I am trying to "find" my moony self. Talk about all the Cappies you know, have known, like and dislike. What they do and don't do. It can be about whatever you want. I just want to read and learn

I love them. Sometimes I wish had some cap in me to be honest, so I can be a little icy and tough lol...I am too 'sweet' and hate to hurt peoples feelings and sometimes I wish I was a little harder.
They are very resilient and strong. The older they get the younger they are.

Mixed with Sag placements, they have an awesome sense of humour, are very direct and honest. They hate spending money and usually exceptionally clever.

Hi charlie, I've talked about a friend with a Cap Moon on another thread about the things you've described in relationships.

Besides that, he treats the people he lives with like family (Cancer on the 4H cusp). They know he's always there for them when they need him. He's a hard worker and very trustworthy.

Because of our synastry, I see him as rather cynical in some ways, but he has a Saturn-Neptune conjunction also. He sees me as "naive."

He had virtually no mothering, nurturing, or encouragement from his parents. They were both alcoholics. He's extremely self-sufficient and doesn't want to be emotionally dependent on anyone.

He has a hard time articulating or expressing his needs.

He's not a romantic. I wish he were. But, I really like that he's serious when it comes to romance and relationship. He spent months and long conversations on the phone with a girlfriend who was going through a hard time.

I don't really like capricorn energy... I think my most awful friends were all cap suns. They are just.. so cold. They only care for materialistic stuff to be honest. They can talk endlessly about "stuff", and also about how they don't really give a f*** about other people. It's funny sometimes yes, because they are so characteristic and it's so easy to spot when someone is very cap-influenced. And I am supposed to be very compatible with them, they always seem like they like me to begin with... but I really seriously think that a lot of them lack some emotions.

Also, they are not so thankful if you do everything to make them happy. It's like they are some kind of black hole, never really satisfied... they only get really happy if you give them your money lol.

I just don't really like what they stand for, deep deep down. Sorry to say... (even though that capricorn is supposed to be my most dominant sign) but thank got I got a pisces moon and cancer rising...

Pros
-ambitious: they always try to challenge themselves
-dignified: wouldnt do something that is deemed morally wrong. Mature caps will never kick someone down just to kick them down or to serve egoistic purpose
-experimental: once a cap matures, he/she will think of experiences as integral to gaining anything. Hence Caps are among the kinkiest people. When a cap gets older and more relaxed, he/she can be very open minded
-caps would always respect hard work and hence many would greet a janitor or anyone who might not have social status just because they understand climbing the ladders and only the tiniest things can contribute to the greatest things
-persevere, strategic, diplomatic but doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to what they want
-reliable, responsible, persuasive

Cons
-when younger or if not evolved, so fearful of anything new that they wont try anything.
-because they are ambitious, if they do not reach their goal, they become depressed even when the goals are arbitrarily hard. They might not do anything that does not contribute to their career at all. Hence they are really ...
-boring, overly sensitive to criticism, condescending to people who are not as success-oriented
-younger caps can run over people
-woe-is-me attitude due to frustration with not reaching their goals
-gloomy, refusing to share emotions, forever wallowing over a tiny failure
-basing their self-worth on worldly success
-stingy, self critical hence critical of others

Just as an aqua sees everything he/she does is to distinguish the self, or a scorpio to explore the depth of things, a cap attributes all events in life as mountains to climb. The mountains might not be real, though!

Capricorn energy is very powerful energy. It's similar to aqua or scorpio energies in the potential of greatness.

-The first decan (Capricorn/Saturn) tends to be the most successful in business. I think they are the archetypal Capricorns, very dutiful and intelligent. They usually save their money and often bail out family members in need, because they are richer than their family members, because they work.

-The second decan (Taurus/Venus) tends to write a lot of poetry, music, philosophy. We are the lazy ones. Everyone who says, "I know a lazy Capricorn" is talking about us. If we are interested in something we are like that stubborn bull who will not budge for an eternity. They call it lazy but to us, we are *specializing* in something. We are sucking the marrow out of life and will capitalize on it later....we think....

Taurus stubborness can also work in our favor and help us to attain goals, by never quitting. We get obsessed productively sometimes.

-The third decan (Virgo/Mercury) is the most self-assured and unbending. Usually the wisest of the three Caps, they rest on unshakable beliefs or principles that no one can tear down. Even if the reason is, "Because I said so. And I'm in the position of power here," it's still something that cannot be refuted.

