What the Scorpio moon is unearthing in you
Nothing you uncover now is here to punish you.
The full moon cracked open something today, didn’t it?
Scorpio has that way of reaching into the drawer you swore was “handled” and placing the un-dealt-with thing right on the counter.
Sometimes it’s a buried truth.
Sometimes it’s a craving.
Sometimes it’s a boundary you’ve been quietly betraying.
Whatever surfaced for you? It’s not evidence of failure. It’s evidence of depth.
And this weekend is the moment to meet it head-on without collapsing into old stories or bracing for impact.
Let’s work with the moon instead of fighting the tide.
✨ SPELL
This ritual isn’t about belief. It’s about repair.
Capitalism has broken your relationship to time—flattened your rhythms, punished your rest, and convinced you every moment must be productive.
The moon disagrees.
Each new and full moon, I’ll hand you a small ritual. Not to “manifest” or optimize, but to reattune your body to a different pace. One that honors cycles, not calendars.
Pay attention to the moon. It’s not aesthetic—it’s antidote.
Scorpio Full Moon: The Extraction Rite
You’re not purging. You’re excavating.
Supplies:
Paper, pen, small bowl of water (optional: a stone or piece of metal to hold while you write)
Steps:
Sit quietly and name what came up this week. Not the whole narrative. Just the truth under the noise.
Write down one sentence that captures the real thing you’re ready to stop carrying.
Read it once. Out loud.
Submerge the paper briefly in the water. Just enough to blur the ink.
Say: What dissolves here frees me everywhere.
Let the paper dry and keep it somewhere private until the next lunar cycle. (This isn’t a spell of banishment. This is a spell of clarity.)
Scorpio moons don’t ask for purity. They ask for precision.
✊ HEX
You don’t need a rundown of the headlines. You’re living them. Whether you’re in the U.S. or just suffering under its ripple effects, the harm is real—and relentless.
This isn’t catharsis. It’s counter-spell.
Each HEX is a ritual of refusal—a channel for holy rage, spiritual disruption, and deliberate, directed dissent.
Here’s who we’re targeting. And what to do about it.
The Fire Has Always Been Political
Today is a lot of things at once.
It is Beltane. The ancient Celtic fire festival marking the midpoint between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. A day when the veil thins, when the sacred fires are lit, when life force peaks, and the earth asks you to celebrate being alive in a body on this planet.
It is Vesak. The holiest day in the Buddhist calendar, honoring the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. A day of compassion, of awakening, of the radical proposition that suffering is real and that liberation from it is possible.
It is the Scorpio Full Moon (exact today) illuminating everything we've been carrying in the deep: the grief, the rage, the desire, the truth we haven't said yet.
And it is May Day. International Workers' Day. The day that belongs to every person who has ever been told their labor is worth less than the profit it generates. The day that was born in blood in the Haymarket affair of 1886, when workers striking for an eight-hour workday were met with violence and then with execution. The day that the rest of the world marks with solidarity and that this country has spent a century trying to erase from memory.
Today, people are in the streets. (I’m in the streets today. Are you?) A general strike. A May Day protest. Workers choosing collective refusal over individual compliance.
These things are not separate from each other.
The fire of Beltane is the same fire that lit the torches of labor organizers. The compassion of Vesak is the same compassion that asks why some people work three jobs and still can't feed their children. The Scorpio Full Moon is the same energy that drags exploitation into the light and refuses to let it be called anything other than what it is.
The sacred has always been political. The political has always been sacred. We were just taught to keep them in separate rooms so neither one could reach its full power.
So today we do not separate them.
There is still so much to hex. We are not bypassing any of it. The cruelty is real. The stakes are real. The villains are real, and we will keep naming them.
But today we channel everything — the full moon, the fire, the awakening, the centuries of worker solidarity — into a single, directed blessing.
We bless the people in the streets today. We bless the workers who called in. We bless the ones who are scared and showed up anyway. We bless the ones who couldn't show up but are holding the intention from home. We bless every person who has ever chosen collective power over isolated compliance and paid a price for it.
And we hex the system that made that choice necessary.
We hex the billionaires who have confused their wealth with their worth. We hex the politicians who serve capital and call it public service. We hex the cultural mythology that tells workers their suffering is personal failure rather than structural design. We hex every force that has tried to make May Day disappear from American memory. Because you don't erase what you're not afraid of.
They were afraid of it then. They are afraid of it now. Good.
May the fires of Beltane burn through every lie that says this is just how it is. May the compassion of Vesak hold every worker who is exhausted beyond what any human should be asked to endure. May the Scorpio Full Moon illuminate every backroom deal, every wage theft, every NDA, every union-busting consultant who bills more per hour than the workers he's paid to silence make in a month.
And may the strikes hold. May the numbers be undeniable. May the people in the streets today feel, in their bodies, that they are not alone.
The candle stays lit tonight. For the workers. For the living. For the ones who knew, a hundred and forty years ago, that collective power was the only power that couldn't be bought.
They were right then. We are right now.
🔥 On Sacred Rage
The fire doesn't care whether you call it Beltane or solidarity. It burns the same. Light a candle for it all tonight, under the full moon, and send the blessings out for the emergence of a new era.
With you in it, not above it,
