♏Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio feels intensely and shows almost nothing. Emotion runs deep and private here, and the instinct is to contain rather than express, partly because the feeling seems too large to hand over and partly because exposure feels like risk. Safety is found in trust that has been earned slowly and in knowing the truth of a situation, even an unwelcome truth — ambiguity is harder on this Moon than bad news. There is unusual perceptiveness about what others are concealing, learned from long practice at concealing. Loyalty here is absolute and so is the memory of betrayal. What it needs is one or two people with whom nothing has to be managed, and permission to feel the full size of things without deciding the size is a problem.
