So you know how the Scorpio memory runs deep to the depths of the sea? We can remember, in vivid color, memories that hurt us. And not only that, these memories loop again and again in our heads, over and over.When we're in perfect sync, my boyfriend and I can read each other's minds. It may sound crazy but it happens. He was about to do something I would not agree with and I gently stopped him. Without hesitation he did not do it. After that we never spoke of the situation again, and I moved on. But recently my mind keeps flashing back to that moment he was about to do something abhorrent. Our relationship is perfectly fine, why does my Lunar Scorpion nature want to cling on to the past, and to the results of a situation that never happened? It's stupid. Why can't Scorpios let go? My Moon in Scorpio also forms a trine with Mars in Cancer RX. Pluto is sextile my sun and Mercury. ------------------ http://virgingoat.tumblr.com http://instagram.com/imustbeacat IP: Logged |

Why can't you let go? Because you still feel hurt/upset about it, and thinking about it brings up negative emotions/thoughts.You can talk about it with your bf and ask him to reassure you, or just stop thinking about it and basically ignore the whole thing. Now the ignoring part may not be for Scorpio Mooners cause you tend to be obsessed about things and brood so I think you should talk about it - maybe with a trusted friend if you can't do that with your bf - to let it out and stop feeling bad about it. Or at least feel a bit better or something. IP: Logged |

It's not just the Scorpio, it's your Mars too.Mars in Cancer like to bottle things up and end up getting upset (angry internally) over stuff. Yeah, talk to your boyfriend about it if it bothers you. IP: Logged |

No it depends on the aspects to Mars. I never bottle stuff up, but then again my Mars squares Jupiter, Saturn, AND Pluto and is conjunct Vulcanus or Zeus or something. If anything my problem is reining it IN.

I would definitely like to figure this out myself. I have my Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Pluto all in Scorpio along with my mars conjunct Pluto and Saturn square pluto. My obsessions and feelings run too deep sometimes. I would definitely like to know the answer to this question.IP: Logged |

Maybe because the fact that he could have done that bothers you, and then the meaning of that action also means a lot to you? You might want to ask yourself what that possible action meant to you (which was what led you to disagree with it), and then if the fact that he could have done so bothers you.And then ask yourself if it is really relevant of what can happen in the future. I have Scorpio Saturn/Pluto in the 3rd house and a stellium in the 8th house, and I tend to overanalyze things like this as well. Actions or attempts of actions tells me a lot about someone's character, and I react to what I learned about this person emotionally, by analyzing his/her intention. Thought I've learned to let go of small things, since we all make mistakes and it's ok as long as it's not serious.

IMO I believe you obsess because of the fact that you had to tell him not to do it. What happens if you're not around or in his space? Can you trust him to make the right decision. Since I don't know what the central issue was, I don't know your importance/significance of it. IP: Logged |

I know that if anything is being done behind my back in the dark it will eventually come to the light so yeah.But I can trust him. When someone is up to no good I can sense it. I may not know exactly what it is but I sense it. But I'm the type that when everything is all good, my stupid memory with try to make me feel ****** . Its like Scorpio moon is not satisfied with happy! ------------------ http://virgingoat.tumblr.com http://instagram.com/imustbeacat IP: Logged |

I think scorpios want to get to the depthts of things and solve unresolved deep seated problems. It would be easier to answer your question if you shared what it is he was about to do(remember were quite anonymus here). If not you should realize all the terrible and discusting things that go trough most peoples heads everyday, what you act on is what matters not necissairily what you think. He probably did realize whatever it is he was going to do was wrong and so he didn't do it, which is a good thing because that means he belives it's wrong aswell. I doubt he would hessistate if he was a 100% for it, despise your disregard. Atleast he would have sounded he's opinion clearly, just my opinion tough. IP: Logged |

