Hi all, I'm curious about what characteristics are typical of a Capricorn moon. I feel like I know a lot about sun signs but when it comes to moons I'm still learning!

I'd say that Capricorn moon characteristics can change a bit between men and women, but in general, they tend to be really reserved. They often care about having a legacy and are very ambitious. They tend to care about their reputation and their image– it's not that they necessarily care about earning money, it's more about building something meaningful. They can also be very family-oriented, especially men with Capricorn moons; they often take great pride in being fathers. They can also have trouble relating to their emotions, often viewing their own emotions as a kind of inconvenience, and like they're something to "handle". That's hard because we all have emotions! And they tend to be hard on themselves, emotionally. Other people may find them to be aloof because of that.

As a Capricorn moon I can say that we are really good at hiding our emotions and even come off cold and clinical sometimes, but that doesn't mean we don't experience feelings underneath the surface. We just have a hard time expressing ourselves and don't like to be vulnerable. We want to come off cool and composed and in control so we don't get taken advantage of or thought of as weak. We're also known for being very driven and ambitious or even cutthroat. We can also be rather blunt at times and struggle to be sensitive to the feelings of others (not saying that's OK, but that we can struggle with it!).

My boyfriend is a capricorn moon and some of his strengths are that he's practical and hard-working. He's able to get anything done if he puts his mind to it. But I think those traits also came with some negatives. Sometimes he's so practical that he's less sensitive to my feelings than I'd like him to be. And sometimes when he works hard he gets really critical of himself and it's hard to see him beat himself up.

In my experience interacting with capricorn moons, they can be pessimistic. Some of the most draining people I've known were capricorn moons because they always had something negative to say. But they're not all like that! I've also had capricorn moon friends who are incredibly reliable and easy to trust.

The Capricorn moons I've met have been really practical and ambitious. They know what they want in life and they have it in them to accomplish it. My friend who is a Capricorn moon has his life totally together. He has a 10 year plan that he's actually doing a good job of following because he blocks out his time and is disciplined.
