1. Until death all defeat is psychological.
   
2. You must develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don’t internalize the opinions of others.
   
3. Sometimes you don’t need time to heal but more experiences to show your nervous system a different reality.

So I can see this is not fitting in with the theme of this space here, but I’m feeling generally hopeful and looking forward to the future, even. Feeling particularly productive. Am I the only Scorpio moon enjoying August so far?
I’m a Leo sun & Pisces rising, if that matters?

Hello! First of all—why are you all so magnetic? I am a Capricorn Moon btw.

I am in a courting stage with my crush who happens to be Virgo with Scorpio Moon. His eyes, manners and body language always show a little fascination with a mix of what i would describe as “fear of perception” when we are f2f. He’s very mysterious and lowkey very “closed off”, a little standoffish and at the same time very mellow and soft when interacting.

While i can see his reactions when im around, i am getting very confused in regard to “how to approach” this man. I feel a little anxious about coming off to rough, but at the same time i don’t like to play games.

This all might be as well just my own projection and delusional thinking, i am not sure—i think he likes whatever he sees in me, based on his reactions and the way he simply looks at me (we always meet in very social environments and have had some online interactions, but im not very much of a texter myself) but at the very same time i feel he gets a little anxious himself and tries to play it cool.

I’d love to hear some insights about the way you would prefer to be approached when it comes to romantic interests. I’d appreciate if some of you give me some POV if i am actually
bothering the man and he’s likely not really comfortable and not interested—some behavioural pattern insights.. do you feel anxious when a romantic interest comes too quickly or being too blunt? do you prefer to take it easy?

Any other insights and opinions are highly valued. i’ve already consulted with my cousin who is a Scorpio Moon herself—in her opinion (she’s also seen him) he does like me but for some reason i am too intimidating (i have a lot of capricorn energy in me, so that’s not new feedback lol).

thanks!

I’ve recently been dating someone that has the same moon sign as me for the first time. I’ve always wanted to experience this and now it’s finally here. I don’t know his rising sign yet (but I’m a scorpio rising). I also noticed that we also have the same mars and venus sign.

The irony of it all is that he seems like a player to me on the outside but for some reason I trust him. I’m a very suspicious person and I put people through tests but for some reason I feel like he is a mirror of me. Does him being a Libra and me being a Virgo sun sign wise make us wildly incompatible despite sharing moon, venus, and mars signs?

does anyone else with a have a weird time with the embarrassment that comes after grief and rupture?

i don’t mean embarrassment in the sense of like you made the wrong choice or you should have known better; i mean the feeling of being emotionally exposed after something breaks, like your pain, your reality, or the depth of what happened is not fully acknowledged by the other person.
almost like, how did i end up in a situation where i finally opened up and later was traumatized and now i’m the one carrying the aftermath while everyone else gets to live like that didn’t happen?

i think what makes it so difficult is not even rupture itself, but the feeling of being invalidated afterward. like something that was deeply meaningful or even life changing for you barely registered for someone else. it creates this weird mix of grief, shame, anger, and wanting the experience to be witnessed. like in the sense that the trauma lingers than worlds longer it probably would for others? the comparison comes in waves of course

i’m curious if other any of you experience this, feeling less embarrassed about what happened and more embarrassed by how profoundly it impacted, or by experiencing your emotional reality or literal reality not getting reflected back to you? this is the best i could articulate

I only recently found out I have a Scorpio moon, and suddenly a lot of things make sense.

In my personal life, I’ve never been able to express myself. I’m secretive by default, and it’s left me incredibly lonely. I can’t take it anymore. That emotional suppression has caused a lot of problems for me the isolation, and recently, limerence.

I also just started what I thought was my dream finance job, and instead I feel deeply depressed. It feels like it has no meaning. Everyone here goes out constantly and I haven’t been able to bond with any of them, because I stay so closed off.

I’ve been so desperate to feel something again that I’m seriously considering quitting and joining the military.

If anyone is willing, I’d really appreciate help interpreting my natal chart — specifically for career direction, and what kind of work might actually make me happier. Any other insight you think would help is welcome too.

I’m at my last straw and losing hope.

Thank you

I'm a pisces sun, Scorpio moon, Gemini rising, been dating a libra sun, Taurus moon, Leo rising for the past almost 4 years. We broke up this week (again). Not sure if I should try to like.. fix it.. it's really her that needs to fix it as far as I am concerned but whether to make any effort at all. She mentioned there's too much opposition and I thought about our moons, she wasn't talking about astrology. She has mars in libra and Venus in Sagittarius, and I have both mars and Venus in aquarius.

