Personality
Moon in Capricorn, you confront life in a careful and reserved way. The moon gives us our instinctual nature – Capricorn being a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, shows that you seek stability and meet your needs through practical action and a lot of patience. You have a conservative nature and see value in tradition, those things which have upheld people and societies for aeons.
The Moon also shows us how we deal with emotions. You prefer keeping your experiences to yourself, and might have difficulties being open about your emotions. You might hoard your emotions, as you don’t know how to express them or liberate yourself from them. You can also hold grudges for a long time, if you accumulate too many of them the world is going to look like a terrible place to you.
Emotional clutter can present in the material world for some of you as physical clutter. If that is the case, remember the process works both ways – you can release some emotion through purging your physical space, if you have difficulties with that, remember to accept external help. You are patient and a good learner – so learn some methods (Marie Kondo or swedish death cleaning) whatever resonates.
You can show real concern to others and you will mean it and follow through with actions. However you often respond to others in a cautious, reserved way and keep your distance. This can lead to being misunderstood and people not giving you quite the credit you deserve.
You want things to feel right, to feel proper and you get stressed out when they change, as they always do. Heightened stress can cause you to show a more pessimistic and even fatalistic side of yourself. This could manifest as melancholy and depression so it is vital to remain proactive in managing your emotional life. When you feel that the world around you is crumbling and depriving you of your strong foundations you might hold on to traditional or outdated notions and concepts as they give you a sense of stability.
To deal more productively with negative feelings you can take practical action. Learn about emotions – notice how sadness or anger make you feel and what triggers them. Don’t relive past events. Use nature as a source of calm and peace – go barefoot on an earthen path, do some gardening, go for a late evening or early morning walk in nature when the air is fresh.
At Work:
Moon in Capricorn above all you need an environment that offers you security and stability. You have a practical side to you, and have the patience to watch things slowly developing. You know that the day you plant the seed isn’t the day you eat the fruit.
You like order in your environment, a more conservative one might resonate more with you – a traditional office instead of that hipster coworking space.
You will not always show how much an environment stresses you out, you will take it as a part of the job. Take it as a health care and make sure to unwind properly – you don’t have to be stressed to be appreciated!
But you have some ambition as well, you want to work towards steady progress. You also have quite a talent for managing responsibility. You like to feel valued in the community.
As an employee you are dependable and you thrive at jobs that demand your best every day. You go for quality work, not boisterous superficial one. You can work alone or contribute to a project. You are going to be committed and wouldn’t mind the long hours.
You will probably do well as an autonomous firm owner. You will have the patience of constructing a stable “castle”. If you have employees remember that discipline is important for a good climate, but being rigid and overly demanding can drive your workers away. Make the effort to show that you care about your employees.
You might enjoy doing work that upholds traditions or looks into the past like archeology. Areas such as geology or geography could also appeal with its connection to the earth, its ancient landscapes and the slow processes they evolve under. There is likely a love for nature and so you could work well in areas of conservation, making sure that these spaces can be maintained for generations to come.
Appreciative of the structures that make life function, Capricorns make good architects or any work involving construction. Capricorn’s association with bones and teeth could have you interested in how to best care for these.
Your ambitious nature might take you to where the money is; accounting, corporations, stock exchange, wherever you feel those high ambitions can be met. Alternatively you are drawn to what feels essential to the societal order. This could be any position in government or politics.
In Relationships
Moon in Capricorn, romance is probably not the highest point on your list. When you decide it is time for it you might treat the relationship as a business deal, because you understand the practical side behind the initial attraction. You know that the daily grind is what counts long term. And you want a stable and peaceful long term relationship.
When you show love it is going to be in a practical way – providing help and doing things for your significant other. Your biggest act of love is being dedicated and committed in the relationship to the end.
You would appreciate a partner that is realistic and supportive to your life goals. A partner that shows self-discipline, acts proper and has a sense of prudency might be preferred. You wouldn’t mind them being somewhat conservative. A partner that is capable of showing you silent love and is willing to construct the relationship over time with a steady pace.
There are a couple of things that can be more difficult in the relationship. One of them is demands and boundaries – don’t put too much pressure on your partner to act in a way that you prefer, be realistic. A partnership requires compromise, trust and compassion as well. You can’t always be in control, sometimes it is ok to release it.
Another issue is being inconsiderate at times, forgetting to put your partner before the difficulties of life, giving them the cold shoulder or not realising that their needs might be different than yours. Showing your love and appreciation for the person beside you is important even in times of struggle. Even when it is really hard to do so!
However you need your alone time as well, make it regular, if necessary schedule it, it gives you internal strength and calmness. It is also the time you need to mull over things and be grumpy in peace for a while.
You might also tend towards self-restraint of your own happiness, your own positive emotions. Practice being happy about the small things in the relationship – your partner made you coffee, you took a nice walk together – find moments that anchor you and remind you why it is ok to be happy in life. Celebrate them as much as you can!
Stay focused, stay ambitious and we’ll see you next time.
