Natal Moon in Scorpio
When it comes to astrology, the planets can be “comfortable” in certain signs, and less comfortable in others. The Moon particularly loves being in Cancer and Taurus, though fares less well in Capricorn and Scorpio, the signs opposite to her natural “home”.
Hence, if you have a Scorpio Moon, it’s likely that you have faced some intense difficulties in your life, especially on an emotional level, but also on a domestic one – for example, your relationships to your partner or family. It’s important for a Scorpio Moon to feel extremely safe, nourished and loved, especially in your more difficult emotional moments, as your greatest fear can be one of abandonment – though you’ll never show it. Scorpio is a fixed sign, meaning you can control your feelings very well indeed, though you may struggle to let them flow and change. A grudge can be held forever, yet in the same vein, you can love deeply, and for a very, very long time.
With Scorpio being a water sign, your feelings run deep, like a vast, still lake. On the surface, you may appear very together and calm, yet beneath your cool, somewhat remote attitude, there’s are always powerful emotions churning. It takes very long for someone to get to know what those feelings are, and you may take a while to truly open up and allow someone into your very sensitive and vulnerable heart. Once you do, only that person or a few chosen people get to see the intensity that is you. More often though, you tend to withdraw and need time on your own to process things, and may need a very understanding partner for that.
Having a Scorpio Moon also means you have a “sting”. When you are hurt, you may seldom show it, and instead react with a sharp attack, to protect your feelings. You may inadvertently hurt others around you, though if someone has betrayed you intentionally, you will not hold back! You expect complete loyalty and give the same in return.
One thing you’ll have to watch for in life is a potential, powerful need to control the feelings or actions of others around you. This may be due to having been controlled, perhaps through your mother or another female figure in your life. Your mom or family may have a strong hold on you, and your challenge is to break free of that, as well as allow others room and space to feel how they are feeling, and not to hold on so tightly. When you surrender and let go, you will allow others to do the same and may find that life becomes less dramatic.
Speaking of drama, when you do show your heart, you show it without restraint. You either love very deeply indeed, or you hate very strongly, sometimes without much of a distinction between the two. Your emotions are extreme, and you may come across as overly dramatic at times – yet the ones who love you will be able to hold that space and understand that this is a part of you.
On the home front, you need total surety and security – your home is your haven, a place to contain your intense energies and keep the rest of the world out when you need time for yourself. You’ll likely keep your home a place of family and close friends only, and may be less inclined to entertain too much in your private space Privacy as a theme is very important for you in general, and is something you need often!
Many Scorpio Moons need that privacy in their workplace, space to investigate and explore. Scorpio Moon people can make excellent psychologists, as you are unafraid of the “dark” in others, having witnessed your own darkness up close and personal. You’re also a remarkably trustworthy person, and keep your secrets very close indeed, as well as the secrets of others. You don’t easily reveal what this one or the other had to say, though you’ll keenly pick up what others are saying and store it in your extremely retentive memory. You may get quite obsessed with certain subjects, and it’s important for you to have a mental focus to throw your energy at, lest you overthink and create problems where there are none. Being a Scorpio Moon also means being very ambitious, and needing to wield a great deal of power in the workplace – which you often do! You’re great at picking up subtleties and using them to your advantage when needed.
Scorpio Moon people also love crime dramas, and are born investigators! You’re highly intuitive, and it’s almost impossible to hide a secret from you – your partner will need to be sure not to try and hide anything from you, as you will generally pick things up very instinctively. That said, try not to be too paranoid, as some Scorpio Moon types may see shadows lurking around every corner – being so fearful of betrayal can leave you feeling driven to know absolutely everything about your partner, which can feel somewhat invasive at times.
When you’re settled and secure in love – you really desire to be in a relationship – you are steadfast, loyal and strong. You understand your partner like no one else, and you give off a slightly mysterious, very sexy energy. Your sexuality is important to you, as is passion and attraction, and so you’ll always keep your relationships interesting! You love to transform yourself often, and often attract huge life experiences which allow for this constant and dramatic change. This may feel, at times, in conflict with your essential nature, which is to crave stability, so you’ll have to make peace with both of these conflicting desires. For you, it’s all or nothing, so when change does come, learn to let go and embrace the new with open arms!
Having a Scorpio Moon is by no means easy, but it can be a deeply spiritual, sensitive, powerful and insightful Moon sign to have, one which can experience transformative experiences in all areas of life, and always emerge stronger on the other side. You are the typical “dark and sexy” type, and possess a powerful, keen and probing mind which be your greatest asset in your life.
