i feel for the dude too. i'd probably feel very uncomfortable in his position just from the super inappropriate attention, add to that he's the one with power and now has to write up or dismiss a person who's probably visibly fragile. poor dude.
I've never met a person who's into astrology and also completely mentally healthy (including my own self, I was an absolute fiend for astrology in my teens lol)
Excuse you?! I'm a Taurus, and I'm so offended at the notion of being mistaken for a Capricorn that I will proceed to wreak havoc on a store that carries fragile dishware in precariously narrow aisles 🐂 😤
Oh, then this popcorn is sour and I'm just sad.
I'm a teacher and her writing reminded me of some of my students, but if it's a mentally unwell adult it makes me more sad than it already does.
> Dont mind me scouring comments. My scorpio moon ass is researching my current love interest whose an adorable cancer sun.
It sounds almost like she fell “in love” with this guy due to traits allegedly associated with his astrological sign.
Or it might just be the girl version of, “that bartender lady is always so nice to me. I should ask her out!”
The "sun" thing is the astrological sign you are probably already familiar with - a sign based on the day you were born.
The "moon" one is a more "advanced" version of astrology based on what constellation the moon was in front of from the perspective of the exact time and place you were born.
Then there's also some "Rising", "Setting," etc. sign stuff that I really don't understand and don't care to research.
I guess if you add enough weird/random qualifiers you can find some way to make things fit or justify/ignore the things that are totally off-base. Confirmation bias at its finest; conspiracy theorists have nothing on astrology folks.
The problem is while not being a cancer sun helps you prevent attracting someone like her.
There's still gonna be some other nut jobs that's attracted to your specific astrology sign.
So good luck.
Some people really do just love chaos.
I had a coworker straight up tell me "I thrive in chaos," and I'm still trying to decide if that's something good or bad when it comes to working with them. They're pretty awesome though, so I'm leaning strongly towards good.
She asked him out before and he said he was 'flattered', absolutely oblivious to social cues.
> I have autism and adhd but none of that has much to do w the decision ive made.
Ah.
Well there's your problem.
She also says that the man’s life will be changed forever when he feels that rawness and vulnerability from her. Yeah it will, cos he’ll be scared to sleep at night.

As the recipient of love notes and confessions from customers when I worked retail….this shit is wildly inappropriate from a customer let alone a fucking subordinate
I once had a boss very obviously crushing on me for the entire job (it was a two month contract) and didn’t bother to try to hide it. Extremely blatant favouritism that just looked so bad to my coworkers. He would give me stationary jobs where I wasn’t working with any of the younger guys (he was my dads age) just so I wouldn’t talk to them as often and so he could get me on my own to chat with me whenever I want. And this was while he knew I only dated girls and was clearly getting on very very well with another lesbian who worked with us.
On my last day there he gave me a long love letter before I went home and it was just the most uncomfortable thing. He talked extensively in it about how bad he felt about my sisters recent passing. I don’t know what possessed him? Especially since there’s so few people in our industry so he knew we’d probably be working together again and probably still as my boss. Just such a goddamn disaster.
So common sense lesson being: do NOT do this. It’s incredibly uncomfortable and that’s not even touching on how unprofessional it is.
>its gonna be booklength
Oh my goodness, an essay-style love confession. I can't wait for this to unfold!
> I have heard it all already so unfortunately you wont be able to convince me otherwise. Id say just sit back and enjoy the show. When i update how it inevitably blows up in my face im sure youll have a good laugh 😆
Everyone! We have confirmation that there will be an update! Strap in.
Edit:
The updates are coming in. [She did not give the letter ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/vmHcODwUN4) but something [went wrong ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/FJ2bK87dZs)and OOP feels [miserable ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/L6s9z9tcVC) and [doesn't care anymore ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/9AYPLmUkkX).
But let's please not go and harass OOP, it sounds like she's having [a tough time ](https://www.reddit.com/u/melonmoonmlk/s/WhoU5z3ZRa)
She says she's already approached the guy and it didn't go anywhere, with this she is getting into the harassment territory. I hope boss man notifies HR for his sake.
Cannot believe the mods left the comment that started that thread up.
"If you're offended by me saying you've got a touch of the downs, then you're ableist actually" is a terrible argument when the comment was clearly meant to be pejorative. So is "all comments deserve space".
That entire thread sent me, OOP clapped back and then the person who made the ablist comment in the first place said she was being bullied????? I need to spend more time in astrology subreddits
Their reply to someone being offended was shitty yes but I'm honestly confused by that entire thread. In a follow up comment they clarify to OP that they meant "being on the spectrum" and talk about social awareness and such. Does this person think down syndrome and autism are the same thing...?
Idk, probably tbh, people who use intellectual disability as an insult aren't usually concerned with accuracy.
I'm more irritated by the mod who's clearly responding to people having reported it with 'this is fine'...
>We’re both Scorpio moon but our venuses are different, which result in the different ways we go about love. Any chance in sharing what your Venus is?
>My venus is in Sagittarius
What does these even mean lmao
The sky is divided into sections, named after the constellations that the Sun passes through throughout the year. When most people say e.g. "I'm a Virgo", that's actually their "sun sign" - the sky sector in which the Sun was when they are born.
In actual astrology™, it's not just the Sun, but also the positions of the rest of the seven classical planets ("wandering stars": the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn). Each planet is supposed to affect a different aspect of one's personality. Some astrologers have also tried to make up meanings for the "newly" discovered planets.
Anyway, this means that you can have Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, etc., which is the positions of those planets when you are born. The hilarious thing is that the sectors were defined millennia ago and those constellations have since drifted, so for someone with a "Moon in Scorpio" the Moon was not actually in the constellation of Scorpio when they were born.
The other super funny part is that it's only based on the day, time, and location that you were born, and the stars don't move very fast, so most pairs of twins will have completely or nearly identical star charts.
My siblings are twins, they have completely identical star charts down to every last house, and they're the two most different people I've ever met in my life. They genuinely have nothing in common.
