This is the most instinctual, overwhelming Moon. Emotions run deep and needs are compulsive. This is the Moon that has to penetrate the taboo areas of life where others fear to tread. Catharsis for the past is essential for the soul with this traumatic Moon.

WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD
It is impossible for a soul with this Moon to live on the surface of life. The compulsion to go down into the depths and there to find healing for the raw and painful emotions that are brought forward from the past. This soul is no stranger to death, destruction, and persecution. Rejection and abandonment are always a part of the soul’s history. The result is a deeply mistrustful soul, who harbors resentment and finds it difficult to forgive. There may be strong feelings of inadequacy or guilt. This soul’s greatest fear is that someone else will have power over it because it knows just what that can mean. This is a paranoid Moon. It has experienced persecution and has learned mistrust. One of its most vital tasks is to forgive, to let go, and to trust life once more. This soul then makes an excellent guide for those who are exploring the same taboo areas of life. It has learned a valuable lesson, that of survival no matter what. Deeply intuitive, it can be the catalyst for insight and growth in others.

EMOTIONAL RELEASE
With its dark emotional history, this soul needs emotional release. The emotions are so deeply repressed that, from time to time, they erupt from the depths with great suddenness and destructive power. The trigger is always small in proportion to the outpouring – a sure sign that something from the past has come forward.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS
The emotional needs of the soul with this traumatic Moon are some of the most compulsive and intense of the zodiac. The soul is driven by unmet needs and painful memories from the past. It holds onto resentment and jealousy that will tear it apart unless the right relationship can be found to contain its intensity. It needs to heal its deep fear of rejection and abandonment within a committed relationship. Its task it to let go of the pain and use its psychic and healing power for the good of others as well as itself.

LUNAR FOOD
Intensity and all-consuming passion provide fuel for the soul with this Moon. When emotionally nourished and fulfilled, the soul is empowered. Emotionally deprived, the soul retreats into abusive power plays. This soul’s task is to find emotional nourishment from inner reserves rather than demanding emotional sustenance from others.

MOTHERING EXPECTATIONS
The “Great No-sayer” is one mothering archetype attached to this Moon. The Devouring Mother is another. Power plays are a feature of childhood. The expectation is that Mother will be all-powerful, dominant, and, quite possibly, abusive. The soul seeks an emotionally intense mother who provides the right ambience for the child to release and heal deep, dark emotional pain from the past. What the soul fears is the wrathful, devouring, frustrated mother who seeks to live out her own unlived life through her child and who may look to her child to fulfill her unmet emotional needs.

ANCESTRAL INHERITANCE
The ancestral inheritance passed down this dark line is matriarchal, powerful, and dominant. Death and destruction abound, as does secrecy and manipulation. Family secrets may include addictions, infidelity, or illegitimacy. It is not uncommon for a family member simply to disappear. Birth has a close relationship with death, although such things are rarely talked about. The emotional intensity heaves beneath the surface, but the family strives to keep a lid on it at all costs.

I can say for me personally I would not change my Mother for the world. She is like my best friend, sister and best of all my mother all in one. But what is ironic she had a bad relationship with her own Mother (Her Mother did not treat her well and she would do anything to please her). And what's worse her Mother was a Aquarius/Scorpio combo as myself.

yes, everyone does need an outlet. i suppose that i was wondering what a chosen outlet for a scorpio moon would be. whether it be through people as it says or a solitary activity like writing.

One thing to keep in mind. You've always been this way, you know no difference. If you had been in others shoes or "moons" you'd see it. I see the difference in intensity when dealing with others, they just don't seem to feel as deep as me. Looking back, before I was into astrology, suddenly all those times when people thought I was over reacting or I even thought it I now know, I just feel more intensely.
