Moon in Scorpio in the Third House

Scorpio is the astrological sign of death and regeneration, also of extremes of emotion. The effect of Scorpio is to underline the Moon’s sensuous power and at the same time bring out its forcefulness. If you have your Moon in Scorpio you have a spiritual nature and intense feelings that motivate your actions.

You are very clever at hiding your true feelings. A Moon in Scorpio is one of the more difficult lunar positions. Though you are driven by strong passions you tend to deny that they are your motivation. You often disapprove of your emotions (for example, your anger or jealousy), and therefore keep your reactions hidden under a calm, agreeable surface. Having your Moon in Scorpio, you can exercise great self-control. If an experience becomes painful, you cut yourself off from your feelings (in effect, kill your pain) rather than continue to suffer. You particularly dread any form of rejection.

As an individual with your Moon in Scorpio, your ability to deaden feelings allows you to feel in control, but it is also the path to slow destruction of the spirit. In Scorpio, the lesson of finding your Moon’s true potential for wisdom and self-mastery is often difficult. Basically, you must learn to let go emotionally and feel your pain, and through the experience expand your phenomenal ability to love.

A Moon in Scorpio individual possesses enormous willpower and acute powers of observation. Your judgments are shrewd and accurate. You are blessed (and/or cursed) with a phenomenal memory. This is usually a great aid to you in your work, but it causes you to brood over an emotional wound or injury. Some Moon in Scorpio types will never forget and will wait years to get revenge. This does not necessarily mean that you are cruel and vengeful, but at any time in life you can instantly recall a slight to your pride – remember exactly what the other person said and how bitter you felt at the time.

Having your Moon in Scorpio, your persistence and determination enable you to rise above obstacles, and the Moon in Scorpio placement unfortunately has more obstacles than others. There is usually a secret sorrow or trouble in the lives of Moon in Scorpio individuals that very often concerns family problems or health. This lunar position creates a need for escape into fantasy, although higher Moon in Scorpio types use the spiritualism that is so much a part of this sign to do work that benefits humanity.

With your Moon in Scorpio, though passion is always a factor with you, your sexuality can be sublimated in other areas, such as creative work or a career that demands self-sacrifice. Work is important to you, for it is through work and effort that you are best able to express yourself. You have high standards, and pride of craftsmanship is visible in all your endeavors. Having your Moon in Scorpio, you tend to be ambitious and are endowed with executive ability. This is especially true if your Sun or Ascendant is in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).

As an individual with your Moon in Scorpio, without even being aware of it you possess a sensuality that attracts the opposite sex. This is often a source of difficulty in your love life, and many Moon in Scorpio individuals marry more than once. A fear of being controlled is at the core of your relatie issues. For you to be in a position of emotional vulnerability puts you in a classic Scorpio deathlike situation, for to be unsafe means you are at the mercy of another person. Having your Moon in Scorpio, it is almost impossible for you to put complete trust in someone else, and it takes a long time for you to commit yourself fully. The secret is your great need for emotional security and, in a sense, there is no security that is secure enough. However, once you feel unthreatened, you are capable of deep love.

Moon in the 3rd House:

The dynamics associated with the Moon in the 3rd House may make your emotions more evident, both to yourself and others. There is a natural tension in the Moon in the 3rd House placement. This is that there tends to be a constant interaction between the interior of your psyche and your external environment. You may find this tension motivating and stimulating. It may lead you to approach your immediate dealings with the world using your emotions to discover and gain information about your world. In this sense, you are able to feel your environment and this intuitive approach to being in your surroundings can be of great benefit.

The intuitive approach to your environment brought on by having your Moon in the 3rd House generally requires a fairly high degree of self-awareness and emotional awareness. Otherwise, you are likely merely to be reactive to your environment. The Moon’s association with family and the 3rd House’s association with siblings and early childhood suggest that you may maintain close family bonds, particularly with brothers and sisters and also with childhood friends.

Onzekerheden

Having your Moon in the 3rd House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be afraid to display your real emotions or bring them to a point where they can be shared with others. Doing so would inform you of a deeper dimension to life but, subconsciously, you are afraid of what getting in touch with your deeper emotions might lead to. As a result, you bring to the surface only a superficial emotionality, thus protecting your sensitive core from the harsh realities of the world. With your Moon in the 3rd House, living on the surface and constantly aware only of your external environment, you have lost contact with your deeper emotions and those superficial feelings that pass for emotion become real to you. You may think that you are very emotional and you may even appear so to others but it is all on the surface. You are afraid to get in touch with your deep emotions, lest the reality of what you consider to be your life is revealed.

Focus van emotionele ontwikkeling

With your Moon in the 3rd House, you are likely to have begun to develop emotionally relatively early in life, stimulated by your interaction with siblings or childhood friends. You are apt to continue to develop emotionally by interacting with your immediate environment and dealing with immediate circumstances. As you mature emotionally, you learn to have a more controlled and considered emotional response, rather than a conditioned, reactive response to people and events in your environment.
