What Scorpio brings to your Moon

Scorpio is a Water, Fixed sign ruled by Pluto / Mars. Water is emotional, intuitive and deep-feeling. By mode it sustains. It holds steady, builds and sees things through. So your Moon, your emotional nature, instincts and what makes you feel safe, takes on that colour: the alchemist: intense, magnetic and unafraid of the depths, drawn to transform whatever it touches.

The sign itself, its dates, element and ruler, has a page of its own: Scorpio.

Strengths & the growing edge

At its best, this placement is intense, magnetic and loyal. That is where your Moon shines most naturally. Its growing edge is the secretive side. That is not a flaw. It is the place that asks for a little awareness, so the gift does not tip into strain.

A question to sit with

Where in your life does your Moon most want to be intense, and where might its secretive streak be asking you for a little more gentleness?

Every Sun sign with a Scorpio Moon

Your Moon is half of it. The other light is the one that says what you need rather than what you are after, and the two together read differently from either alone. There is a page for all twelve combinations, and each one names the phase of the Moon that the distance between them forces.
