I know what you mean about water Moons!
My Moon is exactly sextile Mercury in Pisces, so I do express my emotions - probably more than other Capricorn Mooners. But there are times when I'll talk to a water Moon person and discover feelings and emotions I never even knew I had. It's kind of strange.
These relationships can be healing in small doses. But there is only so much watery emotion I can take.

I've never had a relationship with an Aquarius Mooner, but based on what I know about them and how I generally click with Aquarius influence... I think this would work. Aquarius is very uplifting and fun, by contrast to Capricorn. So in a sense they can be good for the more serious/somber Capricorn.

Well I do have that Uranus/Neptune/Saturn stellium in my 4th but I wonder how much that lends to "real" Capricorn energy because those are such mass generational planets, you know? Two of the Capricorn Suns I've been with have ranged from a few months older than me to a year younger than me, whereas the Capricorn Moon is apart of a separate generation and perhaps more susceptible to the energy my outer planets give off.

Saturn is apart of my grand earth trine if one cares to count angles (ASC/Sun/Saturn less than 2 degrees apart)

I also have Jupiter in my 10th plus Saturn sextile Mars (2 degrees).. not to mention I also have an Earth Mercury which may lead me to interpret the emotional currants/undertones of Cap energy in a way that intellectualizes/understands it - although Aquarius energy also gets the job done too in this regard, but I'm sure earth-on-earth is able to be much more synchronized when it comes to innate understanding

All right, here's a topic I can talk about. Though maintaing a lifetime, haven't been as successful at so far.

Capricorns are like Italian food. Taste so good going down but they always leave me with heartburn. They are usually the ones leaving me. But, at least in the case of my ex wife, its not always final.

This may not apply as much to the male of the species, but for what it's worth...

It's said that you can never be too rich or too thin for a Capricorn. But all you really need is to be useful.

Never put your hands on them in public. Never take your hands off them in private.

More so than other signs, the neck is an erogenous zone.

Backrubs! Especially the neck and shoulders.

When they finally relax around you, their first reaction is to fall asleep. The body isn't used to being relaxed, you see...

They are susceptible to self doubt. Be their rock. Be their mirror. Let them see how beautiful they are through your eyes.

Once they give you a place in their heart, its forever... even if they broke up with you 30 years ago. I say this from multiple personal experiences.

They love to orchestrate. If you don't want them orchestrating your life, you're going to have to give them something else to orchestrate, like a social gathering, or your finances. I'd remind you to complement them, but you will anyway when you see the results.

Never make them feel cheap. Never make them feel dirty. Lusty is a whole 'nuther thing...

Hi Hanna,

I believe cardinal signs enjoy some mutual understanding, definitely. And especially when Aries and Cap have personal planets conjunct in Pisces. Aries-Cap cooperation can be very satisfying for both; my one Cap friend is nauseatingly happy with her Aries husband.

Thanks RogueReader ~ so glad you saw some value in my approach, as I admire your discernment.

And yes, I believe power struggles often boil down to "loaded semantics" as you said.

Cap/Aqua is prominent in my chart, too.

Thanks again! Yes, I agree.

My Aqua Mercury is in a t-square with Uranus and Saturn, so I am constantly arbitrating between these energies. Not that that makes me an expert, but a long-suffering student at the very least.

I'm very busy these days promoting a healing modality called Angelic Reiki on the East Coast, where it doesn't yet have a major following. So lots of my free time is being sucked up by that, but I don't mind. I'm very gung ho about it.

Coincidentally I was just doodling on a business card earlier today that advertises Angelic GRACE (TM) and Reiki. Not sure if that's anything like what you do...but your work sounds truly fascinating and rewarding.

Best wishes!

Faith, by far your post took my breath away with the clarity it granted me. I've never seen the differences between Aquarius/Capricorn so finely articulated before - everything you've said has given me so much to mull over that I couldn't give such breadth of knowledge a quick, thoughtless response!

"Maintain" was a really weird, hesitant choice of words on my part - instinctually what I truly wanted to say was "how can I keep a Capricorn around for the long term?" or "How can I better tailor my behavior to make a Capricorn comfortable?" - however it's the Uranian in me that wanted to neutralize the emotional component in those statements with the ambiguous "maintain"... now I see why I might have a tendency to hurt the Capricorns in my life. If something isn't rational, I feel as though they want authenticity. However, Aquarius thinks "how can I state how I feel in a way that sounds more like a universal, objective statement and can't be held against me later?" Therein lies the struggle I think!

Maybe your Moon in the 10th lends you a particular empathy towards Capricorn plight?

