I had an exciting opportunity the other night in regards to my creative side, and I posted about it. He didn't acknowledge it, which is fine because I don't really know if he saw it or not, but today I posted a picture of it and I know that he saw it, and he didn't say anything. No good luck, no "How did it go?" or "congrats" - absolutely nothing. As much as I feel a little selfish, and I genuinely do believe that support should be unconditional, I just couldn't imagine not having someone supportive in my life. I want to build someone up, but its nice to know that someone believes in you or that they're excited for you.

I know another Cap mooner but he's a Sag (which is sort of the same as Aquarius. All the Sag/Aqua best friends I've ever met were nearly identical in behavior without trying). I posted a video of me singing and he didn't say anything about it, but I'm sure he had to have seen it. I think they absorb such displays as taking note of your personality and filing it away to later surprise you with. I know another Scorpio sun, Cap moon and she's one of my closest friends, she never comments on my videos either but weeks or months down the line she'll say something like "There's a karaoke contest down at so-and-so..." and that's when I remember she's just not upfront about support. I think people misconstrue what it means to say Capricorns don't show their feelings. It doesn't always mean THEIR personal feelings or emotions. Sometimes it means in general they simply don't show them. They are used to being focused and practical so maybe a lot of the time they try not to pay attention to such things? I don't know. I'm a Taurus moon and it's aspecting Pluto, so....

You also have to look at it this way - does he hate you? No, probably not. Then why would he have any reason not to support you? He wouldn't. Conclusion: he's just a dude and doesn't realize you need or wanted his attention specifically. However I noticed once you tell Caps or Cap moons what it is they did "wrong" or what you need, they certainly remember and actually do try to accommodate that.

Thank you! This is actually extremely insightful, I really appreciate it.

One last question - does this sense of aloofness cause a standard? So I know that they like to be supported, but is there such a thing as freaking a cap out by being there for him? Or being excited for him? When I went on vacation he didn't wish me a safe flight, but afterwards he started a conversation asking me how it was, and was genuinely interested. He's going on vacation soon and I want to wish him a safe flight, or anything along those lines, but I keep telling myself that if someone doesn't usually do that when others do it to them it might freak them out.

The girl he dated after me was like the boss of him

We haven't spoken for a week or so, so I am nervous. Its one of those ruts that seems to be so common with him, and I understand it because I need my space as well, but I don't want to push with the whole "Hey I know you're going away have a safe trip!" if he doesn't care.

I mean...don't go all "bunny boiler" on him, but in general I find Capricorns are pretty accepting of people as long as your yourself. They get possessive easily too and Capricorn moons tend to be (but no way ALL of them are) insecure and hide this. So be genuine in your compliments, and be there for him when he asks. Give him space when he's upset because when they get moody they get VERY moody. They don't like to express themselves when in that state because it embarrasses them afterwards.

If you want him to have a safe trip, tell him! They're not going to respond with anything like "Aww thanks" or anything OPEN you know what I mean? But it doesn't mean they don't care or don't appreciate it. They DO have hearts, lol.

Capricorns want nothing more to see others succeed, especially loved ones.
If no one else is there to support you, a Capricorn will definitely be there and be there on time, too.

Sometimes that makes me really nervous. Its always so hard to tell if people appreciate my humor.

I often wondered if Capricorn moon depletes one of energy because the ones I know are not the "enthuisiastic" types: even when they have Sun in fire or Mars there.

My Dad had Cancer/Cap Moon and I can't say that his support was forthcoming. But once, I remember doing very well in my end of year exams and he called me ,sporadically, to say "well done".

My Mom(Taurus Moon) said that that was his way of showing how proud he is of me;and Taurus Moon's ,btw ,seem to have a way of understanding the Cap Moon temperement: As if they accept them "as is" etc.

Anywho, I guess what I am getting at is that Cap Moons are not the type to heap attention and praise(nor support for that matter). For them, once emotive support is guven once, that should be enough; as Saturn is stingy with both emotions and affection.

I myself can't take a relationship that requires me to hang on to what was said before and am very demanding of affection. So, if it is not forthcoming in this very moment, right now, instantaneously etc. I take it to mean that you are devoid of it. Period.

My Cancer Moon just doesn't take indifference very well.......
