Moon in Scorpio
My inner world I carry like a burden,
Great and important beyond measure.
And my thoughts are by no means trivial,
But it’s better to keep them secret.
A child with the Moon in Scorpio has deep and intense feelings that 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 what they feel cannot be considered superficial or unimportant. Everything matters—and matters greatly. Yet there is no need to worry too much. This child can manage their emotions even when you cannot. They enjoy pondering, exploring the depths of their mind, and stumbling upon dark corners there. Give them some space. Allow them to enjoy solitude and secrecy. Let them have a secret place where you absolutely (remember—absolutely!) do not intrude.
What are they going to do there? Should you know? Yes, there are things parents should be aware of—especially if the child, as they grow, is capable of succumbing to temptation and trying something self-destructive, such as drugs. But then you must watch for the signs. Do not think it is your right to constantly pry into their affairs. Your child has the right to their own thoughts, even if you disagree with them, to personal keepsakes, letters, drawings, or something similar that they may keep secret until they feel the need to show them. But this may never happen. Accept it.
This child feels most confident when they are in control of events. They may trust you, but ultimately, they trust themselves the most. So do not try to control everything they do or think.
Though this child feels deeply, their emotions may not show on the outside. They almost always hide them. This does not mean they have forgotten the cause of their deep distress. On the contrary. They can dwell on it for a long time. It is hard for a Scorpio to let go of emotions. They may not speak about what they feel, but inside, they dissect everything down to the smallest detail, examining it from all angles.
However, if you ask whether something is troubling them, you will most likely hear in response: No, everything is fine.
Of course, they also hold onto good feelings and are very devoted to those they love. Do not expect to keep many secrets from this child. They may not allow you to know everything they feel, but they are experts at uncovering the secrets of others. This is a very strong trait if they find an occupation where the ability to concentrate for long periods, persistently investigate, and study a subject until the desired results are achieved is required.
They have a knack for picking up nonverbal cues. They know subtle ways to persuade others to do what they want. This is a very vivid personality—complex, but very strong.
Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian Tradition)
The sign of Scorpio is associated with water, giving an emotional, receptive nature. It is a Brahmin sign, a sign of intuition and receptivity to transcendental, mystical philosophy. This sign is ruled by Mars, indicating great determination, firmness of character, and boldness. But the Moon is weakened in this sign and indicates periodic suffering caused by mental distress due to loneliness and indecisiveness or lack of self-confidence. Scorpio is secretive, and so such people love to hide their inner selves and feelings; they may act duplicitously and covertly. They are prone to strong emotions, selfishness, envy, and vindictiveness. They cannot tolerate insults and love to retaliate against those who have wronged them. They are bold, aggressive, and sometimes cruel. They have enough determination to see their intentions through to the end; their cruelty and desire to keep their motives and plans secret create powerful enemies for them. They gain considerable influence in commercial activities due to their strong will and lack of hesitation in using and manipulating others. They possess remarkable resilience. They are good strategists, capable of planning years ahead and seeing their plans through to completion. They are quick-tempered, love rivalry, and have a possessive streak. They keep both their faults and other matters secret. They usually have a dark complexion, hairy bodies, and are inclined toward the use of intoxicants.
Classical texts and my experience indicate the following qualities in these people: they have large eyes, suffer due to separation from their parents and teachers, suffer from illnesses in youth; they are not straightforward. Such people are receptive and perceptive, have a capacity for meditation, feel deeply, have strong personalities, and the ability to control themselves. They are difficult to change or convince of anything. They possess noticeable psychic power, have difficulties in relationships with their mother. These people are poetic, sensitive, and easily excitable.