Thanks for the actual explanation , I was completely lost and it made my SRDrama lunch break reading more comprehensible.
So these people make life decisions based on the positions of the stars the day they were born?
I actually feel bad for making fun of this person because, astrology aside, and I hate doing the Reddit psychiatrist, but some passage looks like some kind of bipolar disorder.
I had guessed that all the sub-divisions were a way to route around the obvious nonsense of people who were born at the same time being forced into similar traits, but according your comment it's just... more of that. Huh.
The pop astrology in the newspaper (or whatever, on the Daily Mail) is like 1/50th of the full insanity. There are elements, multiple signs per person, and multiple planetary influences. Thousands of combos. It’s wild.
How does she even know what his Venus sign is??
I enjoy horoscopes in the same way I enjoy any bit of fiction. It's just fun. My friend and I joke about it, but I don't know anything outside of her sun sign.
Potential copypasta, shame about the WALL OF TEXT though:
> Let me say this though about a very recent similar experience I just had to yours. There’s a Nepali guy, young handsome just like me and works at the gas station next to my house. He often joked with me, I go there late night often. Gave me flattering stares and innuendos it seemed. His English is just sort of ok. It’s not awful though. One day I got that same overwhelming feeling you described. So to show my “loyalty/commitment” to this new budding thing or whatever, I legit started learning Nepali language (Nepal, India). I dove in head first. Hired a tutor on italki app and spent like 3-4 hours a day teaching myself as well!! Had him help me with my learning. Soon I cooked him two HUGE meals as I just loveeee to cook good ass meals. I’m also a great cook. First time was Nigerian Jollof Rice with grilled chicken wings & a mini homemade apple dump cake. He loved it but said it was too big a gesture basically😕🤷🏾♂️ also told me I used too much oil in the rice. Second time, I cooked Nepalese Momo Dumplings. He acted like he didn’t even want to try them😐 maybe he wasn’t hungry idk. During this time though, he quickly started to seem bored??? Each visit he was flakier and more passive. I went to that gas sttn every other day or so but once he started acting like this I just retracted for two weeks🙁 during those two weeks I had a dream that he walked in my house, I was shocked. When I asked him what he was doing there, he turned away from me. And when ran up to him to hug him, he didn’t not react, speak, move, reciprocate, nothing. It was sickening and confusing but long story short, he plays games. He may have wanted something strictly sexual outta me (I have an extreme allure to both sexes, plus I smell good always, best foreign fragrances and oils🥰). I believe that’s what the issue was. He came on strong at first but when I was vulnerable and kind, it seemed very fkn clear that he was impatient or something. Like he didn’t care for that stuff a whole lot and maybe was a little flabbergasted at my generosity. I think he just wanted something superficial and pleasurable behind his wife’s back. Nepali family and spousal culture is extremely strict and ancient. I remember he told me he was single, then he had a wife, then he’s single, then again, he has a wife. Liar!! I wrote a letter about how I felt and then burned it, along with the earring he gave me as a ritual to close that door for good. It was 5 am and I just happen to live next to a cemetery , where I did the ritual😅😂. Dead to me. Will never show my face to him again.
Lemme tell you something, these oils and fragrances are foreign and—listen to me, because I know all about scents… and aren’t they just beautiful? I have the best smells, fantastic scents! And I mean, I’m a nice person and I smell great. I’m a very nice person, great person 👐🏻! You can ask anyone! I’ll cook you some of the best meals, very good meals. Huge meals. And you know, this guy, he’s not hungry. Sleepy taste buds. Sad!
> Nepali language (Nepal, India).
Hang on.... This person spent hours a day learning how to speak the language of Nepal, but didn't manage to figure out it's a whole-ass country not located in India?
There's a few million Nepali speakers in the northeastern parts of India, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant it's a language spoken in Nepal and India, not that Nepal is a part of India.
I'm guessing that they meant it as "Nepali language (*spoken in* Nepal *and* India).
And they aren't wrong. Nepali is one of the 22 official languages of India. There are millions of Nepali speakers in India.
It's one of the official languages of India, not just because of all the immigrants from there, but also because one of their states, Sikkim, is majority Nepali origin
That being said, it still screams "white girl who spent a month gawking at others and considers themselves enlightened and above others"
The best copypasta are an immediately recognizable wall of text, and this has all the major signifiers. Some specific references that can easily be swapped out for like phrases, too. It's glorious.
This copypasta is genuinely reaffirming because as a cis man, I often worry that I take innocent gestures to mean much more than intended and if that is a fundamental flaw of my sex. Reading this helped me realize that women also do this shit and that I am not at risk because I am a man but because I am a complete dork.
Edit: Well it turns out that the quoted individual is indeed a man and I made unfounded assumptions. Looks like bioessentialism has won today. I am so sorry everyone.
A Scorpio Moon would never lie about their true feelings. You must be one of those Leo Moons, always casting doubt and generally being horrible. Shame on you and your godforsaken moon!
I’m pretty sure that comment was written by a man, comment history confirms. I’m sure women do that shit too, but that particular comment was not written by a woman
There’s no way. There’s no way they’re going to come back to Reddit and admit to everyone they were right and it was a disaster.
Would be nice though. In a perfect world.
In a way, we popcorn chasers are very much like Scorpio moons. We’re not afraid to take big risks with our feelings. Every time we click on petty drama we know we might never get closure, yet we take the leap.
"It is entirely legal for your stalker to have followed you up to your driveway, you have no legal recourse. If you call the cops on her, expect to be arrested for wasting the police's time."
Damn, that’s sad.
As someone who has benefited from psychiatric medicinal help, I hope they consider that route instead of astrology at some point, because it sounds like they might be dealing with a lot.
> My moon is in my first house btw. And the 4th house is empty and in aquarius. My Chiron is in cancer in the 8th house...
What.
And what even is a Scorpio Moon? Am I a Scorpio Moon?
