How to Deal with a Scorpio Mom
As someone who grew up in a house full of Scorpio’s, I’d like to think that my fair share of experiences with this water sign has made me understand them more than almost any other sign (as much as they hate thinking anyone has been perceiving them). And as someone was raised by one, I’ve made some interesting observations about these mothers born from October 23 - November 21 and their parenting style.
Growing up I always had a fascinating relationship with my mother. It wasn’t always roses and gold (hello, I’m an Aries, and my mom is a Scorpio, can it get any more chaotic than that?), but as I’ve grown older and started spending more time with her, I’ve really come into understanding and appreciating her nature and parenting style, and why she does or did what she does. And as someone who obviously loves astrology, and has a family full of Scorpios (and Libra’s, but that’s another story for another day), I’ve really come to appreciate and respect the sign.
Having a Scorpio mom can be a unique and intense experience, as she is characterized by her passionate and determined nature. Here are some common traits and experiences you might encounter:, and how to deal with them if needed:
Passionate and Loving
A Scorpio mom loves deeply and fiercely. She is likely to be very dedicated to her children and family, showing her love through actions and a strong emotional presence. My mother was and has always been the rock in our family, and I never had to question the love she had for us or the sacrifices she made. Scorpio’s loving and intense nature, especially towards her loved ones will always triumph over anything.
Protective and Loyal
Scorpio are incredibly protective of their loved ones. They will go to great lengths to ensure their children are safe and secure, often putting family first. Now I know most people will say all their parents will do this, but I’ve really noticed that Scorpio moms will really do anything to keep their kids’ names, legacy and legal matters in their best interest (hello Kris Jenner?).
Short Temper
As cool calm and collected as they may seem, people tend to forget that Scorpio is ruled by the planets Pluto and Mars - the planet of aggression, sex and war. When angered, Scorpios can react with great intensity. Their responses might be more passionate and forceful than expected, even if the trigger seems minor. A piece of advice on this is to just let them blow off steam when they need to.
They WILL make sure their families are provided for.
Maybe I’ll do a separate blog on the gold diggers of the zodiac (lol), but all jokes aside, I will say a Scorpio woman will likely make sure they are in a relationship with or have a child with someone who can provide for them and their family. Sure, this sign loves love, but they also love power, status and control. The reason I say this is because Scorpio is ruled by the 8th house in astrology, which represents relationships, subconscious, intimacy, power, inheritance and legacy. I just don’t know of that many Scorpios that didn’t get into a relationship and didn’t benefit financially from it. So when your Scorpio (and honestly probably Capricorn) parent gives you relationship advice, know that they’re not just looking at the lovey-dovey side of it, but the practical financial benefit that you can gain from it as well.
Scorpios are known for their intuition.
ne thing my mom and dad (he’s a Libra, but Scorpio moon), have always successfully picked up on was when something is wrong with me. Even if it is just over the phone or from how I text them, since we live thousands of miles apart, when something is wrong, they always know when something is up. Water signs in general have a heightened intuition with those around them, so its not a surprise that they can pick up on energetic shifts with those in their circle more than others
Determined and Persistent
When a Scorpio sets her mind to something, she will see it through to the end. That goes for their kid’s dreams and aspirations. They will be your biggest supporter, even when everyone else doubts you. This determination can be inspiring and push you to achieve your own goals.
Mysterious and Private
Scorpios often have a mysterious aura, and value privacy over almost anything. The one thing I’ve learned from having a Scorpio parent is that its best to keep a lot of things to yourself. Your mom might be private about her own life and emotions, preferring to keep certain things to herself, and maybe over the years you’ll learn just how much she had to keep in to herself. Don’t forget this is a water sign we are talking about. You know the saying “calm waters run deep”? A Scorpio probably came up with that quote. They feel so deeply, but may not always show it. And this privacy also extends to her family. Likely as a form of protection. She prefers to keep family matters at home, because honestly, is it really anyone else's business anyways? You may just have to learn to deal with her privacy or not wanting to discuss certain family matters until either your older, or never at all.
Emotionally Intense
Emotions run deep with Scorpios. Your mom might experience and express emotions intensely, whether it's joy, anger, or sadness. This can create a rich emotional environment at home, though it might sometimes feel overwhelming.
She Can Be a Bit…Direct or Harsh
A Scorpio mom is likely to be very honest, sometimes brutally so. She values truth and might not sugarcoat her opinions or advice. You’re just going to have to learn how to either take this, or ask her in a nice way to tone down the delivery sometimes!
Overall, having a Scorpio mom means being surrounded by deep love, strong protection, and powerful life lessons. It can be an intense and deeply fulfilling relationship, filled with emotional depth and unwavering support. It may not be the easiest relationship to deal with
