🦂 What Can You Expect from the Full Moon in Scorpio 2025?

A full moon represents the culmination of hard work, manifestation, and intention. Whatever you set out to do six months ago might be finalized by the full moon. Usually, the full moon works better for letting go and releasing instead of starting anew. The full moon is typically an emotional period, however, this full moon might be moodier than anticipated. Luna is fall in Scorpio, meaning that the moon is weakened in Scorpio. A debilitated full moon will be emotionally dense, so you will likely struggle to go through a death and rebirth energy throughout the end of this lunar cycle.

Scorpio’s energy will heighten the full moon’s poignant emotional energy and intuition. You may feel more attuned to every little thing around you. In particular, Scorpio’s energy will focus on taboo, secrecy, intimacy, entanglements, and death. Scorpio isn’t light-hearted, so this full moon will likely center around the intensity of a situation or relationship in your life. Staring into the abyss will be emotionally challenging, even draining. It will be hard to deny if someone is a positive influence in your life, or if you want to continue partaking in a situation. The truth behind your relationship, situation, or agreement will come to light. Since you will have to face the music, you should reconsider if this is worth further investing in. You may feel like it’s time to pull your time, energy, money, and resources back. Then again, you could realize you’re not doing enough, and this might be your cosmic cue to put more effort in. Regardless of what you choose, the full moon in Scorpio will encourage you to honor what you can handle and let go of what you cannot.

🧠 Overall Theme: Should you stay or should you go? Walking away won’t feel like an option if you have already invested so much. The full moon in Scorpio may heighten your fears of the unknown, paranoia over leaving, and obsession with settling the score. Your best bet will be to count your losses. Move on with your life, since this gives you back the power and control you desperately crave.

💫 What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the Full Moon in Scorpio 2025

An agitated energy will create a feeling of unease all day long, and it won’t be entirely due to the full moon in Scorpio. Aside from this heavy lunation, Mercury in Taurus will square Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, which will occur at 3 degrees.

What does this mean, and how can we navigate this cosmic energy?

The tension between Mercury and Pluto retrograde will unearth age-old beef from the lunar cycle. You may have skirted around addressing something over the last six months. Passive-aggressive remarks, jabs, and more could have been thrown about. But calling a spade a spade may have been avoided. Perhaps you were afraid of a potential ending if you were to call something out, or maybe you feared being exposed in retaliation for exposing the truth. Regardless of what has held you back, the cosmic messenger and tiny but mighty planet will bring forth something once and for all. The best you can do is assume ownership where you need to, honor your truth, and go through this energy with the hope that you will come out of it better than before.

🌕 Tips & Tricks to Create Your Full Moon in Scorpio Ritual

How can you work with the full moon in Scorpio’s energy? Each lunation can be honored through various practices, rituals, and offerings. As this lunation approaches, you may want to align your lunar ritual with death, rebirth, taboos, and secrecy. Align your lunar magick with Scorpio’s correspondences, symbols, and more to amplify your full moon ritual.

Since Scorpio is a fixed water sign, this would be the perfect full moon to incorporate the water element into your lunar ritual. You could use water in a special goblet or ice to invoke Scorpio’s modality and element. Depending on where you live and what you have available to you, this could be a fantastic lunation for a swim. However, you could also bring the still water to your home by filling up the tub. Ideally, you should immerse or surround yourself with calm waters. Water can also be represented by its alchemical symbol, ▽, in your spellwork.

Scorpio’s energy can also be invoked through tarot cards, animals, and deities. The Death card in the major arcana would be perfect to add to your lunar ritual, especially if you want to let go of something once and for all during this lunation. Animals associated with Scorpio include the scorpion, eagle, phoenix, and gray lizard. If you wish to include a planetary motif, consider using a statue or symbol for Mars and Pluto. Additionally, you may feel called to pay homage to deities such as Hades, Neith, the Fates, Artemis, Osiris, Kali, and Hel.

Additionally, you may feel called to work with herbs, crystals, and colors associated with Scorpio. Pick up basil, sage, or nettle for your Scorpio-inspired spell work. Aside from herbs, you may feel called to use the powers of black tourmaline, bloodstone, and labradorite. If you feel called to use color magick, consider using black and blood red to represent Scorpio’s intense energy.
