This thread is so helpful and informative. I wish people other signs can start their own thread of sun and moon positions.

My first son is a Sag who is so obviously Capricorn-like, I was baffled when he was young, because I only followed sun signs back then.

He is the dutiful, pensive Cap moon. If I say, "The playroom's a mess, kids, please clean it" the oldest cleans it while the younger ones goof off. He's also my child prodigy, the one other parents notice for his huge vocabulary and perfect manners.

But the thing with him is, he thinks he is above the rules. He's kind of got a superiority complex which drives everyone bonkers.

I actually gave up trying to discipline him when he was younger, because I realized there is no point. He's going to do what he's going to do, NO. MATTER. WHAT. Fortunately, he usually does the *right* thing. But if he doesn't want to, no use trying to force him. He won't do it.

My second Cap moon...well he's usually all giggles. He actually is also very well-behaved, especially in public, and he also gets a lot of compliments for his sweetness.

But if you make him angry, he will turn on you faster than light. He actually gets much angrier than his older brother. Those two get along great and it's a good thing because their fights would be epic.

That's what I know about Cap moons, but they are only 12 and 7.

The main difference I see between sun and moon in my family is in overall temperament. While my sons have a pensive air about them, I was really like Saturn personified. I was always concentrating, I would sulk and brood up a storm that lasted for days if I fouled something up, I was just a very serious kid.

I can usually tell when I am talking to a fellow Cap sun, if we are in person. I know because I will just blurt out, "You're a Capricorn, right?" And I've never gotten a "No" to that question.

But I can't pick out Cap moons...maybe because I never trained myself to do so, and also because I'm learning they are not the kind of people I'd feel comfortable asking, anyway. I guess that will be my tip-off.

My teenage sister is a Cap moon with a Leo sun, mercury, and venus and with all that Leo she is definitely not someone you would call reserved or timid, but she is a huge perfectionist when it comes to her grades, her appearance, her weight, etc. and she won’t admit when something is too difficult because she wants to seem like she can measure up in any situation. We have a close relationship so we talk to each other about personal things we’re going through, but I do worry about how she’s going to deal with all the stress and adjustments of college and how her perfectionism will play out once she’s on her own and not getting the constant support and recognitions she’s getting now in high school…

Not everyone is qualified to get 'in.' So just because a Cap Moon may not be confiding to one person, does not mean that they are not confiding in anyone.

My second son's a Libra, born near the Scorpio cusp.

The positive side of Capricorn is their determination to succeed at whatever they set their minds to, the patience to make it happen, and their wisdom about what is workable and what is not. This is my favorite part about being a Capricorn. I love to do well on the job, and have a level-headed attitude that keeps my impulses in check.

Most Capricorn influenced people, even those who had a crazy youth, eventually get to this point… Where they appreciate the strength that comes with self control, and the peace of mind that comes from upholding your responsibilities….

The Caps who were too rigid when they are young, seem to get more relaxed as they get older…. They’re still responsible and all that, but it’s like once they’ve laid down their foundation in life, they experience a reemergence of the playful, childlike spirit they had a hard time connecting with as children… They feel more free to have fun, and become more self-confident.

Agree with all of this.

That was clear.

Well now that you added how you're concerned for your sister I can see how you're projecting here onto other Cap Moons.
THANKS for clarifying.
Leos are pretty strong she should do fine, what makes you think a Leo won't be getting their due, somewhere, somehow? They usually manage pretty well in that respect. It depends on how she was mothered too (or what she took away from the experience), with that Moon in detriment and all - since that's the thing you're focusing on, you should be focusing on her and her mom.

Lol yeah sorry guys I wasn't trying to imply anything negative about Cap moons as a generalization, just comparing and contrasting the suns and moons... I think all signs obviously have strengths and weaknesses and I actually really respect the way Cap moons (the ones I know) can keep a rational head in stressful situations and can see things objectively while other people are just reacting emotionally. I think cap suns wear their struggles more visibly if anything. I'm not trying to project my perception of my sister onto all Cap moons, just asking for other's opinions and experiences...

And as for my sister I have complete faith in her and have no doubt she'll be just fine in whatever she chooses to do, she's never had any problems getting all the support and attention she wants lol. So even if I was "projecting" my opinions about her, I just want to clarify I don't think her having a Cap moon means her life is going to turn into a downward spiral or anything drastic like that, I just know she has a lot invested in her outer appearance and reputation, and worry she will be overly shaken if there's something she doesn't do well in or when things don't go exactly according to plan (which is pretty much inevitable at some point in college/after high school). But again, I respect her strength and have no doubt she'll be fine, I'm just observing the way she approaches things on an emotional level... Also as for our mom, our family is pretty disfunctional and neither of us have ever really learned anything healthy from the way we were raised lol but that's a whole different topic.

FireMoon,it is ok - you can look at your sister and spot some patterns,but when you turn to other cap moons,it is very important not to read into,and give them attributes that you preconceived Research,research,research,no prejudices

You'll notice that my previous post was focusing only on a bit of your statement,but it is also glaring that you love your sis and wish her the best

And thanks VenusDiSirius, no prejudices I promise!

Also btw I loved your example about parents just knowing you would never swing from the family chandelier (even if you have), that is so perfect lol
