Shedding Skin while Embracing Depth | Full Moon in Scorpio

As the full moon rises on this late spring night, the world around us feels fragrant, fertile, and alive. This is the Flower Moon—the name given to May’s full moon coming on the 12th, when blossoms are in full bloom and the earth stretches open after a long winter’s rest. It’s a time of natural abundance, of color and scent and life unfurling in every direction.

But under this lush and blossoming sky, the moon sits in Scorpio—a sign of deep emotion, shadow work, and transformation. While the earth blooms, our inner world is called to do the same.

Scorpio doesn’t deal in surface beauty. It wants the truth—the raw, emotional, powerful kind. And under this full moon, we’re invited to shed the old skins we’ve outgrown, to make room for something new and real to rise.

Full moons are always a time of culmination and release, and Scorpio takes that even further. It asks us to get honest with ourselves. What patterns, stories, or fears have run their course? What needs to die so something more true can live?

Try this simple mindful ritual:

Light a candle, for this ritual we recommend Feral Soul, Petal + Glow, and Northern Moon.

Write down one thing you’re ready to release—an old story, a toxic pattern, a fear.

Hold it close to your heart. Speak it aloud. Then safely burn or bury it. Letting it go, to move on tending your flame forward.

Imagine your spirit softening as the weight lifts, and fly as a butterfly would just coming gently out of a cocoon. Just as a snake would be shedding its old skin.

The Scorpio moon reminds us that we are not meant to stay the same. We are here to deepen, to evolve, to feel. And through that feeling, we find freedom.

So during the fullness of the moon, let yourself be transformed. Let the Scorpio moon guide you beneath the surface, into the deep waters where truth lives—and let that truth set you free.

Candle Recommendations: Feral Soul, Petal + Glow, Northern Moon.
