How do you keep your emotions at bay? How do you use your powers for good?

I am not water dominant but I know what it's like being too emotional because mine are all over the place most the time. What I do is find my own space where nothing triggers my emotions. It's the only thing that works for me, personally. I like having a calm atmosphere. Also, I like escapism, books, movies, music. That helps a lot so long as it isn't too escapist. It helps to get lost in another world that either I created or someone else. Maybe you are not allowing your mind to get away from all your worries often enough?

My Cancer Mars is too "defensive". I want to be more nurturing.

My Scorpio moon is too "controlling" and "probing".

I keep my emotions at bay by analyzing the situation and simply trying oh-so-hard to stay positive. I am Cancer sun 4th house, Scorpio moon 8th house, Pisces rising, mercury cancer, 4th house. Just the other day, my brother slighted me and rather than getting angry, i thought to myself: "Ok, he's the one with the problem, not you, so, just let him say what he wants to say and just remember that there's nothing wrong with you." I think i should mention that my third house, the house of random thought is in Gemini, and my mercury is opposite saturn/uranus/neptune. Furthermore, my moon is sextile saturn and sun in conjunct jupiter. Those things help me stay objective despite my emotional nature although just barely.

If you want to practice nurturing, you could get some house plants or babysit. Try to find ways to show you care and find things to take care of. A pet is a good idea, although some people cannot have them for whatever reason. It's about showing people, animals, plants, that you care by inquiring about their well being, giving out warm hugs, patting them on the back and giving them a shoulder to cry on. Try to be there when they need someone to listen.
