Scorpio Full Moon Tarot Spread: Shadow into Sovereignty

  • 7 days ago

We pulled this spread under the Scorpio Full Moon—and something cracked open.

There’s a specific kind of truth this moon brings. It doesn’t arrive softly, but it arrives precisely. With clarity. With heat. With permission to release what’s dead, and reclaim what’s still alive inside us.

We’re based in Australia, so our full moon arrived earlier than in other parts of the world. But lunar energy lingers—it ripples outward. The invitation to reflect, release, and rise is still open, no matter where you are.

We created this spread to guide us through the next lunar cycle.

A black and rust-red illustrated profile of the Lilith’s Lantern tarot deck. In the center, a coiled snake wraps around a lantern with a glowing flame. Above it, a crescent moon. The text describes the deck’s essence: born of exile and witchfire, speaking in cracked mirrors and moonlit defiance. It is summoned by hard questions and the ache to reclaim what was stolen. It walks best with rituals of reclamation, waning moon readings, and clients confronting fear. It is not for polite magic or those afraid of their own reflection. A quote at the bottom reads: “I will not lie to you. I will not save you. But I will stand beside you while you burn the cage.” Its gifts are fierce clarity, sacred refusal, and unapologetic flame.

We read with Ask the Witch Tarot: Wisdom from a Timeless Coven We Call Lilith’s Lantern (Rockpool Publishing), edited by Francesca Matteoni and illustrated by Simone Pace.

This deck was born of witchfire and exile—crafted for the space between breath and decision. It speaks in cracked mirrors, bone-white dreams, and moonlit defiance. It walks best with rituals of reclamation and readings that whisper with ancestral ache. It doesn't offer pretty answers—it offers fierce clarity. Sacred refusal. Unapologetic flame.


It was from this deck that the Cumaean Sibyl appeared, carrying the voice of the High Priestess through the veil.

Scorpio isn’t just the sign of endings—it’s the sign of rebirth, of emotional depth, and power that’s been buried too long. This spread is a companion through that transformation.

The Spread: Shadow into Sovereignty

  1. What part of me is ready to die?

  2. What grief or truth have I buried too long?

  3. Where am I giving away my power?

  4. What truth do I fear—but need to face?

  5. Where does my rebirth want to begin?

  6. What secret strength supports me through this transformation?

    A dark red background with a faint scorpion outline and a glowing full moon in the upper corner. Six tarot cards are arranged in a spiral shape across the image, with glowing golden text labeling each position. The spread is titled “Scorpio Full Moon Spread: Shadow into Sovereignty.” Prompts include releasing, buried truth, power loss, fear, rebirth, and hidden strength. The design evokes mystery, transformation, and emotional depth—matching the Scorpio Moon’s energy.

The Final Card

To close the spread, the final card drew our focus:

Card 6: What secret strength supports me through this transformation?The High Priestess — Cumaean Sibyl.

In this deck, she appears as the Cumaean Sibyl—an ancient oracle who lived on the threshold between the living and the dead. She was granted immortality by Apollo, but not eternal youth. Her body withered while her wisdom grew. Her knowledge doesn’t come in the form of direct answers. She speaks in dreams. In silence. In the rustle of memory and the weight of inherited wisdom. She is a voice that survives even after the body disappears—an echo among rocks.

This card came through as guidance through the invisible. The Sibyl reminds us that the High Priestess doesn’t just guard the boundary between seen and unseen—she invites us to cross it. Not with logic, but with trust.

Her presence was a call to ancestral connection and intuitive remembering—an invitation to listen not with the mind, but with the soul. She came last to remind us:Your strength is not loud. It is listening. It is enduring. It is knowing when to wait. And that kind of strength will carry us through the transformation ahead.

And under a Scorpio Moon, that’s everything.

Try the Spread

You don’t have to pull it at the exact moment of the full moon. The energy lingers. The invitation is still open.

Sit with your cards. Light a candle. Breathe. Let whatever needs to speak come through.

And if you try it, let us know what surfaced. We’d love to witness it with you.