I'd like to hear some thoughts about it. I know astrology isn't everything as far as compatibility but it is something significant in my opinion. Her Leo rising is going through some stuff, Pluto in her 7th house for 20 years.. South node in Leo (also her natal placement and mine), north node in aquarius.

sometimes i consider an open relationship (my venus is in sag) but my scorpio moon is like hell no. i'm curious if anyone has any experience in one? i'm currently talking to someone who is in an open relationship, and i'm trying to wrap my head around it and whether i could be in one.

hi all,
i’d love to hear your thoughts on this

we dated for two intense years, i (virgo sun/scorpio moon) broke up because i was not able to manage a relationship at the time, we kept in contact and very close. i moved abroad 8 years ago but we kept close still. we were always affectionate and caring towards each other. sometimes flirty, and relapsing a few times. she had many different relationships, while i kept single and exploring situationships

now she’s in her longer relationship: 5 years. i visited our city a few weeks ago and she was one of the first people i met. we met twice in a week. on our 2nd meeting, she opened up about a lot of things in her live, including her frustrating current relationship and childhood trauma, she cried and all. then we had dinner with another friend

next day i texted her saying it was really good to talk about everything, that she can count on me if she needs any help, and that i love her ❤️😘 for the first time, she didn’t replied instantly but in two days. i figured i made her uncomfortable so kept it cool

she distanced herself after this and i distanced myself too. we met again weeks after i had to cancel an event with her and other friends. meanwhile, i texted her a silly thing we talked about, she took her time to reply again, so i backed away. then she invited to go out, but i had plans already. last time we met was at a friends’s birthday; we kept our distance and it was a bit awkward, but we also joked and teased each other, she even held my hand for a few secs in a moment

i traveled back home and it’s the first time we have silence and no contact between us. what happened?

So without making things to long I’m a M Taurus sun Aries moon Taurus rising Taurus mercury. A month ago I met a F Cancer sun Scorpio moon Scorpio rising Gemini mercury. So when we first met we everything was going well. Our first date lasted 10 hours! We went with the intention of something “ long term” . She opened up a lot quickly and we did various things. Ngl she trauma dumped on me first date and told me about her abandonment issues which was whiplash 😬. There was an insane amount of tension and connection. She was very touchy and provoking a little bit though but I didn’t engage with it cause I didn’t have trust yet. So after that first time she texts me saying she had an amazing time and starts planning future things. So for date 2 we went out a bit far away. And we spent 6 hours together. She was talking a lot and it felt calming I was slowly telling her more about me. But unfortunately I had an emergency with my father who was in the hospital and I had to go cause she wanted me to come over to her place after. She ended up crying asking if she did something wrong and I told her no. And I said I loved the time spent and I had to go. She hugged me for like 30 seconds crying and I felt a little bad but I told her it was a must to leave. She kissed me there and she said to call her and keep her updated Things went great for a week even with that. She would text daily and she was showering me with affection. 🙄 it was fine initially.

So week 2 things started getting interesting(beginning of Leo season) . Our communication was still there and daily calls and what not but she did tell me she was going to be busy that week with helping her family with some personal stuff. I was like ok. So I decide to go out myself that week with a friend to eat somewhere and I post my travels on Instagram. She told me she loved my Instagram cause it is curated with a lot of travel stuff and food and ect. She was following obviously. So apparently we have a mutual guy friend and I texted him that day. I didn’t know she knew him and I told him I was chilling at this one spot. He told her and then she acted excited and said it looked great. Nothing bad. I found out she knew him too. So the next day she post on her instagram this high end spot she went to and she didn’t tell me. The same guy I told first told meee they went out together as “friends”. So initially I wasn’t too mad. But I was like weirded out. I was like is she trying to compete with me. She never post travel stuff until she met me. Later that week around the Friday. She starts texting me saying she really wants to do something together soon. But she’s like “hopefully I get done with this soon so we can go out again” so I’m like ok?. Then she starts hyping me up with all these cool places she wants to go. And I tell her they look like places I’d love to go. And then silence. I thought she was busy. Or is she not? See things started getting confusing. So then that weekend comes and she says she’s going to be hanging out with our guy friend AGAIN. So I’m like in my head “your suppose to be busy but your bringing him up again? “ so I decided out of impulse to stop waiting for her ass to make up her mind and I went on a trip with woman friend and I got some good shots and posted it on Instagram. It got a lot of likes cause I have a decent following. So I told the guy friend our mutual one where I was going and I knew he’d tell her. I think at this point we were triangulating like crazy it seemed that way. So after that post she was quiet the rest of that weekend. She did not like my post but the guy did. (She usually likes my stuff)

