May’s Scorpio Moon🌕: Embrace the Emotional Waves

The Power (and Intensity) of Scorpio Energy

Scorpio is one of the most emotionally charged and spiritually transformative signs of the zodiac. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of rebirth and the unseen, Scorpio is all about depth, passion, and uncovering hidden truths. When a full moon lands in this sign, you can expect emotional revelations, soul-deep introspection, and, yes—some turbulence.

Scorpio Strengths:

  • Deeply intuitive and emotionally intelligent
  • Fiercely loyal and protective of loved ones
  • Highly resourceful and resilient
  • Passionate, powerful, and intensely focused
  • Magnetic and mysterious—often draws people in without trying

Scorpio Challenges:

  • Can be secretive or emotionally guarded
  • Tends toward jealousy or possessiveness
  • Struggles with letting go or forgiving
  • Has a tendency to self-sabotage when feeling out of control
  • Prone to emotional extremes and power struggles

This full moon, Scorpio’s energy is illuminating those hidden corners within us—especially the emotional ones. Let’s explore how this energy might be affecting you, and more importantly, how you can work with it.

The Emotional Impact of May’s Full Moon 🌊

May’s full moon is bringing in sudden emotional turmoil. These are not light ripples—we’re talking waves. Some of you may be riding them with grace; others may feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water.

From hormonal imbalances and acne flare-ups to mood swings and kumbaya moments of spiritual clarity, the energetic theme is emotional duality. One minute you’re questioning your reality, the next you’re deeply immersed in it. It’s all part of the Scorpio experience.

If you identify as an empath, this moon is going to heighten your emotional sensitivity even more. For water and earth signs, this might be manageable. But air and fire signs may be feeling especially off-balance or overwhelmed by emotional outbursts and general life stress.

So, what now?

Grounding Practices for Scorpio’s Emotional High Tide

If May has felt emotionally rough, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Here are a few ways to ground, rebalance, and reconnect with yourself during this full moon.

🛁 1. Take a Calming Herbal Bath

Scorpio is a water sign, and immersing yourself in water is a beautiful way to align with its energy. Try one of my handcrafted herbal tea bath pouches—they’re curated for various needs like grounding, clarity, love, or good luck. Whether you’re seeking a floral soak or something more earthy, I’ve got a blend for that.

Pro Tip: My husband recently tucked his favorite bath blend, Wishes, under his pillow at night. The bed smelled incredible, and he slept peacefully. Add a small coin or trinket for an extra layer of manifestation energy.

đŸ„— 2. Reset with Mindful Nutrition

Your body and emotions are connected. Taking even small steps to clean up your nutrition can bring immediate results. Hydrate more, reach for whole foods, and give your digestive system some love. You don’t need a full cleanse—just replace that sugary drink with water or opt for a colorful plate at dinner.

Every small act of nourishment sends a message to your nervous system: you are safe, you are cared for.

🎹 3. Channel Your Emotions Through Creativity

If your emotions feel like they’re too much to sit with, try expressing them through movement or creativity. Draw, journal, paint, build something, go for a run—whatever helps get that stuck energy out of your body and onto the page or into the world.

Creative outlets are cathartic and often more accessible than silent meditation when you’re in emotional overdrive.

Your Full Moon Ritual Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

We’re told to meditate, and yes—meditation is powerful. But during a Scorpio full moon, when emotions are raw and our nervous systems are on high alert, stillness can be hard to access. That’s okay.

Before you calm your mind, calm your surroundings.

  • Soak in herbs.
  • Eat something vibrant and healthy.
  • Move your body in a way that feels good.
  • Create something meaningful.

Your ritual doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—it just needs to feel grounding and intentional to you.

Remember, you’re in control

The Scorpio full moon is intense for a reason—it’s here to help us let go of what no longer serves, and transform the emotional weight we’ve been carrying. Whether you’re floating peacefully or fighting the current, this is your opportunity to reclaim your emotional power.

Remember: You don’t need to fix everything in one night. You just need to show up for yourself with compassion and care.

Let the moonlight guide you—not overwhelm you. đŸ’«

🌕 Have a Lovely Full Moon, My Lovelies

I just wanted to share a little piece of my own full moon ritual with you. I went on a 2-hour walk to clear my head, followed it with a scalding hot shower (yes, borderline boiling đŸ« ), sipped on some grounding dandelion tea, and then cozied up for a Marvel movie night with my husband.

It wasn’t extravagant—but it was exactly what I needed.

Everyone’s self-care journey looks different. Whether it’s journaling, dancing around your room, crying it out, or binge-watching your comfort show—honor what feels right for you.

✹ I’d love to hear how you’re navigating the full moon energy. Drop a comment or share your ritual—your story might inspire someone else to find their own balance.

Wishing you peace, power, and a beautifully aligned moonlit night. 🌕
