I am a Cancer Moon, as I said. The opposite Moon is Capricorn. Hence, there is a resonance between these two Moons. The resonance is opposite, though. By that, I mean that the Cancer Moon and the Capricorn will have an opposing perceptual outlook.In this case, the Cancer Moon responds more instinctively from the heart. The Capricorn Moon responds more instinctively from the head. Opposite Moons appreciate each other. They offer a new and enlightening perspective to each other. In my opinion, opposite Moons would not be good for marriage because, in time, I think the differences would lead to frustration and pain, not understanding. That is my opinion and others will differ.

Let's talk about the nature of the Capricorn Moon, a bit. It is a "head over heart" Moon. It will approach situations from a somewhat detached/objective perspective. If it were on a diving board, it would assess the body of water below. It would assess it's distance from him. It would assess the pros and cons of diving or getting off. It would not just jump. The Cancer Moon, for purposes of our discussion, would just jump.

The Capricorn Moon is like any Capricorn sign, in that it is a master of planning. It is adept in climbing the ladder of success, one rung at a time. It has a serious outlook on life. Most especially, it has old fashioned values and morals, which do not change with superficial times. They endure.

The most important thing to remember about a Capricorn Moon( and any significant Capricorn placement) is that it values quality, above all else. You must be a person of quality in order to be a part of his life. He hates anything cheap, from disloyalty to a loose reputation. He holds himself to very high standards and expects you to do the same. Capricorn is the sign of eating your vegetables before your dessert, something most of us need help in doing. Hence, a Capricorn Moon can help you to be the best YOU can be because he won't settle for less.

But as you point out, this is a difficult placement for the Moon. They're terribly frightened of showing their feelings and being vulnerable. And that's really tough for me being in relationship with one. They're just as vulnerable deep down, but unlike Cancer who isn't able to hide their feelings very well, the Cap Moon can and does.

It may have to do with my Capricorn Moon being conjunct 0'00 exact. Reality sits well with me. I would like to meet another Capricorn Moon conjunct Saturn 0'00 to see a little bit of myself from the outside but I don't bet on it. Closest I had was a girl I dated who is also a Scorpio Sun, Capricorn Moon with Saturn at about 2-3 degrees conjunct or so.

My comforts, though I am an indulgent Taurus Asc Jupiter 1st houser, are simple, plenty, but very simple as I don't like to waste my resources. I know I have more money than my peers. I don't earn the most but I save the most. My birthday present to myself at age 18 was opening a stock trading account.

In 30 years when I am where I envision I'll attribute the success largely to my Capricorn Moon, of course all personality facets help, but damn do I love the Cappy Moon.

But I have to say I relate just as much to my Moon placement in Capricorn as I do to my Moon sextile Mercury aspect (which is the closest aspect in my chart). I'm very communicative of my thoughts and feelings - similar to Gemini Moon. And I get along really well with Gemini Mooners.

I've seen and read about people who have a Capricorn Moon forming hard aspects to Mars or Saturn (and I imagine Pluto would be even worse!)... These people are actually pretty different to me emotionally. They seem more serious and somber. I'm pretty "easy going" in comparison.

The Saturn placement is relevant as well. My Saturn is in the most optimistic sign - Sagittarius. My ex had a Capricorn Moon with Scorpio Saturn, and again - he was much more serious and had a depressive streak.

The downside of a Cappy moon, I experienced, was with An Aqua lady with that moon. She was big into Mary Kay and the big catch with her was you had to sign up as a consultant for her and if you didn't she'd become ruthless and use the worst guilt trips. She would severely put on the pressure. It was mandatory with a friendship with her. If one wasn't a consultant then the person was referred to as crap. I read about the shallowness and there is always a catch with them. I did experience all with her to be conditional.

I seem drawn to Cap moons. My most favorite comic in the world is Rick Mercer. Pisces rising, Libra Sun with Moon and Mars in Capricorn. I watch his show every week. Although I don't think he is vulnerable showing his feelings. He is actually good with that. He is gay. He loves to poke fun at the Canadian govt and the ministers. A lot of satire.

You make a wonderful point of the modification of the Moon sign.

I will however logically do anything in my power to help you solve a problem should you ask me.

I need emotional balance to function. No up and downs!

Yea, Charlie, we are emotional lol

Whenever I have to make a decision, I determine the best course of action by analyzing the problem at hand. This can make relationships very difficult because allowing myself to be vulnerable absolutely terrifies me. On a positive note, I can easily leave a relationship when I spot the first red flag simply because it is the most logical course of action.

How are you, my Friend?

I think Capricorn is the least subjective of the earth signs. The Caps that have decided they love me, have given me the freedom to tell them anything without fear of judgement. They may not be emotionally expressive, but I have been able to trust them with my emotions and secrets. This is huge for me since my emotions run so deep. When I share them I need to know the other person will be responsible with them. I have always needed trust more than reciprocation. If I tell you something I feel, I am not comforted by you saying you feel the same way, or even that you understand. What I want to know is, are you going to stick it out while I process my **** . Can you handle a little crazy? most Caps don't go looking for crazy, but if they love you and find out that you are, lol, they don't bail. they're much better than water signs in that respect.

Interesting. What in your chart allows you to read them so well?

When I open up to Caps, there's some kind of magic, lol. They open up back, but in subtle ways, and I find their ways so endearing. Their style of expression inspires loving, nurturing, and protective feelings in me. And I try to be more perceptive and sensitive to them. Somehow their reserve actually makes me a better Cancer, if you define Cancer as understanding emotion.

I took out the word "transparent" in my above quote, because it sounded just a bit condescending to me and that's not what I meant at all.

eta:

I also have a Taurus Moon, but I don't feel it helps me to understand a Cap. I think it just makes us similar in some ways...

But maybe a Cap Moon could answer my Taurus Moon relationship needs in ways others have been unable, even Cap Sun. I don't know...

Thanks, Venus! I'm learning something here. No, I understood what you meant by "transparent." Sounds like Cap Moons trust you. I have a Moon-Venus conjunction in Cancer, but my experience with Cap Moon is very different. Why? I think the difference is an earth Moon vs. a water Moon. Two moons in the same element are so sympatico, easily tune into each other without effort, and understand each other instinctually, even telepathically, in my experience anyway. In a relationship, I love having moons in the same element. My hypothesis is that your Moon needs are met, and so your Cancerian sensitivity and empathy can function freely.

But, also relevant is his Cap Moon had a natal Saturn square in Libra to his Moon and his Saturn and Uranus were in hard aspect to my Moon-Venus. I took his defensiveness and self-protection personally. Now, if I would have been more like you, it may have had a happier outcome. lol

Thanks again for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

For some reason a Scorpio moon feels safe with a Cap moon. Unlike other earth moons, you don't feel quite as judged when you are having the inevitable emotional outburst. They never succumb to your outburst, and are able to rise above and offer support and comfort in a quiet, gentle, understanding way. The other earth moons would just look at you like, "what's the issue?"

Great post, M!
