In articles about scorpios sun/moon...they say that scorpio types can see through or read people.
Is there a truth to this?
If so, How much detail can you grasp from reading "people"? and are you correct about your readings/assumptions?

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 5:34 AMI've read that too about Scorpio Moons, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I've got my Moon, Venus and Ascendant in Scorpio (Moon in 1st House, Venus in 12th House), and I will definitely admit to being VERY receptive to all sorts of influences around me, be they from people, moods, weather, colours, small insignificant incidents, and so on. But as far as "reading people" go, I'm not so sure I'm very gifted. I almost always find that my first impression of people are never like the last. My impressions of people change over time. (or maybe it's their moods that influence me?)
I will however say that once I get to know someone, once I've had time to "feel them out" so to speak, I get a pretty clear image (at least I think so myself) of who they are and where they come from. But I can never on the first meeting say that I know what that person is all about. I've truly never been able to do that. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 4:04 PMOh my goodness, you sound exactly like me! ...Well in this respect anyway, since I don't know you very well so I can't really compare and contrast. Ahem. Anyway, I also tend to misjudge people when I base it on first impressions. It takes some time in order to see all sides of their personality and I sometimes forget that and so, I end up making stupid judgement calls. Sometimes...I've gotten better at it.
But I love the explanation you offered up: maybe it's their mood at the time of your first meeting with them that you read.
I had actually started losing confidence in my ability to read people just recently because I found myself coming to the wrong conclusions about people after my first meeting with them. Then I realized what went wrong: before that, I just didn't care. I usually didn't form an opinion about anyone until they became a constant figure in my life (not necessarily important...but always around for one reason or another...e.g. classmate) .
But I could never figure out exactly why my first 'reading' of someone was wrong compared to my later 'readings', because I just as strongly...er...for lack of a better word....felt them. Blah. Anyway, your insight actually provides a great way of explaining the situation. Maybe what we read during the first meeting is just as correct as what we read as time goes by, but it's just the first piece...we just have to observe to find the other pieces in order to complete the puzzle.
(That doesn't make us sound too special, now does it? I think most people can do just that...so meh. *shrugs*...it's probably not just a Scorpio moon thing.)

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 11:42 AMIt takes a long time to get to know people. And many conversations. And it is worse on the net. But if someones ambitions are so great that they will hurt me in order to reach those ambitions it does not take much to see through that.
When people are kind, polite and concerned for you it comes out pretty quickly. You have to take people as they come. Are you a scopio person ed?

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 11:48 AMFor the most part I can read people extremely well. I don't necessarily know if that's my moon in scorp, rising in cancer, or a combination of both. I did have to grow to be able to do this though. I've only been able to do it for about a year or so.
Then again, maybe it just depends on the people you surround yourself by.
Scorpio moons can see through people though. They have the ability to put theirself in a place and know how it is even if whatever it is hasn't ever happened to them. They give good advice too. Because of that? maybe. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 12:03 PMit's more than "seeing through" or "reading"
emotions don't always have correlating words..visions..feelings
instinct..intuition..trusting your gut
developing a faith in your personal connection to mamma Gaia, the universe and the divine

Tue, June 19, 2007 - 2:17 PM"They have the ability to put theirself in a place and know how it is even if whatever it is hasn't ever happened to them."
Christina, I can relate to that. I frequently do that. I always feel that I can accept people for who they are if I can understand where they are coming from, so I'll put myself in their place to gain new insight. It works too, whether or not I've been there myself.

