The Scorpio Full Moon will take place on May 5th and the same day we’ll also have a penumbral Lunar Eclipse. This means that the Earth will be between the Moon and the Sun, producing a partial shadow on the Moon. During this period we might feel more emotional as lunar eclipses can impact our feelings and our relationships.
Some emotions that were developing in our heart can start to be revealed. It will be an impulse to take action and to express our true feelings. We come from the Aries New Moon and a Solar Eclipse that already invited us to make a move with trust and confidence, a period that pushed us to finish projects, evolve to a next level of consciousness and the transformation of our personal relationships to create healthier and positive connections.
Scorpio Full Moon’s energy continues this movement and can involve more personal and professional changes. Here you'll find out everything you need to know to use this enthusiastic energy in your favor with the best rituals and crystals for Scorpio Full Moon.

Things to do this Full Moon
The Scorpio Full Moon invites us to self-reflection and transformation. It offers us the opportunity to face our fears and let go of what no longer serves us.
• Release Ritual: the night of the Scorpio Full Moon, find a quiet place where you can be alone. Take a few moments to reflect on what you would like to let go of in your life. Write down these thoughts on paper and then burn it in a safe place, letting the smoke help you fade all those things out of your life.
• New Life Ritual: after releasing what no longer serves you, a space is empty and needs to be filled with something positive. Set your new goals, beliefs and thoughts for what you would like to create in your life. Write down your intentions on a piece of paper and then place it in a special box. As you close the lid, imagine your intentions taking form and manifesting in the world.
• Take a Cleansing Bath: if you have a bathtub, draw yourself a warm bath and fill it with salts and essential oils. If you don't have it, you can still take a special shower. Use an aromatic soap or put some eucalyptus leaves in the shower, the steam will give off a pleasant aroma. Play your favorite music and imagine the water washing away any dense energy from your body and spirit. I love to burn incense while in the tub and surround myself with my favorite bath crystals.
• Connect with the Stars: on the night of the Scorpio Full Moon, take some time to go outside to see the sky. Imagine the energy of the Moon and the stars connecting with your own energy and providing you insight and guidance.
• Charge your crystals: you already know it! The moment to cleanse and charge your crystals with the moonlight have arrived! You can read all about that here.
