It comes down to a choice of either taking the risk of being scared of everything, or chancing being right about certain things and ignoring them, only for them to come back and bite you on the bum.

It's the ultimate catch 22 and a real terror on one's peace-of-mind.

We have a lot in common.

I don't have scorpio moon (though I do have sun, venus and jupiter there) but I have cancer moon in the 12th house so I totally get the intuition thing. I don't know if it's because mine is cancer rather than scorpio but I don't suffer the paranoia.

In life I ALWAYS go with my instinct. It's never let me down. Ever. I am a number 16 birthdate though which numerologically means that my instinct could even save me from danger. So I always listen to it.
Sometimes if I don't know which path to take in life, I try and relax, and go with my 'feeling.'

I sometimes think that it's a curse to have an abundance of water in a chart, it makes us feel too much, imagine too much, sometimes fear too much....but it's a blessing too! I love to feel, it means I'm alive!
Listen to your instinct, not your heart, not your head, but your gut feeling - and therein lies the truth.

I love your insight and the way you expressed it. It IS kind of like that. Sometimes intuition can be confused with other-worldly passion.

A good point is made here, the scorpio moon perceives a lot, but also fears a lot. This is a moon sign of survival and strength. Only with meditative practice (this can take many forms) can the moon be harnessed appropriately. The moon is fall here in scorpio, one of the most difficult positions. The native wants to feel intensely but at the same time cuts off his or her emotions. This moon sign must learn to feel fully, and always, being very aware of moving into emotionally detached states. These states of detachment, while seeming comfortable, are destructive in the long run. The dam will break, and the banks will flood..

Only through intense spiritual practice can this moon sign be harnessed. Some may try through sex, alcohol, drugs, but only spiritual connection can master this moon sign. This can be accomplished through meditation, yoga, music, prayer, singing, athleticism...many other methods. This moon sign demands intensity, and demands self mastery, otherwise the native is adrift on a tide of intense impulses. Watchout that the sexuality isn't sublimated into strange areas, into eating, drugs, or other twisted (no offense intended here) desires. With mastery, the intense libido of this moon sign can be channeled into a creative area. This moon sign can move mountains, and make great charity workers, psychologists, scientists, doctors. Once mastered the amount of work/focus they have is incredible.

This moon sign is incredibly psychic, but as I said early, oh so afraid. They fear death intensely, and it preys on their minds almost daily. They hold on extremely tightly, then they let go and release. To curb the paranoia, the mind must be quieted through afformentioned spiritual practices. This native must alwasy remind him/herself that everything is OK. Periods of intense fear will no doubt plague the scorpio moon person, but they will usually overcome it. Once they realize their greatest enemy is their own mind, and their greatest friend is their higher self, they begin the road to self mastery.

This moon sign never has to worry about "shutting off" their paranoia, this moon sign is almost always aware of being in danger. It's survival mechanism is blown way out of proportion. This is such an incredible skill though, this intuitive compass helps the native navigate the social world with much grace.

I always stick to my feelings especially the negatives ones coming off other people.

It's just that I am vocal about these feelings now.
Try it, it's healthier.

Your personal description on having a Scorpio Moon is so elegant. Off the top of your head? The part you said about the Mooner's fearing death really surprised me, and someone else said they had the same feelings with a Scorp Asc.

But it's making me wonder if Scorpio energy needs to be placed in "certain" ways in order to harness what they already Rule. I guess that's why it's notoriously making our dammn selves our own worst enemy. But, when I say Rule, I mean Death, right?

So I'm wondering if there are Scorpish people who have never had that fear. If fear just comes with the territory, then there must be lots of interesting ways of channeling it. Remember, Scorpio is influenced by both Mars and Pluto.

Natasha that 12th house scorp moon is a very psychic position...do you remember your dreams? Do you ever have intense waking dreams/fantasies?

Danger? Yes, there are aggressive energies and I for one tap right into those sometimes. I love sports, and pushing myself physically.

It's hard to believe we are equal and can be as strong as the next person. The goal as I see it, is to master tasks to teach to others.

And I build things but I am better at tearing them down, reducing them and making them useful.

Some could say that's aggressive energy.
