Moon wishing is more than simply whispering your dreams to the night sky; it's about aligning your heart's deepest intentions with the rhythmic ebb and flow of the universe. As you gaze upward, know that you're communicating with a cosmos that thrives on abundance. The universe isn't scarce—it generously grants our wishes without diminishing the dreams of others. Every intention you set amplifies the collective harmony, creating a symphony of fulfilled desires and infinite possibilities.

This May 12th, the cosmos gifts us with a potent Scorpio Full Moon, rising at 8:57 PM EDT in the Syracuse area and reaching its peak at 12:56 PM EDT. This intense lunar phase is ripe for emotional revelation and profound transformation. Scorpio energy swims up from deep beneath the surface, prompting us to confront and lovingly release outdated fears, patterns, and emotional baggage. Opposing the Sun in steadfast Taurus, this Full Moon challenges us to find a meaningful balance between our tangible needs and the emotional depth we often shy away from. Coupled with Uranus’s proximity to the Sun, anticipate surprising revelations and spontaneous shifts that encourage you to rethink your values, relationships, and financial foundations.

Mercury's challenging conversation with Pluto adds intensity to our communications, urging honesty and transformative dialogue. Be mindful of your words—express your truth clearly but compassionately, ensuring conversations lead to growth rather than conflict. With Saturn aligned with the North Node in soulful Pisces, this lunar event gently nudges you towards emotional maturity and the fulfillment of your soul’s purpose.

Harnessing Scorpio's transformative water energy, this Full Moon is the perfect opportunity to engage in a deeply cleansing ritual. Set the mood with intention and care, creating a sacred space that allows your emotions to flow freely. Here's a gentle guide to your Scorpio Full Moon ritual:

• Gather your elements: Scorpio is a water element. Begin with a tranquil bowl of water, a journal and pen. 
• Center yourself: Sit comfortably and breathe deeply. Invite the moon’s illumination to shine on your emotional landscape. Let your thoughts settle like silt in still water.
• Write what you're releasing: In your journal, gently list the fears, relationships, habits, or stories you're ready to release. Don’t rush—this is an act of emotional honesty.
• Symbolic water release: One by one, hold those thoughts in your mind and imagine placing them into the water. Visualize the energy dissolving, purifying, and transforming—carried away by the current of your intention. (If you can stand to tear the page from your journal; rip it out! -satisfying- Tear it to bits and dissolve it in your bowl of water.)
• Return the water to nature: When you're ready, offer the water back to the earth. Let the ritual end with a feeling of closure, knowing that the universe will take what you’ve released and recycle it into wisdom and strength.

This sacred act of surrender and renewal connects you to the deeper emotional tides of the Full Moon in Scorpio. Let it wash over you with healing grace.

Carry forward Scorpio’s powerful energy through mantras that speak directly to your soul. Let these phrases become daily affirmations, guiding your emotions and thoughts as you flow with the moon's pull toward transformation and renewal:

"I embrace transformation, trusting the journey of my soul." Say this to anchor yourself in trust, knowing that even when the road feels uncertain, you're exactly where you need to be.

"With each breath, I release the old and welcome the new." Let this be your gentle reminder that change is not only natural, but necessary. Every breath is a chance to begin again.

"My truth is my power; I speak it with confidence and grace." This mantra encourages you to honor your voice and speak from your authentic center—because when you do, the universe listens.

Repeat these mantras as you move through the days ahead, carrying the depth of Scorpio’s wisdom all the way to the bright new beginnings promised by the Gemini New Moon on May 26th.

Now is your moment to wade through the depths of your emotional wisdom, especially if your moon sign is Scorpio. This is your Master Wish period—an optimal time to set powerful intentions that echo from your core desires. Trust the universe to provide signs along your path; all you have to do is remain open and follow them diligently. Remember, manifestation is not passive—it's an active partnership with the cosmos. Do your part and watch the life you dream of unfold before your eyes.
