Before performing whatever ritual you have planned at this Scorpio Full Moon, activate your most magnetic qualities. If you were going for a job interview or applying for a loan at the bank, you’d put your very best self forward. Do the same with your lunar rituals.

Whatever is transpiring personally or globally, be sure to keep your feet on the ground, spend time in nature, tune into your body wisdom, and maintain an open mind.