June 64. My Saturn is pretty heavily involved in my chart... Grand trine with Venus and the Asc, one side of the Mercury T square(s). And it's stationed about to turn Rx.

Agreed on all accounts; especially the outline of Aquarian thought processes. I can completely relate and it's hard to understand and make understood how Aqua thinks. Although I'm not the OP, I'm super appreciative that people took creative risks and the time to chime in. Shoutout to Faith for the Aqua neon nail polish bit - I LOL'd; I loooooooove neons.

Actually I can see it so much more clearly now.. with all the Gemini in your chart, Capricorn rules your 3rd house of communications. There's a natural ease in the banter between the two of you, and you truly feel as if you don't have to try in order to make yours (or their) thought processes understood. Not to mention you also have your south node in Capricorn, so there is something about their general energy that plays a fated tune to you. Almost like the call of the Siren - alluring, irresistible, even your Venus in Cancer feels the thrill of electricity in the opposition energy! Your Saturn is trine both your Venus and North Node, hence why Capricorns tend to answer your whistles in the wild. Heck, even your chart ruler is opposite Saturn.

Your Leonine Moon in the 10th is probably extremely impressive for them initially too - there's something about your mode of expression that is both showy yet reserved. You handle yourself appropriately in all situations that call for respect in a Capricorn's mind, and you provide the kind of flair and specialized touch to your methods that they themselves could only dream of.

Yes, I am a Scorpio sun. Aquarius rising. Moon in cancer. Imagine Scorpio with Aquarius, hun. Not an easy combo for most of my life. I was reallllly tightly wound about a lot of things. I actually credit the Angelic Reiki attunements I got during the class I took last year with bringing me down quite a few notches. I am now almost normal. (Smiles)

Ah, Faith ... there are no coincidences, are there, really? The card you were doodling on... trying to tell you something, maybe. Angelic Reiki is a powerful healing modality in which we (the healers) invoke the Angels to merge their energy with ours after we have already merged ours with the patient's. So it's a bridge that the healer is creating between patient and Angels. It might sound woo-woo out there to some, but my life has been changed by getting the healing and by doing my own on others. I have done some in-person, but mostly remote healings since becoming certified, and the feedback I'm getting is great. There is no more satisfying thing for me, honestly. (Gets off soap box, shuffles over to bed, as it's late).

I should know...I am a Cappy moon.. I have a stellium of Cappy planets and asteroids in the 9th -Moon, Neptune, Uranus, NN, Lilith, and Juno. I dont have any Aquarius planets so I'm speaking on the behalf of being a stellar Cappy. Just being around myself is hard work thru emotions of a Saturian nature. I am the dark side of the moon and its tough and lonely. To stay with me is a test of loyalty and honesty and not quitting when it gets tough. That's the real way to "maintain" a Cap. Romance and affection are very much desired on my behalf but under certain terms...I don't really like PDA...when I was 16 yes, but only as a status thing(Capricorn) more than needing to be all over my lover for the hell of it. I much prefer private affection that isn't interrupted by others watching or people being uncomfortable. Silence in a long meaningful embrace seems to mean more to me than always talking or saying something BUT not TOO long. Us Cappys need to SEE what good can be done for us and to us than to hear something being done for us. You can always win us over with practical things like, cleaning up, responsible finances, everything organized, with a massage on the temples to make us feel relaxed that we dont have to do EVERYTHING in order for a structure to put us at ease. I will say there is a power struggle...its not done in a malicious way ..its done in a way to make sure things happen when they need to and sometimes in their own pace. Whenever I sense a power dynamic with someone I tend to recognize it very quickly and start going slow with that energy because it's too easy to go fast...and if you go too fast you cant savor it...you cant see ahead a future and you cant build something solid....

The fact youre attracted to this is great... I cant be attracted to a Cappy because there are too many similarities ...my last ex was a Cappy sun... it was conjunct my moon.
He was 38 I was 22... he wielded the Cappy power better than I could! Very frustrating as he could sense I was overthrown in my Cappy powers.

I will say though...he melted when I gave him massages...even took a migraine away with one and started seeing me differently. Not just some chick who is tying for his time and affection. Showing I cared about him and giving praise when his ego was waning. Such workaholics, like myself sometimes really need to be told we are doing a good job because we really are. Nothing is half-assed and we don't need our lovers to be either.

Us Cappys LOVE massages on our backs, necks and temples. Thats a sure way to keep a Cap always seeking you out. Learn to make us relaxed and we will make a place for you in our hearts. Trust!
