heal. Not just ourselves, but the earth that has always held us. This Scorpio Full Moon opens a doorway, inviting us to step into our fullness and share our unique gifts with the world.
A Time for Change
Think of this moon phase as nature's permission slip to transform. Just as trees know when to release their leaves, trust that you know what to let go of. There's wisdom in this releasing - it makes space for what wants to emerge. As we tend to our own healing, we participate in the healing of the Land itself. After all, our story has always been intertwined with the Earth's story.
