Never forget, these people are full of two things they'll never admit to you: hope and fear.

Just smile at them once in a while, if you have the chance.

Hubby gets depressed and everybody just stays away from him for the time being... then he snaps out of it and his Saggi humour and attitude shines through. It's not a problem for me per se but it is rather difficult on my two teenagers who just look at me and say "What the hell is wrong with him now?"

Sometimes I think I fell in love with my hubby because he resembles my mother - with attitude and all. Except that it's a bit better since I can actually tell him to p*ss off when he gets into this mood. I swear that sometimes, he should be the female in the house with major PMS.

Oh well... so life goes on...

Oh... please don't get me wrong... I do love him. I posted this to try and get a better understanding of why he can get into such a slump sometimes. It doesn't mean I don't love him but I really don't like him when he's in one of those moods.

I guess I was hoping to find ways to help him get out of the slump faster, so that it will be easier on all of us (not just me).

Knowing that it's the Capricorn influence that might cause it, I can then find ways to soothe him... for example: Capricorns is an earth sign and correct me if I am wrong but they like stability. One of the ways I found that I can get him out of the slump is showing him that we have built a solid foundation (family, monetary) through the 12 years that we are together. This seem to work but I have to keep finding out other ways or I will sound like a broken record.

Thanks for your concern,

Usually Capricorn sun/moon/asc would make the person quite solitary when upset or depressed. If he shuts out or takes time to himself, just leave him alone for a while and he'll work through it himself.

I will keep that in mind. It's just hard on everyone around him... argghh! And I am not the most patient person with both Sun and Saturn in Aries.

i know someone with a capricorn moon within one degree of libra sun, i know it's hard for them to express their feeings, especially if sad..

is there anyway to help someone open up more with this placement?

My ex was a double cappy (sun and moon). I did and still do find him very difficult to deal with. He's gloomy, morose and takes everything very seriously indeed. He seems very prone to depression, bless him. He also has a problem with bottling his emotions up and releasing them in the worst possible way - and is surprisingly prone to aggression (aries rising maybe?).

but....

...that's not to say all caps are like this. My friend is a cap with either a cancer or a leo moon and although she has a serious, business-like attitude at work, outside of that she's witty, fun and always game for a laugh!

I think it has a lot to do with their ruling planet. Remember the lesson of saturn - learning through limitations, duty and responsibility. As a cap ages, the burden seems to lift. Didn't Linda say in one of her books that elder caps are some of the most youthful and sprightly folk around?! It seems as though serious saturn's lesson for them is, to not take life too seriously in the end!!! This certainly seems to be the case with most of the older caps I know - my ex's dad being an example. He's settling into his age with a far more relaxed attitude!

I have that "dreaded" water sun cap moon combo that someone above stated. I am a "moody ***** " at times but Im also one of the most sensitive., sweet, helpful and responsible people around.

Take the good with the "bad"!!!
