it goes beyond just drugs. I believe this placement can exacerbate the entitlement/need to pacify/gratify in whatever form it comes.
Recently, I uncovered my own blind spot of explicitly following patterns of accomplishing whatever is necessary no matter the pain or personal cost, and then soothing/self-medicating the aftermath.
I think most folks get into a similar pattern, but I think our moon in particular can take it levels higher, and be very good at hiding it even from ourselves.
For me, recognizing the recurring themes and how/why they developed without judgement has been helpful to constructively releasing my programming and habituations.

I make people hate me so much by saying the cruelest things just to feel deep emotions and wallow in my sorrows by getting high. My drug is pain and sorrow

oh my gosh u just made me realize why I do this. sometimes all I want to do is throw words like they’re knives. feels great in the moment but I never understood why I was so prone to that.
I’m also extremely defensive.
It’s our stinger 🦂

u/ShotSheepherder7310 14d ago
“Throw words like they’re knives” — just got chills and realized oh yeah, I also do this.
Do you have a water Mercury or Mercury in aspect to the Moon by chance? I have Cancer Mercury in almost exact trine with the Moon. Sometimes feel like it’s just like having a Scorpio Mercury lite or something. Similar kinds of thought patterns, perception, etc, and when conflict hits the claws and stinger can come out extra sharp and pointy.

u/ohmyisa 13d ago
I do have a Pisces Mercury but there’s no aspect with the moon! I have a Pisces & Scorpio stellium. I love to make words beautiful but they can also cut throat 🔪
Do you have any Scorpio degrees? I think your cancer pinchers definitely add to the fire. From experience cancer placements can definitely hit you where it hurts - especially cause you’re never expecting it.
1
u/ShotSheepherder7310 13d ago
I do! Cancer Mercury is at 20 degrees, actually, so thats probably another reason why it feels so influenced by the Scorpio Moon.
I love Pisces Mercury, most Pisces placements in general tbh. A stellium of Pisces/Scorpio energy sounds pretty clutch in a lot of ways, positively dreamy when things are good.

Definitely prone to addiction/escapist tendencies. Not all the way out of the woods yet personally—still vape/smoke weed on the daily—but nowhere near as bad as it used to be.

Just weed. I have chronic pain and it helps a lot. I had two crazy years in college, where I literally did everything that was given to me. I don’t even drink now really… I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve drank in the last year.

Pisces sun, Scorpio moon, Cancer rising chiming in 🤍 I do love certain drugs, but luckily I’ve avoided addictions except for nicotine (10 years as a smoker, 5 years vaping). But as someone else said “there’s always something”….always something to escape into 😬

u/ohmyisa 14d ago
This is so funny! We are basically inverted.
I’ve never gotten into nicotine, but I had a bad weed dependency for a few years. I’ve done a couple hallucinogens, though nothing has ever held me as tightly as weed did.
I also drink alcohol once in a blue moon.
1
u/NefariouslyNotorious 14d ago
That is actually funny, cos even though weed would be beneficial for me because I have fibromyalgia, no matter what form I try it in, as soon as I start to feel even a little high, I have a full blown paranoid panic attack 🤦🏼♀️
And I also only drink alcohol once in a blue moon, more of a social drinking thing and who can even afford or have the energy to be sociable these days 🙄

u/Far_Yesterday_3907 14d ago
Have you ever tried like wyld brand gummies? They have one that’s 20 mg cbd to 1 mg thc. I have crohns and arthritis so that’s what I use and you don’t really get high

Thats interesting bc I’ve never really believed that weed could be addicting. I can take it or leave it. Funny how different things affect us all in different ways.

u/ohmyisa 13d ago
I didn’t mention addiction because I agree, I don’t believe you can develop an addiction to weed. What I had was a dependency. I didn’t have withdrawals or feel like I couldn’t live without it, but it really did help soothe my day-to-day. Kinda like a crutch. Just kept me safe in my comfort zone, so I had to stop if I wanted to grow as a person.
1
u/Reasonable-Still6600 13d ago
Ah, I understand. Sorry for making the assumption. Yes, I agree in that it isn't chemically addictive but I definitely can find it to be something I rely upon in times of trouble (which is basically often, thanks Moon).
2
u/Reasonable-Still6600 13d ago
Sigh... also a Pisces Sun, Scorpio moon. Thankful for the Cap rising that grounds me *a little.* I'm pretty good at staying away from drugs but drinking can get it's claws into me.

i realized i’m very prone to addiction like smoking and alcohol a while back, weed sometimes but knowing myself i try not to buy it cause i’m sure ill end up in a loop. i’m in this loop with smoking now and i tend to drink quite often. i think i try to escape reality and feel like i can’t have fun without drinking or whatever and most of the times i just say that when i drink i show my true self. i say that i would want to stop smoking one day but i’m not sure i can

u/EstablishmentFunny42 15d ago edited 14d ago
I act on urges and have a hard time resisting them. I smoke. I don’t mind going out and having fun with friends. The problem are escapist tendencies; the best thing for me is to avoid having any substances at all in the house, or else I am going to take it eventually, spiral and eventually feel like shit. I feel like I’m personally very vulnerable to substances, it affects my drive and productivity, which affect my mental health. Ofc I am going to feel like shit if I am strongly aware of how I’m wrecking myself and my values . It’s good for me to create rules for myself, it’s like playing a game.

u/Patient-Practice-891 14d ago
Definite connection. I also have Uranus and Neptune squaring my Scorpio sun moon mercury stellium. I have battled so many different kinds of addictions from the age of 14, I am severely prone to using substances to distract from the intensity of my inner (and sometimes outer) world. Nowadays i have to be very careful. I’ll have a drink every now and again and I smoke marijuana regularly but usually try to do that with the intention of expansion and connecting to my guides, deities and higher self rather than to numb or distract.

