“The only way the gods know we’re asking for help is ritual.” – Caroline Casey
Taurus and Scorpio are the two signs of the zodiac that are most closely associated with money. So if your finances are strained or life just isn’t giving you enough of what you want, the Scorpio Full Moon is the perfect time for a prosperity adjustment.
Prosperity is an exchange. It asks you to persuade others–send and unseen–that what you offer has value. Sometimes, this dance flows easily; other times, it feels as though something stands between you and what you need. That’s when you find yourself feeling blocked, or broke, or unable to do something that’s really important to you (like pay rent, for instance).
Does that mean what you offer isn’t valuable? I don’t think so. But I have noticed that simply being a nice person and good at what you do isn’t enough. Those who are wildly successful have some quality of attraction or seduction that makes others want to work with them/buy from them/be near them. Seduction relies on a kind of subliminal, mesmerizing persuasiveness. It’s characterized by the ability to hold others spellbound and desperate to please you. People who thrive tend to carry a certain magnetism.
This is where Scorpio comes in.
Scorpio understands attraction. It knows how to hold attention, how to stir desire, how to move energy beneath the surface. These qualities may not come naturally to you. They don’t come naturally to everyone. But everyone has Scorpio somewhere in their chart. And through Scorpio’s affinity with magic, ritual, and the unseen, you can learn to engage that magnetic field—to invite more of what you want into your life.
“The invisible world would like to help,” writes Casey, “but spiritual etiquette requires that we ask.”
Ritual is how we ask.
That doesn’t mean you need elaborate ceremonies or formal incantations. You might take this quite simply: asking for what you want—clearly, respectfully, and with intention—is itself a form of ritual. The key is to ask in a way that is alive, engaging, and sincere.
Before your Scorpio Full Moon ritual, take time to activate your most magnetic qualities.
In your birth chart, these are often shown by trines—the easy, flowing connections between planets. (If you’ve ever looked at your chart and noticed a triangle, you’ve seen one.) Trines describe what comes naturally to you—your gifts, your blessings, the traits that make life move more smoothly.
They are not flashy. But they are powerful.
I’m reminded of the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry is dating a very beautiful woman who gets anything she asks for. George comments, “Beautiful women. You know they could get away with murder….They get whatever they want whenever they want it. You can’t stop them!” Jerry agrees: “She’s like a beautiful Godzilla!” He soon learns to parlay his girlfriend’s powerful beauty for entrance to a sold-out movie and forgiveness of a speeding ticket.
That’s how trines work. They are beautiful Godzillas. So if you have planetary trines in your birth chart, send those planets to the gods to intercede on your behalf!
If you don’t know how to find the trines in your chart, don’t worry. They’re simply astrological symbols of the qualities that earn you compliments on a regular basis. “You’re so organized,” friends might tell you. Well, organize an excellent, precise, well-thought-out ritual. “You can always make me laugh.” Make the gods laugh—include a joke as part of your ritual. “Boy, can you put together an outfit!” Greet the gods gussied up in one of your most gorgeous ensembles.
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. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in my whole life who didn’t possess some element of charm or goodness. That includes you. In fact, because I’m always inclined to think especially well of my readers, you probably have boatloads of scintillating traits!
So at this Scorpio Full Moon, put those beautiful trines to work for you. They symbolize the qualities that draw others to you and prompt the universe to shower goodies on you. Make them your ambassadors of spiritual etiquette, asking for everything beautiful, valuable, and satisfying that your heart desires.
