I'm a Scorp sun/Virgo moon/Leo rising and my partner is Taurus sun/Aries moon/Virgo rising. His moon is exactly sextile his Pluto.

We have a LOT of fun together (his moon forms a trine with my asc and Sag stellium). His moon sits on my natal Saturn as well. Similar values, views, etc.

But...he's a hothead. He can go from 0-100 out of nowhere. And for me, I'm quick to retreat and avoid conflict so it's not always easy.

Since he got laid off two months ago, he's been very moody. We've talked openly about it and he has heard me and made progress, but I don't know how to handle when he specifically jumps to conclusions and gets upset over misunderstandings.

He has a tendency to assume the worst and it's really hard for me. He's quick to settle down and hear me out, but I really wish the split-second reactions wouldn't be so dramatic.

What are some ways, if any, I can understand him better? We both agree emotional regulation is needed on both ends.
