What the Moon in Scorpio describes
With the Moon in Scorpio, your feelings run deep and intense, and you guard them. You feel everything in extremes. Love becomes devotion, anger becomes eruption, sorrow becomes silence. Shallow connections tire you. You would rather have one deep friend than twenty surface ones. You easily sense what people hide, like a lie or an unspoken wound. This is a double-edged gift, since you can sometimes see things that are not there. Trust is sacred to you, and once broken it does not return easily. You can heal and start over when life breaks you. Your growth is finding power by showing your soft side instead of hiding it. When you open up to people you trust, you soften.

Frequently asked
What does a Scorpio Moon mean?
That the Moon stood in Scorpio at your birth, a fixed Water sign ruled by Mars. The Moon describes emotional nature and what you need to feel settled.
Do I need a birth time for my Moon sign?
Ideally yes. The Moon changes sign every two and a half days, so a birth on a boundary day can fall either side of it.
Is the Moon sign more personal than the Sun sign?
It is more private rather than more important. The Sun is the direction a life takes; the Moon is how it feels from the inside.
