  • With a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, underneath that cool image of yours is a very intense, forceful, and determined individual.

Whether on the tennis court or in the boardroom, you always seem to win, garnering respect and gaining influence.
  • For the individual with a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, your Cancerian protective shell creates an aura of intrigue and mystery about you. You guard your thoughts and feelings, revealing nothing that may expose your inner self. But you are, in fact, a very emotional individual. Your responses and reactions are based almost entirely upon how you happen to feel about the persona you are dealing with or the situation you are handling.
  • Reason be damned; for the Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon individual, intuition or gut reaction makes all the decisions. And, amazingly, you always seem to be right; shrewd and perceptive, you can sense who is trustworthy or when to take a risk.
  • Having a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, you take yourself so very seriously that it can be risky making fun of you. You yourself, however, are quite adept at sensing other people’s weak spots and would never be shy about pointing them out—bluntly, sarcastically, and, at times, cruelly. Exercise a little tact along with that sense of humor.
  • Of all the Cancer combinations, the Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon combination is one of the most prone to depression and morbidity. Learn to deal honestly with your emotions. Be less secretive with your feelings of hostility or hurt. It is better to deal with your problems up front than to surrender to silent sulking or to harbor a grudge.
  • With a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, life for you is seen as a constant battle. Suspicious and on guard, you are the tireless general, constantly planning your moves. You have an incredible memory, and you are never wrong. If someone should cross you, you’ll sit back, wait a while, and then plan your vengeance. A Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon individual is not above malice, pettiness, and vindictiveness.
  • For the individual with a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, like other highly competitive and aggressive individuals, you want to experience everything. Sensual and self-indulgent, you pursue your pleasures as tenaciously and lustily as you pursue your professional endeavors.
  • Having a Cancer Sun Scorpio Moon, there is also a deeply compassionate side to your nature. You have a protective impulse towards those weaker than yourself, and at some point in your life you have probably felt strong religious yearnings. All Moon in Scorpio natives are capable of soaring to spiritual and intellectual heights, but more often they prefer to probe the depths because it’s a lot more fun.
  • A shrewd realist, you work best where the competition is tough and the goals are well-defined.

  • If you were born with Scorpio Rising, you put the whole force of your personality behind everything you do. You are not a halfway person. Scorpio Rising individuals have an intensity, a dynamism that seethes and roils under the surface. Your willpower and determination are formidable.
  • Having Scorpio Rising, though you are sometimes viewed as a lone wolf, you do have an ability to work with people—actually, to lead people. You are strongly persuasive and vigorously pursue your goals, and in addition have the power to make others pursue the same goals.
  • Clever, creative, and resourceful, with Scorpio Rising, your fertile mind seems to be an inexhaustible source of ideas and suggestions. Your brain behind your cool facade is always ticking away. One of the things you must do is find out how something works, to dissect it, study it, and put it back together so that it works better. This is also true in artistic terms; you can do great visionary work if you have Scorpio Rising in your chart.
  • As a Scorpio Rising individual you are happiest when you can control from behind the scenes. You tend to be secretive and reserved, and shun the spotlight because you can’t work there unnoticed. If you are domineering, it is a subtle dominance, a kind of mind control.
  • Some people claim that they are hypnotized by Scorpio Rising individuals; it’s true that you have a way of knowing what others are thinking. Much of this comes from your acute powers of observation. You are a charming, witty conversationalist, but the acute observer will soon notice that it is the other person who is doing most of the talking.
  • With Scorpio Rising, you are usually quietly watching, waiting, observing— filing away information that will be useful later on. Scorpio Rising individuals have a reputation for a sharp temper; the reputation is deserved. When crossed, you can be cruel and biting. You tend to use any weapon at your disposal—from ridicule to playing on a person’s fears. In the heat of that moment, the Scorpio Rising must be the victor. Later, you are remorseful for having dealt wounds, though it is extremely hard for you to say so.
  • Scorpio is the astrological sign of hidden passion; Scorpio Rising individuals tend to have a secret love affair at least one time in their lives, and usually marry more than once. They may suffer more financial setbacks and disappointments than other rising signs; but no other sign is more victorious in the end.
  • As a Scorpio Rising individual you tend to have sharp features, a prominent nose, and large, hypnotic eyes. Sometimes your brows are thick and dark. Your body is agile and moves decisively.
  • The planet Pluto, which rules Scorpio, is very prominent in your birth chart. The influence of Pluto bestows powerful feelings and emotions, a sense of purpose, persistence, determination, plus the imagination and ability to make a successful start in a new direction. This planet’s influence also favors secrecy, suspicion, jealousy, and cruelty.