Third decan is hard but brittle. If they make any mistake, they despise themselves for it. So they DON'T make mistakes. They are usually right.

I have a third decan Cap friend and she is like the guardian of my sanity. She won't let me believe anything that's not true, checked, and double checked.

- All Caps are funny, if only to ourselves.

We all like corny jokes. I've never known why. Tell a stupid joke and the Caps are always choking on their food and turning red. That's the demented part coming through.

Common traits is that many love traditions (in a way I'd have thought of Taurus--one actually ranted up a storm about people who didn't "show proper enthusiasm for the Olympics" explaining it in terms of tradition and even linking it to democracy) and plenty are into history to an almost excessive degree, even when they're not academically oriented otherwise. Two of them were collectors, one even spent thousands for a blade used in a Spanish war centuries ago that probably couldn't cut butter today (it belonged in a scrap heap)...in fact, he'd probably take it more personally (and shrieked louder) had I used that antique blade to cut butter with than if I stabbed him with a modern knife.

While typically success oriented they can also be very generous to those they care for (perhaps money and security is how they understand love so that's how they show it, but can be sentimental like the one Cappie who gave about a thousand bucks to the college fund of a baby who had survived the death of the woman that the Cappie had loved though the Cappie knew he wouldn't ever be part of that child's life, and that was in addition to his contribution to funeral expenses).

Humor tends to be slapstick.

I've known a couple who felt sorry for themselves and with a persecution complex to rival or even exceed that of a Scorpio gone bad, but are more prone to pity parties rather than revenge...though one shared with me fantasies of violent and cruel revenge but to my knowledge he never lived them out. One constantly (and irrationally) gloomy Cap sun routinely accused me of conspiracies against him until I washed my hands of him. But most are pretty stoic with the ability to fully appreciate the good times, however, and also don't have the ego needed for a true persecution complex (at least not until they've earned their ego with accomplishment, in which case a little paranoia can be a good thing as Damocles would say --and see what I did there bringing up Damocles, that's something more than one Cappie friend of mine would've done).

I have encountered some caps in my life and it is always so hard to get close to them. It's like there is an invisible wall between us. I think they are usually very hard working and ambitious though. Cons are that they are very materialistic and care too much about what other people think about them.

I have both good and bad in my family. Several of them refuse to admit when they're wrong - my sister once told me that she just didn't like to. She certainly had a persecution complex - her insecurities were the reason she kept lashing out at me, and she wanted to decimate me. She can be very cruel, I'd witnessed that before she ever turned it on me, and she wished for nasty things to happen to people. She didn't earn her persecution complex, but I certainly earned mine, thanks to her, and a handful of other people.

She was also only "okay" when things were going the way she wanted them to. She fell apart like anyone else, when they weren't. I was there to support her when they did, except for when she was angry that someone stood up for me against her.

She also held together a facade, Martha Stewart style, because nobody can think anything bad about her. She stopped trying to socialize online and off, because her social anxiety ramped up when people were mean to her, and she wasn't confident enough to make friends. She has no friends offline, but is in touch with people from our childhood.

All those I know can be hard workers. Three will cut you off, if you don't do what they want you to do, or if you offend them (one uncle didn't speak to his mother for the rest of her life, after he got back from Vietnam, and she accused him of something he didn't - and wouldn't - do). I don't know how they manage it. I sometimes wish I was capable of that.

I'm a Capricorn myself, but not the typical one. My only Earth planet is my Sun. I'm a mix of Scorpio-Pisces-Aquarius-Sagittarius. When I was younger I was tougher concerning my goals and program. I was only happy when things went my way and as planned. Some things happened and my way of thinking changed. At 29 I turned into a different person and I no longer cared about career, program and stereotypes. Capricorns feel insecure when it comes to love, they need someone to make them feel safe. We are all serious when it comes to feelings and commitment and I think Capricorns statistically create good families. Saturn helps us mature fast through problems. Usually they say we are cold but it's not true, we just need time to trust someone, 'cause we don't let anybody in our lives. Earn the respect of a Capricorn you won't regret it. I also have to add that there is nothing that a Capricorn can't achieve. If it's on his mind it will happen sooner or later. We are goats climbing the mountain after all.

