You may have to overcome something in your background or personal past in order to achieve your long-range goals and ambitions. Sometimes you're apt to feel pulled in two different directions -- what others expect of you or what you need to do to progress, versus what your old conditioning or your emotional predisposition would have you do. Overcoming the pull of the past is the key.

This is a minor aspect that causes friction or irritation especially if exact.

The Moon Aspecting the Mid-Heaven: Increases the chance that either you or what you do will come before the public. Specifically Moon-ruled careers include everything from hotel, motel, and restaurant management, to the dairy industry and domestic real estate. But it is good for any career that requires a response from the public. Jane Fonda has the Moon square the Mid-Heaven. These squares can make the career go up and down and up again. Her career certainly did that before, during, and after the Vietnam war. Salvador Dali has the conjunction. The harmonious aspects work out in a smoother fashion and can make you beloved by the public. Bill Cosby has a Virgo Moon almost exactly trine his Capricorn Mid-Heaven.

the square-

quote:

---

Sun square Moon
The square formed between the Sun and Moon shows conflict in certain aspects of the life. Self-expression is blocked by emotional hangups or habit patterns that may be inherited or conditioned by past events. Family and domestic affairs keep you from developing the way you would like. The conditions in your early family environment may have caused difficulties in understanding and getting along with the opposite sex. In these relationships you can be too argumentative and defensive. You may need to get the chip off your shoulder sometimes. This aspect suggests a conflict between the ego and the emotions. There is a presence of tension between your outer and inner self.

the trine -

Sun trine Moon
A trine formed between the Sun and the Moon shows a harmonious balance between your will and your learned habits and emotions. Your natural reactions to circumstances encourage success and the healthy growth of your ego and self-esteem. Early relations with parents were helpful and you were probably encouraged to express your individuality and become your own person. People respond to you freely and with ease. You are comfortable with responsibility because you are capable of getting others to follow you without becoming domineering and dogmatic. If a problem exists here, it's a lack of assertiveness caused by your not sensing the need to be firm.

Also does your moon feel more virgo like... or libra like?

Capricorn/Virgo -

quote:

---

10-6 Capricorn/Virgo
The combination of your Sun and Moon signs produces a somewhat reserved personality, but one that is well concealed by the pleasant and outstanding image that is shown to the world. You bluff the appearance of being sure of yourself and your purposes. Actually, you have a great deal of difficulty making decisions and your self-assurance is very thin indeed. You progress best in activities in which the rules of the game are well established and decisions play a minimal part in the evaluation of success. You are well-endowed mentally, possessing a logical, systematic, analytical and discriminating mind. Your strong point is in analysis or analytical criticism, as you seek to build up a strictly rational foundation of thought. You control feelings and emotions with an iron grip. In all emotional matters you're careful and controlled. Much of the time you are content to be pretty much a loner. You are not an easy person to talk to or to live with because you are so aloof, reserved, and cautious. Academically you may be outstanding, especially when it comes to facts and realities. Perhaps not so when it comes to theories and hypotheses. A precocious knack for grasping facts may aim the focus of your life toward scholarly pursuits, and your real strength come out when you are allowed to focus your capacity for concentration on a single objective.

or Capricorn/Libra

quote:

---

10-7 Capricorn/Libra
The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a personality that is drawn in two opposite directions. The nature of Capricorn is highly disciplined and cautious, while Libra is rash and impulsive. What tends to result is a rather positive persona, with a sort of inspirational faith in your own infallibility, a bit the eccentric at times, but generally a very amiable individual. You like people, but the driving force in your nature may be more material than humanitarian. You are not very romantic, and there is a detachment about you that belies your real need for people. You are extremely social, and like to have people around you, but at the same time, you do not warm up to them very quickly; you are somewhat proud, a bit suspicious, and as a result, you remain aloof. You have a talent for mixing socially, however, and for getting along well with your superiors using a tact and diplomacy that assures progress in business interests. You capitalize in business, or in a profession, on persuasiveness and a friendly attitude of diplomacy. You very much dislike direct conflict or hostile situations, and your instinct to do the right thing to preserve peace and order is generally appreciated by all. Your talents also feature the ability to exercise sound and impartial judgment, especially in a business environment; the ability to mentally balance things, criticize and compare. There is a certain mental foresight that lets you see the flaws in plans before they become reality and cause problems. This well-balanced mentality is well backed by serious purpose and thoughtfulness, a desire to get ahead and assume responsibility. Maintaining balance and equilibrium can prove to be the key to your success and happiness. Your interests in business are enhanced by your ability to win others to your point of view by persuasiveness and utter charm.

