The Sun is the planet that zodiac novices are most interested in. But the moon is equally important in a chart. This planet relates to the world of emotions, including the nature embedded by nature, nurture and memory. It resides in the subconscious and deals with how a person relates to those around them. The characteristics in this sign might not be apparent to the person they refer to since they reside so deeply in the mind. Others are often better able to recognize these traits, as they are put out there into the world more than they are reflected upon.



A person with their Moon in Capricorn has a reliable and determined personality. They are highly interested in attaining a certain status or position of power in society since that seems to be their birthright. Hard working, serious, stable and very stubborn this person will do whatever they have to in order to meet a goal. They would much rather have their nose to the grindstone than be in the center of a room telling jokes. This is a sign of reservation, conservatism and values. It is a rare occasion when someone with this planet is caught doing something illicit. Too much of their self worth is put in their reputation for such a risk to be even remotely worth it.

Emotional displays are not in their nature and others can see them as being cold or without feeling. That isn't the case. It is a matter of the person not knowing how (or lacking the ability) to let go and be relaxed. They play their emotions close to their chest because they are self conscious of what others think since their own worth is questionable in their mind. Shyness is often the reason they come off as reserved to others. When things aren't going well, this person takes it especially hard and can fall into a depression.

In those relationships that they do manage to form, this person is devoted, loyal and dependable. They show their emotions not through words but by being accessible and taking care of material tasks. It is unlikely that this person will show grand displays of affection and sensuality will also not be one of their strong suits. Being responsible and practical are more important to this person than being sexy. Not that they lack a sex drive altogether - it just isn't a top priority.

Their ability to solve problems makes them a good team leader. Stability, security and status are of the most importance to this sign. Earning money, respect and recognition bolsters those needs and also makes these people feel as if they have value. This person is likely to be involved in the community - especially in a leadership position at a charitable organization. Giving back not only makes them look good, the positive recognition from the others around them will make their self worth dial turn up a few notches. The chances of it staying there are, unfortunately, somewhat slim.
