The moon rules the moods and emotions. The placement of the moon in your chart determines your inner self; it shapes your soul and what you need to feel emotionally secure. It controls what goes on below the surface of your personality. The moon sign may influence how strongly your sun sign is expressed, which is why people with the same zodiac sun sign may behave differently.
The inner emotions of a Scorpio Moon are, to say the least, intense. This is a dark position of the moon; these people burn with deep passion and desire. Their emotions usually go to extreme highs and lows, almost consuming them. This gives Scorpio Moons a deep understanding of human emotions, making them have an almost uncanny sense for the moods of people around them. They have an inner need for transformation, both with others and within themselves.
The dark intensity of this sign might not be apparent on the surface, however. Scorpio Moons tend to hold their feelings rather than outwardly express them because they know that not everyone can handle their intensity. As Scorpio is ruled by shadowy Pluto, these people tend to be very secretive and it may be hard for them to express their feelings in words. In order to truly open up to someone, a Scorpio Moon must have a very strong sense of trust with the other person. This can take a very long time, but once it happens, the Scorpio Moon will be extremely loyal and honest. If that trust is ever broken, however, the Scorpio Moon may never forgive the person.
As a fixed sign, Scorpio Moons are individuals that hold on tightly to the few people they let into their inner circle. They know how to really connect with others on an emotional level and truly need these strong connections in order to feel emotionally secure. Scorpio Moons ultimately need people who can explore the depths of life with them, helping them uncover truths about themselves. Truth is very important to this sign, as Scorpio Moons prefer to confront things as they really are.
In relationships, a Scorpio Moon needs someone who is extremely loyal and honest. This sign is known to take relationships very seriously, as they give lots of attention and affection once they commit to a person. The mysteriousness of Scorpio gives them strong sexual energy, but they need a partner that still affirms that they are attractive.
