As a Scorpio moon and Pluto sextile Sun, I take everything to heart I hate it! I'm always taking everything to a deep level that needeth not to be attained. I like having this ability though, I just wish I knew when to use or reveal it.------------------ http://virgingoat.tumblr.com IP: Logged |

You have to learn how to detach yourself emotionally. Not sure how though.IP: Logged |

Have you tried meditation? Healing crystals?I feel hematite would work excellently for you. It helps balance out of tune and overactive yin energies, clears anxiety and prevents the user of the stone from becoming compulsive and overly emotional. Scorpio is a yin sign. It is in your Moon. Scorpio energies sometimes channel into your Sun, but the fact that it seems that you have so much intense yin energy in your Moon makes me think hematite is good for you. I have three Scorpio planets, my Mercury in the sign as well and I'm the same as you... and this helps me greatly. http://fengshui.about.com/od/Crystals/qt/What-Is-Hematite.htm IP: Logged |

I'm a Scorpio Moon also.Recently got into meditation almost a year ago. And I've been experimenting with healing gems for years. I worked with hematite recently. Meditating with gems enhances the experience too. I just had rocks no jewelry and being a chick I can't always have them close to me. Even if my clothes have pockets they fall out if I sit or lay down. One fell out on a chair I was sitting on...in front of my friend that thinks that stuff is weird. she just said "is that your rock..." haha! So I can up with a solution, to keep them in my bra. It worked well, you forget they are there sometimes! Yeah I'm a Scorpio Moon conjunct pluto and Lilith Other gems I really like are Amethyst, Amber, Garnet, Goldstone I'm on to Pearls now...that's another good one for water signs. Now that I think of it I was wearing pearls a lot when my special someone started talking to me.
But yeah I don't always know how to deal with my feelings. Being a Moon conjunct Pluto I only have few I keep close, and thank God for them. I count on them for the point of view on how to deal with things. Especially on how to be mature about things with someone I care about. Tonight something upset me but it's too late at night to reach out to them and I ended up talking to mom about it...ugh. Not my first choice but she was there. And like usual she asked me if I was PMSing. Didn't calm me down, but I got some of my feelings out. And really wanted a punching bag and started punching the air. Went for a run, and then I calmed down...and realized maybe I am overacting to my situation a bit. Just gonna feel out tomorrow, and then talk to the other two people I'd rather talk to about my situations. IP: Logged |

We Scorpio Moons can get into the midset of "**** everyone, **** everything" and then life just becomes so much easier. IP: Logged |

Don't be too emotionally attached. Just...do! It's kinda hard to work against your nature though. IP: Logged |

Just be who you are.There is no one else in the world like you, and that is something that should fill you with a good feeling. I understand that some people like light and superficial, but there are plenty who don't. Don't try and change who you are, into something you're not. People are always looking around, thinking, "what's better about him, what's better about her, what's worse about me?" When what we should be thinking is, "What's different about them, what's special about me?" I read somewhere that people tend to give a lower opinion and understate themselves, than their friends and lovers do. If you really want to find out what makes you great? Ask your friends for a completely honest answer what they like about you. ------------------ Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams. IP: Logged |

Swift Freeze Always so wise. Goatcat,
Whenever your emotions start getting really intense, just stop everything you're doing, take a deep breath, stop all your thoughts and clear your mind... Take a few more breaths, and try to get in touch with your "essence" - that part of you, deep down, that never actually suffers but remains untouchable - the peaceful You, in all situations. It may take some time before actually getting in touch with it, so meditating / praying can help, but it's there and you can access it. Just realize that in the great scheme of things, what you're going through is not very significant, and it will pass eventually. But try to just work on calming yourself down whenever you get upset. And do not deny your emotions / nature! Don't repress it, don't go all "Eh, I'm just gonna turn it off". Cause that's not who you are and it's not healthy. What you should do, is acknowledge that you're upset, and then work from there. "Okay, I'm upset right now because XYZ, but does it change who I am? Can it destroy me? .. No. I'm still here, whole and complete. And no one and nothing can take that away from me" - going back to the deeper self, that which cannot be moved. It may sound a bit metaphysical but you should try it and see if it helps. ~ IP: Logged |

Hematite is not at all expensive. It is abundant so the price is usually low. I went to a local store with hippie stuff in it and they had crystals there. I'd think you could even purchase it online. But try to find a local store if there's any around that sells stuff like it. One medium sized stone only costs a few dollars. IP: Logged |

+1 on this. Centering and meditation seems to work for a lot of people. Ignoring things seems to work well for others. Personally though, I've never really had much luck with either. And I can definitely get caught in negative mental loops with the best of them. I may get some flack for this, but I tend to practice what (after learning more from you guys around here) I now think of as "Retrograde Theory." Basically, just hang on to whatever it is until you push through the other side. Let your thoughts and emotions build and swell, don't try to pretend they're not there because that just drags things out. The sooner it's heavy enough to hit critical mass, the sooner the bottom falls out. And when it does, the results -- much like a loud fart in a quiet library study session -- are almost without fail, hilarious. As unpleasant as it can be, just stay the course. Eventually, you'll look back, see how far you've come, and have a good laugh with yourself about ever being bothered in the first place. Also, remember that we're all limited by the needs to sleep, eat, $&!%, and wipe ourselves afterwards. You're not alone---none of us has a %&*#&*@ clue. IP: Logged |

This is what I do! I embrace all my emotions and I even try to feel them deeper and I will let the feelings linger for as long as they want to. This way I don't get any "backlash" of unresolved, personal angst. Having said this, I do have a Cap Moon that kinda dampens my emotions a tad and I do prefer to just "soldier on" but with age I am learning to just myself be alone.
For ref.: My moon, sun and mercury are all square Pluto so I am a very intense person.

But my Scorpio moon is soooo brooding though. And it trines my pouting, grudge holding Cancer Mars. If I just allow the emotions to linger, I begin to think of imaginary reasons to stay mad. ------------------ http://virgingoat.tumblr.com IP: Logged |

Sorry -- the last thing I want to do is genuinely offend someone -- just trying to help. I guess what I'm trying to suggest, in my own ineloquent way, is that if you have to start somewhere, start with yourself. IP: Logged |
