Alanis Morissette’s birth chart
Moon in Scorpio
1 June 1974, 09:39, Ottawa, Canada
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Alanis as “you”.
The position of the Moon is a very important point of one's personal horoscope. In contrast to the Sun, the Moon travels much faster. It makes the entire path through 12 signs in one Moon cycle (which lasts approximately 28 days) and so changes its influence much more quickly. However, because of its size and proximity, its influence is the strongest for some individuals.
The Moon in personal horoscope presents your subconscious self, your emotions and sensations. Its position describes how you react on a subconscious and intuitive level.
Of course the Moon position acts completely differently on someone who has the Sun in Aries that on someone who has the Sun in Cancer. That is why it's important that you keep other analyses in mind when reading the horoscope and try to harmonize all of them.
Moon in Scorpio
You are a strong and intensive person who finds it difficult to make compromises. You don't easily control your strong emotions and often react exaggeratedly. You have a very jealous, sometimes even revengeful nature. You have a strong influence on people, but also a tendency to overpower them. You have difficulty truly trusting. You always suspect there is a hidden motive present.
You are very instinctive, passionate and sexual. You have an attractive and magnetic, sometimes even a wild nature. You are ambitious and competitive, someone who is bound to succeed. You are stubborn and once you decide on something, you almost never change your opinion and even if you do, you never admit it.
Demanding, accurate, uncompromising
You are prone to being a perfectionist and because of this also extremely self-destructive. You simply demand too much, from yourself and from others, that is why life with you is sometimes impossible. You have to learn to make compromises and trust that they are good enough; you are constantly competing with yourself and with others.
You love good, very seasoned and spicy food, fish and sea food. You possess a lot of aggression, that is why it is advised you do martial arts. The right tea for you is balm, in combination with chamomile, milfoil, lime, marjoram or centaury.
Moon in 4th house
You are a sensitive and creative person with strong intuition and vivid imagination. Quiet place (preferably and usually your home) is essential for your work and creations. You probably work at home or somehow from the background, in solitude. Perhaps you work in writing, psychology, psychiatry, clergy, poetry, music, commerce or marketing.
Moon in domicile
You are sensitive to external influences and negative vibrations from others and from the environment; your impressions are strong, so you quickly change your feelings and others sometimes find you moody and you are not understood. If you are in good mood, you are very funny, fun, pleasant, compassionate and warm, if you are in a bad mood, it is clear that everyone around you feel bad. You are usually prone to enjoying family happiness in a calm home environment, but you also love travelling.
Moon trine Mercury
With such trine, you are very active, flexible and sociable, that is why you are liked in all sorts of companies. You like being efficient and useful, you are constantly planning, your mind is always active (often you are also always in action physically).
Moon opposition Venus
This aspect influences strong emotions and sometimes gives the feeling of inner unfulfillment, so although you are shy, you are often greedy in your emotions and responses; you quickly get upset and react strongly. Because you invest a lot in emotional relationships, you sometimes expect too much, so in this area you often experience disappointment. Being too enthusiastic, you sometimes experience just the opposite of what you want, so with excessive display of love, which is actually an eager desire for it, you drive away some people instead of attracting them. You love pleasures of all kinds (and if other positions or aspects contribute to it, you can be prone to having health issues, such as problems with circulation and obesity). For you it is advisable to be in contact with nature; contact with earth and water is very healing.
Moon square Mars
You are usually a fast, restless and impulsive person. For you, everything is happening too slowly, because you tend to act (too)fast and also to speed up events, which sometimes leads to having conflicts with others. You have a lot of energy, which you know how to direct and use well. You have a very passionate nature and are often involved in dramatic relationships, sometimes also colored with violence (if other aspects or positions also indicate this). You are combative and competitive, have an eager and impetuous character, that is why others sometimes hardly keep up with your tempo and they find you difficult. It is useful and advisable for you to be involved in any kind of sport.
Moon trine Saturn
With such aspect, you are usually calm and reserved, yet friendly and polite. You usually have nice manners, you respect tradition and values, you are interested in history and origins of all things. You are often very methodical and systematic. You have healthy and realistic plans and goals, which you fulfill or get closer to gradually, without haste and impatience (if, of course, other positions or aspects don't have a different and stronger influence). Because you are respectful, organized and have good working habits, co-workers and bosses like you. You are reasonable and reconcilable and usually also have good diplomatic abilities.
Moon square Ascendant
You are extremely emotional and sensitive, but you often hide your feelings and can be an amazing actor and sometimes also manipulate others in fear that they would not manipulate you. Your well-being often changes rapidly; all your actions, attitude towards the world and relationship with the world depend on how you feel. You can have a very warm, witty and pleasant character, but you can quickly become moody, gloomy, over-sensitive and difficult, that is why others don't always understand you or can't find the common language with you. You often have a talent for art and art is also useful and advisable for you, because you can direct yourself towards positive goals and express your rich inner world.