In the first part, Sun Square Moon seems more fitting, but I've also found in my chart that I am very self-critical. I had a decent childhood, but I don't think my parents really knew how to raise me. My artistic abilities were apparent right off the bat, but I remember even as a young child my mom saying that art wasn't a practical endeavor. They did a bit better when my musicality came out. They got me some piano lessons, but I never felt truly backed by my parents in my music. My dad IS a terrible example of how to verbally treat a wife, but I don't think that has transferred to me. There's too much in me that wants to get along. As far as the tension between my outer and inner self, I feel that sometimes, but I'm not sure what it is or what the resolution is (other than to stay away from my family's ideas about me).

In the Sun Trine Moon part, the last two lines ring very true to me. "You are comfortable with responsibility because you are capable of getting others to follow you without becoming domineering and dogmatic. If a problem exists here, it's a lack of assertiveness caused by your not sensing the need to be firm." That's absolutely true.

In the Cap/Virgo thing, this line seems appropriate to me:

"You bluff the appearance of being sure of yourself and your purposes. Actually, you have a great deal of difficulty making decisions and your self-assurance is very thin indeed. "

also this:

"Much of the time you are content to be pretty much a loner. You are not an easy person to talk to or to live with because you are so aloof, reserved, and cautious. Academically you may be outstanding, especially when it comes to facts and realities. "

But I feel those lines aren't always true. I'm more of a loner in my house right now, because my roommate loves to talk and tell me stories I have absolutely no desire to hear. In other living situations I've never been the loner that I am here.

The Cap/Libra description almost fits me to a tee. I am a romantic, though, and I wouldn't say that I'm always extremely social. I can run the spectrum when it comes to degrees of socialness. Otherwise, everything sounds pretty exactly right, down to needing people, and yet acting aloof towards them. (Also interesting to me is that Libra has come up a few times when taking tests about what I'd like in a partner.)

So my ego got bruised, and I've been through depressive spells, but now I'm thinking about doing something radical. Just taking a new direction altogether. I coincidentally came across a really great book in my collection that's shedding some light on some of my self-defeating behaviors.

I also find it interesting that I'm Aries/capricorn.. the sign I find hardest to comprehend is cancer.. so i get along with the square I have - capricorn.. I get along with my opposite Libra and I get along with other Aries..

With you.. if you were Capricorn/Libra it's kinda the same.. you might get along with Librans.. capricorns.. and your opposite cancer.. and not get along with Aries.. makes sense

With the 29 degree thing.. i noticed it changes over time.. Maybe when you were younger you were more Virgo moon like.. do you think?

You sound like you've had a hard time past couple of years.. Saturn's been transiting through Cancer.. that might be why. lol It squared and opposed a lot of my chart - the aries and capricorn bits, it's been a very weird annoying dull time to me anyways. I know it hurts when you really want something and you don't get it and you did go on a bit about not fulfilling your potential.. so I'm guessing that ties in with being depressed. But you're not exactly old and you can still do anything you want to do if you try.. And besides the fact that you didn't get that job isn't an evaluation of your capabilities.. don't look at it that way. You know yourself better than anyone else and you know what you're capable of so prove that to yourself at the right time in the future.. I hope that made sense, I'm tired..

I don't know what's up with the last few years of my life. I'm just tired of it. I look to things like Astrology to gain a better grasp of my self, my inner nature. I've done lots of personality tests, and read many self-help books for the same reason. There are lots of positive aspects of me, but I do have a self-critical nature, and I have trouble acting boldly in areas where perhaps I should.

As far as being Virgo moon-like, I always read that section of my profile, and think it's just not altogether right. It's just too sterile for my tastes. I think there's a certain amount of truth to it. I also have Moon in the 5th house, which contradicts the mostly silent nature of Moon in Virgo:

Moon in 5th house:
You are emotionally expressive and often dramatize your feelings, acting them out or blowing them out of proportion. You can not hide your instinctive emotional reactions to people or situations, and you don't make any pretenses about your personal sympathies or antipathies.

You have a childlike openness and playfulness which is very appealing to others, but which sometimes gets you into trouble, as you take risks on impulse or whim.

Also:

Moon Conjunct Pluto:
Your emotions are very intense, but often hidden. Like a volcano, one minute you seem quite peaceful and the next you are exploding with great force and unexpected fury. The intensity of your reactions often surprises even you. You have tremendous zeal and tend to be an emotional fanatic about things you care about. Your feelings and desires can be so compelling that you do things against your better judgment and reason. You can also be very manipulative, in a subtle way. Your personal relationships are deeply emotional, passionate, and often stormy and painful as well.

----------------

So I don't know what to make of my Virgo moon. I do have the good mind it talks about, but I find myself more emotional and passionate than the way it is described.

I saw a couple great books at Barnes & Noble today. One was something like, "How To Tell A B@stard By Their Star Sign." It was absolutely hilarious! It was written for women, and it talks about the male b@stard in each sign divided, of course, by element and sign.
