The way your Moon interacts with the Sun sign makes a huge difference in terms of your personality. While the Sun is how we act, the Moon is how we react. I’m continuing this Sun-Moon combo series with CAPRICORN :)

If you’re an Capricorn, look up your Moon sign in your natal chart and use the guide below to find out more about how your needs intersect with your wants. Take everything with a grain of salt, as always. Your other placements will affect your Sun-Moon pairing, distinguishing you further.

Capricorn Sun, Aries Moon: Abrasive

You’re not here to shy away from asking the hard questions or voicing the hard things that no one needs to talk about. In all situations, you are clear about your aims and frank about exactly what you think about those who doubt you. You know exactly who you are and expect others to as well. Those who expect a politer form of address will see you as overly rude. However, you stay unapologetic to those individuals and make no move to do anything simply for the sake of appeasing the crowd.

Capricorn Sun, Taurus Moon: Satisfaction

There is a sturdiness about you that makes those around you trust your decisions. When you commit to something, you do not do so lightly. In fact, there is a heaviness to all your endeavors, as if every decision you make is one that you can never go back on. You are interested in carnal knowledge over pure pleasure and have a knack for making the banal feel infinitely pleasurable. In all pursuits, you are more interested in a definite end over an unending chase.

Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon: Scientist

In your pursuits, you are interested in finding carefully planned and diligently executed formulas. You have a way of doing things that, from the inside, may feel chaotic, but look to the casual observer to be carefully regimented and diligently applied. Actually, despite your appearance of calmness, your formulas are just what happens when you balance an act of carefully falling apart at all times. It is your rationality, whatever reason that it held up by, which gives you your sense of structure.

Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon: Well Shelled

While you desperately desire comfort, it is your own decisions that deprive you of any. You desire belonging but may find it difficult to find situations or groups that accept you with the authenticity that you want so much. You learn quickly to reject others before they are able to reject you, and to read rejection in every accidental encounter. In most situations, your hunches are correct, but it would do you well to remind yourself that you are capable of changing the situation despite the real emotions you are reading. If you let yourself, you may acquire a reputation for being rather closed off despite your need for acceptance.

Capricorn Sun, Leo Moon: Renowned

You are not satisfied with simply becoming well known within an existing niche or making sets of individuals fall in love with you, but, rather, you are interested appeasing some historical need with your figure as presence. You are able to design and control your persona to fit wide zeitgeist changes, filling the appetites that large, societal changes bring about. You are interested in things that operate at a international and historical scale. More than love, you are interested in respect, since you know that respect is the more enduring option.

Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon: Respected

There is no one on earth incapable of respecting you because the sheer amount of labor and practice you put into what you do is overwhelming. There can be a dry quality in which you approach others, you are interested in the mundane over the impractical. You are capable of organizing a large amount of work but can get caught up with the process to the point that you hold onto things rather than releasing them. When others think of you, they position you as someone impossible to emulate because there is no way to imitate such an impossible willingness to work.

Capricorn Sun, Libra Moon: Aristocratic

You are interested in social status, whether your interest propels you to rebel against social conventions or obey them. You are always well aware of how you fit into a group or setting, how the people around you perceive you, and what you can say to garner the type of response you need. When you gossip, it is never about specific people but entire demographics and you should take care to not project any grievances on a specific individual onto an entire, representational group. There are times when you willingly put your fate in the hands of others, especially when you lack security.

Capricorn Sun, Scorpio Moon: Emo

Others see you as brooding and sensitive, as if you are always staring off into the distance as rain falls around you. If you are good looking, this will give you a melancholic charm and, if you are not, others may tell you to cheer up and quit being so grumpy. You keep much of your many moods to yourself and may appear to have a complex over taking on the roles that no one else wants to play. In actuality, playing the bad guy is exactly what you prefer because it confirms your assumptions about no one quite understanding you the way you want to be understood.

Capricorn Sun, Sagittarius Moon: Spectacle

You are capable of huge accomplishment and have ambitions large enough to fill several lifetimes. Not only that, you have the work ethics to make all your big dream a plannable reality. Because of this your ability to accomplish what others cannot, you may feel that you are bigger and brighter than those around and, because of your successes, allowed to have free reign over anything and anyone. This can make trouble for you later in life when you learn that no amount of money can buy a freedom that is unaccountable to anyone. If you do not operate as if you are above the law, you can do things worthy of true celebration.

Capricorn Sun, Capricorn Moon: Controlled

You are extremely private about your need for catharsis but can obsessively seek it out because you choose social roles to play which do not allow for strong outbursts or chances for self expression. Others see you as mentor, subordinate, or take you granted in capacities that are purely defined in terms of the practical. This is why you have private fantasies for losing the control that you hold to tightly onto in your day to day life. Because you have the habit of and impulse toward controlling even those points of catharsis, you may create a rich fantasy life in which you are allowed to be who you want to be to compensate.

Capricorn Sun, Aquarius Moon: Diplomatic

Because social approval is a matter of business for you, you can totally forget about the more emotional side of having a relationship. In most relationships, because they are for work and lack intimacy, you remain in control and are well respected. In closer relationships, in which there are emotions are stake, you may find yourself disliked because of the abrupt manner in which you say things. You will do well when you remember that tact is not a shield, but that love takes softness. However esteemed you are publicly, it is worth it for you to practice kindness because it is what you seek in your private life.

Capricorn Sun, Pisces Moon: Emblematic

You are one of the few individuals capable of enduring pain, distrust, and boredom without losing sight of your high ideals. Part of the reasons for this is that, in difficult situations, you know when exactly to compromise in order to give yourself a much needed emotional respite while furthering the goals of your cause. You let a lot go, because you never lose sight of the bigger picture of what you are after. You have a rich, inner world in which you retreat when you are stressed and this ensures that you can take on much responsibility without emotional burnout.