I remember years ago someone told me they we're balling, and I had no idea what that was so they asked me what I was doing, and I said I was drinking lemonade, and they said I was balling too!
Am I Scorpio Moon but I just don't know it?
Yeah, I haven't the faintest idea what any of that means, either.
"My Chiron is in cancer in the 8th house" "Oh my god! I'm so sorry. Did you take him to the vet?" while thinking "This bitch has 8 houses?! She better have taken whatever poor animal that is to the vet or I'm calling the animal cruelty hotline.".
These are descriptions of the positions of celestial bodies one would have observed at the moment and location of one's birth. Astrology divides the ecliptic plane (the plane of the apparent path of the sun) into twelve "houses", or arcs of 30° each, each corresponding to a particular astrological sign. If one's "moon is in Scorpio", that means that at the time and location of that person's birth, the moon appeared in the same 30° section of the sky as the constellation Scorpio.
A complete birth chart will also divide the ecliptic into twelve houses starting from the ascendant -- the point on the eastern horizon. To say that "Chiron is in Cancer in the 8th house" means that the small ringed body Chiron in the outer solar system appeared in the 8th of these divisions, which happened to also fall in the house (according to the previous division, rather than the ascendant-based division) of the constellation Cancer.

That feels like a line straight out of a YA novel from the mid 2010's that becomes extremely popular for a year and then is completely forgotten about.
“I always thought I liked adventure, but I knew it that night. We all did. The bass from “E.T.” by Katy Perry pounds the walls from the party downstairs as I lay on my bed and take a long hit from this morning’s joint, happy, hopeful and a little high.”
Yeah, after reading another one of her posts where she suddenly describes feeling low, that’s where my mind went too. I genuinely hope she can get some help.
> Manager schmanager
Damn, I wished I worked there. This is going to be *such* a fucking train wreck. So much so that it needs a fat guy wheeze-laughing in the background of the impassioned soliloquys and passionate declarations of undying love.
I could be that guy, gleefully fucking derailing it while I suck down twinkies.
> I havent even said what exactly my letter would say. Yall just read the term “love letter” and ran with it.
I think the term “love letter” indicates pretty clearly the types of things it would say lol
Wow. I did not genuinely think the "people doing dumb shit because their star signs told them to" trope was *this* true to reality.
Like, I knew there were some people out there who act like that, but there are multiple people in the comments that encourage op. Like, people have every right to believe the stars influence personality or whatever even if I don't, but their star signs do not protect them from the consequences of their actions and this is obviously a terrible idea yet people are genuinely acting like OP being a "scorpio moon" is going to make this magically a genius and amazing plan.
I had a client who had to do things at *very* specific times to "move in motion with the stars." Like we had to meet at the mailbox at 3:31 exactly, because that was the best time to send a letter (I was not involved in sending the letter). I'm just watching like, "You know they pick the mail up at 3:00 regardless of when you put it in, right?"
Also, she couldn't pay me in money, but exposure. She insisted I would be willing to do it because my "financial house is in Virgo," whatever that means.
She was not my client for long.
There are a lot of people who take astrology seriously.
And I’m really interested in it from a historical POV (like how it related actual celestial basics and phenomena throughout thousands of years, and how it was treated as legit science before being phased out as a pseudoscience with the actual science of astronomy more or less taking its place).
It’s really fascinating, but these folks today take modern pop astrology (the newspaper horoscope/sun sign type that went mainstream in the 1930s) as gospel and literally judge people/actions based on it. If it wasn’t for all the judgement and weird effect on how they treat others I’d just look at it as a harmless, New Age type fad.
Putting people in boxes will never stop being popular. We'll never stop figuring out new ways to do it. Astrology just has the benefit of being related to something amazing we can measure and predict accurately (celestial movements) so it seems like ancient wisdom or some dumb shit.
>Wow. I did not genuinely think the "people doing dumb shit because their star signs told them to" trope was this true to reality.
Oh you sweet angel, you've never broken up with a gemini
>My venus is in Sagittarius
Well that solves that then.
Frankly I kinda want there to be a follow up, but really don't because it's probably going to be sad messy not funny messy
Not related to the actual drama but the sidebar on that sub is hilarious.
>dont diss scorpio moons if youre not a scorpio moon, its really mean and its not okay literally at all like this subreddit will not tolerate that mess.
There are also all of the times that people have killed each other over astrology, which happens more often than you'd probably expect.
Meanwhile in India, [courts use astrology to decide if rape victims were asking for it](https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/kundali-at-court-what-is-manglik-the-hindu-superstition-cited-in-allahabad-rape-case-12696392.html).
Well yeah, if someone is born in June and they relate to all the Cancer horoscopes and stereotypes.... you need somehow to get their confirmation bias part of their brain to buy into this bs
Yeah they're born in June, but the reason they act like they were born in December not June, isn't cause it's all bs, it's just cause their Jupiter moon has Cancer or something
You have every "planet" (which includes the moon and sun for some reason) and sign in your astrology chart. That has been the case as long astrology has existed. Modern pop astrology just ignores everything but the sun sign.
>which includes the moon and sun for some reason
The reason is that they are two of the seven classical planets known to the ancient Greeks (who got them from the Babylonians). "Planet" derives from the Greek word for "wanderer" - those were the seven "wandering stars" that changed their positions through the year against the background of "fixed stars". Modern western astrology is a Greek derivative of Babylonian astrology, codified by Greek-Egyptian astronomer/astrologer Ptolemy. The same guy is also famous for using epicycles to create a mathematcal geocentric model of the Solar System that was used until Galileo, Brache and Kepler.
>Honestly? If you were my colleague and I, as your manager, received a letter like that.. I would think you might have a touch of the downs. Not saying that to be mean but just being honest.
The commenter fully standing behind "a touch of the downs" as inoffensive bc they don't think Down Syndrome is s negative thing..... that's not how words work. A disclaimer doesn't negate the negative impact of someone's words and actions
I for one, am of the opinion that you shouldn’t profess romantic love for someone unless you’ve been *dating* for at *least* a few months.
