Why is it so hard? It's really the same for everyone else except they either have a vivid imagination to escape from reality or some enthusiasm to believe in the future. We generally have neither and take reality a bit too seriously. Doom is in the eye of the beholder.

Good news is it's all subjective perspective and can (does) change with time. Even if you can't do anything to make your friend lighten up right now, they'll be able to do that themselves given some time. Btw, if you have specific q's there's many people on this forum who can answer with surprising accuracy.

But I agree on the Saturn thing, there's all this strong-need for self-control emotionally wise, for me, atleast, so I feel stuff a bit more intensely as I ponder it for quite a while and I think a lot.

that's a good point. How do you see that working for you (the Pisces moon) overall?

Yeah, the overwhelming neptune influence helps quite a bit, but my chart ruler itself's in scorpio. I recently figured out how to imagine myself out of a seemingly tough situation though and that definitely helps.

Thanks. Oh its helpful and sometimes pretty annoying. Because I've got so much Capricorn, I feel uncomfortable with expressing myself emotionally and the Pisces Moon does NOT help then at all, but I'm thankful cause it balances my chart properly, I don't express my emotions in excess but neither do I repress my emotions in excess, err if you get what I mean and I'm not an insensitive wuss. It makes me empathic, and not such a cold person. Most of the time its cool to've a Pisces Moon. I fantasize a lot too (though that may also be also be because of Venus exactly conjunct Neptune in 1st house_, which reallly helps me, because you can do anything in your fantasies, its a good way to escape from reality, and the capricorn in my chart helps limit it (from going too far). How does the Scorpio influence play out in your chart???

Cappyme,

Sounds like you enjoy those pisces and neptune placements there. I have my venus in pisces and it sounds quite a bit like your venus-neptune aspect. And just how you said, there's lots of fantasy but it never gets out of hand with the Cap influence.

Quite a few healers and psychics I have met are Capricorns.....

They are ancient souls have a very strong sense of "knowing"

Its' how I feel regarding the Caps men I know, they will give up a quality friendship with a woman for a more exciting one or less exciting one if she is communicates her feelings and thoughts regarding him constantly.

I believe it's a meeting of the minds first-maybe the problems are the result of one person hanging on because the relationship was practical at one time. Since it makes logical sense, it should work.

The cap view is:
One thing about quitting is that it's over. If two people want to be together, why should they quit?

My view is that cap men are sexy and emotional, but they can cut off their sexiness whenever they feel like it leaving a woman feeling alone and unbalanced. Mature Caps push for more honesty and open-ness.

As an earth sign myself, whenever I feel unsure of being honest, I push myself a little harder to be open and communicate.

Nope, not a Cap. I've got Jupiter & Saturn Conjunct in Capricorn.

You mean, in full astrological interpretation?

For me in a nutshell it's Jupiter's Optimism being given a strong dose of Saturian and Capricorn reality. The Conjunction to Saturn, plus they are both in Capricorn. And then you take Saturn, which is already about discipline, and putting IT in the Sign of Capricorn too.

Jupiter is about Expanding, Saturn is about Restriction.

The only saving grace here is that they are both in the 9th House (using Placidus House System). The 9th House Rules Jupiter. To me, this makes me WANT to see a positive side to everything, although in the present, things may seem impossibly twisted. I may never really reach the point where I truly live like all is good, but it at least forces me to find the good, (if not practical side) to everything.
