Moon in Scorpio


FIND YOUR MOON SIGN

Mysterious, alluring and magical - just a few of the qualities of a Scorpio Moon. Scorpio is elusive
and secretive - hence potentially the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac. The Scorpio Moon is deeply, intensely romantic, very sensitive and highly intuitive, exuding an air of adventure, challenge and ultimate discovery.

The Clandestine Paramour



In the zodiac court, the sign is symbolized by a variety of roles that include the magi, secret agent, cryptographer and clandes­tine paramour. By nature, Scorpio Moons defy description and love to avoid detection. It can be quite difficult to categorize them and even when you get close, they love to slip your grasp to steal away undiscovered. One thing is for certain - they do not like being labelled, summed up or limited by the perception or assess­ment of others. They are a mystery because of their love of mys­tery and their desire to understand life's secrets.

Scorpio is the eighth house of the zodiac and, like Aries, is ruled by the planet Mars. The essence of this house and sign is transformation and regeneration. It symbolizes our individual or collective desire to achieve a state of being beyond our current limits, and in the highest sense, the attainment of some level of transcendence. Scorpio is about moving closer to our soul, our real selves, and finding freedom from the ordinary and the mun­dane. It acts as a doorway or portal through which we begin the long and often tedious process of personal transformation.

In medieval times, alchemical treatises emphasized the quali­ties of Scorpio because they represent the ability to transmute base metal into gold. The Scorpio journey begins with the mun­dane and traverses by degrees to the sublime. It is no surprise, therefore, that Scorpio embodies magical qualities and symbolizes the enchantment of becoming more than we are, or something else altogether. Who better embodies this aspect of the Scorpio Moon than Kahlil Gibran?

In general, Scorpio Moons exhibit these qualities in a number of ways. They have a probing, inquisitive nature that helps them plumb the depths of any chosen subject, especially those related to the esoteric and spiritual. They tend to be quite philosophical, but are at the same time non-conformist and love to challenge accepted wisdom in their pursuit for a genuine and personal real­ ization of the truth. Their quest for knowledge will take them far and wide. The Scorpio Moon is likely to have at least an interest, if not an active involvement, in astrology, meditation and ancient cultures. To pursue the secret, to unravel the universe and its workings, to discover meaning and revel in understanding, these are the driving forces of a Scorpio Moon. When this striving is less esoteric, it con toke on a decidedly scientific nature, which makes the Scorpio Moon's insatiable thirst for wisdom a real asset, not least because it will give them a compulsion for their work.

The best example of this is Albert Einstein, who took an inter­ est in astrology and commented that it is 'a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It [has] taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it ... astrology is like a life-giving elixir to mankind.'1' The author Umberto Eco is a good example of the depth of a Scorpio Moon, with his eminent schol­arship, original ideas about semiotics and his breadth of esoteric knowledge.

The Scorpio Moon is often a quiet person, tending to a kind of introversion which is not so much a shyness as a reserve, a cautious withholding of themselves, at least until they get to know you and feel comfortable with you. It will be clear to you that while they are not saying much, they ore conscious of every­ thing going on around them. It is rare that the Scorpio Moon will miss anything.
Sometimes they can have a bit of voyeur in them, because they like to watch life from a private vantage point. They can therefore be good observers of people and will enjoy movies, theatre, the news, people watching, tarot cards, anything that lets them see the big picture while not getting too closely or immedi­ately involved. Francis Ford Coppola's Moon is in Scorpio, which arguably is part of the reason for his keen cinematic eye, if not for his choice of genre. Other Hollywood Scorpio Moons include Dustin Hoffman, Warren Beatty and Gerard Depardieu.

In fact, Scorpio Moons are rebellious, avant-garde, artistic and original. Their penetrating natures help them break new ground, especially in artistic pursuits, the best example of this being Pablo Picasso. Much of the wild, unfettered, creative, intense nature of Picasso had its roots in his Scorpio Moon. His well-known penchant for passionate relationships and his desire to find the perfect love can also be astrologically attributed to Scorpio.

The Subtle Sensualist


Scorpio Moons are sensual people who have a magnetic, attrac­tive quality that can be captivating, especially if your Moon sign is Taurus, Pisces or Cancer. If so, then you will no doubt be drawn to the magic of the Scorpio sexuality, which is a mixture of subtle intensity, expectation, uncertainty and a hint of excitement - a potent allure. This will be stronger or weaker depending on the house placement of the Moons in the respective charts. In any case, though, the feelings will be palpable - assuming, of course, that there is a physical attraction, which is the essential in any match.
There is a lot more to the Scorpio Moon than just sensuality, however. They can be truly dedicated and fiercely loyal partners. When a Scorpio Moon gives their heart, there is probably nothing more binding. While it may take time to win them over and to create an intimate bond, once you have a mutual trust they are special partners indeed.

There is also a yearning in the Scorpio heart, often felt very intensely, for a level of personal achievement and inner fulfillment. The subtle quality of this yearning may be best expressed by a sense of urgency to discover what will complete them, make them whole and lift them up higher. It is a feeling that is difficult to express in words and finds a better expression in dreams . Although subtle, its effect is powerful, compelling the Scorpio Moon to be ever conscious of the need for that inner perfection. It is no wonder, then, that their nature is strong, intense and moving. The Scorpio Moon can perceive meaning even in the most ordinary of experiences . Nature speaks directly to them, again in a way that is not easy to convey unless your Moon is in Pisces, or maybe Cancer. For this reason, verbal communication with a Scorpio Moon can leave you feeling that much is left unsaid, and if you are in a relationship with one, you will certainly need to develop your intuitive and non-verbal skills to fully under­ stand what's going on. If you are the kind of person who likes to keep things simple, uncomplicated, maybe more on the surface, then the Scorpio Moon may be too deep and subtle for your liking. Their love of freedom, originality and their rich inner world can also make them eccentric. The Scorpio Moon does not like taking the beaten path; even when they tend to conservatism, it is their own personally embellished brand. They are not easy followers, so expect them to express a need to change things slightly if you are working together on a project. Maybe more than many of the Moon signs, they contain a knot of contradictions not easily unravelled.
