Moon in Capricorn Storyteller
An Ambitious Storyteller
The moon is a satellite that functions much like a planet. It represents emotion, memories, introspection/reflection, perception, nurture, growth, and imagination. Because of this, it will influence how we tell stories. The moon doesn't necessarily tell stories in the methodical way (like Mercury would); the moon reflects the more emotional or subjective part of story telling which is based upon our perceptions of the world or how we wish the world was. Capricorn is the sign of the goat (or sea-goat) representing ambition, reserve, maturity, resources, and respect. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is a planet in astrology that represents limits/boundaries, time, age, karma, discipline, structure, and order. Capricorn is a cardinal sign which means it is initiating by nature and it is an earth sign which means it is sensual. It is also an introverted sign, which means it expresses itself more covertly.
When the moon is in Capricorn the emotions motivate the native to react in a more reserved manner. They are not expressive when it comes to their personal feelings, although deep down they think very deeply about things. They may seem cold or even pessimistic at times because they tend to reflect on mostly the setbacks they had or have in life. Of course, their focus is on solutions, not their personal feelings. Unfortunately, the moon is in detriment in Capricorn because of their aversion towards emotion. They are driven to succeed because they feel more content when they are successful at whatever they set out to do. They yearn to have respect and recognition. They are emotionally strong, dedicated, and focused as individuals.
