Scorpio teaches us that every substance, every experience, every emotion carries the potential to be both poison and medicine, the difference lies in the dosage.
From the etymology of “poison” we learn that what harms can also heal, depending on how it is carried into the body. And “dosage” reminds us that healing is never generic: it is always relational, tuned to our own sensitivity, to the unconscious waters that Scorpio governs.
This Full Moon asks us to contemplate our intimacy with this truth: how we meet life’s intensities, whether we use them with awareness, abuse them through excess, or fall into addiction when we forget our own power to choose. Scorpio’s lunar light illuminates our cycles of death and transformation, reminding us that discernment is itself a sacred medicine.
Join our study under this Full Moon to observe your patterns of usage, abuse, and addiction, and how you might alchemize poison into medicine.
