Scorpio Sun and Aries Moon

This combination is intense, having Mars as the ruler of both Moon and Sun. The Aries Moon alone portends that there is great joy in fighting, in shocks, and standing tall—alone. There’s a struggle between the power of such a Moon, whose sheer magnanimity and ego-delight unconsciously creates these lonely boundaries, and the emotional yearning for closeness that comes with owning a Scorpio Sun. There is a love of being one’s self that no one can take away, but the Scorpio Sun fine-tunes this blunt portrayal into a complexity of deeply hidden intentions. The Aries Moon—always brash and the eternal child—holds the reins behind an extremely exacting mind and an unbelievably sensitive body-force. This combination takes no prisoners and will suffer more than any other sign at a whisper of defeat. There is a thickheadedness about reaching one’s goal that nothing and no one can penetrate until the goal is reached or defeat certain. Even if defeat is nigh, such a sorry outcome is not to believed at first sight and will be fought against with a fervor that is a sight to see. Scorpio’s prowess with denial, manipulation, and force will be kicked into full gear to save an outcome, which indicates the tendency for quincunx signs 150 degrees apart to be each other’s worst enemy. The person in such an opportunistic and defeatist state has more emotional force and agony than a tornado over the plains. When satisfied, this person rests, for a short time, but the adventure of life soon calls again. There is no one more bold in body, more ecstatic in expression, and determined to experience his or her impulses than this combination. Anxiety could wreak havoc in this person’s body if there’s a feeling of missing out, but the double ruler of Mars pretty much protects the blood flow and muscular strength all throughout the life. Loyalty is deeply important—they’re not fickle at heart, though Scorpio’s lower aspects, such as hiding away or imagining revenge, are almost irresistible indulgences with the solar flare heat that is an Aries Moon. Cabernet wine and lightning over the sea describe the mortal ache of this combination. Experiences must be very high and varied, or this person feels quite disappointed. The Scorpio Sun alone suggests that stages of consciousness will be overcome in this life—thus, if this combination matures—later than everyone else—the person can solve any problem that ever existed, has enough energy to run circles around the lot of them, and can show by presence and sheer power how it’s done. In love the person must learn to speak honestly, without fear of outcome, and learn when to take time alone, before built up anger forces them to. The Scorpio-Aries should strive to be bold as well as transparent and trust that whatever waterway that opens in the universe, which is out of their control, is what will lead them to their dreams. Whether caught in dead-ends or on an open highway, this person lives life almost always in the realm of the exotic. Embodiment is more important than career fulfillment. The watery sun and fiery moon cast an emotional, spirit-essence, burning glaze over everything. There is the tendency to dead-end, bottom-out, wail in defeat, without even noticing the pale edge of a new dawn. This combination is that of my oldest soul-sister, my partner in crime, who had no fears in her youth, and has the loudest laugh. She is the most beautiful and brazen of them all. This combination is that of the waxing three-quarter moon, indicative of a personality that is always rushing towards the fullest experience, and has the skillset to match.
