The Transformative Power of the Full Moon in Scorpio
Shadows Revealed
This week, we will experience the Full Moon in Scorpio, a moment of significant revelations. It invites us to dive deep into our emotions and release what no longer serves us.
Let’s explore the transformative impact of this powerful moon and how we can harness its energy for personal growth. In addition to opposing the Sun, it will form a grand T-square with Pluto, its ruler.
Scorpio: Depth and Transformation
Scorpio is a passionate and transformative sign that challenges us to explore our deepest emotions and face our shadows with bravery and courage. It represents regeneration and renewal, encouraging us to let go of the old to make way for the new.
I want to remind you that when we talk about signs, we are referring to energies, not people. This means that we all have Scorpio somewhere in our natal chart; therefore, that energy is within us.
In Scorpio, we store and “hide” everything that is taboo, intense, or even painful. It represents those moments when we feel such overwhelming emotions that they hurt—not because of the emotions themselves, but because of the fear of losing them, of letting go of what we have always clung to as if it were never meant to be free.
The Dark Side of Scorpio
On its darker side, Scorpio’s energy can manifest as possessiveness, jealousy, and resentment. We long so deeply to merge with another person, a project, or something meaningful that we try to control it, fearing change and the impermanence of life.
This can make us manipulative and obsessive, clinging to old grudges and thoughts of revenge, such as: “I will never forgive you for what you did,” “You’ll regret this,” “It’s either me or no one,” “To me, you are already dead,” and so on.
Scorpio feels so intensely that, at some point, it begins to identify with suffering and drama, making them part of its identity. This happened to me—I have a strong Scorpio energy, and for many years, I needed to create drama and suffering around me to feel loved.
When I learned all of this, it was difficult to let go of that identity and truly discover who Victoria was without it. It was a rebirth, an awakening to a different life, to my true self. To achieve this, I had to leave behind my attachment to chaos (and many people who were part of that reality) and start seeking more balance.
The Light Side of Scorpio
On the other hand, Scorpio carries immense light within. When it dares to embrace its shadow and connect with its inner radiance, it rises from the ashes like the phoenix. It undergoes a metamorphosis from a scorpion to an eagle, which sees everything from the sky with elevated values and wisdom.
Scorpio possesses qualities such as determination, passion, and the ability to transmute energy. It seeks truth and authenticity in everything it does and in all its relationships. It is willing to face even the most challenging situations with courage and resilience because it does not fear embracing its darkness.
What Scorpio Teaches Us
Scorpio teaches us the importance of transformation and rebirth. It invites us to delve into our shadows and release emotional patterns that limit us, allowing us to be reborn with greater awareness and empowerment.
When someone integrates Scorpio’s energy into their life, they become that loyal person who will always speak their truth with respect but without hesitation. They love deeply, see others for who they truly are, and connect authentically. They open their heart with vulnerability and without expecting anything in return because they have released control and attachment, allowing them to love unconditionally.
How to Work with the Energy of the Full Moon in Scorpio
As I mentioned earlier, this moon is profoundly transformative because it forms a T-square with Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, which governs this lunation. When we talk about Pluto, we talk about death and transformation, chaos and rebirth, personal power and inner strength, deep love…
With everything happening in the sky—Uranus and Jupiter conjunct, Chiron highly active, Mercury retrograde, and the eclipse season still ongoing (yes, it’s not over yet)—this moon invites us to turn inward and observe our deepest shadows, unresolved wounds, unaddressed traumas, toxic behaviors we keep repeating, and the relationships we hold onto out of attachment, control, manipulation, and fear.
Here are some ways to work with the energy of this moon and connect with its transformative power:
Reflect on what you need to release in order to move forward. What are you holding onto that you know is no longer serving you?
What was happening in your life around November 13, 2023? That was the date of the New Moon in Scorpio, and this Full Moon marks the manifestation of that cycle. Observe if anything from that period is resurfacing now.
Practice self-inquiry and introspection to explore your deepest emotions. At the end of this article, you will find a link to my Telegram community, where I have shared a planner you can use for self-reflection.
Seek therapy—it’s a great time to bring to light whatever is still blocking you from creating a new reality. Don’t fear facing your shadow; it will always be with you anyway.
Perform release rituals, such as writing down what you wish to let go of and burning it, or trying the empty chair exercise, which is highly effective.
Cultivate compassion for yourself and others during this transformation process. We all have shadows, and we are all going through moments of change—some more intensely than others. Patience and compassion are crucial at this time.
Conclusion
During this Full Moon in Scorpio, embrace the opportunity to release and let go of what no longer serves you. Allow yourself to journey into the depths of your being and emerge with greater clarity and authenticity.
I hope the transformative energy of Scorpio guides you on your path of growth and evolution, helping you rise as your most aligned self, full of unconditional love. May this moon inspire you to free yourself and shine with your true light.
