Gemini Sun, Capricorn Moon

You could close the deal, write the memo and do an impression of the other side on the way home, without showing most people that last part.

Gifts Gemini usually lacks

A Capricorn Moon brings order to a mind that usually scatters. You set goals and you reach them, and you tend to be cooler, calmer and more ambitious than other Gemini Suns. Business can suit you very well, since you’re analytical, you read people quickly and you know what you’ll settle for before the meeting starts. Your wit is dry enough that people sometimes miss it for a moment.

Your Moon also puts you under some pressure. You may not feel you’ve earned a rest, and light conversation can be how you keep anyone from noticing that.

An area of ambiguity

Relationships can be where you get confused about yourself. Your eye wanders, but you love your solitude. You can be shy and saucy in the same evening. Emotionally you’d like a serious commitment, and intellectually you need variety and a good challenge. Partners may find your elegant self-control very attractive, and they might spend a long time trying to find out what’s behind it.

You want mental rapport, but you may prefer it to come with some distance. Sharing what you think is easy. Sharing what you’re afraid of takes years, if it happens at all.

Being known

Give someone the unpolished version once in a while, before you’ve worked out how to present it. Use the same discipline you bring to work: an hour a week with no phones and no agenda, for telling the truth about how you are. Choose someone clever enough to keep you interested and steady enough that you don’t feel you need to hedge. Your Moon relaxes when it sees that someone’s staying. Then your playful side can come out, and that’s a treat for all concerned.
