Moon signsMoon in Scorpio: what it means
Scorpio is a fixed water sign, ruled by Pluto (traditionally Mars). Water signs lead with feeling and instinct. Fixed signs keep things going.
What a Scorpio Moon is like
Emotions run deep and mostly out of sight in you. You feel everything at full strength and show perhaps a tenth of it, studying people carefully before you let them in. Trust is all or nothing. Once given, your loyalty is fierce; once broken, the door tends to stay shut. You are drawn to what is raw and true, and polite chatter about feelings bores you. Privately you may replay old wounds, and you can sense a lie almost before it is spoken.
Greatest strength
People in real trouble come to you, because nothing they confess makes you flinch.
Where it stretches you
Showing a hurt while it is still fresh, instead of years later, lets others actually make it right.
Scorpio Moon in love
Bonding is intense for you, and you want to know a partner completely. Secrets and half-truths unsettle you more than bad news, and you can go cold or controlling when you feel insecure.
Scorpio Moon at work
Caring about the work is non-negotiable for you, so half-hearted roles wear thin. Work involving trust, confidences or getting to the bottom of something satisfies you most.
Is Moon in Scorpio really yours?
The Moon changes sign roughly every two and a half days, so there is no date range to look up. Your Moon sign has to be calculated from your birth date, and on days when the Moon changes sign, from your birth time as well. Our free chart does this and tells you plainly if the Moon changed sign on the day you were born.

What the Moon means in a chart
The Moon describes your emotional life: what makes you feel safe, how you react before you have had time to think, and what you need from home and from the people close to you. Many people recognise themselves in their Moon sign more quickly than in their Sun sign, especially in private.
One placement is never the whole picture. A full reading weighs the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign, every planet, the houses they fall in and the angles between them. You can read a complete sample reading to see how the pieces fit together.
