The Basics

With your Moon in Scorpio, you are very clever at hiding your true feelings and are inclined to brood in silence over the wrongs that people have done, either in reality or simply in your own mind.  You are aware that your thoughts and feelings are not necessarily in line with reality at all times, but that is because you understand your emotional process, which takes time to feel out and think of all possible scenarios of the issue that occupies your mind.  You know you’re slower at coming to a conclusion than most others, but you know your conclusion will eventually be the correct one because you are so thorough.

The mental and emotional focus may be on sensual things or on sex or mortality.  You find it difficult to trust people as you are suspicious of their inner thoughts and plans.  You open yourself up to very few as you do not find it easy to trust others.  

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable and relinquishing control in relationships is not easy for you.  You love with passion, and you hate with passion.  Everything is done emotionally, with intensity.  You can be very jealous and possessive in your relationships.  Perhaps your mother was very controlling.  You have a habit of holding on to wrongs that have been done in the past and not forgiving nor forgetting, and keeping such feelings to yourself.  

Guilt, resentment and vindictiveness need to be overcome.  You must learn to let go, or your health will suffer.  Learn to express your feelings outwardly rather than repressing them within.  You are not content with superficial appearances and are constantly probing beneath the surface of things for hidden motives.  You have a great deal of emotional depth.  The potential for success is great when control and discipline are learned.  You are magnetic, energetic, independent, aggressive, patient, and determined.  Self-control of the passions is mandatory.

(As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)

Transits to your Moon, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.
