As the sun moves through Scorpio’s transformative waters (October 23 – November 21), we’re invited to confront the shadows lurking in our subconscious. This zodiac season thrives on intensity, rebirth, and unflinching self-discovery—a potent time for shadow work. Paired with Lapis Lazuli, the ancient stone of cosmic truth, we can courageously navigate the depths of our inner worlds. Let’s explore how to craft a Scorpio-season shadow work ritual to reveal hidden wounds and reclaim your power.

Why Lapis Lazuli for Shadow Work?

Lapis Lazuli, with its celestial indigo hues flecked with golden pyrite, has been revered for millennia as a stone of wisdom and revelation. Its metaphysical properties make it a perfect ally for shadow work:

• Third Eye Activation: Enhances intuition, helping you perceive subconscious patterns.
• Truth Amplification: Dispels illusions and reveals authentic emotions buried beneath fear or shame.
• Emotional Alchemy: Supports transformation of repressed anger or grief into self-compassion.
• Throat Chakra Connection: Encourages honest dialogue with the self, essential for shadow integration.

Scorpio’s Call: Facing the Shadow Self

Scorpio governs the 8th house of taboo, vulnerability, and rebirth. During this season, the veil between our conscious and unconscious minds thins, making it ripe for confronting suppressed:

• Childhood wounds that shaped limiting beliefs
• Unprocessed traumas or betrayals
• ”Unacceptable” emotions like jealousy or rage
• Self-sabotaging patterns masked as coping mechanisms

The Ritual: Lapis Lazuli Shadow Work Prompt

You’ll Need:

• Lapis Lazuli stone or jewelry (cleansed)
• Journal and pen
• Black candle (representing shadow illumination)
• Quartz Pendulum (optional for clarity)

Step 1: Grounding with Lapis Energy

Hold your Lapis Lazuli in your non-dominant hand. Light the black candle and recite: “Guided by Scorpio’s light, I welcome the shadows. Lapis reveal what I’m ready to heal.” Visualize its blue-gold energy forming a protective circle around you.

Step 2: Journaling Prompts for Depth

With the Lapis nearby, explore these questions. Don’t censor—let Scorpio’s raw honesty flow:

• What emotion do I avoid feeling, and where does it live in my body?
• What version of me feels “unlovable”? What story created that belief?
• When have I betrayed my own boundaries to please others?

Pair your practice with the Prosperity & Abundance Bracelet to stay anchored in self-worth during this vulnerable work.

Step 3: Pendulum Dialogue (Optional)

If using a pendulum, hold your Lapis and ask: “What shadow aspect is most urgent to address?” Observe its swing. Later, journal about the revealed theme.

Step 4: Integration & Compassion

Place the Lapis over your heart. Whisper: “I honor every hidden part. My shadows make me whole.” Wear Super Seven Quartz Bracelet afterward to harmonize unlocked energies.

Complementary Practices for Scorpio Season

• Full Moon Release: Pair Lapis with Aquamarine during November’s full moon to cleanse emotional residue.
• Dream Work: Keep Lapis under your pillow to decode shadow messages in dreams.
• Scorpio Mantra: “In darkness, I find my infinite light.”

A Note on Shadow Work Safety

Shadow diving can unearth intense emotions. If overwhelmed, place Lapis Lazuli in moonlight with a selenite plate overnight. Seek support from trusted healers when needed.

This Scorpio season, let Lapis Lazuli be your compass through the underworld of the psyche. What waits in the shadows isn’t a monster—it’s a disowned fragment of your soul, ready to be embraced. As the phoenix rises from ashes, so too can we emerge from this work with renewed wholeness.
