I'm sorry for asking another self involved question, but you guys here at LL are such a great help and support system. I love to hear from you all!

I'm still so confused as to how my moon plays a positive part in my chart. How can it be remotely positive when it has the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto opposing it. I feel like a polar design. It's my Emotions vs. Everything Else! I just feel doomed with this stressful aspect.
And then my moon is all alone in the 7th house, as a singleton (Taurus) Is this where my conflict meeting the right guy comes in? Oh cr@p Any insight would be appreciated.

A block in a city is square, and if you take 4 lefts turns, guess where you end up?

I mean, if you think of the one thing you think would solve it all in one swoop ...

I don't think any aspects make you doomed. I think it gives us insight into what we may need to work on... how we can improve ourselves.

Instead of half empty, let's look at it as half full.

What lesson can you learn about yourself from these aspects? How can you use this knowledge to make a better Scorpbaby? (not that she doesn't already rock )

Speaking as someone with a 7th house moon, coping with the need to be "partnered" is a challenge alone. You're going to have to find other outlets for that need rather than wallowing in self pity, which is simply self destructive. And with a Taurus moon, and a singleton at that, you should be able to find enough strength to carry on even without a partner (I do, and I have a whimpy Pisces moon). Creative outlets, pets, volunteering are all good options for Taurus moon. The thing is that you just can't let those feeling suffocate within you - the 7th house is an angular house, and so it's very powerful and that need to have a partner wouldn't just go away once you've "figured" yourself out. If you don't express those feelings one way or the other, they'll turn on you. And the pragmatic thing is if you can't be in a healthly realtionship right now, find another healthy outlets for that need and feelings.

My moon is also oppo my Pluto - this creates a very difficult opposition to "own". Pluto has to be allowed it's space here to transform your ego and emotions into something greater than they presently are. No easy task, nor will it be without a bit of discomfort and perhaps sacrifice. Look at this time without a partner as time for you to discover yourself and grow. Rather than focusing on what you lack (or think you lack), focusing on your potential, emotionally and spiritually. Try mediating or ritualistic prayer, as these practices helps us get in tune with how Pluto is trying to guide. Just know that since your moon is oppo to Pluto, it'll initially try to resist that influence, but you have to have faith that there is something within you that is positive that Pluto is trying to bring to the surface.

Moon oppo Saturn is another very difficult oppo, but a little easier ot work witht hat Pluto oppo's. Here, Saturn will be trying to restrain your moon energies, and probably in very conflicting and discomforting ways. Good things to do the learn to live with this aspect is therapy, journal writing, or simply writing out your feelings. In otherwireds, practice expressing how you feeling, despite your Satrunine inclinations to hold back or "tone" down your emotions.

Anoher problem with this oppo is emotional rigidity. Saturn and the moon get locked into this oppo and it's difficult for the rest of your planet influences to move around that lockhold. Again, practicing expressing your emotions will help you become more aware of when you may be too rigid in your emotion responses to things. Also, meditation and prayer help you balance out your feelings and center them in a more healthly way, so you are else likely to "tense up" in your emotional responses during your day. Yoga and non-strenuous exercise are also good with dealing witht he oppo as they help balance out your physical responses to your emotions and help reintegrate your emotions with your body so you are more aware of how your emotions affect you overall.

This particular Sun and Merc oppo to the moon isn't as difficult as you'd think. While Scorpio is a very erratic Sun, Taurus moon in and of itself is strong enough to balance out in this oppo, especially as a singleton. You'll never get away from the extreme moodswings and the hypersensitivity common to the Sco-Tau axis, but at least your planets are in the ideal placements for this axis. A Tau Sun-Sco moon would have a lot more trouble than you just figuring out which way is up, so count your blessings. Just realize that despite all that Scorpio energy, your moon is your anchor. Espcially with a Taurus moon, if you don't allow it to be your anchor, its energies will become very frustrated and you'll feel like they are working against you. Focus on appreciating your Taurus moon energy and nuturing it, and it can do quite well handling the stress of an Sun/Merc oppo - as long as you accept that you'll always have very intense emotions and be quite sensitive and that there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't think you're doomed realtionshipwise, but perhaps you need to spend more time getting to know yourself a little better and on a deeper level before pursuing relationships. That's not a easy thing to accept with that moon placement, for sure, but truth is, once you're grown in understanding of your personal moon energy and learn to accept yourself more and be not be so intimidated by your own intense emotions, the more likely you'll attract a partner who is right for you.

Thank you for your advice

Gemini Nymph I didn't realize that having a singleton moon would be good for the oppo. That makes sense, because with the singleton all the energy is filtered to the moon. So that makes more of a balance between the Sun and moon. More than anything I feel like I'm too dependent on the moon, it's hard for me to detach myself from emotion.And that leads to problems thinking clearly, especially while I'm in class trying to solve a math or science problem, the left side of my brain needs some help. I really need to make time to focus (meditate) or exercise to clear my thoughts.

The situation with guys is difficult for me. I'm a late bloomer in the relationship department. If anything I've had way too much time to think about who I am and what I want! Mostly I'm way too nervous around guys I'm interested in. I have some insecurity with men, that stems back from my past. It's difficult for me to feel comfortable around them. I figured this had a lot to do with the aspects made to the moon and it's position in the 7th house.
On the other hand, I'm always idealizing love but then backing away from opportunites that arise.

In the past I've appeared to be unapproachable and uptight. This is when I become detached from my moon and true feelings. Instead, the sun, mercury, saturn, and pluto team up to make one hell of a tough girl to crack. Sure I'll laugh and flirt at parties but I'm always holding back, and most men can tell. I think part of me has grown out of this childish behaviour, just not completely.

So, if 'most men can tell'... that you are holding back, just wait for the one who likes a challenge, and will work to 'bring you forward'. And love what he gets. Which he will.

Scorpbaby,
You think your Moon is challanged????
How about mine?
Moon in pisces (hope that's good)in EXACT opp to Ur, EXACT square to a conjunct stellium of Sun, merc, Venus and mars, inconjunct to Jupiter, a large opp to Pl (6 1/2 deg) and the only saving grace - a trine to Nep! The only planet it makes no aspect to is Saturn - Thank god for small mercies.

ETA: Moon also conjuncts Chiron