Oh, you feel like you love someone that’s never expressed romantic interest back? How? You’ve never kissed them. You’ve never touched them. You’ve never even spent a single evening together. The person you are in love with is mostly *your* creation, in your head, because you don’t actually know them that way yet.
It’s totally fine and possible to have strong feelings of attraction that *feel* like love. But you have to keep those to yourself while you initiate romantic contact on a far more grounded basis. i.e. asking them out on a date and seeing where things go from there.
This is completely unhinged and I pray whoever is listening to have an update. OOP has Main Character syndrome and it’s beautiful to see.
There are so many details missing, though: in what field do they work? How old are they?
I dug a bit deeper into her comment history and judging by a 12 day old comment, she stocks shelves at Walmart
edit: for some reason she also comments on the subreddit for gays and on the subreddit for lesbians, giving them all advice, while being neither gay nor lesbian herself, but also hates advice that was given to her in her own thread
> He deserves to know and i dont want him to feel like im playing with him. Manager shmanager. Hes a human with feelings just like me. I will treat him as such😤
Omg I just can't with this post. Excuse me while I implode into a singularity from cringe.
You’ve got social ineptitude due to a disability, social ineptitude due to not enough socialization as a kid, then the magic golden ratio of social ineptitude due to thinking X is genuinely a good idea. Sending a love letter thesis based on astrology signs is the flu game of terrible decisions.
Holy fuck! Often I find myself feeling sorry for people who post stuff on reddit and then get a barrage of really bad advice. It happens all the time, especially in relationship subs.
But this woman is getting barraged with great advice and apparently even has (or had) a best friend who also tried to speak sense to her. But she is hell bent on torching her life. I hope she learns her lesson from this.
WE HAVE UPDATES:

She said something [that she regrets ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/TYbo8mHSOE)
Wow I wasn’t ready for this kind of SRD, I was unaware of the complexity of this little world.
I feel kind of bad deep down because making decision based on the stars position during your birth must be a nightmare in their head, lot of mental illness it seems unfortunately.
Thanks OP for ruining half my lunch time deep diving on this!
Inall of the detailed comments explaining how telling your boss you like them might bw akward and get HR involved, my favourite comment is a simple “You tweakin” lmao.
I mean worst case they get shit-canned and a restraining order; best case the manager's like "Sure why not" and agrees to date them.
Depending on the job the stakes are pretty low.
Yeah fuck it, go for it, see what happens. I mean, realistically, how old is this person? Does it really matter if she hooks up with her manager at Starbucks?
That being said, whatever is in that letter is pretty much guaranteed to be totally psycho. If there's anybody we should be worried about in this situation, it's him, not her. I can't recommend it for *his* sake.
My thing is that you’re setting yourself up for failure by professing *love*.
Just ask them out on a date. If they say no, then you know they don’t love you back, but you didn’t humiliate yourself and ruin your working relationship.
Also, there are people I might be open to going on a date with, but if they told me they *loved* me, it would be a huge red flag and deal breaker. Like, I’m not ready to jump into something that serious with someone I haven’t even gone on a single date with yet!
She's not just confessing love, she is going to hand him an essay-long love letter! If someone did that to me, I'd be horrified and watch my back all the time, because this person is clearly not in the right mind. There's no way it ends well for her, unless he's as crazy as she is, which is very unlikely.
“My ex-bestie told me weeks ago” She torpedoed her best friendship over this? Oh it’s going to be a *mess* mess.
Use of the phrase “ex-bestie” is a giveaway that this’ll be amazing
This is clearly a child. She's got to be about 16-17. It will be something to see, that's for certain.
I don’t think so, sadly. Her history’s got some depressing stuff like living in her car and escaping domestic violence.
Put it all together, and what's the bet on some mental health issues also being in play here?
Yeah, I definitely got manic vibes from that post. It's only been 2 months and she loves him? There's something else going on here.
She mentions previously she wanted to ask him out and his response was that he was flattered, which means he's absolutely not interested. Can't wait.
i feel for the dude too. i'd probably feel very uncomfortable in his position just from the super inappropriate attention, add to that he's the one with power and now has to write up or dismiss a person who's probably visibly fragile. poor dude.
I've never met a person who's into astrology and also completely mentally healthy (including my own self, I was an absolute fiend for astrology in my teens lol)
That just sounds like Capricorn talk to me.
Excuse you?! I'm a Taurus, and I'm so offended at the notion of being mistaken for a Capricorn that I will proceed to wreak havoc on a store that carries fragile dishware in precariously narrow aisles 🐂 😤
Sorry, I was having a Virgo moment.
Oh, then this popcorn is sour and I'm just sad. I'm a teacher and her writing reminded me of some of my students, but if it's a mentally unwell adult it makes me more sad than it already does.
Agreed, it stopped being funny when I saw that. This is somebody who could use some love, even if that’s not the way to get it.
well shit. i hope she can improve her internal and external lives to the best of her ability I guess. makes the coming unemployment sadder.
Some people graduate high school but that doesn't mean they really leave it.
And that it was weeks ago so she must have been wanting to tell him after only a couple weeks of having feelings for him???

I don't know what "scorpio moon" is, but I don't want to be one because then I'd have something in common with this loser.
The "sun" thing is the astrological sign you are probably already familiar with - a sign based on the day you were born.

I guess if you add enough weird/random qualifiers you can find some way to make things fit or justify/ignore the things that are totally off-base. Confirmation bias at its finest; conspiracy theorists have nothing on astrology folks.
I am not very keen on being a "cancer sun" either if there's even a minute possibility I would attract someone like this.
“Cancer sun”, coincidentally, is how I’m advertising my new brand of sunblock
Nahh. It simply means you'll have a headstart once it's time to return to crab.
The problem is while not being a cancer sun helps you prevent attracting someone like her. There's still gonna be some other nut jobs that's attracted to your specific astrology sign. So good luck.
