Super Moon in Scorpio
April 26th 2021
A moon is considered “super” when it is closest to earth during its orbit. The moon’s orbit is an ellipse and not a circle, thus it appears larger or smaller as it goes around. When the moon is this close its affects are felt much deeper. Full moons are associated with release, cleansing, and emotional highs. This is also evidenced by how the moon affects our ocean’s tides, when it is full the tides are very high –enveloping the shores to drag out debris when it wanes. This feels very intense for us, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed it could be a good time to cry it out. Scorpio energy is associated with intense emotions as well as secrets or obsessions. This super moon is calling us to release our obsession with control and to let grudges fade. Don’t shy away from your emotions, instead own them and feel the true power that comes from being passionately empathetic. Scorpio does not cry in shame; they fight with tears in their eyes. Your emotional depth is exactly what makes you so strong. Dive deep into who you are and explore your relationship to power during this full moon.
Full Moon Ritual Idea:
1.Fill a cup or glass with water.
2. Place some dried or fresh basil, cloves, or gardenia in the water.
3. Add a few drops of myrrh, patchouli, or vanilla to the water.
4. Place your cup of water with additions on your altar or table.
5. Place labradorite, tourmaline, rhodochrosite, or obsidian crystals around your cup (not in the water)
6. Dip a finger into the water and trace the rim of the cup/glass in a counter clockwise direction. Imagine (or speak) your insecurities and fears and imagine them flowing out and away from you with the tide of the ocean. (It’s totally okay if you cry during this!) Tell the moon your worries, she will always keep your secrets.
7. After you have let go of your worries, thank the moon for assisting you.
8. Dispose of the water and its contents either into the earth or if you do not have access to a yard, you may flush it (flushing doesn’t take away from your ritual).
A Scorpio mantra: I do not fear the depths of my own emotions, my empathy is my power. I am the healer of wounds, I hurt so that I may heal.
