Moon in Capricorn
The Moon in Capricorn, in its detriment: feelings held with reserve, and security found in competence.
Meaning
Opposite Cancer, its own sign, the Moon stands in detriment in Saturn’s earth. Feeling is given a structure here: needs carried with dignity, which soften as trust and time allow.
The Moon is in detriment in Capricorn: the sign’s reserve and self-control work against the Moon’s need to be soothed, so feelings are often managed rather than expressed. You feel safer when you are competent, in control and not dependent on anyone. Many people with this placement took on responsibility early in life. You might handle a crisis calmly and only feel it weeks later. Allowing yourself to be looked after, in small ways, is part of the work.
