Forgiveness and Shadow Work in Scorpio Season: How Letting Go Opens the Door to Blessings
Scorpio season always brings truth to the surface. It’s the time of year when the shadows rise, when we’re invited to look at what we’ve been avoiding, release what no longer serves us, and rebirth into something softer, freer, more whole.
For me, this season has been a mirror.
During a conversation with my mentor, I realised something that hit me deeply:
I was blocking my own blessings by holding onto hurt, pain, and resentment from my past.
I thought I’d moved on. But in truth, I was still carrying the weight of stories that weren’t mine to hold anymore.
The Shadow Side of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a word we hear often in the healing space, but it’s also one of the hardest things to embody.
Because forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting.
It doesn’t mean excusing someone’s behaviour.
It means choosing to free yourself from the emotional charge that keeps you stuck in old energy.
In Scorpio season, a time ruled by transformation, emotional depth, and rebirth, forgiveness becomes a form of shadow work.
It’s about facing what’s been buried, feeling the pain, and allowing it to dissolve.
The “Let Them” Theory and Energetic Release
As I reflected on the people and memories I was still tethered to, I remembered a phrase that changed everything:
Let them.
Let them go.
Let them leave.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them move on.
Let them choose someone else.
Holding on keeps you in survival mode. Letting go brings you back into your power.
This simple reminder helped me soften my grip, to stop trying to fix, chase, or prove, and instead, to trust that what’s meant for me will never need convincing.
Healing Through Forgiveness: The Ho’oponopono Prayer
That night, I turned to a spiritual practice that has always grounded me, the Ho’oponopono prayer, a traditional Hawaiian method of reconciliation and forgiveness.
It goes like this:
I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
As I repeated each line, I visualised releasing everyone I was still energetically holding onto and forgiving myself, too, for carrying the pain for so long.
Something shifted in my body.
My breath deepened. My chest softened.
I could feel the energetic release.
Forgiveness, I’ve learned, isn’t a one-time act. It’s a daily choice, to unhook from old stories, to come back into your body, and to make space for new blessings to flow in.
Forgiveness as a Somatic and Spiritual Detox
When we hold onto resentment, our bodies hold it too.
Tight shoulders. Heavy chests. Emotional exhaustion.
That’s why forgiveness isn’t just emotional, it’s somatic.
The moment you truly let go, your nervous system feels it.
You shift from fight-or-flight to flow.
From protection to peace.
Scorpio season reminds us that endings are sacred.
When you release what’s no longer aligned, you don’t lose, you create space.
A Simple Forgiveness Ritual to Try
If you’ve been feeling heavy or stuck, try this today:
Light a candle or sit somewhere quiet.
Close your eyes and bring to mind someone or something you’re ready to release.
Whisper the Ho’oponopono prayer:
I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.Visualise the energy leaving your body and dissolving into light.
Breathe deeply and notice how your body feels.
Forgiveness is not weakness, it’s energetic freedom.
Let Them Go, and Let Peace In
Scorpio season is an invitation to shed, to release what’s heavy and step into deeper alignment.
The more we hold on to pain, the less space we have for blessings.
So this season, I’m choosing to let them go.
To let life flow.
To let peace find me again.