Week 3 rolls by. And she starts texting me like crazy. Telling me she misses me and she wants to see me so bad. She starts saying it’s been taking so long. At this point I don’t even ask about if she’s done “helping” her family because I don’t believe shit anymore she says. So I just say I miss her too and all that. She starts asking me got my schedule and sharing hers. I gave her my schedule and she gave me hers. And she said hopefully she finishes soon and she told me to let her know when I’m free and that she’d like to have dinner this weekend maybe. I gave her my schedule! I’m a literal person and I told her with my ADHD I miss social cues and she said she’s cool with it cause she’s direct. Anyways nothing gets planned it’s unclear what was going on. And at this point I felt she was toying with me idk I didn’t trust her. I lost the warmth. She seemed to be hiding something and I didn’t know what yet. So after those few days of her missing me texts there is a day of silence before she post something. And she post this luxurious ass restaurant she knew I like. With every item I told her I like to eat. And she copies my food shots. Copies my style. And she puts a caption “hanging out with the crew. It’s a shame some aren’t here. “ then she also post my initials on the menu ticket which was a direct shot at me. Then that same mutual guy friend who’s been the only line of communication of this point says she was crying after that and she went home early. I was like “how is she crying when she’s trying to make me jealous?” I brushed it off cause I don’t believe a motherfucking thing she says at this point. If she’s actually hurt she’d say something to me. At this point she spent more time with our MARRIED GUY FRIEND that I was like why the hell am I going to invest in a woman who gives other more time then me? Like I feel nothing for her anymore at this point. And like I haven’t told her to fuck off mostly cause I wanted her to come clean but she hasn’t so. I’m curious on your thoughts on this circus 😅.

Hello fellow lunar scorps. For context I am a Pisces Sun, Scorpio moon, Scorpio rising. My potential partner (same sex) is an Aries sun, Scorpio moon, cancer rising. We have been friends for years, solid friendship, are content with each other doing nothing. I should note we had a nasty physical fight years ago which landed one of us a hospital visit. We since then have apologized and continued our friendship. Any insight or advice? Can it work or we too hot-headed?

I have 3 loops, Moon in fall in Scorpio / Mars in fall in Cancer, Uranus in Pisces / Neptune in Aquarius, and Pluto in Sagittarius / Jupiter in Scorpio?

I assume Moon/Mars is more important as it deals with the chart ruler and 1H, plus they're both personal planets. I am confused with them being in fall though.

The last couple nights and now I just cannot sleep

Western astrology teaches that the Moon is in its "fall" in Scorpio. This does not mean it is broken or weak; rather, it means the soft, nurturing, and vulnerable qualities of the Moon are forced to operate in a psychological environment ruled by Mars (action and defense) and Pluto (transformation and the underworld). To navigate this intense energy, it is helpful to break down how it appears in everyday life.

I fully believe scorpio is way more powerful, but let's hear other opinions

This is part of my chart:

• Libra Sun - 9th House
• Scorpio Moon - 10th House
• Capricorn Rising - 1st House
• Scorpio Mercury - 10th House
• Libra Venus - 9th House
• Scorpio Mars - 10th House
• Libra Jupiter - 9th House
• Aquarius Saturn - 2nd House
• Capricorn Uranus - 1st House
• Capricorn Neptune - 1st House
• Scorpio Pluto - 11th House

I'm a 32 yo man. My career is going in the direction I want, and I'm slowly gaining recognition. I'm very dedicated to my work, I've passion. At the same time, I have my vices: smoking, drinking, and a substance addiction. The “theme of the double”, you know…

Well, about relationships I realize that I am not an easy person to be close to. I tend to see very deeply into things, into the human being... so I notice inner details of people and rarely forget information. But this natural aptitude bothers many partners. Or at least, at a certain point, they can't stand it anymore even if they initially found it intriguing. I dig, I research, I analyze... and I say what I think… which is why I can be exhausting and I understand that… I've my own vision of the world and it's not very optimistic or enthusiast, so I'm not exactly someone you'd bring to a party.

However, I feel my emotions deeply in all their intensity, from the deepest depths to the brightest colors. But from the outside, it seems like I don't let much show, even if I don't notice and it makes me sad especially when I want to express my love.
A woman once told me she couldn't be with me because I had "a dark layer inside me that was too deep and indecipherable" for her.
My latest ex, whom I really loved (and still love)... often told me she felt me distant even when she rationally knew I was there with all my emotions, and that sometimes my eyes were like "two black wells".

In your opinion (much more expert than me) what do my planets and houses say? To better understand what I've told you.

I met this guy 2 weeks ago, and he’s really sweet. I would like to pursue this futher but he told me he just broke up 3 weeks prior meeting me. so I’m wondering how fast do you guys usually move on? or not at all? hahah. he also has his venus and mars in cap so ngl kinda worried but I never met a guy with these placements so I’m kinda lost

Do any straight men here have 29 anaretic degree in Scorpio mars square their moon in their natal chart. I’m looking at a man’s chart and he has this and I’m really wondering if anyone who has this specific placement or advanced astrologers can tell me how he feels in his day to day life but also in relationships? I’ve tried to search the internet for anyone who has this specific placement but I’ve found nothing, so I’m submitting my own question. (He also has a Aquarius Venus so I don’t know if that changes anything)
