Alright, moon lovers – buckle up. Monday 12th May brings us a juicy, deeply transformative Full Moon in Scorpio and she’s not playing around.
If you’re anything like me, you might’ve already started to feel the emotional undercurrents building. Scorpio doesn’t deal in surface-level fluff. She dives deep. And when the Moon is full in this sign, it’s like the universe holding up a mirror and saying, “Right then, let’s talk about what’s really going on.”
Holding Space to Transform
This moon isn’t about pushing things away or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about holding space – for all of it. The mess, the ache, the truth you’ve been side-stepping. It’s the kind of energy that invites you to sit in the thick of your emotions, not to wallow, but to witness.
There’s something incredibly powerful about giving yourself permission to feel it all. That’s where the magic of transformation begins. Scorpio’s ruled by Pluto, planet of death and rebirth. So think shedding skin, letting go of old stories and stepping into something more aligned, even if it’s still unclear.
Feel It, Don’t Fix It (Yet)
There’s a tendency when big feelings come up to want to fix them straight away; slap on a solution, tidy up the mess, get back to “normal.” But this moon says: slow down. Let yourself feel. It’s not weak to feel lost or vulnerable or raw. In fact that’s often where your strength lives.
If something needs to fall apart under this moon, let it. Cry, rage, journal, walk under the stars – whatever helps you move it through your body. You’re not breaking. You’re breaking open.
What’s Being Lit Up?
Scorpio Full Moons shine a light on the shadowy corners. On the stuff we usually keep tucked away so don’t be surprised if old wounds, secrets or even power struggles come up for review. This isn’t to punish you. It’s a cosmic nudge to heal.
What needs forgiving? What’s asking to be released? Where have you given your power away, and how can you reclaim it gently but firmly?
It’s also a good time to look at emotional patterns and cycles – especially ones that have been quietly running the show behind the scenes. You might find yourself realising, “Oh, that’s why I always react like that,” or “I see now where that fear’s been coming from.” Awareness is everything.
Surrender, Don’t Struggle
Above all, this moon wants you to surrender. Not in a passive, giving-up way – but in a powerful, “I trust the process” kind of way. Surrender to what’s shifting, to what’s unknown, and to what’s calling you forward.
We’re not meant to have it all figured out. Sometimes we’re just meant to breathe through the changes and trust that what’s falling away is making space for something more true.
So light a candle, have a cry, talk to the moon. She’s holding you in all your mess and magic. If you’re into crystals, a moon manifestation crystal set can offer you support during this time too.
Scorpio doesn’t promise ease, but she does promise depth. And if you’re willing to go there, you might just come out the other side a little freer, a little clearer, and a lot more you.
If you’re feeling in tune with the lunar vibes, we have a range of products inspired by the powerful energies of the moon. From moon shaped crystal carvings to Moonology diaries, and moonstone jewellery – you can find it all here.

🜃 FULL MOON IN SCORPIO RITUAL
Monday 12th May
Theme: Transformation, Feeling, Surrender, Healing the Shadow
What You’ll Need:
- A candle (black, white, or deep red is lovely – you can find spell candles here)
- A journal or notebook + pen
- A bowl of water (optional – for emotional cleansing)
- A quiet space where you won’t be disturbed
1. Set Your Space
Light your candle and take a few deep breaths. Get comfy. Let the day melt away. If you’re into smudging or using essential oils, go for it – whatever helps you shift into ritual mode.
2. Ground + Tune In
Place your hands on your heart or belly.
Take 5 deep breaths.
Say (out loud or silently):
“Under this Scorpio Moon, I allow myself to feel, to heal, and to surrender. I trust the process of transformation.”
3. Journal Prompts
Write freely, don’t censor yourself. Let whatever needs to surface, surface.
- What emotions have I been avoiding or suppressing?
- What feels ready to be transformed or released?
- Where have I given away my power, and how can I call it back?
- What truth am I ready to face – even if it’s uncomfortable?
- What am I surrendering to the moon tonight?
4. Release + Cleanse
Write down one thing you’re ready to let go of on a separate piece of paper. Fold it up.
If it’s safe to do so, burn it (carefully!) in a fireproof dish or outside, or simply tear it up and place it in the water bowl, letting it dissolve symbolically.
Say:
“I release this with love. I no longer carry what is not mine to hold.”
5. Close with Intention
Place your hands back on your heart and say:
“I honour the depth of my emotions. I trust in my healing. I welcome in the next version of myself.”
Blow out your candle and give thanks to the moon.
Optional Extras:
- Take a salt bath to cleanse your energy
- Listen to a Scorpio-themed playlist (moody, witchy, soulful vibes)
- Pull a tarot or oracle card for guidance
