“How does your child perceive the mother?”
Your child secretly senses the power that comes from the mother. They show understanding, but sometimes create a “threatening” impression. Most often, however, the child sees the mother as a highly spiritual person—the archetype of the Great Mother.
“What does he need to feel confident and secure?”
Your child has deep and intense feelings, which are sometimes so complex that even they themselves do not understand them, so do not be surprised if this is not clear to you either. But he himself can manage his feelings, which should not be considered superficial or unimportant. So do not worry too much—let him reflect, explore the depths of his mind, and encounter dark corners there. Let him enjoy solitude and secrecy; let him have a secret place where you do not intrude at all. Do not try to control everything he does or thinks. He has the right to his own thoughts, even if you disagree with them, to letters, drawings, gifts, or something similar that he may keep secret until he feels ready to show them to you. He may trust you, but he trusts himself the most and feels most confident when he is in control.
Although your child feels very deeply, their emotions may not manifest outwardly. They almost always hide them. They do not forget the cause of their deep distress and can reflect on it for a very long time. They may not speak about what they feel, but inside, they dissect everything down to the smallest detail.
Your child will be devoted to those who love them, but they are possessive and can feel jealous if they doubt the other person’s devotion in return.
He is an excellent expert at uncovering other people’s secrets. He needs to find an occupation where the ability to concentrate for long periods, to investigate and study a subject thoroughly until the desired results are achieved, is required. This is a very vivid personality—complex, but very strong.
(Various sources for the child’s horoscope)
Moon in Scorpio indicates a strong and emotional nature. Those born under this combination are highly sensitive, though this is usually not noticeable to an outside observer. In the sign of Scorpio, the Moon is in its fall, so these children find it difficult to express their feelings freely. They hide their experiences deep inside. They need to learn to recognize their emotions, to look at their feelings objectively, and to learn to express them in words. Explain to the child that by hiding their experiences and not allowing them to surface, they ultimately harm both themselves and those they love. Sooner or later, the dam will break, and the feelings that have been held back for so long will burst out. Moreover, suppressed emotions can manifest as physical illnesses.
Such children know no middle ground—it is all or nothing. If they are happy, their joy simply overflows them; if they are sad, their sorrow knows no bounds. All feelings are heightened to the extreme. They dislike changing their point of view: once they have made up their mind about something, it is very difficult to convince them otherwise. If you still want to try, you should verify all the facts and approach the issue without prejudice. Since those born with the Moon in Scorpio have the ability to see to the core of people and events, it may turn out that they are ultimately right.
Children with this Moon placement have an exceptionally developed intuition, and in time, they may become outstanding scientists or, for example, famous detectives. The very process of investigation brings them satisfaction, whether it involves studying people, nature, or the universe. They are endlessly curious and want to know everything about everything. Such children often become psychiatrists.
Like it or not, children with the Moon in Scorpio learn best from their own bitter experience. They are energetic, self-confident, and likely want (and need) to experience more than others. It is important for them to learn to understand their complex and tangled feelings and not dwell too much on their experiences. Teach the child not to take life so seriously. And also teach them (best through personal example) to laugh at their failures. Through laughter, their emotions and inner tension will find an outlet, and this is the best way.
Children with the Moon in Scorpio tend to extremes in everything, so accustom them to discipline so they do not indulge their weaknesses—this could be excessive emotions, excesses in food, and later, abuse of alcohol. Such a child tends to view the people they love as their own property and can be very jealous. In childhood, this is expressed in relation to the mother: he will constantly demand demonstrations of love from her, seek to claim all her attention, and leave no room in her life for anyone else.
Such children quickly attract people to themselves, but on the other hand, they want to dominate in all relationships. Explain to the child that by making excessive demands and placing unreasonable expectations on others, he is simply revealing his own selfishness. After all, if someone else demanded the same from him, he would not appreciate it. Children with this Moon placement have a striking ability to see to the root of things and events; they intuitively sense the truth, so in communication with them, it is best to avoid any little tricks. Although they themselves clearly have a tendency to do this and can make others dance to their tune. It is very important to teach such a child to act openly and fairly. Explain to him that if he wants others to respect him, then he must also respect them. This is quite reasonable. Help him realize that the need to control people will not help preserve friends and loved ones.

I carry my inner world like a burden, enormous and vitally important. My thoughts are no trifle, but it is better to keep them secret.
Your child with the Moon in Scorpio has deep and intense feelings that are sometimes so complex that even she herself does not understand them, so do not be surprised if you cannot grasp them either. But what she feels cannot be considered superficial or insignificant. Everything matters—immensely. Still, there is no need to worry too much. This child can manage her emotions, even when you cannot.
He enjoys pondering, exploring the depths of his mind, and encountering dark corners there. Give him some space. Allow him to enjoy solitude and secrecy. Let him have a secret place where you absolutely (remember—absolutely!) do not intrude. What is he going to do there? Do you need to know? Yes, there are things parents should know—especially if the child, as he grows, may be tempted by self-destructive acts, such as drugs. In that case, you should watch for signs. Do not assume it is your right to constantly pry into his affairs.
Your child has the right to personal thoughts, even if you disagree, to personal keepsakes, letters, drawings, or something similar that he may keep secret until he feels ready to share them. But this may never happen. Accept it.
This child feels most confident when he is in control of events. He may trust you, but ultimately, he trusts himself the most. So do not try to control everything he does or thinks.
Though this child feels deeply, his emotions may not show on the outside. He almost always hides them. This does not mean he has forgotten the cause of his deep sorrow. On the contrary. He can reflect on it for a long time. Scorpio finds it hard to let go of emotions. He may not speak about what he feels, but inside, he dissects everything down to the smallest detail, examining it from all angles.
However, if you ask whether anything is troubling him, you will most likely hear in response: No, everything is fine. Of course, he also holds onto good feelings and is very devoted to those he loves.
Do not expect to keep many secrets from this child. He may not allow you to know everything he feels, but he is an expert at uncovering the secrets of others. This is a very strong trait if he finds a profession where the ability to concentrate for long periods, persistently investigate, and study a subject until the desired results are obtained is required. He has a knack for picking up nonverbal cues. He knows subtle ways to persuade others to do things his way.
This is a very vivid personality—complex but very strong.