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, June 19, 2007 - 7:25 PMI have Pisces sun, not sure if that makes a difference, and Scorpio moon, I won't say my intuition is 100% all the time, but it is definitely pretty close. I guess I don't really try to "read" people or figure them out, I think it's just a natural thing. I quietly observe until I have my opinion formed, which usually doesn't take very long. Almost always, the first opinion I form of people tends to stay forever. I seem to put most in either one of two categories: kind heart/caring/empathetic/unselfish or selfish/self-centered/they may love and be nice on the outside but underneath it all they will always have self-concern before others. I find most people fit one or the other, and I tend to be able to see which within 5 minutes of conversation. Of course, I am still friends and friendly towards both types, and many of the people I love as friends fit into the 2nd, but I just know not to fully trust them, of course then again it's hard for me to fully trust anyone so.
I seem to have a knack for this with relationships. Almost right away I can tell if a relationship I am in is going to work or not, be long lasting, or not, which person is going to feel more vs. less, what potential problems will arise, etc. For some stupid reason I continue on with the ones I get bad vibes from, duh on my part. My first intuition never fails me in that aspect though, I just need to learn to listen to it earlier than later. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, September 4, 2007 - 7:44 PMwow you would be sensitive to a very high degree with Sun Pisces and Moon Scorpio. That is intense, though Pisces may cause confusion at times. No doubt you are extremely sensitive to th emost subtle envirnmental, emotional, undercurrents and changes in the air.

Re: can you "read" people?
Thu, June 21, 2007 - 7:13 AMYes I can read people and have often taken an instant dislike to people who appeared to be quite amiable at the time. They've always shown themselves up later though. I can also see goodness in people too. It's weird, I notice people who are either very good or really bad, it's like your normal everyday Joe doesn't make a blip on my radar because they're no threat but have no sparkle either. I can't read myself though. I'm very mixed up most of the time with big mood swings. I'm also HOPELESS at being able to tell when a guy likes me but can tell when they like someoe else...weird. I'm Cancer sun, Scorpio moon and rising. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 4:14 PMLOL...darn and here I sat, thinking I was special. j/ks. I can read other people pretty well (just need a little time), but I can't read myself for the life of me. I experience extreme mood swings too...even though my Taurus sun should have calmed me down...but nope. Scorpio moon gets all the attention. And about the guy liking me...SAME! Unless someone TELLS me (and even then I tend not to believe them...paranoia/suspicion...another Scorpio trait...sigh), I won't have the slightlest clue, BUT I can tell when a guy likes someone else...or when a girl does. Hehe...or when they're good for one another...if the relationship will last or not. etc...etc...
Oh and JUST the other day I was just telling a friend, "I feel really bad for anyone who has a Cancer sun & Scorpio Moon or vise versa..."
I mean I go through SERIOUS mood swings and I have a Taurus sun...I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to have your combination. (But aside from the emotional trauma you experience everyday, it has a lot of great qualities: the cancer's gentleness mixed with scorpio's drive and determination AND a receptive personality that's probably close to being psychic...you're practically a powerhouse. cough. Yes, and I'll stop talking like a dork right.....about....now.)

Re: can you "read" people?
Sat, August 4, 2007 - 3:42 AMI can really read people well. It's one of the only things that I am fully confident in myself about. I may not know everything about you when I first meet you, but most often, it is a bad idea to hide ulterior motives from me, since I can generally pick them out right away. I also am good at knowing just what a perons is tryin to get at without them actually getting around to saying it. And I know when someone is lying right away. It just gets me immediatly. And I can pick out false compliments immediatly.
And if I meet a person more than once or twice, I can figure out a lot about people. Little details, and pick up on the slightest gestures.
What really gets me laughing though (not at the person, but makes me laugh afterwards.) is how many people seem to trust me completely. They'll meet me a couple times, and suddenly they'll give me all the little details of their life. Of course, it's very rare that I trust back, but I find it humorous that people will sit here and just tell me about their lives. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Mon, August 13, 2007 - 5:56 PMI have moon in scorpio and the truth is that I cannot read people at all. The only thing is that I am very sensitive to my surrounding. If I feel uncomfortable with that specific person, I am not able to communicate well or trust. However, I have been lied by people, so many betrayals from friends and the truth is that our moon in scorpio does not completely influence our relationship with people. Our moon only influence our emotions and mood, so extreme emotions are what sometimes govern our head in a particular time, so our asumptions could be wrong. -

