With Sun in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, Venus in Sag, and Pisces rising, he seems very unemotional. Actually, wrong word. Undemonstrative is more like it, though very sensitive. It sounds like a contradiction, I realize this as I am writing, but.. he is sort of a forever contemplating his own navel kind of guy. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Moon is btw. the only "planet" he has in earth.

I know a few Cappy mooners and tend to like them alot and understand them well (I have Cap rising). Some of my favorite people here have Cap moons. Pixie, trillian, Randall, Aphrodite......I know there's more. Maybe they'll come along and help you out some more.

No, really ~* frostbite *~ is not a joke. I mean them well.

My cousin has an Aries Moon and she says similar things. I ponder this often.

And tonight, I think I may have an interesting idea that may warm a Cappy Moon.

Success!

Are you making this face?

Just hear me out.

We beam at success, ours and everybody elses. You accomplish a goal? Woohoo! We'll root and kiss ya. He pays off a bill that had been collecting for a while? Woohoo! Give him a kiss. He'll smile. The kids are reading better at bedtime? Woohoo! Another hug.

Like that. Ease it in. Don't order or make demands. Those won't work. We think for ourselves and decide how we want to feel. We have have to learn harder how to help others feel good than other Moon Signs.

Most especially though, direct pointing out that Leo Moons like to do DON'T work for Cappy Moons.

Gawd help us Frosty Moons, but don't initiate conversations in tears and out of breath paragraphs. Although I am very emotional and do empathize (Venus in Pisces making too many aspects in my chart), but the first thing I suspect a Frosty Moon would do is give you a box of tissues and a wastepaper basket (So practical, ugh). I know that would drive a Fire Moon nuts . . . You guys want to communicate, engage in fiery matches, get all worked up and passionate when it comes to the heart . . . then it gets twisted out of the issue and into personal attacks . . . eew how mean and Cappy Moons shut down and say, "Sorry, I'm not saying anymore and sticking with my decision based on what has been said. You're not making any sense and although I am open for further discussion, not with us like this and I won't tolerate belittling language. We'll talk later or not at all. I'm never going to forget this."

Heart is a tricky word. We keep those locked up in a pretty box, and I would bet an ancient sweet smelling wood . . . so natural and pretty. No hearts on the sleeve, everything else almost like it ~ yes.

You've got the problem down pat, I'll give you that...

So you are one of them, huh..

You give of course good advice, and I thank you wholeheartedly for that, however... we are talking about an acrimonious, volatile marriage here, not a friendship where you'd let things slide and try to adapt a little. I could see changing my tactics for a friend, but in this marriage our emotions are already raw. And we are talking about M O O N here, not tempering an overly aggressive Mars, or a too talkative Mercury, but Moon which is feelings and needs and pure instinct. Seems to be that, short my getting a lobotomy, I am always going to freak him out. It's a wet blanket kind of effect he has on me, compounded by his Saturn/Mars conj. on my Ascendant. It all sucks big time...

I deeply appreciate your input, Aphrodite, you really shed light on something that had me puzzled.

Pixie, well, what can I say... Your being a woman might be less what makes it different than your having a Leo Ascendant. Case in point: one of my daughters (Scorpio/Gemini) has Moon in Aries, and she gets into the kind of thing with her father that makes him shake his head and say "she gets it honestly..."

And my other daughter is a Taurus with Cancer Moon. Her disposition is on the whole calmer, and sweeter somehow (that's why I was, I think, the only one who guesses freebird's Cancer Moon - they have the same eyes) but she does have Aries rising, and that makes her a force of nature in her own right, despite that sweetness. What I am trying to say is there is a balance there, with the fire sign ascendant that makes up for a more "inner" type of Moon. -- Does this make any sense to anyone besides me?

My husband already cringes when I animatedly talk about something or somebody that doesn't even have anyting to do with him at all. He somehow seems to feel threatened by my energy... Many times he perceives me as being angry even when I'm not.

It's all very disconcerting, and it has been going on for a long time, to the point where I am really and genuinely fed up with this marriage. I want to be me again without someone trying to make me feel bad about myself.

Thanks for listening. I'll get off my soap box now.

Hiya Loggerhead

Well, you did ask for a little bit of insight into the mystery and figuring him out, Moon sign to be precise. Your words, my friend. If you had said Marriage, volatile, raw etc. ~ new words you've introduced, not necessarily the same as asking about insight into him as a person, I probably wouldn't have replied because I have never been married before and can't honestly say how I as a Capricorn Moon would be in a marriage.

Pixie is the only one here that I know of that is married with this placement. Trillian, Randall and I are single. And as far as I know, none of us are even engaged to be married.

Your reply seemed fiesty, and biting at me, so I just wanted to clarify where I am coming from.

Take care

I even thanked you twice, once even with a , and still you had that impression. That's why I am so utterly fed up with Cappy Moon (not YOU, you really did help me a lot, but how could I ever verbalize it, because for you guys, I think any amount of praise is just never enough??) and still you feel I was "biting at you." That's just what I mean...

Is his Moon Aspecting his Venus or Saturn?

A Moon in Cappy in the 10th says it all, but there could be more. On the positive side, he's probably mega ambitious!

Yes, i'd say that i'm sensitive but undemonstrative. I try my utmost to avoid emotional situations, and i hate it when folk try to emotionally manipulate me. The thing i hate most is communicating my emotions in speech, which makes me cringe.

I remember reading that the Moon's House position is supposed to be linked to the mother, and Sol is likewise linked to the father.

With Capricorn moon (being the opposite) it gets a bit distorted.. so if Capricorn moon sees a person cry they think "awwwww I wanna make them happy" (so same goal) but they don't know how to do it.. Cancers way.. so instead of hugging and expressing emotion.. they'd think "what can I DO practically to make this person feel better?.. get them a new play station? or make them a hot chocolate? or etc etc" they think about things they can DO.. which is why sometimes they seem cold or undemonstrative. It isn't (well at least in my case) because they don't care. They care A LOT..they just don't find it easy to express that , so they try to express it through practical material things.. instead of just raw emotion - like Cancer moon would.

Though that being said..I get attached to people and hug them and tell them I love them.. but I only do that when I really feel that way, when I'm actually close to the person. Like my best friend gets a lot of bear hugs, so does my mum and my bf.. but friends who I'm not close to and aquaintances wouldn't get as much of that.. I don't think I'm undemonstrative though, but I'm also a girl and my moon closely sextiles Merc.. I actually find it pretty easy to explain to people how I feel and put my feelings into words.

If his moon and merc have no connection in his chart.. it would make it harder to verbalise

Also I'm an Aries..he's a Scorp.. You have a Leo moon so you'd probably feel a lot more comfortable with a fire sign with Cap moon.. because Scorpio squares your own moon.

I like my space, both physically and emotionally. The more someone tries to push their point, the more resistant i am, although that's probably more linked with my Saturn square than the moon's position.

But yes, i do find physical expression of emotions difficult. I'm not turned on by emotional reticence either, it's just that weeping and wailing make me want to walk the other way!
