Today I feel like my mother.
I remember when I was in college, she called me to tell me my father had died. I kind of “knew it” already. And honestly I was relieved that it wasn’t my sister. Yes, that thought ran through my head. If someone had to die, I was glad it wasn’t her. Weird to think about it now. I knew it was a death call but not whose. And it just goes to show how estranged I was from my father.
But my mother was a Scorpio and I saw/heard her cry maybe… once? Or twice in my life. This was one of those times. And I know I’ve written about this moment before. My point is that no one wants their relationship to end. They had been divorced many years earlier and here she was calling me and she cried, I don’t hate him. How could I hate him. I don’t hate him.
Which reminds me, my father’s Yartzeit is next week. I know I know I told her I know.
Do Moon Pluto daughters always take care of their mothers? I never thought I did, never thought I had. But no one wants their relationship to end. You invest. 8th House right? Scorpio “rules” the 8th house, often referred to as the house of OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. Exchange of money, exchange of energy, exchange of life. The 8th House rules sex and death. 2nd House: yours. 8th House: theirs.
I have a friend with Scorpio Rising and a Scorpio Moon who is helping me a lot these days. Say what you will about Scorpio (and people do) this woman can give you her energy and it’s like a feeding tube. And I’m no Libra but I want there to be balance. She is saving me now. I will save her when and if she needs. I commit to this friendship as Saturn in Libra in my 2nd squares my 11th House of friendship! I am defining (Saturn) what I value (2nd house). Take that Saturn! I’m doing your bidding!
When a relationship ends, by death or any other way, it’s disorienting, like a car in reverse, but you’re not driving the car, and it’s still moving! WTF!
Relationships may end under the Sun in Libra opposing Uranus. Or begin. Or end. Or begin again. Fast fast fast like a trick of the knife. With Pluto involved? Sudden death of what you thought was possible is possible.

i knew it was a ‘death call’ when my sister called me about my grandma’s passing—–8H jupiter
my sister just gave birth to a moon/pluto in cap daughter and i can’t wait to see this unfold—-i thought of you (she’s got mars in cancer, too!!!)
thanks.
Mazel Tov! Hmm Does the Moon Pluto oppose her Mars in cancer?
hi, thanks
no, the orb is too wide
she is literally is a 0 degree cap moon
That’s funny: “Crying in public? Hell yes!… and Aries cannot be stopped!”
Uncharacteristically, I once sobbed myself to the point of using a large bath towel to soak up the mucus… and the tears, of course.
My ex was packing his stuff and the break up was a necessity because we could not agree on an important issue, yet we still loved each other. He had never seen me cry let alone SOB.
The poor man panicked and called my “bestie” who handed me another towel and left me in peace.. Bless her wisdom.. and practicality 😀
A familiar story. Love isn’t always enough 🙁
Hmmm…lemmie see…
1/ Looks after Mother….. check
2/ Would rather perform seppuku than cry in public or in front of another human (pets, rocks, inside of the car are OK)…. check
3/ Energy and will to support that’s innate, almost reflexive on a spinal level…. check
Perhaps I like your blog because when I read it I frequently have an “ahh” moment of recognition.”. It reminds me of those aspects I no longer notice and take for granted because they have been my modus operandi for 41 yrs.
I sometimes wonder what it would feel like to have a Scorp Moon and a loaded 8th house. But with my chart I think I have enough of the above energy. Phew!
My 2 cents: I think it would be different (if you had Scorp Moon or loaded 8th)
Hmm I think your Sun Sign, Joanna, is what gives you that reserve and hiding the tears. Well, I can say that a 1st House MP tends to be unfettered. Crying in public? Hell yes! Not a first choice but if it happens, it happens. 1st House gives that Aries flavor and Aries cannot be stopped!
With the 8th House (when I’m around people who have it) I feel this… literally… solid water. The fixed water of scorpio. The deep well. It is so comforting.
I know that feeling … “energy and will to support that’s innate, almost reflexive on a spinal level”
You *are* articulate, woman!
I agree with Kashmiri here – “meaning–sometimes Scorpio Moon feels more Scorpio that Scorpio Sun. I guess that wouldn’t make sense according to strict astrology, but the hidden private side of the Moon seems to befit Scorpio.”
Anyway, as a Scorp Moon+Asc, thank you! At least some people seem to get us! We WILL literally do anything for “our” people!
I am getting to realize this about Scorpio Moon. I am loving this Moon these days.
I’ve always been very protective of my mother.
Hi A, noticing the tarot relation in your blog lately 🙂
The 8th house scares me, I’m Scorpio Sun/Venus/MC so I guess I shouldn’t, but here I am. In a month time my Solar Return says I’ve 8th house Sun/Moon/Venus/Mercury, go figure I don’t seem to find anything positive about it on the internet :/
I think I’m understanding your post about not wanting relationships to end, as that is what I fear the most about this, losing someone I love.
The New Moon in Libra falls in the last degrees of my natal 8th house.
Where do one hide from the 8th house? nowhere!
I am way in a Tarot mood these days! The cards resonate for me so much, especially RW deck… Interesting the 8th scares you considering your chart.. makes me wonder if your Scorp takes some squres or other tense aspect….
Hide in the 9th!!!!!!!! 🙂
(meaning–sometimes Scorpio Moon feels more Scorpio that Scorpio Sun. I guess that wouldn’t make sense according to strict astrology, but the hidden private side of the Moon seems to befit Scorpio–esp. considering Sun is Leo’s world).
makes sense to me, lady!
and, really, the best astrologers are the ones who make leaps like that, like what you are writing here. They find the TRUTH that isn’t in the books 🙂
Do Moon Pluto daughters always take care of their mothers?
Well. We feed them, for good or ill. Even when we’re gone, or they’re gone, or whatever.
I’m glad you have a lovely Scorpio friend by your side. Love the Scorpios in my life, and as you know, my dude is Scorpio Moon/ASC too, like your friend. In a way I feel Scorpio is more itself with the Other luminary. In Croatia, everyone I met knew what they called their “under sign.” Very fitting.
Love to you, Aliza. You’re very special and I’m glad we’ve met.

Love you, Kashmiri xx Me too. Glad.
