Moon in Scorpio
Het Monster: Moon in Scorpio I carry my inner world like a heavy burden, vast and vitally important. My thoughts are far from trivial, yet it’s better to keep them secret. A child with the Moon in Scorpio has deep and intense feelings that can be so complex even they themselves fail to understand them—so don’t be surprised if you can’t grasp them either. But what they feel is not superficial or insignificant. It all matters—and matters greatly. Still, there’s 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. Let them 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, becomes tempted by self-destructive behaviors like drugs. In such cases, you must watch for signs. Don’t assume it’s your right to constantly pry into their affairs. Your child has the right to private thoughts, even if you disagree, to personal keepsakes, letters, drawings, or anything similar they may hide until they feel ready to share. But they may never do so. Accept that. This child feels most confident when in control of events. They may trust you, but ultimately, they trust themselves the most. So don’t try to control everything they do or think. Though this child feels deeply, their emotions may not show on the surface. They almost always conceal them. This doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten what caused their deep distress. Quite the opposite. They can mull it over for a long time. Scorpio finds it hard to let go of emotions. They may not speak about what they feel, but inside, they dissect it thoroughly, examining it from every angle. However, if you ask whether something is bothering them, you’ll most likely hear, “No, everything’s fine.” Of course, they also hold onto good feelings and are very devoted to those they love. Don’t expect to keep many secrets from this child. They may not let you in on everything they feel, but they are experts at uncovering others’ secrets. This is a powerful trait if they find a profession requiring the ability to concentrate for long periods, persistently investigate, and study a subject until the desired results are achieved. They instinctively pick up on nonverbal cues. They know subtle ways to persuade others to do things their way. This is a striking individual—complex but very strong.

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 points to periodic suffering caused by mental distress due to loneliness, indecision, or lack of self-confidence. Scorpio is secretive, so such people love to hide their inner selves and feelings; they may act hypocritically 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 earn them powerful enemies. They gain considerable influence in business due to their strong will and lack of hesitation in using others and manipulating them. 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 swarthy complexions, hairy bodies, and are inclined toward substance use. Classical texts and my experience indicate the following qualities in these people: they have large eyes, suffer from separation from their parents and teachers, endure illnesses in youth, and are not open. 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 persuade. They possess noticeable psychic power, struggle in relationships with their mother, 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 (such as crying it out) and self-analysis, possibly even pessimism. In general, the range 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, inner restructuring, that is, transformation and death. In any case, the original structure is destroyed—this is the domain of Pluto, which brings chaos. But there are two paths ahead: the first is self-destruction, and if there are no higher creative forces and higher values, this leads to destruction and death. The second—if the highest 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, naturally, they will be distinguished by a certain degree of hysteria, at least strong excitability, and they may be characterized by strong mood swings and a high need for psychological renewal, because their inner world rarely remains in a stable state. At the same time, whatever 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 it as self-evident, as something that has no value and therefore is subject to destruction. In this case, there is almost nothing in the world that you consider worthy of existing, up to misanthropy. To avoid such a situation, you need inner transformation, that is, this need must find an outlet. The Moon in Scorpio also usually gives you an acute psychological gift, the ability to sense not only a person’s inner world but also their vulnerable points, flaws, and weak spots. This, moreover, are points of exacerbation, since Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, brings all these weaknesses into an active state, an active 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. If, however, 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 since the energy of Scorpio connects with the other world, 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 overburden your sexual sphere and 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 the transit 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), throat, upper respiratory tract, remove tonsils and adenoids, treat sinusitis, runny nose, and rhinitis.

One-sided feelings: desire prevails, which must be restrained. In a relationship 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 Obé. Astrological Dictionary
Distinctive traits of sensitivity—intuition and penetration. The woman is exceptionally attractive, emphasizing unusual, extravagant traits. 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 struggle to coexist with her inherent sobriety of mind. Representatives of both sexes subtly sense what lies behind external beauty. Relationships are mysterious, sometimes perverse or strange.

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 one’s 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 this is not the case—they simply need to rebuild, and 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 provides extraordinary subtlety of inner work, the ability to subordinate one’s 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 capable of seeing through a person, especially their lower programs and inclinations, and providing necessary assistance in psychological and spiritual development. If the Moon is harmonious, energy holes are small; the person always extricates themselves from psychological and mental breakdowns, prolonged bouts of resentment toward the world and themselves, depressions with nightmares, and so on.

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 over your relationships with others. You love and hate intensely, passionately; you are a jealous friend, treating your friends like 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. 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 possess great emotional depth. Desire restrained by will. Quick subconscious decisions and an inability to justify sympathy or antipathy. Unaccountable fanaticism, sensuality, constant conflict in feelings. An exaggeratedly serious attitude toward personal matters leads to possessiveness and extreme jealousy. Grievances are not forgotten. Caustic and mocking. Often want to change family and domestic situations. Self-willed and consider only their own desires. They raise children with a carrot-and-stick approach. Illnesses: swelling, tumors, diseases of the bladder and excretory system, genital diseases, in women—menstrual irregularities.

Intuition, resourcefulness, self-analysis, endurance tests. 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 a less than pleasant impression on others, revealing qualities such as secrecy of the inner world, tension, and distrustfulness. Yet distrust may reveal itself as a penetrating talent, and the tension of inner strength gives rise to interesting personalities in all spheres of creativity. These are Velázquez, Rembrandt, Picasso, and Bryullov in painting; Michelangelo, whose Moon in Scorpio corresponds to the legend that he observed real agonies 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. Those around them may find the persistence and demanding nature of Pluto in the realm of emotions unacceptable, so this lunar position creates difficulties in marriage and relationships with others (though it does bring sexuality). As is well known, Lermontov was not liked 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.
