This month's full moon is in Scorpio, and it is rare because it is the 2nd full moon in Scorpio this year (the last being April 20, 2008--yes 420, folks). Usually there is only 1 full moon in each sign each year (12 months, 12 signs), so this makes this Scorpio full moon fairly intense. And Scorpio is no meek sign to begin with! Note that the Moon in SCORPIO is the best time for spells involving power, psychic growth, sex; healing of the reproductive organs.
If you read the postings below taken from some of my favorite horoscope websites, you will see that this full moon is not only extra evocative because it's a repeat full moon but it's also a second chance for us to let go of old hurts and old issues that we can't let go of. It's making us face emotions by putting our issues in our face to deal with. I feel like this full moon is particularly speaking to me and is raising my biggest issues to the surface so I can release them. It's a process but I hope this can inspire you to do the same.
I've included a full moon ritual that I believe everyone regardless of their religious/spiritual affiliation can use or at least reflect upon. The moon is our goddess; a nightly blessing for us goddesses here on earth. Show her some love...smile, shout, howl at her! (It's really fun to howl at the moon...try it) Most importantly, don't forget to thank her and show her your love.
and finally...y'all know I love a music video...that's your prize at the end for educating yourself on the power of the full moon. (though it's my first time seeing the video for this song I've loved for a while...i'm a little disappointed though the afro chick is dope)
Yasminboland.com: As the Moon swells, so often do peoples’ emotions. When the Moon is full in Scorpio, the feelings which come to the surface can be super-passionate and intense. So today and tonight, keep a check on yourself. If you sense you’re getting over-wrought, ask yourself if it’s really justified or if perhaps it’s the Full Moon puffing yours feelings up. If in doubt, count to 10 and try to put off show-downs and dramas until tomorrow.
Cainer.com: The Moon is full. That explains it all. The dramas that arose over the weekend, the arguments that remain unresolved today. The minor matters which are starting to seem so major and the increased emotion we can all feel. It's not just any old full moon, either. Due to unusual celestial circumstances, it's full in the same sign as it was last month. No wonder some of us feel as if we've been dealing with the same issues for ages. The Full Moon 'completes' in the early hours of tomorrow [GMT 2.11AM*]. After that, we should all feel a little better.

Astrowisdom.com: This year we are graced with a second Full Moon in Scorpio, which is part of a grand square with Sun/Venus in Taurus, Saturn in Virgo and
Saturn in Virgo rules a strict adherence to tireless, selfless work for the healing of others. And Sun/Venus in Taurus is all about the individual effort each of us puts into making change happen. Jupiter in Capricorn is telling us that conservation of resources can be enlivening and life-affirming, especially if we are willing to give up the old ideas South Node in Leo ideas of instant gratification of desires, and step firmly into the Uranus in Pisces stream of pure conscious awareness. The ordinary is extraordinary if you are willing to be present fully for it.
How much longer can you say it is someone else’s responsibility or feel powerless to change the world? How much more can you blame others for your own condition? How many more times can you call yourself a victim without looking at your own ability to just let go and heal? Yes, Scorpio is tough love incarnate: see it as it is, not as you wish it to be, and then deal with it in as life-supporting a way as possible. We can each in every moment make the choice to be real and responsible for what we output to our loved ones and coworkers and community.
You are being given one more ritual chance this year to release attachment to old pain and arise like a phoenix from the ashes of burned off karma; freed from narcissistic self-obsession and ready to help others heal their own pain. You have the power to change! Visualize yourself as a snake, shedding its dead skin to reveal gleaming new colors.
The Full Moon in Scorpio is a powerful time for family ritual, especially with Mercury in Gemini, the communicator of the zodiac. Speaking your truth while open your mind to other viewpoints works magic for bridging gaps and bringing people together. Try passing around a talking stick, allowing everyone to speak without interruption about whatever is on his or her mind, and in his or her heart. Remember that on any Full Moon, the Moon is reflecting the light of the Sun in its opposite sign. The reflected light of the Taurus Sun is aglow with the love of and deep commitment to family values. Taurus likes hard work, and opening the lines of communication can be very hard, but ultimately very rewarding. This is especially true when issues of self-esteem (Taurus) lie at the heart of a family’s problems with trust (Scorpio) issues.
This is also a great time for couples to tackle trust issues, especially if a secret has been coming between the two of you. The aforementioned configurations will make this an intense night to reveal secrets and deal with the consequences, but the planets in water signs will provide enough empathy and love to get through it. Scorpio can bring destruction or relief and most times a bit of both. Just know that no matter what happens change is essential for evolution and growth. Remember that radical change done appropriately can lead to more solid relationships built upon openness and unconditional love. At its core, Taurus/Scorpio wants to love. Yes, Taurus can be judgmental, boorish, and opinionated and Scorpio can be too intense and demanding; but both signs eventually come around through an overwhelming need to love and give care. The Taurus/Scorpio polarity requires that we learn about our power and then discover how to deal with it effectively.
So meet the challenge of this Full Moon in Scorpio. Go deep enough to face the underbelly of your life, your goals, your community, your nation, your government, and then arise to embrace your power to transform our violence-wary world!
and a thousand other names
Goddess of Silver Love
Shine upon me in your fullness
Turn my darkness into light
I draw you down...within...
that I may share your wisdom
with my sisters,
my brothers of the earth.
I offer you my prisms, my amulets
and I beseech you,
charge them with power
that only you can emit.
Hear me,
Goddess of the Moon!
Reveal to me the mysteries
Of starlight and moonbeams
Of Universal Light
Of faeries and gnomes and angels
This is my will.
So shall it be done.