Here the Moon is visiting Mars and Pluto, in a Water sign, in fall. The Moon in Scorpio generally gives you a need for psychological regeneration (for example, to cry it out) and self-analysis, possibly even pessimism. In general, the spectrum of qualities of fallen planets is very broad. The Moon in Scorpio also manifests as merciless sarcasm and misanthropy. You are likely often unconsciously tuned into situations of crisis, destruction, restructuring of your inner structure—i.e., transformation and death. In any case, the original structure is destroyed—this is Pluto’s sphere of influence, which brings chaos. But there are two possible paths ahead: the first is self-destruction, and if there are no higher creative forces or higher values, this leads to ruin and death. The second—if higher values are present—immediately forms a new order, a new structure, transformation and change take place. That is why you are unconsciously tuned into situations of transformation, change, and crisis. Since the unconscious structures of the inner world of such a person are quite often prone to some kind of destruction, they naturally exhibit a certain degree of hysteria, at least strong excitability, and they may be characterized by sharp mood swings and a high need for psychological renewal, because their inner world rarely remains in a stable state. And whatever new structure arises, it begins to destroy itself again and always remains in a state of heightened activity. This is the need for constant change, the creation of a new structure. If this does not happen, a negative psychology may form in you. That is, whatever you see, you perceive as self-evident, as having no value and therefore subject to destruction. In this case, there is almost nothing in the world that you consider worthy of existing, up to misanthropy. To prevent this situation, you need inner transformation—that is, this need must find an outlet. The Moon in Scorpio also usually gives you a heightened psychological gift, the ability to sense not only a person’s inner world but also their vulnerable points, flaws, and weak spots. These are, moreover, points of exacerbation, since Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, brings all these weaknesses into an active state, an acute form, and Mars sharpens the manifestation. Therefore, depending on your spiritual orientation, you may become an excellent psychotherapist or psychologist who clearly sees these weaknesses. But if you are oriented toward evil, you may become a sadist or manipulator who knows how to press the right buttons and manipulate people. On an esoteric level, it should be noted that through the energy of Scorpio there is a connection with the other world, so many of these people are mediums, clairvoyants who can unconsciously perceive the other world (for example, Nostradamus, V. Messing).
Medical contraindications. Your genitals are most vulnerable. Therefore, it is best for you not to overload your sexual sphere and to practice sexual moderation more often. You may also have menstrual irregularities, a tendency to swelling and tumors. You quickly lose strength from excesses and illnesses. During a transiting Moon in Scorpio, it is not recommended to eat spicy food. Hemorrhoids and constipation may appear. Active treatment is contraindicated in this case. You can treat the endocrine system (except the prostate gland), the throat, the upper respiratory tract, you can remove the tonsils, adenoids, treat sinusitis, runny nose, rhinitis.
Het Monster. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
One-sided emotions: desire prevails, which must be restrained. In relationships with a partner, possessiveness and jealousy dominate. Personal grievances are not forgotten quickly; you are vindictive. Self-willed, you consider only your own desires. Once you set a goal, you ignore any evidence and do not hesitate to make sacrifices to achieve it.
Katrin Obier. Astrological Dictionary
Distinctive traits of sensitivity—intuition and penetration. The woman is exceptionally attractive, emphasizing unusual, extravagant features. A desire to seduce and be seduced, with the main path to the heart lying through physical sensations. Eroticism. Men are drawn to mysterious women; it is difficult for them to resist their sexual allure. In a woman, unconventionality and sexual passion sometimes coexist uneasily with her inherent sobriety of mind. Representatives of both sexes subtly sense what lies behind external beauty. Relationships are mysterious, sometimes perverse or strange.
Larisa Nazarova. Karmic Astrology
The Moon in a Water sign. High sensitivity, the ability to react to the slightest external changes. You withdraw under external pressure but may respond with an unexpected reaction. Your inner world reveals itself only in harmonious conditions. Very high emotionality. The Moon in Scorpio gives excitability, hysteria, mood swings, and a need for psychological regeneration. It is in the reception of Pluto. Scorpio carries the program of self-destruction and the destruction of others. Emotional dissatisfaction that creates the need for self-improvement. Heightened sexuality. It can also manifest as merciless sarcasm, negative psychology, and misanthropy.
