i know 3 people with capricorn moons. my father, my friends child's father and a friend (female).both of these men are very paternal and find their role and purpose in being a father. nothing much else matters to these people and they don't have many/any goals outside of family and fatherhood. the woman that i know with this is the least maternal woman i know. she is almost thirty and thought that a baby ate real food straight out of the womb! she is very mechanical when it comes to being nurturing. there are other factors in these people's charts that would expound in this trait. any cappy moons out there who care to share their experience? or do you know any cappy moons?

I'm a woman with cap moon and I can detach from feeling but I love children, have one and wish I could have more but time is running out. Children have sought me out over the course of my life and I have had some of the most profound experiences with them, so profound that as I remember them they seem unreal. I'd rather spend time with kids than I would most adults.My experiences with men with cap moon have been both treacherous and beautiful, I do believe that they show great devotion to their children. I think they can be devoted and hands-off at the same time. Financially, they will work their *sses off. IP: Logged |

I have moon in cappy and i love and adore children and feel often very emotional around them (moon in 5th house). But i have never had strong need to become mother myself. If there has been times when i have been more wanting to have a child or when i have been thinking about it more, i feel that it has been partly because of pressure from the outside - that this is what me as a woman is expected to want.IP: Logged |

for women with capricorn moon, do you find that your maternal instinct is a duty or role more than a naturally occurring feeling?IP: Logged |

Electricmind- it's both. My 12th house is cancer, that moon is in the 6th and I don't think I can separate the two inclinations from each other. I will say that until I was about 23, right before I had my own at 25, I absolutely detested children. Quite a turn around for me but I get softer with age. The sense of duty itself, emotional duty and work, that I feel toward friends and family in general is burdensome. Uranus sq. that moon from libra, but I could not deny my responsibilities (trine mars, saturn and pluto). IP: Logged |

I have a capricorn moon and I've never really liked children, or had a great desire to become a mother.
I don't really get why most people drool over babies or kids, they really do nothing for me.
I think what scares me the most is the fact that I'd have someone depending on me, and I don't think I'd like that much :/ . I like my independance way too much to give it up.
I'm not saying that I will never have children, but it's definitely not something I'm thinking about nowadays. Maybe that will change a few years from now (I'm 27)...oh and I'm a cancer sun, go figure...IP: Logged |

I have a Capricorn Moon with a Cancer Sun and I honestly believe that it's my purpose to have a child. He will be a boy and I have seen him in my dreams. When I think about him, my heart sometimes can't take the overflow of emotions because of how much I am going to love this person, and how much I already do.Another words, I feel it is Gods will and divine plan for me to have a child, and nothing brings me more joy than the thought of raising someone; someone who is from me.

just as i suspected!the conjunction of your sun/moon opposition to your MC/IC axis explains it all. your word choice gave it away "purpose", "god's will" (the jupiter/9th house influence i assumed), "divine plan"... your explanation was quite the opposite of Lehia2's who also has a sun/moon opposition in cancer and capricorn.

Electric - My Moon is in Capricorn. I put a lot of care and affection into my job and my studies, because I like contributing to others and to society through my work. Being able to help in some way and contribute in some way (whether practical or intellectual) really means the world to me on an emotional level.If I felt that I was "useless" or had no genuine contribution to others - I would feel there is no point to my existence on this planet and I honestly wouldn't want to continue existing. This is how ^ I see Cap Moon playing out in my life. What I derive most enjoyment from is working for others in whichever way. My Neptune is conjunct Mars, also in Cap - so that's probably why the work is always directed at others and not so much for personal achievement or status. But - about being a parent -- Maybe this is because of my Cancer AC - I can gush all over my puppy - He's like my child basically. (I am 24 and don't have kids yet). I love him with all my heart and give him so many bear hugs every day  :edit: -- I've just read some of the other replies. Well personally - I absolutely love children. I often end up baby sitting my nephews and younger cousins and I really enjoy spending time with them. I am very calm with children and extremely patient - more patient than I am in any other area or circumstance. I can answer the same "why" question 10 times just as calmly. I find kids often listen to me and like me back. That being said I don't have a strong desire to have a family. If it so happens that this will be a part of my life - I think I would be grateful for it. If it does not - I am happy being single and not having kids. quote:

No - maternal instinct is a physical/biological thing. I don't see it as a duty. Maternal love is love - Love is never a duty.
The duty comes in when it comes to practical, every day matters - of actually rearing a healthy and happy child. Every parent has this duty both morally and legally.
PS. My Sun is Aries - 11th house, Moon - 7th house.

My friend has her moon in Cap. Well I don't want to say she's bad, but I see what you mean but mechanical, I think she could be more nurturing. And even though she says her daughter is her number one priority, but I don't see it, don't want to judge but she has a large need to be accepted socially and to be in a relationship and being a single mother that's not a good combo, especially since she doesn't exactly pick the best guys and lets them push her around :\------------------

Haha, OK.
Capricorn Moon.
I don't put too much emphasis on children being the best little beings on the planet like I see most people doing, to me it's unrealistic. I think people see children that way because it's a way for them to tap into their own playful curious loving nature vs. actually seeing the child as they *are*.So I see kids for who they are, I don't talk down to them, I tell it to them straight how things are, etc., in the real world. I basically see them as any other person with faults as well as admirable qualities. That being said, of course there are children I don't like, just as there are adults that I don't care for. But number one is I treat them with *respect* and listen to everything they have to say and don't cast them aside, I am *there* with them. A lot of adults don't do this because they have their own preconceived thinking of what they should be doing, what their minds can handle, etc.. I personally can't handle that. I guess I'm just real with them..which does sound like Capricorn. I have one child, don't plan on having more, there are too many things I still want to do with my life before I die. But she makes me laugh every day so she's OK in my book. I never thought I'd ever be a mother, but I'm super happy to be hers, I definitely like her more than any other child I've met, and when you're a parent LIKE is much different than LOVE, I've heard from parents who don't like their kids @ all. I was really blessed with her. But I'm not gonna kid myself, this is definitely a relationship I have to keep working on, and of course continually re-evaluating my role as a parent, and learning to let her go a little bit more every day. I love how independent she's grown, but at the same time it breaks my heart. That's what I think they do. Come into your life and screw everything up as you fall madly in love with them, sleepless nights, constant demands, then they grow up, leave, and break your heart. I've cried already of how much I miss her (the baby version). It's incredibly painful. It's a new loss every single day. And a new adventure. I love being a mother to my daughter and we have the best time. But to ask me if I want to be the mother to 10 million children, the answer is a definite 'No'. I like that we are both only children, and the quirks that go along with that. We acknowledge each other's independence and also our need to create & dream. I know one other Capricorn Moon parent, and he's incredibly devoted, esp. considering the social pressure against him, as in the child is not his biologically, and is half-black, whereas he is white. Many men, especially white, would not take that on, but he did, and very responsibly. And he's very faithful to his wife. He indulges in sport, and that's pretty much it. IP: Logged |

My mom has Moon in Cap and she adores children, she has a very strong maternal instinct. Maybe it has something to do with Taurus in her 5th and asteroid Child conj Venus.IP: Logged |