I can't help but wonder if being able to read people isn't like driving and sex: everybody thinks they're good at it.
I bet if you asked Pisces the same question they would point to their sensitive nature giving them an edge in reading people.
Ha ha, I suppose some other signs might just smirk and refuse to let on that what they look for is how to best get their way!
Are we sensitive to others or just exquisitely to ourselves? -

Re: can you "read" people?
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 6:26 PMi don't know...i'm comparing myself to family members but...usually when they read people, they're way off. i tend to get into little tiffs with them about their perceptions and then i end up being right in the end. they don't disagree was much with my insights anymore. it's the same with some of my other friends...they preceive a person differently than i do...and we actually sat a new acquaintance down and went straight into the topic (mainly from my doing...aries in venus makes me a little too social at weird times :P) and i stated what i thought about her, and my friend stated what she thought about her....i ended up being right more often than her. it's happened with other friends too...when we meet new people and somehow they come up in a later conversation and we give our opinions on them...mine turns out to be more true than the others. (save for one or two other friends who are also very receptive.)
but of course...i'm not ALWAYS right...sometimes a friend might pick up on a personality trait that i didn't catch. or they were completely right about the person as a whole than i was....all i'm saying is more often than not, a few friends from my group and i are usually better at reading people than others are.
i don't know if you're like us...probably not, u seem like a sane person :P...but try it sometimes with ur friends. sit down and seriously discuss other people you've met with your friends. not in the mean way just...as a matter-of-factly...kinda...way. yeah....but you can only find proof if you actually meet those people u've discussed again...and maybe on a regular basis. don't need to become close, just talk once in a while and come in contact with briefly ever so often. see if the perceptions were right or wrong.
it's actually pretty fun if you're weird like me. :P
sorry to disagree. now, if you had argued that being good at reading people doesn't really depend on the stars...I wouldn't have anything to say against that. =D for me, astrology's just for fun. (but that just might be the sceptical scorpio in me! :P ahem...anyway....)

Re: can you "read" people?
Tue, August 14, 2007 - 1:29 PMMelissa Maybe your missing these:
Saturn in Scorpio
You are very aware of vulnerabilities, in yourself and others. You also have a natural ability to see into the hidden depths; that which underlies and informs the materal world around us. Keeping secrets is easy for you and you may often find yourself in the position of trusted confidant. You may attempt to deny your own passions, but you need to accept instincts, attachments and all froms of pure experience as part of your unique process of individualization.
and this:
Uranus Semisquare Pluto
Secrets have a short half-life around you, for you have them out in a wink of an eye. You are brilliant when it comes to insights into the mind, psychology, and motivation -- yours or others'. Your intensity is obvious, and some may prefer to keep their distance rather than subject themselves to your laser eye. Nothing is passed over without being turned inside and out. Your analytical powers are superb, and you enjoy finding new avenues of inner growth.
Neptune Sextile Pluto
You work with real imagination and understanding in areas of the mind that are the most personal or private -- depth psychology. You are like a midwife of the spirit, assisting at the birth of each individual going through a spiritual or re-birth process. You accept the natural process of birth, spiritual and physical, and have dedicated yourself to helping it along. You would make a great teacher in these areas.
Pluto in Scorpio
You tear through appearances in an effort to get beneath, behind, and at the heart or essence. You may find psychology, initiation, mysticism and the occult of great interest. Intense personal change and inner growth are lifelong habits.
Pluto in the 1st House
You are very out-front and candid, probably not known for your great sense of diplomacy or tact. Your intensity and passionate approach to life are obvious to all who meet you. You are driven to penetrate the superficial and get at the essential.
Scorpio on the 2nd House Cusp
Scorpio is intense, passionate, and very personal. It rushes past superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. A loyal friend but a fanatic foe, this sign does well in politics and all areas where someone who dares is rewarded. Associated with sexual energy, Scorpio loves to get involved, going down deeper, coming up dirtier, and laying bare anything that lies hidden there.
Sun in the 8th House
"What you see is what you get" is not enough for you. You want more than appearances and are willing to dig down to get at the heart of things. You work through all that is superficial, no matter what kind of personal sacrifice is required.
Mercury in the 8th House
You have a very analytical bent, and your mind excels at making practical decisions. Your ideas run deeper than superficial issues which could mean an interest in depth psychology and even occult and mystical subjects.
Some of these "MAY" be typical of Scorpio moon people. -