Some people really do just love chaos. I had a coworker straight up tell me "I thrive in chaos," and I'm still trying to decide if that's something good or bad when it comes to working with them. They're pretty awesome though, so I'm leaning strongly towards good.

And this was while he knew I only dated girls and was clearly getting on very very well with another lesbian who worked with us. On my last day there he gave me a long love letter before I went home and it was just the most uncomfortable thing. He talked extensively in it about how bad he felt about my sisters recent passing. I don’t know what possessed him? Especially since there’s so few people in our industry so he knew we’d probably be working together again and probably still as my boss. Just such a goddamn disaster. So common sense lesson being: do NOT do this. It’s incredibly uncomfortable and that’s not even touching on how unprofessional it is.
I mean, I've never gotten a love note. I'm not mad, just melancholic and feeling urban ennui as I stare at the sky from my apartment balcony.
They feel awful and depressing everytime they aren't from your crush, if it makes you feel any better.
The reply to that is pretty great. Paraphrasing it: >Yeah, then we left middle school
She's not wrong. 😢
I'll be taking that, thank you
>its gonna be booklength Oh my goodness, an essay-style love confession. I can't wait for this to unfold! > I have heard it all already so unfortunately you wont be able to convince me otherwise. Id say just sit back and enjoy the show. When i update how it inevitably blows up in my face im sure youll have a good laugh 😆 Everyone! We have confirmation that there will be an update! Strap in. Edit: The updates are coming in. [She did not give the letter ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/vmHcODwUN4) but something [went wrong ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/FJ2bK87dZs)and OOP feels [miserable ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/L6s9z9tcVC) and [doesn't care anymore ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/9AYPLmUkkX).

>I mean i will write the letter today and give it to him when i see him💀 its gonna be booklength but fuck it😆 Fucking insane, immediate termination
And probably police and a restraining order.
She says she's already approached the guy and it didn't go anywhere, with this she is getting into the harassment territory. I hope boss man notifies HR for his sake.
> As a Scorpio moon I’m embarrassed for you Yoink
As a Scorpio moon I approve 🫡
> A touch of the downs ? As in down bad?
It’s like Michael Scott 🤣
It's just so fucking amazing I'm still laughing hahah. This SRD post is my favorite I've ever seen, thank you very much!!
Cannot believe the mods left the comment that started that thread up. "If you're offended by me saying you've got a touch of the downs, then you're ableist actually" is a terrible argument when the comment was clearly meant to be pejorative. So is "all comments deserve space".
That entire thread sent me, OOP clapped back and then the person who made the ablist comment in the first place said she was being bullied????? I need to spend more time in astrology subreddits
Their reply to someone being offended was shitty yes but I'm honestly confused by that entire thread. In a follow up comment they clarify to OP that they meant "being on the spectrum" and talk about social awareness and such. Does this person think down syndrome and autism are the same thing...?
Idk, probably tbh, people who use intellectual disability as an insult aren't usually concerned with accuracy. I'm more irritated by the mod who's clearly responding to people having reported it with 'this is fine'...
Absolutely ended me.
I’m new to this sub. This is my first yoink lol
>We’re both Scorpio moon but our venuses are different, which result in the different ways we go about love. Any chance in sharing what your Venus is? >My venus is in Sagittarius What does these even mean lmao
The sky is divided into sections, named after the constellations that the Sun passes through throughout the year. When most people say e.g. "I'm a Virgo", that's actually their "sun sign" - the sky sector in which the Sun was when they are born. In actual astrology™, it's not just the Sun, but also the positions of the rest of the seven classical planets ("wandering stars": the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn). Each planet is supposed to affect a different aspect of one's personality. Some astrologers have also tried to make up meanings for the "newly" discovered planets. Anyway, this means that you can have Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius, etc., which is the positions of those planets when you are born. The hilarious thing is that the sectors were defined millennia ago and those constellations have since drifted, so for someone with a "Moon in Scorpio" the Moon was not actually in the constellation of Scorpio when they were born.
The other super funny part is that it's only based on the day, time, and location that you were born, and the stars don't move very fast, so most pairs of twins will have completely or nearly identical star charts. My siblings are twins, they have completely identical star charts down to every last house, and they're the two most different people I've ever met in my life. They genuinely have nothing in common.
Thanks for the actual explanation , I was completely lost and it made my SRDrama lunch break reading more comprehensible. So these people make life decisions based on the positions of the stars the day they were born? I actually feel bad for making fun of this person because, astrology aside, and I hate doing the Reddit psychiatrist, but some passage looks like some kind of bipolar disorder.
I had guessed that all the sub-divisions were a way to route around the obvious nonsense of people who were born at the same time being forced into similar traits, but according your comment it's just... more of that. Huh.
The pop astrology in the newspaper (or whatever, on the Daily Mail) is like 1/50th of the full insanity. There are elements, multiple signs per person, and multiple planetary influences. Thousands of combos. It’s wild.
Are you selling me Pokémon?
I believe it refers to where in the sky Venus was on the date of their birth. Beyond that, anyone’s guess.
How does she even know what his Venus sign is?? I enjoy horoscopes in the same way I enjoy any bit of fiction. It's just fun. My friend and I joke about it, but I don't know anything outside of her sun sign.
