Scorpio Full Moon Candle Ritual for Transformation
The Full Moon in Scorpio is known for its intense, emotional energy and potential for deep transformation. It’s a time when hidden feelings can rise to the surface, making it perfect for releasing old emotions, reclaiming personal power, and doing a bit of shadow work. Think of it as your personal phoenix moment (Scorpio is the sign of rebirth, after all) – an opportunity to shed what no longer serves you and emerge renewed.
At Bijou, we love harnessing this Scorpio full moon energy with a simple, intentional ritual. It’s modern and accessible (no elaborate spellbooks required), but still a little bit magical. This ritual uses our Piper • Crystal Incense Candle and Phoebe • Smoky Quartz Candle from the Charmed Collection to help you clear energy, dive deep, and transform under the moonlight.
Step 1: Cleanse Your Space
Start by clearing out any heavy or stagnant vibes in your environment. Crack open a window for some fresh air. Give your space a quick tidy or wipe-down – physical cleaning doubles as energetic cleaning. Now, light a candle with a cleansing, grounding scent—our Piper • Crystal Incense Candle is perfect for this. Piper’s aroma of orange blossom, jasmine, sweet amber, and a touch of oakmoss is like a soothing incense ritual in a jar. Let the warm, gentle fragrance fill the room as you take a few deep, centering breaths. This sets the stage and tells your energy field, “Alright, time to get cozy and clear.”
Step 2: Unearth Your Feelings
Next, grab your journal or a piece of paper. Under this Scorpio moon, don’t be surprised if big feelings or long-buried truths start bubbling up. Write down everything that comes to the surface – fears, resentments, desires, memories – whatever you feel ready to release or examine. No filter, no judgment. (No one else will read this, so be honest and raw.) This act of journaling is classic full moon therapy: it helps drag those shadows into the light.
Once you’ve spilled your soul onto the page, take a moment. Now light the Phoebe • Smoky Quartz Candle – a warm, smoky blend with notes of roasted chestnut, clove, and smoky embers. As Phoebe’s flame comes alive, read your journal entry out loud (if you’re comfortable). Acknowledge each feeling you wrote down: you’re facing your shadow head-on. As the candle flickers, visualize all that heavy energy beginning to shift – maybe imagine those emotions lifting away with the smoke or transforming into light. (Picture a phoenix rising from the ashes if you need a mental image.) This step is all about recognition and release.
Step 3: Ignite Transformation
With both candles now lit, sit for a few minutes and simply observe the flames. This is a quiet moment of reflection and empowerment. Feel the atmosphere you’ve created – cleansed by Piper’s soothing glow and charged by Phoebe’s mystical warmth. You might notice you feel lighter or more self-aware. You might even feel a spark of personal power, knowing you’ve confronted what’s been hiding in the shadows.
When you feel ready, gently extinguish your candles. (Tip: use a snuffer or wick dipper to avoid blowing them out – think of it as sealing in all that intention you just set.) Take your journal page of poured-out emotions and decide what to do with it. You can save it as a reminder of what you’re releasing, or dispose of it as a final act of letting go. Tearing it into tiny pieces or burying it in the earth are both cathartic options that symbolically say “bye-bye” to that old energy.
Now, take one more deep breath and give yourself credit. You’ve ridden the wave of the Scorpio full moon and done some serious emotional alchemy. Happy Full Moon, Candle Coven – you’ve earned this moment of transformation.
