The most understanding and understated of the Scorpios—this person is very serious and holds to his or her word. I know the Virgo Moon well, having grown up with a Mother owning this particular lunation, though a Scorpio Sun she had not. However, my cousin had, this exact combination, and she will be my reference here. The Virgo Moon is not the easiest lunation; what should flow and naturally wax and wane—I’m talking mood and desires, in Virgo tends to prematurely crystallize, and bring the person a good amount of stress when change is presented. I’ve known Virgo Moons who succumb to rage when plans are changed or when the roads they are traveling get lost. Earthy people are known for their senses of humor but the Virgo Moon person must plod rather slowly towards taking themselves and others less seriously. They are the epitome of the serious person. A Scorpio Sun doubles down on this. Scorpio people find it hard to laugh at themselves, especially when unevolved, because they are very easy to trigger, and you can basically draw a road map from what irritates them straight to the heart of the deeper issue. Here we have the sensitive, tenderly built Scorpio woven with the most anal-retentive and unemotional of all Moons. This is a precise, brilliant, deeply controlling person. A perfectionist of the highest order—the ethos of the Swords suit in Tarot. This is the coldest of the Scorpio archetypes for the way the person deals with everything didactically, when a simple hug or exchange of glances would have sufficed. They are a walking shield. Steely and exact (the one I know is a genius in mathematics), their hearts are reached through gestures in pragmatism rather than romance. The abstract is very important to them, though they might not put it that way. They value security and til-death-do-we-part loyalty; they will take nothing less. Love affairs are not for them or compromising their dignity in any way. They are firm with their ‘No’s’ and their values. They are really immovable and dense as rocks, these types, and absolutely irrefutable if they are convinced about something. Hard to soften, hard to soften, but Scorpio is the sign of being broken, burned, and born again, thus this Virgo Moon person will find that rage, yes, and will experience being burned up by it. Through some kind of harrowing loss, the introduction of death into the life, or something that the person cannot control, there will come a time when practicality and being to the purpose do not serve. Then, completely at a loss, the mystery of life will rush upon them and quite transform them. Afterwards, this Scorpio-Virgo will be a person who lends a hand, as skillful and attune to what the smaller details mean as ever, but slower to shoot something dead with their own convictions, because of how badly they have been hurt. In short, once this person’s heart is opened up, open it tends to stay, for Scorpios, no matter the Moon sign, do not move backwards, and then we have the most gently loving, true and loyal person. My cousin, brilliant as she is, had a daughter whose life was compromised by diabetes, a situation rife for her micromanaging, in fact, a never ending reason to micromanage. But sometimes falling apart is the best medicine. And that will never be written into the medical textbook. With Scorpio and Virgo we have the passive connection of water and earth, the makings of a very patient, gentle person. Earth is so static and absorbent of shocks; this person’s face reads like the strata of the earth. Virgo Moon people tend to wear their traumas as facial structure as they get older; what they could not or would not express gets etched in lines. But Scorpio, as a whole, expands the heart and the chest, and allows for much needed release of feeling. Deep, intentional, this person must always be taken seriously. They only say what they mean.
