To all my Scorpio moons,
How the f*ck do you guys control your emotions, express them, etc? I’m just curious. I’ve been trying to express myself more, talk about what’s wrong when I’m mad or sad, and want to care about other peoples emotions more. So just wanted to see what works for anybody else ! Even if you’re not a Scorpio moon feel free to answer 🙂

Scorpio moon here! I unfortunately tend to keep things to myself and bottle my emotions up, especially anger and sadness. I am also working on expressing my emotions too. I think for me that recognizing what the emotion is is the start of the process and then working out how I need to handle it. With sadness I like to journal or maybe cry if I need too (but I don’t do that super often). With anger or excitement I like to get physical—jumping up and down or running to calm myself down a little bit so I can have a productive conversation with someone without getting annoyed or dominating the conversation. Hope this helps!

My daughter is a Scorpio moon. She’s little and still sensitive. She gets hurt with any type of rejection or perceived rejection. She has a tough time talking about it. We Scorpio people (I’m a sun) go through a process of becoming sick of are own sensitivity and harden. We are badass you know. But, its braver to be vulnerable, feel your emotions and trust people- and that is when we transform into our higher selves.

Hi! Scorpio moon here as well:) If bottling up emotions and never communicating them were an olympic sport…I wouldve taken gold yearsss ago! Its so hard to express the harder/more negative emotions because I personally feel guilty for feeling them or letting them out. BUT! Within these past few years, I have really began to gravitate towards writing and journaling every day which helps me to process a lot of the more intense emotions. Also, within this past year I have been fortunate enough to establish a relationship with someone in my life where I do not feel judged and therefore feel less guilty when communicating difficult emotions. Sometimes it is still a stuggle, but being able to form that relationship alongside the development with writing/journaling has offered a lot of support and relief! Taking it moment by moment and knowing that its kinder for my soul to not hold it all in helps me to want to improve upon it❤️

God I felt this in my bones. Mad solidarity & love to you my fellow scorpi moon. I’ve found that staying in motion is key. Going for literal 2 to 3 hour walks. Running. Giving myself lots and lots of space to truly acknowledge what I am feeling is valid. Asking for help when I need it. Letting myself cry. Learning to leave the world on Read sometimes because I understand that I don’t have space for/can’t carry everything. Truly understanding for the first time in my life, that empathy without boundaries is self-destruction, and knowing that saying the word “no” is enough to draw protective circles around myself when need be.
Just some ways that come to the fore-front of my mind as of recently. Feel free to message me anytime if you need a friend, I feel like I’m reaching out to a reflection right now in a sense. ❤️️ -
A fellow scorpio moon ????????, it really depends on what it is.. I also highly believe that your rising plays a huge roll in this and works hand in hand with your moon. I have an aries rising, so at times I can be very honest and forthright about what’s bothering me. However it depends on the person, and topic too. Journaling helps me a lot, always has. Meditation too. I’ve never been about hiding things that need to come out, especially if it’s something that’s really bothering me. I don’t have a poker face, and it’s gonna come out. Truth and authenticity is really important to me. We all have our secrets though, and some things are better left kept to yourself especially if you know based on your intuition the other person won’t be able to handle it at that moment in time. Sometimes, you just have to go outside your comfort zone and say what you mean. Throw caution to the wind. Hope this helps. ✨

I like your intensity, OP, because as a fellow Scorpio moon, I can testify that the struggle. is. real.
Tbh, I’ve just given up on opening up to people. It’s funny because I was just thinking about this today, how I could try again (I’ve been going through a bit of a depression bout), but there’s just no way I’m going through one of these infamous messes again.
Though I do think that properly recognizing and acknowledging your emotions, like someone else said, is one of the key to healthier sharing. That and being aware of *how* you communicate, and what you’re *expecting* from the people with whom you’re communicating. I learned the hard way that I was expecting way too much from other people when I would try to open up.
Also, you need outlets. Again, like someone else said, journaling and exercising are great options. Having outlets means that you can unburden yourself from raw emotions, and can practice introspection better.

Scorpio moon as well. It took a lot of therapy and a small group of emotionally supportive friends for me to get close to mastering my feelings.

I’m a Scorpio moon, Aries sun and sag rising! So I’m a mess lol. Meditation, journaling, working out and self care! Those have been my biggies. I used to be like fuck crying but I cry when I need to, good cathartic cry to some music where no one can hear me, I wipe my tears and sleep like a baby. I also clean when I’m pissed or stressed. Hopefully some of those resonated with you. I like to keep my feelings to myself and not “burden” people with my emotions. Those techniques help me get it out without telling anyone what I feel. My Ariesness helps bring out the psycho pissed bitch but I calm down pretty quick and get over it. I either yell or separate from people and clean/cry/workout. Good luck!

I’m also a Scorpio moon but a Gemini sun, so it’s like a weird mix of wanting to socialize and be emotionally close to people while also thinking my private thoughts are much too personal to share with those same people. I had to have an emotional conversation with someone today and i was really surprised at the ease of which i told someone unrelated to the situation about it and how it made me feel, but found it incredibly difficult to express my feelings to the person i was actually having the issue with. I did end up opening up to her and actually felt much better afterwards, but getting started was difficult. I don’t really have any advice for you, just wanted to let you know you’re not alone

My boyfriend is a Scorpio moon and he refuses to cry…like ever. We’ve been dating for 4 years and not once has he cried. Even before that, he attests to not even crying at his friend’s or grandfathers funeral. Y’all Scorpio moons are WILD lol. He can articulate his feelings, but they still always sound distanced and lack emotion. I would think having a trusting person to talk to would be beneficial.

Same. I keep everything bottled up.

Journaling, therapy, shower concerts, muay thai

Also, I have really bad anger issues. I get offended really quick. I try to tell myself I’m not mad or angry, but I feel like it’s to the point that I can’t control it- it’s like I have to be mad first in order for me to calm down. I’ve been told I’m “crazy” “psycho” “controlling”

How is your moon like? (house placement, major aspects made). That might clue you in how to best productively do that. My moon is in 9th house, conjunct Pluto. My communication skills are pretty poor and I will physically choke up when I try to express my feelings lol. I’ve always preferred to write things down and many of my rants were recorded in journals. I find that I tend to struggle with timing because Scorpio’s tendency is to first hold a front and then ruminate/analyze in private later– which is why I find myself holding onto perceived slights/hurts, when the world has already moved on or forgotten about the incident. It’s good to be more present with one’s emotions and a big part of being present, is allowing vulnerability to happen in real time as you feel things. I observe this directly in friends that have Cancer risings and Moon in 1st house. My moon is in the 9th so I tend to incorporate use of analogies, stories and even astrology/tarot to help convey myself. Those things also nourish me. The outcome from suppressing or controlling one’s emotions doesn’t really reflect the reality.. because the internal experience doesn’t match with the external. Cue the tension, passive aggression and conflict. Hiding these emotions are a disservice, even if its done out of instinct. For a very long time, I overestimated how big my emotions were and how integral they were to my sense of identity, all the good but mostly the bad… Try to see that communication doesn’t mean relinquishing power to another person, but rather an act of validating yourself first and foremost. I find that I tend to tunnel-vision my own experience so much, that empathy and vulnerability are so difficult. All of the things that I’ve put off privately is coming up in my Saturn return (12th house) now, so fun stuff lol :’)
