Moon in Sign
Scorpio (Western) · Libra (Vedic)
The Moon in Scorpio plunges emotions to their deepest and most transformative depths. Feelings are intense, private, and all-or-nothing, with a powerful instinct to uncover hidden truths.
Why two systems?
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac aligned with the seasons. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac aligned with the actual constellations, offset by ~24° due to Earth's axial precession.