I think I'm destined to have many Capricorn friends (rules my 11th house) so I think I know Cappys very well. I think in astrology, they are the one sign I feel is often misinterpreted. Some things I've noticed over the years:

-Most caps I know are highly sexual. Like scorpio sexual. I would rate Caps as the 2nd most sexual sign and I don't think a lot of people realize just how much so they are.

-Caps are cold only on the outside! On the inside they're lovable little bears.

-They give the best advice hands down. If you ever want to talk about serious issues, talk to a cap. They have literally experienced all lessons the hard way, so when you talk to them, they know exactly what you're going through. I'm a pisces and this is the only sign I really want to talk to when I'm going through some difficult periods in my life. I can truly feel that they understand.

-They are the ultimate father figure. Even female caps handle their business like bosses. They work hard to provide! And they truly do this out of love.

-They are very methodical. In a way, I'm envious of this. When my cap friend was cheated on by her partner, she stayed with him, but then planned out her revenge. She cheated on him for several months and then went on to plan out her breakup, doing this all without attachment. If you ever watched Vampire Diaries, you'll understand how they are. They have the ability to "switch off" their emotions so they can execute their plans with a clear head (sidetone: I think a cap sun/ aquarius moon would make the best serial killer.)

-The one major negative I take issue to with caps is that they are major snobs! If they feel you are beneath them, they won't give you the time of day. As a pisces, I can't help but befriend all walks of life. I've had a cap friend tell me not to hang out with someone because according to them, my friend wasn't on our "level" smh. They are also brandwhores. They're the ones with designer clothes, the latest gadgets, etc.

Hope this helps

I'll add some traits of mine and you can say if that's Cappy or not.

-I never give up once I have a goal or something to do. I'll take the road from Point A through Z and back to B if needed.

-I will never let anyone in until they have proven themselves "worthy" of my trust.

-I am highly sexual, in an earthy way. I want to blend souls together.

-I die if I don't get to work hard.

-I can solve anyone's problems and gladly, and unconditionally, do so.

-I can make someone feel like the best person in the world only to later make them feel like the worst. This I am NOT proud of!

-I can wait for years to plot a revenge if someone has been bad towards me and it will be executed to perfection. Not proud of this either.

-I will protect my family to death if needed. This might be heightened by my Cancer Sun though.

-I went through hell in my younger years. Happens to many Caps, yes?

-I don't understand emotions very well but can logically and systematically explain why certain things are the way they are. I'll be detached and not very personal.

-I am extremely resilient, mentally and physically, where many others would succumb to pressure.

-I like to provide for my family and don't really like it the other way around.

My moon is in 5H. Tightest aspect is opposite Leo Saturn 11H and the square to Pluto 2H. Depositor is Sun and depositor of Sun is Saturn.

This position doesn't necessarily make for the bubbliest person in the world;Not unless there is an Asc/Moon in Leo, Sag or Gemini.

I had progressed Sun in Cap at age 1 and although I am Sag Sun nataly,a lot of my "inner growth" leaned towards Cap.

There was a lot of concern or awareness towards reputation/good standing and keeping ones status elevated.

I though that I had Cap Asc/Moon in Cap-because I was such a serious Sagittarius person:Concerned with getting recognition and status for myself etc.

I wouldn't say that this position makes one materialistic minded per se.

But one does tend to appreciate that money makes life easier and thus may lean towards thinking along those lines.

But Caps are not the type to "indulge" in money as Taurus does. Rather they look at what money can provide them relative to life conditions, inner circles and the legacy of their name.

What Cap is really after is STATUS.They want to be known as the BEST and their name to conjure up feelings of pride in others.

When we speak of reputation and the "good name" of the family; traditional values and moral uprightness. We speak of Caprciron.

Money just helps to elevate their status even more. Gives them a kind of "don't touch but you can look" appeal -which they just love.

Caps are mounted in the "here and now" and that tends to make them depressed; especially when the here and now is not desirable.

The "iciness" that people speak of,comes from being socially awkward and feeling serious in otherwise frivolous situations: Thus emphasizing to the Cap that they don't fit in etc.

They have an above all need to organize and "better" their surroundings.An acute awareness of quality(which they share with Virgo/Taurus) and a tendency to listen too much to what people think/ "authority" figures and set social norms.

