The Basics

The Moon represents our emotional nature and our subconscious mind, and in the sign of Capricorn, it tends to express itself in a practical, responsible, and ambitious manner.

You have a reputation for being serious and responsible, and you strongly believe that obligations come first above all else. You are a traditionalist, a dependable person, and an achiever who is able to see plans through to their successful conclusion. You crave recognition, and you have a strong sense of ambition, which is perhaps because you feel unloved, unwanted, or insufficient.

You feel most comfortable in environments that are structured and organized. To feel complete, you must feel confident with your own authority.

You have a disciplined and reserved approach to your emotions, and you may have difficulty expressing them openly. You prefer to keep your emotions under control and present a calm, cool, and collected exterior to the world. To others, you may appear to be rather hard-nosed and tough, with a businesslike attitude toward their personal concerns and feelings. You may also be ruthless in your desire for power and success. Selfishness and manipulation are possible.

You are highly ambitious and have a strong desire for success, and you are willing to work hard and make sacrifices to achieve your goals. You are disciplined and responsible, and you have a strong sense of duty and obligation.  However, your emotional reserve and conservative approach can sometimes lead you to be pessimistic and overly critical of yourself and others. You may struggle with self-doubt and a fear of failure, which can make it difficult for you to take risks and pursue your dreams.

It is important for you to find a balance between your practical, responsible nature and your emotional needs. You may benefit from learning to express your emotions in a healthy and constructive way, and finding ways to release any pent-up tension or stress.
