There’s something undeniably magical about November 11 — the 11/11 Portal. It’s the moment the Universe opens a window for deep alignment and energy renewal. Numerologically, 11 represents spiritual awakening, intuition, and a call to walk your soul’s path with confidence.
And when this sacred day lands just before a New Moon in Scorpio (Nov 20), the invitation couldn’t be clearer: cleanse your energy, clear your mind, and prepare for transformation.
This isn’t about perfection or “manifesting on cue.” It’s about detoxing your spirit so you can receive what’s meant for you—without all the energetic noise.
🌙 Why You Feel Heavy Before the New Moon
The days before a new moon naturally stir up old emotions. You might feel tired, moody, or nostalgic for no reason. That’s not weakness; that’s release in progress. The lunar cycle is closing, and your energy body knows it’s time to reset.
On 11/11, this process is amplified. Think of it as a “spiritual system update.” Everything that’s not meant to come with you into the next moon cycle—old patterns, limiting beliefs, stagnant energy—is asking to be cleared.
The good news? You can do that gently.
🫧Ritual 1: The Cleansing Shower or Bath
If you do nothing else on 11/11, do this. Water is one of the most effective energy reset tools we have.
Try this simple ritual:
As you step into the shower or bath, imagine white light surrounding you.
Say aloud or silently: “I release all energy that isn’t mine. I return to peace, clarity, and strength.”
Visualize the water carrying away negativity and replacing it with calm golden light.
You can elevate this by using sea salt, herbs like rosemary or basil, or a few drops of essential oils (lavender or eucalyptus work wonders).
If you're looking for a ready-made tool, consider the Cleansing & Protection Ritual available on HealingCupCollective.etsy.com. It’s crafted to help you feel centred and spiritually protected during high-energy days like this.
🔥 Ritual 2: The Fire Release
Write down three things that feel heavy or out of alignment right now—habits, fears, situations, or even feelings. Fold the paper and hold it in your hands. Take a deep breath, then safely burn it (or tear it if burning isn’t an option).
While doing so, say: “I release what weighs me down. I welcome transformation with love and courage.”
This symbolic act clears your auric field and signals to the Universe that you’re ready to let go. Scorpio energy loves a good release—it’s how rebirth begins.
🌿 Ritual 3: Shield and Seal Your Energy
After you’ve cleansed and released, it’s essential to seal your energy field—think of it like setting spiritual boundaries.
Here’s how:
Sit quietly and visualize a golden or violet light expanding from your heart.
Envision it forming a radiant shield around you.
Repeat: “I am protected, grounded, and guided.”

💫 The 11/11 Manifestation Reset
Here’s the secret: you don’t have to “manifest hard” on 11/11. You just have to get clear. The Universe responds to open space, not cluttered energy.
So, instead of writing a long wish list, write a short one that answers this:
What am I ready to embody?
What emotions am I inviting in this new moon cycle?
Example: “I am embodying peace and self-trust. I am ready for aligned opportunities and balanced connections.”
That’s it. Keep it simple, heartfelt, and honest. The magic happens through alignment, not effort.
🌘 Final Thoughts
11/11 is your cosmic clean slate—a reset button before the New Moon and Sagittarius season brings new adventures. You don’t need to overthink it. A few intentional moments of release and self-care can shift everything.
Let this day remind you: you don’t have to hold on to what’s heavy. You are allowed to start fresh.