My Sun has progressed to Aqua and I have felt the ease-as the energy lifts off a little bit.

All I can say is that while it was in Cap,it was strongly taciturn and sober at times. i was depressed a lot in childhood and had very serious and sometimes dark thoughts.

I’m a Cap. I think revenge is stupid and unnecessary. Karma takes care of that. The best form of revenge is success. I believe in standing up for yourself when you need to, but going out of your way to get back at someone out of spite… Not a fan.

Not all Caps are the same. There are those snobby, cold hearted, user, social climber types. Just about everybody knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone, like this. Every sign has it’s A-holes.

Then there are those loyal, dedicated, friend-till-the-end, type Caps who are determined and motivated to do good in their lives. These ones are adorable. I admire other Caps with this kind of integrity.

Most Caps have their act together and are not irresponsible, or crazy erratic. Generally they mean exactly what the say and stick to their promises. I find other Caps fascinating and interesting and I love to hear their stories. Often they have to overcome some type of early struggle in life, like poverty, not fitting in, stressing about school, or having family issues. As they mature they often improve as they grow into themselves. They’re often wise beyond their years, and can sniff out bullsh!t from a mile away. They have a no-nonsense firmness about them where they can just sense what’s a smart reasonable thing to do, and what’s not. They often struggle with expressing their inner feelings but they’re there alright, and with time they’ll reveal them bit by bit. It takes time to win over a Cap. They tend to wait until they are absolutely sure they can trust you. If a Cap say’s they love you, you better believe they’ve thought it through for a long time and are sure they mean what they say.

Hmm a little musing here. I think that if one wants to understand a cap, the best way is to find out about their childhood/early life. In my experiences, Capricorns personalities and the way they evolve aren't erratic. There is almost always a reason. Those reasons often are because of early life experiences. I realize this can be said about many people, ime cap suns are more likely to be like this though. It's hard to get to know us when those experiences aren't good.

I feel that deep down we are aware that many things in our lives are impermanence and illusive. I wonder if that's why often we are drawn to building things that last. I remember talking about this with another cap, and he remarked that he felt the same, and that was why he had a tendency to like things that can be seen, touched and felt. Although he thought about the future, he tended to live in the "now".

I feel like The Unknown is pretty spot on with the Capricorn pros and cons. I have a Capricorn moon conjuncting Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter in the 8th. I also attract lots of Capricorn mooners.

Capricorn mooners are comedians/bosses/models/humanitarians all at once, if they wanna be. Ask Lucille Ball. Other great examples of Capricorns (suns) are Martin Luther King Jr., Paramahansa Yogananda, Edgar Allan Poe, Eartha Kitt, David Bowie, Betty White, Michelle Obama, Johnny Depp (he has a Cap moon).

Major depression. The depression can be so major with Cap Moons because they can be their biggest adversaries. It's like the Good Angel - Bad Angel on the shoulder thing runs true with Cap mooners, but I'm not sure if it's because their judgment is so spot on, or because they see things for what they truly are. Same difference? The truth ain't always pretty, perfect, or antique and classy, and that's what Cap mooners like.

Lot of the Cap mooners I know were either born into poverty and came up on their own or from the help of elders. Some Cap moons will be raised by grandparents, or rarely spend quality time with their biological parents because the career keeps their parents going. Capricorn moons are good at getting attention, but it isn't always positive. It's like some people sit there and wait for Cappy to mess up, because not all novices appreciate a sign that incarnated to 'master' whatever of their choosing. Capricorn Moon sort of reminds me of these lyrics from "Cocoa '88" - Sample time: "When I look in the sky, I see a hex like someone held a Baphomet high -And I ask myself, "who is that guy?" Or is it just I? Drawing with my eyes, There's been times I'm surprised I survived -And I wonder if it's an angel that blessed this - Or what devil distresses with a messes mixed message in my head......make the light go away, so no contrast for shadows to play."

Capricorns are dark, morbid, critical, amazing leaders, matter of fact, great builders, good with numbers, good with structure, they often have nice bone structure as well, and most Caps don't know that they have an audience of people looking up to them...until they fall a few times, but they always get back up stronger than ever. Think of the song "Uphill" by Can.

If a Cap mooner doesn't succumb to the pessimism, they will bring light to this planet and help nourish the earth and its inhabitants.