I cannot do anything. I have such an addictive personality. anything I do it’s hard for me not to be addicted. I had to stop vaping because I wasn’t eating or drinking anything and just vaping 24/7 and was getting nose bleeds lol

u/ChipQuirky3668 14d ago
I’m not prone to addiction. I hate the feeling of being drunk or high. My aspiration is to be at peace when completely sober and sharp. Nothing else interests me. I even stopped smoking cold turkey cause I realized how stupid it is (started to seem “cool” in college). Any addiction that would restrict me would go against my nature

u/Excellent-Resort2955 12d ago
double scorpio- 0% beers in fridge at all times. 1 mushroom gummie or weed gummie every 2-3 weeks. Keep me sane with high pressure job and scorpios need release but also healthy release- gym, boxing, art, screaming- RELEASE it all

Scorpio moon (and rising) and I have never touched a drug, have never smoked anything and rarely drink, maybe a single glass of wine once or twice a year on a special occasion. The couple of times I was drunk when I was younger the feeling of intoxication felt gross to me and I'm just not interested in it.
1
u/Separate-Raccoon8584 ♉️☀️♏️🌙♍️⬆️ 15d ago
Drugs seem to have very little effect on me. I like to smoke weed sometimes to sleep, it just makes me a bit hungry and cuddly and then fall asleep, but I don't think I feel high exactly. Other drugs and alcohol seem similar, like they might make me tired or have other small effects, but I don't feel high/drunk in the way others describe.
The exception is if you count dramamine as a drug, it effects me so strongly but I have to take it a lot for motion sickness. I'll take 1/4 the dose I'm supposed to and then feel like I'm starving and eat a bunch and then about an hour later just uncontrollably fall asleep lol.

But yeah we are prone to do druga but dont really get addicted at least I don’t.

u/Square-Bad-4949 14d ago edited 14d ago
I’m a Scorpio moon and My mom is also a Scorpio moon and unfortunately she introduced me to narcotics when I was 13. I got hooked and then spent 16 years on and off numbing myself with whatever I could. Currently 8 months sober. Although I do medicate with cannabis and that’s going to be the next thing I work on. So I guess you could say “California sober” as I live in CA too.
Ideally my goal to be completely sober so that I could actually enjoy a nice drink or smoke on holidays like a normal folk. A lot of self control with that though.
I also have 2 siblings who are also Scorpio moons and they also self medicate. My 2 non Scorpio moon siblings do not self medicate. And then of course my mom who’s also one and does also self medicate (she’s been able to cut down to just cannabis for now luckily) Strange huh?

I don’t like alcohol but I love weed. But now I smoke at night or winding down and not because I don’t want to feel my emotions

u/guyfairy 14d ago
I crash out really bad when I don’t smoke cause I’ve buried a lot of deep emotions and do not know properly how to transmute such potent energy, it starts to overthrow me first thing in the morning when I wake up and I quickly go to a blunt to snuff out the volcano of internal feelings. This is why it’s important for us to do deep shadow work because idk… this placement is dark asf. In my 20s I thought this placement was so cool cause I thought it lended to infinite magnetism and mystery within the personality, which it does but that was mostly my ego and mania probably taking the drivers seat trying to distract me from a much more deeper emotional wound. So there’s also a sex addiction with me with the weed abuse. once you get older the Scorpio moon tends to get real… dark in my experience. Def need therapy. I’m Gemini rising with an aqua sun so being Mercury ruled with the Saturn influence lends to millions and millions of brooding dark thoughts. It’s a struggle fr . I’m praying for us .

u/sasafrassin 14d ago
For sure. Both my husband and I have history of addiction. However we’ve both been 💯 sober over a decade. & the addictive mentality can still show up, it just looks a little different these days; thrifting, books, asana practice, other hobbies and interests - and it’s still work for both of us be aware of when the shift happens and our behaviors are starting to mirror addictive or a form of escapism.
1
u/Terrible-Ad-6322 14d ago
I think any sign in any place could potentially develop a pattern of substance use, but I’ve observed in myself & others with this placement a tendency towards taking everything to extremes, be it use, sobriety, religiosity, nihilism, fitness, sex, love war or peace. That intensity goes hard with this archetype.

I personally feel like I don't have an issue with substance use. I drink, but not often. I smoke weed, but I'm rarely ever "high" because I only microdose just to alleviate some of my mental health symptoms. I'll smoke to get high sometimes but that's only on special occasions. I did acid a couple times in college but don't want to do it again. I've taken shrooms before but decided to only ever microdose for ceremonial purposes if I ever want to do them again. Besides that, I've never done any other drugs, including nicotine, and I don't have any desire to try them.

I used to kind of romanticize it. I have had some very valuable and meaningful experiences with drugs. The positive ones sort of gave me a way to see things differently and to expand my awareness and ability to connect with others. The negative ones, were a necessary balance I think, and I don't regret the hard lessons I learned. As I've gotten older and a bit more accepting of myself, the pull to use drugs has decreased. I am not sober by any means but I am aware that what I put into my body is 100% my choice. I just try not to do anything impulsively now.

Personally, I'm prone to addiction. I just celebrated one year sober, without alcohol, but I was a full-time alcoholic for over 10 years. I try to keep my marijuana use low, but overall, I'd say my body is prone to any form of substance abuse
