Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12: Rituals, Releases, and Magical Transformation

Introduction :

On May 12, the full moon slips into the deep waters of Scorpio , and you might as well be warned right away: it's not coming to play on the surface.
This full moon is the priestess of shadow, the one who comes to rummage through locked drawers, to break open emotional locks and reveal what is rotting in silence.
But be careful: this is not a punishment, it is a sacred purge .

It's time to let die what must die and finally be reborn in an upgraded version. Witch 2.0. Unlimited power. Purified tears. Intuition at the peak.

The energies of this full moon:

Scorpio is a fixed, intense water sign, ruled by Pluto , planet of symbolic deaths, transformations and the deep unconscious.
Suffice to say that this full moon is hitting hard where it hurts.

You might feel:

• Emotional hypersensitivity

• A resurfacing of old wounds

• A need for solitude or, on the contrary, for very deep intimacy

• Very clear, almost brutal intuitions

But all this isn't there to sabotage you. It's there to reveal you.
And so that you can finally say: “I don’t want that anymore.”
And above all: “I choose something else.”

What this full moon is telling us:

“Be honest with yourself. Even if it hurts. Even if it’s ugly.”

“Burn bridges, not candles.”

“Transformation isn’t a facial. It’s a ritual of inner fire.”

It is a moon of energetic closure , of rupture , but also of personal power .
This is the perfect time to perform a banishing ritual , cut a toxic connection, unleash a self-sabotaging thought pattern, or... say goodbye to your ex who always comes back when Mercury is retrograde.

Powerful rituals for this full moon:

1. Liberation ritual with fire (aka “get out and let it jump”)

You will need:

• With a pen and paper

• Of a black, purple or white candle (the one that calls you)

• A heat-resistant container (or a cauldron if you're stylish)

Steps:

• Write down everything you want to release: situations, people, emotions, fears.

• Light the candle and set your intention: “I release what holds me back.”

• Burn the paper. Watch the flames transform everything. Breathe. Feel.

Little bonus: use Lili Sélénée's Bye Bye Toxic Love magic oil on your wrists before the ritual to amplify the effect.

2. Purifying bath (or sacred shower)

Don't have a bathtub? No worries. Intention is the real magic.

Ingredients :

• Salt, bay leaf, rosemary, dried lavender

• A few drops of lavender or ylang-ylang essential oil

• A subdued atmosphere (candles, slow witchy playlist)

Ritual:

• Visualize the water as lunar water enveloping you.

• Say (or think): "I let go of what no longer has a place in my life. I honor myself, I purify myself, I choose myself."

At the end, say thank you. To the water, to you, to the moon.

3. Special lunar transformation draw

No need for a 15-card draw.
Just 3 questions asked under the moonlight:

1. What should I let die?

2. What should I face?

3. What is reborn in me?

You can write down your answers in your grimoire or incorporate them into a sacred writing ritual.

Conclusion :

The full moon in Scorpio doesn't ask you to be perfect. It asks you to be raw, real, alive .
She wants your transformation , not your facade.
She comes to help you say, “Enough.” And open yourself up to a more powerful version of yourself.

And you know what?
You don't even need a dragonhide grimoire for that.
You just need yourself, a little fire, and a crazy desire to finally be free .
