Letting Go Under the Full Flower Moon in Scorpio

Honoring the magic of release, transformation, and fresh beginnings.

The Full Flower Moon rises tonight in Scorpio—a potent time for healing, emotional release, and powerful transformation. This moon invites us to shed the weight we've been carrying, especially those old emotions and fears that no longer serve us. It’s a moment to breathe deeply, feel the weight fall away, and embrace the magic of renewal.

Scorpio is a sign of deep emotional work, so this isn’t just about clearing physical clutter; it's about clearing emotional and spiritual baggage. It’s a chance to let go of what's been holding us back, making room for the things we truly desire to grow and bloom.

Why Letting Go Is So Important

Often, we hold onto emotions or experiences out of habit, fear, or the mistaken belief that they’re a part of us. But what happens when we cling to negativity is that it clouds our energy and blocks our growth. This moon is your gentle reminder that it’s okay to release, to make space for the things that make you feel light and alive.

Whether it’s old grudges, self-doubt, or burdens that belong to someone else, now is the time to create space for fresh, positive energy to enter your life.

How to Release with the Flower Moon

Here are a few witchy, cozy ways to let go under the Full Flower Moon's healing energy:

1. Paper-Burning Ritual: Release with Fire

• What You’ll Need: A safe fireproof container, a piece of paper, a pen.

• How to Do It:
  Write down everything you’re ready to release—old fears, grudges, anything that weighs on your heart. Fold the paper and hold it close to your heart for a moment. When you’re ready, burn it safely in a fireproof bowl or cauldron. As you watch the paper turn to ash, feel the weight lifting from you.

2. Moonlit Bath Ritual

• What You’ll Need: Salt, lavender, rose petals, or essential oils.

• How to Do It:
  Fill your bath with hot water, adding a generous amount of sea salt, some dried lavender, and a few rose petals. As you soak, imagine all the negativity draining away, being replaced by peace and calm. Allow the moonlight to shine down on you if possible, or light a candle beside the tub for extra magic.

3. Baking Ritual for Self-Soothing

• What You’ll Need: Your favorite comforting recipe, such as lavender honey cakes (see previous blog post for recipe!)

• How to Do It:
  Baking can be an act of self-love and release. Stir your ingredients with intention, saying aloud what you're ready to release. When your treat is done, savor it slowly. Let the sweetness of the food remind you of the sweetness you deserve.

4. Journal Prompts for Emotional Clarity

If you’re feeling the pull of deep introspection, grab your journal and ask yourself:

• “What emotional clutter is filling up space in my spirit right now?”

• “What would it feel like to let it all go?”

• “What is waiting for me once I release what no longer serves me?”

Writing can help release those pent-up feelings and give you clarity on your next steps.

Trust the Process of Letting Go

Remember, this is a process, not a one-time event. The Full Flower Moon reminds us that it’s okay to feel deeply, but it’s also okay to let go when it’s time. Embrace this moment of transformation, knowing that you’re creating space for the new beginnings that await.

As the moon lights up the night sky, take a deep breath, release what you no longer need, and make space for the magic to enter.
