lol, my mother.....

One a looong time ago. He was a County Judge. At the end of the Civil War, Lincoln publicly stated as policy former rebs would be treated a equal citizens. There were moves to seize property, etc. After dismissing a number of cases, he announced: "The Law is the Law. It is the Law, and it is morally correct as well. I will have none of this in my Courtroom."

As the story is told in the family: He got enough support to be able to come back after the first time he was run out of town. The second time fire was exchanged, and he was forced back to the farm. It took a concerted effort to keep him there. He ran again in the next election, and lost.

The character always described to me was a friendly (had been elected twice), intelligent man; but one would not budge an inch on principles.

Yep! My Nephew is a Cancer with a Scorpio moon and my neice is a Sag with a Scorpio moon. My mom, dad, and my older son are Pisces moons though.

Nope no scorpoi moon family members. I'm one of a kind

No other family members are scorpio moon.

no, my immediate family : (moon in) mom - capricorn, dad - leo, brother - gemini. i get along with my mom far better than the other two.

My father was a Scorpio Moon and my new step-father (my mom just married him in April) is, as well. Those are all I know of in my family, though there are likely others lurking about...

My father was seen by all of the rest of my family - who consistently have issues with one another, especially anymore - as a sweet, generous, giving, selfless, just, sensitive, funny, always-curious, hard-working, intelligent human being. I can only strive have those adjectives apply to me. He really was wonderful. He had faults, as well, of course, and death does tend to bring others to emphasize your strong points, but I can say - without feeling like I'm overlooking weaknesses for strengths - that he was one of the most amazing people I've known. He really beat himself up over anything he did wrong and I've certainly inherited this trait. Sometimes his temper was terrifying, even if it was pretty contained. He would turn red and shout, then say he was sorry and turn the blame inwards - and this was likely not a very healthy way to deal with problems. He struggled with depression. But he was always warm and sweet and was flexible and generous regarding others' needs, listened if there was a problem, was clever and always tried to help my sister and i see and learn new and different things, worked - as a talented lawyer - in a modestly-paying public defender job his whole career out of moral conviction, and absolutely loved children and his dog. This post has just turned into a gush about how much I miss him, it seems. I wish we'd been able to be more directly and openly affectionate, while he was alive. There was always a level of nervous distance that two Scorpio Moons tend to have when it comes to emotional honesty. I had a hard time telling him I loved him, even though I very much did. When I moved away from home to go to college, my last words to him (and my final words to him in person) were, "See you later," instead of crying and telling him I loved him and would miss him, as I did once I turned away and moved down the sidewalk out of range. I can think back to him and see a lot of my emotional turmoil in him. And I think about all he accomplished and all he gave, even with that angsty insecurity that a Scorpio Moon sometimes produces, and I feel inspired that I could manage to be something similar, perhaps, if I worked at it.

I am trying to get to know my new step-father better, but from what I know of him, so far, he is also a bit afraid of direct emotional expression, playing off much with a cool exterior, while he might be boiling inside. He's a very nice, capable, fun man, though, and I like him. My mom really does seem to draw Scorpio Moons to her.