Avesalom Podvodny. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
The Moon makes Scorpio extremely emotional, and most importantly, too dependent on their emotions. The emphasis here is on inner life, a strong sense of dissatisfaction and demands on the environment, which is a projection of your own imperfection (energy holes, inner conflicts, often on a sexual basis). Processing is difficult because the Moon creates a strong false existential emphasis—that is, the person feels that many types of energy are vital to them, when in reality they simply need to rebuild. They can do this when they learn to distinguish whims from needs, raising the level of inner honesty and self-analysis. At a low level of processing, it is very difficult to please a Moon in Scorpio; they will be dissatisfied with everything and often sexually unsatisfied. At a high level, the Moon in Scorpio gives extraordinary subtlety in inner work, the ability to subordinate your lower “self” and primitive instincts to the service of the highest goals. Primary self-analysis is difficult (the Moon is in fall), but with processing, it produces very subtle psychologists and psychoanalysts who can see through a person, especially their lower programs and inclinations, and provide the necessary assistance in psychological and spiritual development. If the Moon is well-aspected, the energy holes are small; the person always extricates themselves from psychological and psychic breakdowns, withdrawal into themselves, prolonged bouts of resentment toward the world and themselves, depressions with nightmares, and so on.
Frances Sakoian. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
You are secretive and prone to heavy silence. It is difficult for people to understand what lies in the depths of your soul, as you trust and open up to very few. You do not allow yourself to be vulnerable or lose control in relationships with others. You love and hate intensely, passionately; you are a jealous friend, you belong to your friends as if they were children. As an enemy, you must be feared. You have an unpleasant habit of remembering the past when you have been hurt, offended, or falsely accused. You hold all these feelings inside you. It is very important that you learn to forgive and forget. It would be better if you expressed your feelings openly and directly, without hiding or suppressing them. External appearances do not satisfy you; you strive to penetrate beyond the surface to understand hidden motives, and you yourself have great depth of feeling. Desire restrained by will. Quick subconscious decisions and an inability to justify sympathy or antipathy. Unaccountable fanaticism, sensuality, a constant conflict in feelings. An exaggeratedly serious attitude toward personal matters leads to possessiveness and extreme jealousy. Grievances are not forgotten. You are caustic and mocking. You often want to change your family and domestic situation. Self-willed and consider only your own desires. You raise children with a carrot-and-stick approach. Health issues: swelling, tumors, diseases of the bladder and excretory system, diseases of the genitals, in women—menstrual disorders.
Planets in the Signs. The Art of Forecasting. Semira and V. Vetas
Intuition, enterprise, self-analysis, tests of strength. The Moon in fall loses its elusiveness and fragility, and most often and naturally its moral orientation, tending to allow itself much. A person with the Moon in Scorpio often makes an unpleasant impression on others, revealing qualities such as secrecy of the inner world, tension, and distrust. Yet distrust can reveal itself as a penetrating talent, and the tension of inner forces gives rise to interesting personalities in all spheres of creativity. These are Velázquez, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Bryullov in painting. Michelangelo’s position of the Moon in Scorpio corresponds to the legend that he observed real agony and death to achieve expressiveness in his sculptures; Hegel in philosophy; Lope de Vega, Lermontov, Griboedov, and Longfellow in literature.
As in Aries, the Moon in Scorpio receives a strong inner impulse for action, which in everyday life produces entrepreneurs who intuitively sense where profit can be made. The persistence and demanding nature of Pluto in the sphere of feelings may be unacceptable to others, so this position of the Moon creates difficulties in marriage and relationships with people (though it does bring sexuality). As is well known, Lermontov was disliked in life: the Moon in Scorpio gives Pechorin-like qualities. In the best case, it manifests as hidden passion and sincerity of intent. Such a person is a fighter by nature and may take on ventures from which others shy away. Yet to do so, one must learn to overcome their own conservatism.
