It will be an emotionally heavy time for us all, but here are some self-care tips tailored for your rising sign to help you feel more emotionally secure and balanced during this Scorpio full moon energy.
♈ Aries Rising – Trust Your Intuition
Use methods of divination to work through your fears (I.e. Tarot, Scrying), Aries. Occult practices will help you reveal the truth in times of uncertainty. You have the psychic ability within you to get the answers you crave so trust your intuition at this time.
Do you have doubts about someone’s intentions? If so, you can get answers about their intentions simply by looking within. Doing so will help you feel more at ease.
♉ Taurus Rising – Evaluate Your Emotional Needs
Deeply reflect on your interpersonal needs at this time, Taurus. Honestly ask yourself: How do the people in my life make me feel?
Do the people in your life make you feel safe and secure, or do they leave you craving more? Ask yourself: What do I need from others right now?
If your needs are going unmet in your relationships, it’ll be time to let go of these connections. Affirming to yourself that your emotional needs are valid will attract the support you deserve. If no one else will offer that to you right now, speak kind words to yourself and pamper yourself as a way of showing yourself love.
♊ Gemini Rising – Regain Work-Life Balance
Are you working yourself into the ground right now, Gemini? Maybe you are so determined to hit targets at work that you have neglected other aspects of your life.
It’s time for you to schedule in some rest. Make time to focus on your hobbies, relationships, and friendships. Finding a good work-life balance will help you be more productive in the long run.
Another tip for you, Gemini, is to nurture your health through doing yoga or tai chi to release excess stress in your body. Eating intuitively, slowly and mindfully will achieve the same results.
♋ Cancer Rising – Rediscover Joy Through Play
What activity truly makes your heart sing with joy, Cancer? Whatever that may be, make time to do it for pleasure’s sake.
Don’t worry if you can’t monetise it or receive accolades for it. Do you want to paint but are worried about your lack of artistic technique? If so, paint anyway!
It doesn’t matter if you have talent or not—just do something because it’s fun to do! Do you remember when you were a child and you just did something for fun? It’s time to get into that energy again this Scorpio Full Moon, Cancer.
♌ Leo Rising – Create a Sanctuary at Home
Retreating in the privacy of your own home will be key to your mental wellbeing this Full Moon in Scorpio, Leo. Potter around your home and remove the excess clutter.
Scrub away the dirt that has been building up behind your furniture and redecorate if you feel the urge. Once your space is clear, get cosy and snuggle up with a book or a movie.
You’ll be surprised how good it feels to shut yourself away at home, even if it’s just for one day. You’ll benefit from doing online therapy from the comfort of your own home, Leo. You’ll feel a lot safer expressing your feelings here, which will help you heal.
♍ Virgo Rising – Write It Out
Your mind will be especially active this Full Moon in Scorpio, Virgo. It will be a prime time to write, document, and journal.
Doing so will help you process the strong emotions within you. Starting a diary will not only help you get a lot off your chest—it will help you see things from a new perspective and heal from your pain.
It will be a good time to connect with your siblings, if you have any. If your relationship with them is in any way toxic, it will be time to break free from those connections. If they are supportive, seek out their company at this time.
♎ Libra Rising – Declutter and Treat Yourself
It will be a good time to let go of any possessions you no longer want this Full Moon in Scorpio, Libra. Are you keeping items just because you’re attached to them?
If so, it’s time to donate or sell them. Purchase new items you’ve had your eye on as well. A fear of being wasteful with your money may have put you off from buying something you want.
You might be so intent on saving that you’ve forgotten why you’re saving. Dip into your savings and splurge on something you truly desire.
♏ Scorpio Rising – Protect Your Energy
Do whatever you need to protect your boundaries this Full Moon in Scorpio, Scorpio. You’ll be feeling especially sensitive at this time, so protect your space and assert clear boundaries between you and others.
Others may try to encroach on them, but feel free to say no to their requests. Engage in energy healing work, clear away any gunk that’s been building up in your aura, and practice energy protection rituals.
Don’t feel guilty for putting yourself first if you don’t have the energy to help others. You can’t pour from an empty cup—restore balance within yourself before you give to others.
♐ Sagittarius Rising – Detox from Emotional Overload
Engaging in meditative practices will help restore balance this Full Moon in Scorpio, Sagittarius. You’ll feel emotionally drained at this time, as you’ve had a lot to contend with recently.
You’ve been absorbing emotions like a sponge. Other people may have even been trauma dumping on you, impacting your mental state.
Taking time to reflect in solitude will help you release all the negative energies you’ve picked up on, helping you feel energized and clear-headed.
♑ Capricorn Rising – Build a Vision Board
You have a wonderful vision for how you want the world to look, Capricorn. This Full Moon in Scorpio will be a prime time to create a vision board or write about what you want to manifest.
It’s a good time to think about what you can do to make this happen. What habits, people, or situations do you need to remove in your life so your vision can materialize?
Engaging in charity work will help you feel good this Full Moon, Capricorn. It will remind you that you have the power within you to make the world a better place.
♒ Aquarius Rising – Follow Your Dreams
You’ll feel especially determined to climb the career ladder this Full Moon in Scorpio, Aquarius. Follow your instinct but leave behind the desire for power for power’s sake.
Remove yourself from toxic corporate culture. You don’t need to go against your values to succeed. Don’t feel pressured to compete or use underhanded tactics—doing so will only make you feel icky.
You can succeed by staying authentic. Follow your dreams, keep your head down and work hard and you’ll feel much better when you do.
♓ Pisces Rising – Expand Your Mind
Learning something new about the world will help you this Full Moon in Scorpio, Pisces. Travelling to a new country—or connecting with someone from a distant land—can expand your worldview.