Re: can you "read" people?
Fri, August 24, 2007 - 5:34 PMWe are born to get into psychology, metaphysics, even mythology ( I agree on it ). Our determination is our key to success but what I say about our assumptions being wrong is maybe truth. Our feelings and emotions make us perceive somebody in a wrong way , for that reason is important to dig into a person and then have a profound understanding about his or her motives. It is difficult because even the nicest person in this world has something to hide in his/her personality. Nobody is perfect, including us. I love psychology, sociology, the occult however I am very vulnerable about what I feel. I try not to be controlled by my emotions, it could kill me... some scorpio moon have emotional problem such as anxiety or depression or paranoia and these emotional issues do not let us to have a clear view about our surrounding, thats why I say that we are not so good on reading people.

Re: can you "read" people?
Sun, August 26, 2007 - 6:45 PMMy dear John, yeah I missed those in my chart, but I have this information: (I would have loved to be libra 100%, having scorpio in our important planets make us a very complex person for sure)

Pluto Libra 26.48 Midheaven Virgo 1.27
Lilith Capricorn 13.18 XI Libra 3.54
Asc node Cancer 6.52 XII Scorpio 7.53
Moon in Scorpio
You are especially sharp at focusing on what is important in a situation, particularly in a long-term affair, and acting upon it accordingly.
This ability may be helpful in the long run, but it may cause you to miss some opportunities if you wait too long for a potential lover to open up to you.
Very likely you will choose a partner who takes life less seriously than you do, someone who will provide daily happiness and let you handle the larger problems.
In an ideal relationship, you may totally transcend your personality in sexual consummation, making it an almost religious experience.
Yours is a passionate emotional life. Intense feelings and strong attachments make for hot times. You are fiercely loyal. Moon in Scorpio is secretive and not at all superficial. When displaying how you feel about a particular person or situation, its really 'all or nothing' with you. You take more than you give emotionally, and this may be due to unresolved issues from your early upbringing. However, this is also an excellent Moon placement for business, detective work and the like, giving you a keen sense for power and 'behind the scenes' operations.
Psychology -- in particular group work -- is one area that you can always look to for support and encouragement. You may find yourself counseling or ministering to others, helping them to understand and accept their lives.
Jupiter in Scorpio
An in-fighter, with animal-like instincts, you love being where the action is most intense. Your penetrating mind gets through the B.S. and straight to the bottom line. Exciting to be near, you are an entrepreneur, attracting luck to yourself through your willingness to dig in deeper and hold on tighter than those around you.
You enter new relationships very carefully and with grave consideration.
Once involved, however, you want to become totally immersed in love in order to achieve the greatest creativity and satisfaction. You must find a lover who appreciates the generous physical aspects of lovemaking that you desire.
Under ideal conditions, sex is a source of strength and balance to you. It can energise your daily life and enable your creativity of expression to flow more swiftly and smoothly.
You could excel in a career that involves understanding and self-sacrifice. Psychology, counseling -- guiding others to be forgiving and accepting -- may be a special skill that you have. Work with mental patients, prison inmates, and the like is possible.
Uranus in the 12th House
You could be unconventional in matters of psychology, the psyche, and all that is mystical or spiritual. Unusual ways to help or care for others -- insight into accepting life and self-sacrifice -- are yours.
