Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Scorpio

With both the Sun and the Moon in Scorpio, the qualities of this sign are doubly strong in your character.

Your life energy is directed toward deep transformation, both of yourself and of the people closest to you. Your will is very strong and your energy is powerful. You love everything hidden, secret and unspoken. You always need to get to the bottom of things, even when that is painful or uncomfortable. Your gift lies in letting go of what has outlived its purpose, and thanks to it you live through crises creatively and come out renewed and transformed. You are perceptive and pointed in what you say. You prefer to stay in the background, and from there you know how to guide and influence others very skillfully. You have strong psychological gifts and a fine sense of people, and so influence over others becomes one of the central themes of your life. This power serves you best when you use it openly and with care.

You make your decisions privately, relying on your strong intuition, and you carry them out discreetly, with a fine sense of the right moment. Your nature is passionate, though this does not show at first sight. Jealousy can run very strong in you. You are good at managing other people's resources, money included. Your emotional memory is strong, and you remember a hurt for a long time and may feel the wish to answer it, so learning to release old hurts frees a great deal of your energy. Other people's opinions matter little to you. You see no reason to avoid conflict, you are ready to fight for what matters to you, and sentimentality and easy indulgence are not your way. Questions of life and death draw you. You tend toward intense self-analysis and self-criticism. You are willing to take risks, whatever the circumstances. You are very affectionate toward the people who like you. You tend to look at everything and everyone with a critical eye.

You adapt through your strong innate intuition, reading people's strengths and sensitive spots with great accuracy. At home you love to investigate, and you could be called a household detective. Your feelings run deep and intense, and at times you give off a sense of emotional weight. Somewhere inside there is an urge to live through strong, unsettling emotions, sometimes even ones that tear things down. At home you tend to take the lead firmly, and you sense the atmosphere of the house and the moods of your loved ones very well. You make sure there is no clutter and nothing old or outworn in your home, and you love a thorough clear-out.

Food and sleep interest you little, and it is worth giving them a little more care. You feel anxious when you lose control of what is happening. Even in your care for others, a possessive note can come through. You express your emotions with restraint, even when strong passions are at work in your soul. At times you may feel a hidden urge to shake up a relationship that has settled into harmony. You like to rest where you can feel strong emotions and thrills, and you relax where no one will disturb you and you can attend to your private affairs. Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both directed toward transforming yourself and the world around you. Your emotions and your need for privacy can run very strong, and at times you may find it hard to show lightness, flexibility, warmth and generosity. Letting people see your warmer side is part of your path. In a woman's chart, this combination can be more demanding, and adapting to others may take more effort.