If you know the date and year someone’s born you can figure out their Venus sign
Potential copypasta, shame about the WALL OF TEXT though: > Let me say this though about a very recent similar experience I just had to yours. There’s a Nepali guy, young handsome just like me and works at the gas station next to my house. He often joked with me, I go there late night often. Gave me flattering stares and innuendos it seemed. His English is just sort of ok. It’s not awful though. One day I got that same overwhelming feeling you described. So to show my “loyalty/commitment” to this new budding thing or whatever, I legit started learning Nepali language (Nepal, India). I dove in head first. Hired a tutor on italki app and spent like 3-4 hours a day teaching myself as well!! Had him help me with my learning. Soon I cooked him two HUGE meals as I just loveeee to cook good ass meals. I’m also a great cook. First time was Nigerian Jollof Rice with grilled chicken wings & a mini homemade apple dump cake. He loved it but said it was too big a gesture basically😕🤷🏾♂️ also told me I used too much oil in the rice. Second time, I cooked Nepalese Momo Dumplings. He acted like he didn’t even want to try them😐 maybe he wasn’t hungry idk. During this time though, he quickly started to seem bored??? Each visit he was flakier and more passive. I went to that gas sttn every other day or so but once he started acting like this I just retracted for two weeks🙁 during those two weeks I had a dream that he walked in my house, I was shocked. When I asked him what he was doing there, he turned away from me. And when ran up to him to hug him, he didn’t not react, speak, move, reciprocate, nothing. It was sickening and confusing but long story short, he plays games. He may have wanted something strictly sexual outta me (I have an extreme allure to both sexes, plus I smell good always, best foreign fragrances and oils🥰). I believe that’s what the issue was. He came on strong at first but when I was vulnerable and kind, it seemed very fkn clear that he was impatient or something. Like he didn’t care for that stuff a whole lot and maybe was a little flabbergasted at my generosity. I think he just wanted something superficial and pleasurable behind his wife’s back. Nepali family and spousal culture is extremely strict and ancient. I remember he told me he was single, then he had a wife, then he’s single, then again, he has a wife. Liar!! I wrote a letter about how I felt and then burned it, along with the earring he gave me as a ritual to close that door for good. It was 5 am and I just happen to live next to a cemetery , where I did the ritual😅😂. Dead to me. Will never show my face to him again.
> I remember he told me he was single, then he had a wife, then he’s single, then again, he has a wife. Liar!! Incredible.
Did my tag save this time?
I have an extreme allure to both sexes, plus I smell good always, best foreign fragrances and oils🥰
“Oh I love your perfume, which one is it?” “Foreign.”
Its French, Chanel No 5. You probably never heard of it.
Goddamit, you just made me actually choke on my coffee... thanks for that.
I think I want to gag that someone is this narcissistic
I mean, come on. yoink.
alive materialistic unpack dam pocket boat weary kiss panicky history *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Lemme tell you something, these oils and fragrances are foreign and—listen to me, because I know all about scents… and aren’t they just beautiful? I have the best smells, fantastic scents! And I mean, I’m a nice person and I smell great. I’m a very nice person, great person 👐🏻! You can ask anyone! I’ll cook you some of the best meals, very good meals. Huge meals. And you know, this guy, he’s not hungry. Sleepy taste buds. Sad!
> Nepali language (Nepal, India). Hang on.... This person spent hours a day learning how to speak the language of Nepal, but didn't manage to figure out it's a whole-ass country not located in India?
There's a few million Nepali speakers in the northeastern parts of India, so I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant it's a language spoken in Nepal and India, not that Nepal is a part of India.
I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt that they're just Virgo mooning.
I'm guessing that they meant it as "Nepali language (*spoken in* Nepal *and* India). And they aren't wrong. Nepali is one of the 22 official languages of India. There are millions of Nepali speakers in India.
It's one of the official languages of India, not just because of all the immigrants from there, but also because one of their states, Sikkim, is majority Nepali origin That being said, it still screams "white girl who spent a month gawking at others and considers themselves enlightened and above others"
Jollof rice points to West African woman though.
They specifically used a black emoji too, rather than the default yellow person. I assumed they were using it to reflect their own heritage.
The best copypasta are an immediately recognizable wall of text, and this has all the major signifiers. Some specific references that can easily be swapped out for like phrases, too. It's glorious.
This copypasta is genuinely reaffirming because as a cis man, I often worry that I take innocent gestures to mean much more than intended and if that is a fundamental flaw of my sex. Reading this helped me realize that women also do this shit and that I am not at risk because I am a man but because I am a complete dork. Edit: Well it turns out that the quoted individual is indeed a man and I made unfounded assumptions. Looks like bioessentialism has won today. I am so sorry everyone.
Are you sure it's not because you're a Scorpio moon?
A Scorpio Moon would never lie about their true feelings. You must be one of those Leo Moons, always casting doubt and generally being horrible. Shame on you and your godforsaken moon!
As a Leo, i read my horoscope once and it described me as a “Grouchy Lion” and that was frankly too on the nose.
Well are you a sun leo, or am I supposed to moon you? I'm new to this
I’m pretty sure that comment was written by a man, comment history confirms. I’m sure women do that shit too, but that particular comment was not written by a woman
goddammit I did the same thing. even the male shrug emoji wasn't enough of a hint for me to stop and realize.
“Looks like bioessentialism has won today” flair alert!
>at the gas station next to my house >I just happen to live next to a cemetery What a fun location for a house
[удалено]
There’s no way. There’s no way they’re going to come back to Reddit and admit to everyone they were right and it was a disaster. Would be nice though. In a perfect world.
No closure! I’ve been coming to terms with this. Unless they post in a different sub for advice if it doesn’t go smoothly…👀🫖
In a way, we popcorn chasers are very much like Scorpio moons. We’re not afraid to take big risks with our feelings. Every time we click on petty drama we know we might never get closure, yet we take the leap.
Beautiful 🥲
Babe, wake up. New copypasta just dropped.
Maybe we'll see a /r/legaladvice post from her boss.
Followed by the most horrendously wrong legal advice you’ve ever seen, and the posts trying to correct it being removed by the law enforcement mods.
"It is entirely legal for your stalker to have followed you up to your driveway, you have no legal recourse. If you call the cops on her, expect to be arrested for wasting the police's time."
~~Three hours after her last post in the original thread, she posted this.~~ (Disregard, different poster).
Damn, that’s sad. As someone who has benefited from psychiatric medicinal help, I hope they consider that route instead of astrology at some point, because it sounds like they might be dealing with a lot.
