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.

While Pisces Moon people soak up and often mirror the emotions of those around them, Capricorn Moon people use emotions as tools to motivate (or manipulate) both their own selves and those around them.

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 when you are not where you think you should be in your life or career, you likely have (an irrational) feeling of being 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.

Capricorn energy craves structure and authority, thus you take a disciplined and reserved approach to your emotions, and likely have difficulty expressing feelings openly - for that could undermine your authority.

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 with this placement.

You are willing to work hard and make sacrifices to achieve your goals. You are disciplined and responsible, and 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.
