My own emotions, however, are so confusing I simply don't know what to do with them. I laugh or smile when I'm upset or stressed, don't express affection well at all, and take ages to feel comfortable enough with a person to tell them that I love them.

On the flip side, there are points where my emotions are so huge that I cannot control them and the burst out of me for no apparent reason whatsoever.

For example: a half a year back my mom asked me if I wanted to go out for coffee with her. I felt sort of bad telling her no because I had already went out earlier that day, but I did and went back to messing around on the computer. Suddenly though I just felt overwhelmed with sadness, and when I tried to go and talk to my mom about it (it was horribly frightening) I burst out into tears. This went on for twenty minutes and ended up with me unable to support myself, in throes of tears and laughter on my living room floor for no apparent reason.

Emotional lability could come from Mercury conjunct Saturn in Pisces, trine Jupiter Scorpio, too. (Although I can't tell what the orbs are.)

Basically you have a lot of psychic heavy stuff going on, and with it in your 11th house, it demands expression.

It seems to be that it would be tough feeling like that with your moon on the rather volatile Cap-Aqua Cusp.

As you develop along your nodal axis, from the Taurus-Gemini Cusp to the Scorpio-Sag Cusp, you will get better at expressing yourself more to your liking.

Your chart gives me the impression that you are a VERY, VERY intelligent person. Emotional intelligence is just one more thing to develop.

I think the fact that you are overanalysing is an air-sign thing.

It's all good. JUST do what you feel like doing.
There is nothing 'wrong' with you.

Third decan is between the tenth and ninteenth, right? In which case I'd actually be in the second seeing as my birthday is the eight--close to the cusp though, if that matters at all.

Orbs...that's something I'll have to go look up. I've been reading a bit and have seen them being mentioned, but haven't actually gotten around to figuring out what they mean or are calculated or anything.

I'd agree with being heavy on psychic stuff. I have a feeling that if I could somehow figure out how to connect to that part of myself it would be amazing. Alas, all I've found so far is lucid dreaming, and that's not quite what I'm looking for, I don't think.

Ah, thank you for responding, though! Everything here is so intriguing, I keep coming back even though I should probably get off the computer before my brain goes buggy...sigh.

I mean - I'm sure we've all had nervous breakdowns before.
I get the feeling you think you are weird.. but we all cope with things in different ways.
It is not weird.

I can very much relate to everything you said except for the emotional outburst. My moon is in cap too and in the exact same degree as you!
I find myself not being able to handle my emotions as long as I can't explain them. Ii's kind of weird but sometimes I truly feel like I can only experience my emotions once I have understood why I felt that way. If I don't then I sort of repress them or at least feel awkward about them. But even when I finally can explain what it is that I feel and why I feel like that I have a hard time expressing them.

Then to add to the tone of 'restraint', you have a Piscean Merucry conjunct a Piscean Saturn.. both signs in their detriment here. You exude control in your intellect but this also lacks boundaries, any kind of 'solidification'. Your mind and ideas come and go like the tides. They seem like pillars of strength but they can dissolve into something else just as strongly and rapidly. Again, a fascinating chart.

Extremely interesting point there, especially with the uranus conjunction, which I definitely connect with.

That's one fascinating chart you've got there. We also have pretty intense north node synastry together as well - I rarely feel inclined to interpret charts here but I'm thinking with your moon in an already "dispassionate" Capricorn, conjunct Uranus, you swing between emotions more often than you like to admit. With your stellium in Aquarius, you naturally feel inclined to step back from your skin and analyze your emotions as if they were something outside of yourself (the Uranian flavor of your moon intensifies this), but the conjunction to dreamy, emotional Neptune gives you major intuitive prowess. Not only do you have a rich emotional life, but you absorb other peoples feelings to an extreme degree, and THAT is probably the catalyst to releasing your own emotions at random (Uranus).

Your chart ruler Venus is also conjunct Saturn as well..

I feel like you're hitting the nail on the head right now, and I'm feeling much better now that I have explanations for /why/ I get like this. It'd make sense that empathizing with people would be what eventually drives me to forcibly emote. When I was younger I was more prone to this too; my mom would sing me sad songs and I would burst into tears because I simply couldn't handle the emotional weight of them.

Oh boy does this SOOO relate to me. I'm not an Air Sun or Asc. I'm actually a Water Sun and I'm terrible with my emotions. I try my hardest to step back from things and I analyze the crap out of something. In fact I hate that I can't control how I feel.

I hear ya. I was born when the Moon was in Capricorn.

Moon conjunct Uranus-Neptune shows your internal complexity, that your essential mode of expression (Capricorn) in subjective, feeling things is to order it. It can be like working emotionally in left brain mode.

With Uranus and Neptune so close to the Moon, however, there are two distinct energies of a soul-growth nature coming into play here. Uranus with the Moon allows for your great insight into others' psychology. Neptune increases your own sensitivity and feeling sensibilities at the cerebral level (imagination, empathy) so that you cannot 'keep it all under wraps.'

Moon sextile Pluto shows that there is great intensity to what goes on inside you and it must be expressed. I'd say it is very important that you have some kind of creative outlet. Even drama might be good for you. Yes, I know it might seem like 'faking' emotion, but consider it play therapy.

You will do better and better with time. You will be a silver haired fox, a youthful senior who learns more and more how to relax and appreciate yourself and others as you age gracefully.

See if you can play a 'trick' on yourself in handling your own emotions: ask yourself "What would I do/say if this was happening to someone else?" Consider it in as detached a manner as you can and take your own advice!

I have had the laughing/crying thing before when I was younger. I also find it very difficult to express emotion. Now I try to control my emotions so that noone will see them, I have began crying for no apparent reason, if i am in public i just keep a straight face and noone will notice. I also tend to absorb other peoples emotions, even to the point of feeling nauseous or dizzy.

Cap Moon here. I can relate to this. For me my emotions are often confusing and I try to analyze what it is that I'm feeling, but my head and my heart don't communicate very well. People tend to think I'm cold and reserved, at least until they get to know me. But it's not about being emotionally numb. It's more like I have so many different emotions at the same time that I can't sort them out, and therefor not express them well or even at all. I laugh and joke when I have to say sad goodbyes, it's just too much. And sometimes I have such strong emotions that I'm scared I will explode if I let some of it out.. like lifting a lid and I will express too much instead. I don't know, I feel awkward.

Actually I'd say second decan based on me/my life experience - I grew up with two aquarius best friends and one was first, i was second, and the last was third and i was definitely the one who would laugh at weird times, the third as well but not nearly as much as me i'd say.

my best friend's cat died and her mom broke it to me and another friend of ours (libra) and i starting weirdly giggling because i was so sad and loved that cat so much that i just couldn't figure out what to do or how to get my emotions out and my libra friend gave me SUCH a glare. Then my best (first aquraius decan) friend's mom went: all people react different ways and sometimes react in strange ways when they're unsure to to respond. i don't think the libra friend bought it but i loved the mom for understanding me.

I myself have a Cancer moon. I also have three other water placements and am an air Sun/Mercury.

With Cap moons, I just feel like I annoy them and they find my emotions and expressiveness inconvenient and uncomfortable. It makes it hard for me to get along with them. I am expressive and I hate feeling pressured into burying that. Yes, sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut/to keep things to yourself, but to not be allowed to express any feelings at all, ever, is just too much for me. I can't live that way. That's how I tend to feel around Cap moons: pressured to keep my feelings to myself and not show any flicker of expressiveness unless I'm like talking about something like the weather or some other boring thing.

I tend to feel the same way with Cap Venus and with earth Mercury (though less so with Taurus).
