By having the Moon in Capricorn, you are denying the true nature of the planet.

It baffles me that young astrologers who practice modern astrology to say "ooooh, I would love to have a Mars in Taurus or Sun in Aquarius". You have to realise they are In detriment for a reason, just like Capricorn Moon. The Moon is changeable, instinctual, has few boundaries, it operates best in cancer. The Sun shines and it is the ego in modern astrology, it is to shine but it is no good in the dead of winter (Aquarius), it can't shine behind the clouds furtherest from Earth, it can't make life grow, reproduce. Mars is fast and direct and you are asking a force to cut through hard rock -Taurus.

You might say its great for human endeavours, keeping control of situations. Great if you are the Queen of England. You have your emotions under control. Well, what happens if that assassin is coming after you and the bodyguards are all dead?

To me Domicile, detriment etc, are all just a matter of opinion. Obviously it goes by what is home to the sign and what is most comfortable, accepted, but that doesn't mean they are the whole truth.

Everyone has different views on what is good and bad, those definitions most probably go by standards of society or what is considered to be positive/negative & good/bad, what is negative about having self control & disciple where others don't, i see it it as a positive.

and imo aspects are of most importance after the planet, house, sign, the aspects just configured how they all relate to eachother and combine..

My favorite placements are moon in scorpio and Mercury in pisces.

I like the characteristics of these placements.

Well there was this dude that was around in the 1st/2nd century called Ptolemy. Guess what? He just happened to be an astrologer and he invented this table called Table of Essential Dignities. Here it is:
http://planetwaves.net/news/table-of-essential-dignities/

It was only used for about 1600 years. It's partly used today but I guess it's just crap today according to some of you.

Eta - your entitled to favourites as it suits you the best but objectively and with the total sum of humans, a detriment planet does not work best with all of them.

How do you demonstrate love if you do hide your emotions?

Totally. I fight my demons all the time. On the outside, I'm very "put together". On the inside I'm the opposite and often feel I have no value and am unworthy of love.

It's like I have this constant battle between my head (the side of me that is amazing) and my heart (the side that feels unworthy).

Anyway, I use my emotion to spur me to action, that's what my Cappy Moon is all about. 8) <--- Nerd smile

ETA: After the "fighting demons" post, yeah I'm about to have a hard Pluto/Moon aspect in synastry (I'm the Moon) and I'm already having friggin dreams of me being a neglected infant, crawling out into the cold weather and curling up alone under an overturned wooden boat, forgotten and accepting of that loneliness.

Do you think your feelings of unworthyness would be from not working enough/holding up enough responsiblity?

No. Detrimental and fall positions are challenges unto themselves and as such...never cease to run.

Such a mock whiner you are.

A lot of people assume a Capricorn Moon isn't emotional .. we are deeply emotional, but we don't like to show it

---

Really? Because I don't feel like I'm so deeply emotional.. O_O

And I almost always show whatever I feel. My feelings are extra earthy though - not at all like water Moons.. so not 'deep' in that sense.

The most intense emotion I feel is that feeling when a project is due - and you're cramming - and you're not sure that it's good enough and then you scrap half of it and you re-write the damn thing and then you panic thinking you won't be able to hand it on time and..

Yeah ^ Honestly it does not get more intense than that. That ^ is more intense than sex for me lol

It's selfish not to let someone see that

Well....... Some people get me and some don't. I trust my intuition to know the difference.
A lot of people with Scorpio placements get me. so I do open up to them and I let them see everything.
It is not just Scorpio-influence though. There are others that I feel I can connect with!

But.. I have a huge problem with people I see as immature. In my daily life I could never open up to most of the Taurus Mooners I've known. The exception is my closest friend who is a Pisces and has a lot of water in her chart, quite apart from the Taurus Moon.
Basically, I have issues with them. I honestly don't feel like they could ever in a million years understand me.. and generally I find them childish. I would feel like a 70 year old trying to explain his/her problems to a 5 yr old.
It just feels completely out of sync.

On LL neither you nor Aqua Guy come across as these immature Taurus Mooners I have encountered. But you guys also have the opposition to Pluto which might give your Moon a Scorpio vibe.

Agreed!

While it still has the characterisitcs of the sign... it's definitely modified by aspects.

I like 'em Earth Moons.
Some of them are toooo simple though, like no emotional "intelligence" whatsoever, but they just seem so grounded and stable and mmmm! I totally need to find an Earth Moon buddy to chill with. Preferably an Earth Moon in a Fire house so that they're not too practical or overly-realistic, ha.

Note: I know, I know, they're not always that stable or grounded but that's the kinda vibe they give off to me, in most cases.

Hey Msprism

How are you doing?

On topic, the moon is in domicile in cancer and is in detriment in Capricorn. Therefore highlighting the differences in emotional temperaments and responses. Cancer moons are sensitive, expressive and very intuitive whereas cappy moons are emotionally distant and they simply abhors emotional outburst because they do not know how to handle them. Not knowing HOW to handle emotions is a flaw, being too sensitive and emotionally susceptible all the time is a flaw too. Nevertheless, cappy moons are as emotional and sensitive and hopelessly wants to be taken care of just like the cancer moon. So in the ways these moons differ, one secretly wants what the other can easily offer. The stress is put on the word 'easy', that is why the moon is most happy when in domicile.

But I'm not saying they are immature to belittle them.
What I mean is.. they have not had their heart truly broken, they have not had someone close to them die, they have not been in a situation where they couldn't have their cake and eat it to - so they still believe that they can always get what they want.