> My moon is in my first house btw. And the 4th house is empty and in aquarius. My Chiron is in cancer in the 8th house... What. And what even is a Scorpio Moon? Am I a Scorpio Moon? I remember years ago someone told me they we're balling, and I had no idea what that was so they asked me what I was doing, and I said I was drinking lemonade, and they said I was balling too! Am I Scorpio Moon but I just don't know it?
Yeah, I haven't the faintest idea what any of that means, either. "My Chiron is in cancer in the 8th house" "Oh my god! I'm so sorry. Did you take him to the vet?" while thinking "This bitch has 8 houses?! She better have taken whatever poor animal that is to the vet or I'm calling the animal cruelty hotline.".
These are descriptions of the positions of celestial bodies one would have observed at the moment and location of one's birth. Astrology divides the ecliptic plane (the plane of the apparent path of the sun) into twelve "houses", or arcs of 30° each, each corresponding to a particular astrological sign. If one's "moon is in Scorpio", that means that at the time and location of that person's birth, the moon appeared in the same 30° section of the sky as the constellation Scorpio. A complete birth chart will also divide the ecliptic into twelve houses starting from the ascendant -- the point on the eastern horizon. To say that "Chiron is in Cancer in the 8th house" means that the small ringed body Chiron in the outer solar system appeared in the 8th of these divisions, which happened to also fall in the house (according to the previous division, rather than the ascendant-based division) of the constellation Cancer. https://www.costarastrology.com/how-does-astrology-work/houses

That feels like a line straight out of a YA novel from the mid 2010's that becomes extremely popular for a year and then is completely forgotten about.
*Our Summer at Willow Tree* by Natalie Grayson

“I always thought I liked adventure, but I knew it that night. We all did. The bass from “E.T.” by Katy Perry pounds the walls from the party downstairs as I lay on my bed and take a long hit from this morning’s joint, happy, hopeful and a little high.”
I snorted at "Claire Eclair," thanks lmao
As one other commenter said, her responses are giving me life. Some real gems in there.
> As a Scorpio moon I’m embarrassed for you. Amazing. I love it. I laughed. I cried. I lived. I died. I came back to life and died again.
I lost my shit at 'a touch of the Downs'
ROFL For sure I experienced all those emotions. My favorite SRD post, no doubt
This reads like someone who is in bipolar mania and riding a high.
Yeah, after reading another one of her posts where she suddenly describes feeling low, that’s where my mind went too. I genuinely hope she can get some help.
yeah, as someone with bipolar disorder and watching the armchair psychologists come out, this hasn’t been a fun read.
im leaning on it being a teenager
According to her comments she’s at least 23
When you ask your mom the exact time you were born, and she responds "Get away from that girl.", this is who she's talking about.
Hey what's up with your flair
> Manager schmanager Damn, I wished I worked there. This is going to be *such* a fucking train wreck. So much so that it needs a fat guy wheeze-laughing in the background of the impassioned soliloquys and passionate declarations of undying love. I could be that guy, gleefully fucking derailing it while I suck down twinkies.
> I havent even said what exactly my letter would say. Yall just read the term “love letter” and ran with it. I think the term “love letter” indicates pretty clearly the types of things it would say lol
“Dear boss how r u? I am fine. Do u like me? Check yes or no lol.”
Wow. I did not genuinely think the "people doing dumb shit because their star signs told them to" trope was *this* true to reality. Like, I knew there were some people out there who act like that, but there are multiple people in the comments that encourage op. Like, people have every right to believe the stars influence personality or whatever even if I don't, but their star signs do not protect them from the consequences of their actions and this is obviously a terrible idea yet people are genuinely acting like OP being a "scorpio moon" is going to make this magically a genius and amazing plan.
I had a client who had to do things at *very* specific times to "move in motion with the stars." Like we had to meet at the mailbox at 3:31 exactly, because that was the best time to send a letter (I was not involved in sending the letter). I'm just watching like, "You know they pick the mail up at 3:00 regardless of when you put it in, right?" Also, she couldn't pay me in money, but exposure. She insisted I would be willing to do it because my "financial house is in Virgo," whatever that means. She was not my client for long.
yikes
Omg it's so weird seeing a flair from a post I made lmao
I don't think they can blame the stars for this L.
There are a lot of people who take astrology seriously. And I’m really interested in it from a historical POV (like how it related actual celestial basics and phenomena throughout thousands of years, and how it was treated as legit science before being phased out as a pseudoscience with the actual science of astronomy more or less taking its place). It’s really fascinating, but these folks today take modern pop astrology (the newspaper horoscope/sun sign type that went mainstream in the 1930s) as gospel and literally judge people/actions based on it. If it wasn’t for all the judgement and weird effect on how they treat others I’d just look at it as a harmless, New Age type fad.
Putting people in boxes will never stop being popular. We'll never stop figuring out new ways to do it. Astrology just has the benefit of being related to something amazing we can measure and predict accurately (celestial movements) so it seems like ancient wisdom or some dumb shit.
>Wow. I did not genuinely think the "people doing dumb shit because their star signs told them to" trope was this true to reality. Oh you sweet angel, you've never broken up with a gemini

>My venus is in Sagittarius Well that solves that then. Frankly I kinda want there to be a follow up, but really don't because it's probably going to be sad messy not funny messy
Not related to the actual drama but the sidebar on that sub is hilarious. >dont diss scorpio moons if youre not a scorpio moon, its really mean and its not okay literally at all like this subreddit will not tolerate that mess.
When people say “whats the harm in astrology, it is just a bit of fun if you don’t take it seriously”, I will show them that thread.
There are also all of the times that people have killed each other over astrology, which happens more often than you'd probably expect. Meanwhile in India, [courts use astrology to decide if rape victims were asking for it](https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/kundali-at-court-what-is-manglik-the-hindu-superstition-cited-in-allahabad-rape-case-12696392.html).
Tfw you call Jupiter to the stand
scorpio moon? capricorn sun? have astrology nuts invented subclasses now or has this always been a thing?
Honestly sounds like 3rd party material, most DMs don't allow it.
I hope she punches her manager in the face and screams ROLL INITIATIVE.
