Moon in Scorpio
The Moon is in fall in Scorpio: the feelings are intense, private and hard to soothe. Needs are for depth, loyalty and emotional truth; the Scorpio Moon can detect a lie in the room and cannot unfeel it. Comfort comes from intimacy with a very few, and from control. Resentment keeps well. The work is to let feelings be seen before they become strategy, and to trust before proof.
