Its a suprise!

BAM!

This sounds like its coming from a bad scorpio moon mouth

Next to a Capricorn Moon, Scorpio is traditionally presumed to be one of the more twisted Moons you can buy.

If being passionate, caring, profound, creative, and sexy is twisted, I'm ready to leap into the pretzel machine in the next sixty seconds. This may be a tough Moon sign, because the challenge is nothing less than mastery of the self.

Ach, and here's the rub! So many of us are threatened by displays of deep emotion that Scorpio Moons learn to hide their feelings when they are young. By the time they grow up, they've gotten good at hiding their reactions from you. What's unfortunate is that they have also learned to hide their reactions from themselves.

The men, especially, need a woman who's a bit of a psychologist, someone patient enough - and tough and fearless enough! - to help them to dig out the feelings they're so afraid to show.

The trickiest game they play boils down to a recurring, hidden script: "I dare you to guess what I need. I'll drag a red herring all over your path so you can't figure me out. And if you're not clever enough or caring enough to guess, I won't let you in."

Sometimes they use drugs, alcohol, or sneaky affairs to fool themselves that they are coping with themselves. Eventually their inherent intelligence decides to take over and in a swoop they give up their smoke-screen vices. You can't make them do it. But when they are ready, this Moon has the most courage and more will power than all the other signs put together. It isn't that they need courage to give up affairs or drugs or drink; it's the courage to look the fears in the face, fears that create need for vices.

They're fun to sell to. Let it be noble, let it be bizarre. Hang in tough, present your wares in a matter-of-fact manner. A take-it-or-leave-it stance seems to work the best. This Moon thinks it's John Wayne. He likes anyone who acts proud, talks tough, and walks tall.

You can tell these hip-shooters anything. They keep secrets.

Crisis is their favorite hobby. Give them some extreme situation, and they're in their element - Rocks of Gibraltar. They will create a crisis, or at least a burst into tears every so often, in order to release the steam that builds up inside. Police work, psychology, and rescue missions are all part of their talents.

Once they understand that they perceive even ordinary everyday occurrences as threats to their own authority, there is a chance of draining off some of the poisonous paranoia that plagues these frightened people. They need to feel in control so badly that they fail to see what's really going on. Then they strike out, cruelly, to let you know how badly you've hurt their feelings.

A day dawns when it occurs to them that it's okay to have vulnerable feelings and that sharing those feelings with someone you trust is the best protection against not getting hurt.
Until that day they live out their emotional days alone.

    I think so.

    "A day dawns when it occurs to them that it's okay to have vulnerable feelings and that sharing those feelings with someone you trust is the best protection against not getting hurt.

    That day will come when the bad scorpio moon becomes a good scorpio moon.

      Dear God. has someone been documenting my many relationships?

      I have always felt that if you are not clever or caring enough to guess what I need, or who I "really" am, you most likely are not worth even a minute of my time. So far, this is a good filtering mechanism for assholes and flakes.

        I mean, it's not if you get the guessing right or wrong, but more in the fact that you want to know me, and furthermore care to.

          Maybe I should stop playing games and be more open. Yes! That's what I'll try next time.

            Just accurate!!

            I wonder the game-playing thing is instinctive or deliberate.

    This one is far, far better than most, and more accurate.
    "the challenge is nothing less than mastery of the self." Now THAT is dead on target.

    BUt, as usual, I take exception, namely: "A day dawns when it occurs to them that it's okay to have vulnerable feelings"

    Who said feelings have to be vulnerable. Do we have to have vulnerable feelings, is that a requirement?
    Or does having feelings inherently make one vulnerable?

    When was the last time you were threatened by a display of deep emotion? Were you afraid?

    OMG, I'm sounding like Andy Rooney!

      I have never been threatened by a display of deep emotion, but I think my scorpio moon friend was. He was threatened by his own display of any emotion, except anger.

      Why does intimacy always lead to conflict? After each interpersonal relatioship, I grew more cautious, but I have still failed to prove to myself that intinacy doesn't always lead to conflict. Is it just human nature to repel each other when they become close? Or is the distance I keep with other people too close to bear?
      I am sorry for flying off on a tangent, but really can't help to be broody now.

    Just for the record, I need to feel in control of myself, not other people. I believe the primary drive of the Scorpio Moon is inner control, inner discipline, and the channeling of intense emotional content and power into constructive ends.

    I grant there is an element of fear, fear of themselves. Not a fear of losing authoriy, but aninner

    Oh poo - I'm going to bed.

      Can I add: he first idealizes a person, and when he is offended, he devalues him/her.

      I am thinking if in intimate relationship people get offended easily, then we probably should avoid intimacy. People usually forgive acquaintances and don't hold grudge against them.
      It is strange that people always go out of their way to get intimacy from me, once they get it, they abuse it. I start thinking, it is human nature? or my intimacy is poisonous?
