How a Scorpio Moon feels things

You don't always experience emotions lightly. A small event can connect to a much deeper memory or fear. You may need privacy before you can understand what you're actually feeling.

What you need to feel safe

You need closeness and reassurance, and you pick up on moods before anyone says a word. When you feel safe you're deeply caring; when you don't, you may retreat until you've worked out what's really going on.

How you process change

Feelings take time to arrive and time to leave. Once you've been hurt, it can stay with you long after the situation has moved on, and trust is rebuilt slowly.

  • •Trust can take a long time once someone has given you a reason to doubt them.
  • •You may hold onto emotional situations long after the practical situation has ended.
  • •You can become hyper-aware of small changes in someone's behavior.
  • •Protecting yourself can sometimes turn into testing people instead of simply telling them what you need.

What a Scorpio Moon gives the people around them

  • •You can read emotional situations with remarkable depth.
  • •You stay loyal when other people might walk away.
  • •You have a strong ability to rebuild yourself after difficult experiences.
  • •You are rarely satisfied with fake answers when the real truth is available.
