RITUAL GUIDE: November 9: Alchemize the Lion’s Shadow Into Creative Potential

Posted by Chelsy Lugo on

Something fierce is moving through the sky this week! Between November 1st and November 24th, Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node of Destiny converge in Leo - and this week marks their exact peak. This is one of the most combustible alignments of 2026, igniting everything Leo rules:  passion, creativity, ego, drama, and the hunger to be seen and acknowledged. At its highest vibration, this triple conjunction is pure creative fire. At its lowest, it can manifest as anger, excess, or energy burning in the wrong direction.

The invitation is not to suppress the fire; it is to alchemize it. Leo's shadow holds the wounds around recognition and the exhausting performance of being someone you are not. This conjunction burns through all of it, leaving only what is authentically, unapologetically yours. Pay attention to what this week illuminates, because these energies are not finished this month. When Mars stations retrograde at the beginning of 2027, everything activated now returns doubled. This ritual goes beyond just honoring November; it is preparation for the first quarter of 2027. 

 Mars, Jupiter & the South Node in Leo Ritual 

You will need Orange Water, the Hyssop Herb Magic Bag - Bad Spirit Remover, five orange Spirit Meditation Ritual Mini Candles, and a cloth. 

DRESS each candle with the orange water, rolling it between your palms. 

DROP the herbs from the Hyssop Herb Magic Bag onto the cloth as you roll each one of the candles in it, coating them with purifying, spirit-cleansing energy. 

ARRANGE the five candles in a circle large enough to sit inside. Place one at each of the four directions and one directly in front of you. 

STEP inside the circle and light each candle, moving clockwise. As the flames rise around you, feel the fire of Mars, Jupiter, and the South Node activating your aura. 

CLOSE your eyes and visualize all anger, excess, and stagnant creative energy lifting from your body and being absorbed by the five flames. Watch it transform from dense, heavy matter into pure golden light pouring back into your heart. 

SPEAK your mantra aloud five times, once per candle: “I release what burns without purpose. I channel my fire into creation. My passion is my power, and I direct it with intention, courage, and sovereign will.” 

REMAIN inside the circle until the candles burn down completely. What rises from the ashes is yours to build with in 2027.