I have a lot of Scorpio/Pluto/8H energy. This is helped me a lot."Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." ~ Buddha Emotions are not as easy to change as the rational mind. Though we know we should walk away, it takes some time to find a rhythm that depletes the momentum of the waves stirred up inside us. At some point we must weigh the possibility that we will understand the situation better not by revisiting it, but by moving on and looking back once we are far enough away to have a new perspective. Simply put, Scorpio stops obsessing by taking responsibility for their emotional state; by realizing the initial stir may have been caused by someone else, but the continuous revisiting is the Scorpio's responsibility. It's also important for Scorpios to forgive their selves for being vulnerable. Being hurt is not a sign you are weak, it's a sign that you are participating in life (which is a very brave and powerful commitment to make for such a complexly sensitive person). When in doubt give yourself some credit for being such an emotional genius, capable of doing normal human things in a world where people stomp around the emotional realm like blind elephants. (((HUG))) Whatever he did (or in this case, actually didn't do) can't be changed now and unless you plan on leaving him, you are not going to avoid the possibility of being hurt by him in the future. Committing to love someone is also a commitment to be vulnerable to them. If you hold over his head the possibility that he could hurt you, then you are preemptively backing out of your commitment. If you want revenge more than this guy's partnership, then keep allowing your emotions to run rampant. If not, recognize your feelings are not an overwhelmingly external force, but a directable internal mechanism and make a conscious effort to move on. You can do that by accepting the feelings when they come up and resolving just to observe, but not attempt to judge, control, or act on them. If you let them be, they may lead you back to their root (which likely is not related to your boyfriend at all). Once you discover their root, then maybe you can share it with your boyfriend and deepen your trust in his care of your feelings. IP: Logged |

I have eighth house energy, Hades and eighth house moon, and one Scorpio planet water singleton. Pluto is conjunct the south node. Best thing to do is pretend to switch gears or flip a light switch that turns off the thought pattern. Once that switch is flipped to off you can no longer think about whatever you are obsessing on until you flip it back.IP: Logged |

I don't mean to be patronising but can the obsessional energy be directed to something else? Can you say move it to cleaning dishes or something like that or keeping busy? I think every person, thus sign, would ruminate if they are dealing with emotional issues, it's a human occurrence. I tend to ruminate a lot and do the replaying in my head too but I'm an Aqua. Usually, time goes on and I tend to think of it less. However, something might trigger it occasionally and I go back to it but then I forget it again. Sorry if I sound patronising, just trying to make sense of it all. IP: Logged |

yes ^ maybe it has been to do with transits but for the last few years lost the inclination to fight them - as if then my whole life would be one big deviation. no matter if a more worthwhile one. but true when channeling it into something other it is great. i feel profoundly empty though after so i guess those obsessions were just making use of some energy themselves. and about now i feel ready to harness that. but there was a kind of method to them even if they were the long route IP: Logged |

I am no stranger to obsession, so here is my take on this.Use obsession to your advantage. Make a list of the things that are important to you, that you need to get done, and focus on getting them done. So, for instance, if you start obsessing about an ex, don't kick yourself in the fanny about it, pull out your list and see which item could now use your attention instead of the ex. If you do that repeatedly, you will be surprised at what you can achieve. ------------------ http://www.lightofthestars.com Every Chart has a Gift IP: Logged |

I think I'm totally understand what you mean because I'm a water type too ( except the Pisces , they are not obsessed but they are out of this world hehehe ) I think the biggest challenge is your obsession isn't corrected properly and in some way , it annoyed you because "you just can't accept this" whether this is only a trivial matters or not , it's always tricking your sub-conscious and always awaken your thought to fix it , or if you can't ,do whatever to understand it . Like the others suggest , do talk to your boyfriend about this even you know it might not come out well but I think it could really help with your obsession . Maybe the worst of your feeling is not the final answer but it is the point where you can't do anything to open your mind about it. HTH, From me.... the 10th Moon Cancer , and the scorpion mercury ,mars IP: Logged |
