I have Mercury in Aries and Moon in Capricorn also. The Aries Mercury would cause us to say things we don't think about that can be cutting but then realize later that you want to take it back. I've said a lot of stupid things but only to those I'm closest to and I feel like I am pretty quiet otherwise. I constantly try to take a step back, go for a walk when I'm upset. Exercise in general helps me a great deal with stress/anxiety.

The Cap. moon causes us to be standoffish at points, a bit of wanting to be in control, perfectionistic and being too hard on ourselves. We may seem cold to a significant other physically but we really feel deeply and are complex in this way. I feel Cap. moon people can have breakdowns, crying because they strive to be their best but then learn to just do what's enough. Like we can't handle stress. I have been very "all or none" in my life with working on things at points, which leads to anxiety.

Sounds a bit like me as well. I feel like the Cancer Ascendant causes us to absorb emotions, environments, vibes, other people's energy easily which leads to irritability and getting overwhelmed. I am prone to crying episodes, at times panic attacks but have worked on this.

With your Taurus influences this can also cause you to be stubborn, short tempered, etc.

Do you have someone around you who is triggering your asc? Perhaps someone with mars there? I am a cancer ascendant and notice that I react strongly to people whose mars falls close to mine (asc)...i get really teary eyed from it sometimes. I am not usually like that... it seems to be very present whenever I interact with someone who has mars in cancer.

In addition, Moon is square Mercury in Aries. This may be the likely culprit with getting an idea in your head and your emotions involved in both your personal opinions and how you express them. Because these hard Moon-Mercury aspects get cognition and feelings all bunched into a corner, it is too easy to state your feelings as if they were facts, and state your intellectual point of view with unneeded emotion.

The good thing about that Moon-Mercury aspect is that it helps a Capricorn Moon person be more expressive of their feelings and more communicative of them.

Plus you have Moon parallel Neptune (21-22° South declination), which means it is easy for your emotions to get fuzzy edges around what are your emotions vs someone else's. You're looking for the peaceful or ideal scenario and when it is broken it feels personal and disappointing. Neptune deals with the ideal and our desire for it. This type of aspect can make it a challenge to accept the harsher earthly realities. In time, you'll learn more of how to see them as opportunities for finding the ideal within yourself and sharing it a bit at a time with others through acts of inclusion and love.

Water, Pisces, Cancer, Moon, Neptune factors increase sensitivity generally.
