Moon in Capricorn      Ruler: Saturn

     Capricorn, on the whole, is a very bad position for the Moon for here she is in her detriment and the whole nature is unsympathetic. Capricorn ruled by the planet, Saturn, is cold, solitary, remote, repressed and obsessed. People with this moon usually have a guiding thought, a mission, or an obsession that often takes an entire life to accomplish whether for good or evil.

     The entire temperament is grim repellent and solitary. The native has intelligence, force, strength, both of mind and body, but what is  lacking is social human skills. The native is selfish and covetous, a prey to inward passions. They criticize others without mercy but envy them the very qualities that they revile. These people are strong-minded and have self-seeking ambitions, backed by a keen brain always on the lookout for victory at someone else's' expense. It is the strength of this position that makes it so dangerous.

     Down through history many of the world's famous tyrants as well as reformers had this lunation. The position is quite good for men in a worldly sense. He is impersonal in the judgment of the world around him, but he is very selfish regarding his own aims and ambitions.

     He is cautious, thrifty, and lays his plans systematically. He seldom makes intimate friends, and usually confides in nobody. His interests are in the commercial world and his greatest successes are usually in business. Government and politics offer fertile fields for the type of ability found in this personality.

     Despite their coldness, these men do  marry. They do  not seek romantic love but rather a partnership based on mutual cooperation. They are reliable and take responsibility seriously. If they become interested in women outside of the home environment, this attitude will become a permanent infidelity. Since they are great defenders of their own actions and are always right, they make themselves appear to be the injured party. There is always an urge toward evil in every gesture of this personality.

     Women with  this lunation fare better. They are less perverse, and much less sinister in thought. They are austere, masculine in temperament, and intellectual. Life is not very friendly to this type of woman, and all of her ambitions and longings are apt to meet with delays, obstacles and frustration. Most of her difficulties come through a lack of domesticity in the innate disposition and a desire to live her life in an atmosphere of masculine competition. They are very devoted women, who can be trusted with deep secrets, great works and responsibilities of any kind. They have high standards, and live up to an exalted code of right or wrong. If these women were more light-minded, sensitive and whimsical, their matrimonial chances would be increased

     The health of this group is excellent. They are strong, sturdy people with excellent constitutions. They can work long and hard before any effects are seen on the cast-iron of their endurance. They worry a great deal which has a more disastrous effect on their health than hard and  long work. The general tendency of this position is to brood inwardly over real or fancied wrongs. 

     As life goes on there is an increasing tendency toward rheumatism , colitis and all kinds of indigestion. Skin affections and teeth troubles are part of the weaknesses of this position.

     The Moon in Capricorn native would get along with a person who has their Sun or Venus in the sign of Capricorn.
