Fallen Scorpio Moon + Bjork

Bjork is a stunning example of all things Scorpio. If you are unaware, she is a well-known musician in Iceland who is known for her 'out there' surreal performances. I became a huge fan back in the 90's, when I saw her first music video on MTV. Recently, I was studying her natal chart and admiring all the Scorpio magic she brings to the world. She has the Sun, Moon, ascendant, and Neptune in Scorpio and in the house of self. In other words, her identity, her emotions and effortless imagination are on full display to the world. She has a unique and otherworldly Scorpio style that is 100% her own making.

The sign of Scorpio is ruled by Mars traditionally, and this gives her a noticeable intensity. Her moon is rising above the ascendant, which means her deep and fraught emotions are fully exposed to the world. She wears her deeply tender heart on her sleeve, and it is thus inextricably part of her persona. So if we are looking for a good example of Scorpio moon energy in a human, Bjork is a great example!

In ancient astrology, the moon is considered 'fallen' in the sign of Scorpio. The term 'fallen' here means the moon often gets lost in its feelings and has trouble letting go of distraught emotions and attachments. A Scorpio moon burned does not easily forget, and it takes dedicated work to heal a broken heart. There is a capacity to feel the lowest lows and the highest highs with a Scorpio moon.

Bjork's deep sensitivities undoubtedly inspire her work, and she uses her creative expression to navigate and heal the domain of her heart. Instead of burying the feelings deep inside, she unveils them through her music. She confronts her shadows through her creative expression. One song that beautifully depicts this, is the song "Jรณga" from the Homogenic album. You can listen on YouTube here. The lyrics from this song seem to capture the essence of the Scorpio moon so perfectly:


"I feel... Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this
State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be
All that no-one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me
You don't have to speak
I feel"


Thus, on this Scorpio new moon, you can find a little inspiration from Bjork. She productively channels her intense emotions into her work, and we can do the same.