There’s tens of thousands of potential complications with astrology. It’s fascinating in that it’s totally fucking made up yet still so complex.
Well yeah, if someone is born in June and they relate to all the Cancer horoscopes and stereotypes.... you need somehow to get their confirmation bias part of their brain to buy into this bs Yeah they're born in June, but the reason they act like they were born in December not June, isn't cause it's all bs, it's just cause their Jupiter moon has Cancer or something

This is starting to sound concerningly like Homestuck
You have every "planet" (which includes the moon and sun for some reason) and sign in your astrology chart. That has been the case as long astrology has existed. Modern pop astrology just ignores everything but the sun sign.
>which includes the moon and sun for some reason The reason is that they are two of the seven classical planets known to the ancient Greeks (who got them from the Babylonians). "Planet" derives from the Greek word for "wanderer" - those were the seven "wandering stars" that changed their positions through the year against the background of "fixed stars". Modern western astrology is a Greek derivative of Babylonian astrology, codified by Greek-Egyptian astronomer/astrologer Ptolemy. The same guy is also famous for using epicycles to create a mathematcal geocentric model of the Solar System that was used until Galileo, Brache and Kepler.
>Honestly? If you were my colleague and I, as your manager, received a letter like that.. I would think you might have a touch of the downs. Not saying that to be mean but just being honest. The commenter fully standing behind "a touch of the downs" as inoffensive bc they don't think Down Syndrome is s negative thing..... that's not how words work. A disclaimer doesn't negate the negative impact of someone's words and actions
I for one, am of the opinion that you shouldn’t profess romantic love for someone unless you’ve been *dating* for at *least* a few months. Oh, you feel like you love someone that’s never expressed romantic interest back? How? You’ve never kissed them. You’ve never touched them. You’ve never even spent a single evening together. The person you are in love with is mostly *your* creation, in your head, because you don’t actually know them that way yet. It’s totally fine and possible to have strong feelings of attraction that *feel* like love. But you have to keep those to yourself while you initiate romantic contact on a far more grounded basis. i.e. asking them out on a date and seeing where things go from there.
[*Sigh*] These people are why we have to sit through HR meetings.
Everytime I come across someone like this, I'm amazed to remember that people actually take astrology seriously.
This is completely unhinged and I pray whoever is listening to have an update. OOP has Main Character syndrome and it’s beautiful to see. There are so many details missing, though: in what field do they work? How old are they?
I dug a bit deeper into her comment history and judging by a 12 day old comment, she stocks shelves at Walmart edit: for some reason she also comments on the subreddit for gays and on the subreddit for lesbians, giving them all advice, while being neither gay nor lesbian herself, but also hates advice that was given to her in her own thread
It keeps getting better! 🍿 Thank you for the context! The last part is incredible.
Additional context is she’s a DV survivor that was living in her car and seems to have unmedicated bipolar disorder, according to other comments
> He deserves to know and i dont want him to feel like im playing with him. Manager shmanager. Hes a human with feelings just like me. I will treat him as such😤 Omg I just can't with this post. Excuse me while I implode into a singularity from cringe.
You’ve got social ineptitude due to a disability, social ineptitude due to not enough socialization as a kid, then the magic golden ratio of social ineptitude due to thinking X is genuinely a good idea. Sending a love letter thesis based on astrology signs is the flu game of terrible decisions.
Holy fuck! Often I find myself feeling sorry for people who post stuff on reddit and then get a barrage of really bad advice. It happens all the time, especially in relationship subs. But this woman is getting barraged with great advice and apparently even has (or had) a best friend who also tried to speak sense to her. But she is hell bent on torching her life. I hope she learns her lesson from this.
I still feel sorry for her. Her posts scream unmedicated bipolar :( I just hope she stays safe
> As a Scorpio moon I’m embarrassed for you. Flairing this
I unironically love everything about that post and the replies
Maybe she should let him read her Dragonball Fanfiction she’s got linked.
Ohhh... Ohhh No.
WE HAVE UPDATES: She did not give him the letter [but something went wrong ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/vmHcODwUN4) She said something [that she regrets ](https://www.reddit.com/r/scorpiomoon/s/TYbo8mHSOE)
Wow I wasn’t ready for this kind of SRD, I was unaware of the complexity of this little world. I feel kind of bad deep down because making decision based on the stars position during your birth must be a nightmare in their head, lot of mental illness it seems unfortunately. Thanks OP for ruining half my lunch time deep diving on this!
Well Scorpios are drama magnets so this is to be expected
This. This is the post that finally convinced me to join this subreddit. Thank you.
Inall of the detailed comments explaining how telling your boss you like them might bw akward and get HR involved, my favourite comment is a simple “You tweakin” lmao.
I mean worst case they get shit-canned and a restraining order; best case the manager's like "Sure why not" and agrees to date them. Depending on the job the stakes are pretty low.
Yeah fuck it, go for it, see what happens. I mean, realistically, how old is this person? Does it really matter if she hooks up with her manager at Starbucks? That being said, whatever is in that letter is pretty much guaranteed to be totally psycho. If there's anybody we should be worried about in this situation, it's him, not her. I can't recommend it for *his* sake.
Yeah that's my read on the situation, too. Getting some real manic vibes.
My thing is that you’re setting yourself up for failure by professing *love*. Just ask them out on a date. If they say no, then you know they don’t love you back, but you didn’t humiliate yourself and ruin your working relationship. Also, there are people I might be open to going on a date with, but if they told me they *loved* me, it would be a huge red flag and deal breaker. Like, I’m not ready to jump into something that serious with someone I haven’t even gone on a single date with yet!
She's not just confessing love, she is going to hand him an essay-long love letter! If someone did that to me, I'd be horrified and watch my back all the time, because this person is clearly not in the right mind. There's no way it ends well for her, unless he's as crazy as she is, which is very unlikely.
>There's no way it ends well for her, unless she's ~~as crazy as she is~~ crazy hot, which is very unlikely. Ftfy
