Since personally I have lots of fixed and water energy in my natal chart, this one hit especially.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019re in the know about the astrology, a small moment of meditating on the energy and reciting this mantra (spell) might just shift something for you. Like most Scorpio energy, it knows what it wants. If you\u2019re feeling sure about the \u2018what,\u2019 work in gratitude for that energy from the cosmos. You can simply recite it over morning coffee or light a candle at your altar. You decide.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Beneath the Scorpio moon<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I turn the soil of what I hide.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Let truth take root in the dark;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Let what is ready rise.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I meet my depths with courage,<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Leave with only what is mine.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be spending some time this morning under Grandmother Willow to do my own spellwork, under that sliver of silver in the sky (moon rise today near me is ~ 0802 hrs.).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if that\u2019s not enough magic for you for the week, be sure you catch up with all the magic I published last week, including the<u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/RunaTroy\/posts\/under-willow-day-174614683\" target=\"_blank\"> New Moon Rune Cast,<\/a><\/u> the latest <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/RunaTroy\/posts\/in-witchs-garden-174589236\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Covenant lesson<\/a><\/u>, and the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/RunaTroy\/posts\/witches-of-multi-174597998\" target=\"_blank\">Witches of Letters Creativity Prompt<\/a><\/u>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A wild flower garden in autumn featuring poppies and drying yarrow with the Cascade mountain Komo Kulshan in the background. \" src=\"https:\/\/c10.patreonusercontent.com\/4\/patreon-media\/p\/post\/174845077\/fe5525f66e8e46ef9991a8d2fe8050e7\/eyJhIjoxLCJ3Ijo4MjB9\/1.jpeg?token-hash=49sS8LgJpSvLkHRk7HFZ0dvzkZqYUPyYLN1t-nL3Fr0%3D&amp;token-time=1795824000\" \/>There are still flowers blooming in the garden, but some are starting to bend to the autumn weather.
