It could extend beyond that and give an inability to handle emotions, period, or repressing emotions, or finding them distasteful in some way, both in themselves and in others.

However, as long as someone is being emotionally honest, at least with me, I am far more inclined to want to listen to them and share a conversation or moment with them. As Odette pointed out, emotional speakers tend to garner far more listeners and support than placid speakers. I've been told i'm a good speaker, although I tend to shy away public speaking. However, if I am passionate about something it will show in my voice, expression and choice of words.

I myself have a Gemini moon which traditionally is considered a poor and difficult placement for the moon. However, I might have some problems being emotionally open with my more private feelings, I also Venus in Scorpio, I tend to be emotionally honest and am not afraid of expressing it.

Pretty often I repress and hide my feelings/emotions, especially if there's a risk of being hurt. I wouldn't be the first to confess love. I hate being out of control. When I get tricked, I'm angry with myself cause "I should've known better". I don't wanna anyone see or hear me crying, it feels like being naked. My Cap Sun doesn't help.

Are you.. me?

Moon opp Saturn, although the orb is wide. I can still relate.

I pretty much don't express my emotions/feelings. And when I do they come out fiercely and usually in a negative, dramatic, explosive way (hello Moon sq Mars/Pluto). I repress, repress, repress. At times the gates open (when in a family setting especially, otherwise in public I can behave) and it's like an effin' flood of hate/rage/pain. Yea, not pretty.

But it's a learning process.

I never thought it was a bad thing, but paired with the wrong sign (natally, such as Scorpio) and I think Capricorn can become a pressure cooker.

I have Moon (Taurus) trine Saturn (Capricorn), and I find myself ignoring my feelings a lot. It may not be attributed to JUST that, however at the moment I posed this question it was the sign I was analyzing.

I can see what you are getting at with the pairing with a difficult sign. I don't think there is any necessarily wrong way to express yourself. Those people who express anger and depression mainly are struggling very much with serious issues, and most of the time they don't have an outlet or anyone to talk to. I have great admiration for people who counsel others with serious depression or talk people down from suicide.

Focusing back on the topic of a "more difficult" pairing. I think some pairing's may be more inclined to freedom of expression. Having a difficult relationship between most of my major planets, I'm pretty much square central over here, and being a Scorpio Venus IV I am intensely private about my deeper feelings. However, I am more than happy to share my general feelings about books, films, ideas, day to day discourse, ideas, philosophies, and outlook on most things. everything else. I can relate somewhat, I think about what I am feeling and what it was that made me feel that way and end up asking, whether I am justified to be feeling the way I do because of what happened, usually a very personal matter. So I live in a dichotomy sometimes, of feeling, unhappy with something but thinking that I don't really have grounds to explain why I am hurting to whomever, so I tend to just keep it to myself and if I do get it out, it comes out in my writing.

I feel that everyone struggles with emotions and feelings. At the very least at some point in their lives, there is something they struggle with, be it grief, anxiety, separation, love, anger, jealousy, the list goes on. There are no 'norms' when it comes to expression of emotion and that is what makes humans quintessentially fascinating. The scope for our emotions and feelings to help guide us and shape our lives. Whether we keep it to ourselves or try and shout it out to the world.
