The Moon and its dignities and debilities

The moon's interpretations in astrology is heavily influenced by the Roman goddess Luna, who was considered the female complement of Sol (the sun). She was considered an emodiment of the moon, hence why we may often refer to the moon's energy as "lunar" energy. She would also drive her chariot, carrying the moon across the sky as her brother, sol, would be resting from a long day of sky-driving the sun. Luna was also known for admiring the handsome sheperd Endymion, which every night she would watch over him as he was fast asleep. Two other goddesses affiliated with the moon is Diana: the goddess of the hunt, moon, wilderness, and birth, as well as Hecate: the goddess of the night, witchcraft, and ghosts. They are considered a part of a triad of the moon and some say they are one being entirely. All of these goddesses and their characteristics have greatly influenced the astrological interpretation of the moon.

Astronomically, the moon is not necessarily a planet. The moon we see is the only satellite to earth, and the largest of all satellites known of the galaxy. It rotates around the earth and is quite complimentary to the sun. Where the sun provides life by day, the moon sustains life by night. It is through the light of the moon that we are able to see through the darkness here on earth. The moon has also come to be a human indicator of when we should "rest". The phases of the moon also have a physical influence on the tides of the waves in the ocean and CO2 (carbon dioxide) to plants at night. So, you see, the moon also is very important to our life as humans, sometimes in ways we may not be aware of.

In astrology, the moon is considered a "luminary" meant to shine light on our sub-consciousness...or in other words how we recieve the world around us. (Some astrologers consider the moon to also be an "inner personal planet"). The moon (representative of our subconscious world and our emotions) is very much a planet that is meant to "support" the sun (which is the planet that represents our "ego"). When we're done performing in the spotlight, we always need time to rest and tend to our emotional world: the world that hides our deepest insecurities. And no matter how confident we are, every human being has a weakness in common; everyone feels. And if we don't feel content within ourselves, no matter how confident we normally are, the moon will react...sometimes in ways we may not even realize...sometimes in ways we don't even understand. This is why the moon rules the sub-conscious world. It is in control of the emotional realm and handles every feeling and emotional need in our chart, from Mercury's need to learn, Venus's need for love, all the way down to Pluto's need for power. When all else fails, we tend to default to our moon; the way we expressed ourselves in our infant years. The moon represents our old habits from childhood; how we were even nurtured in our infant years. It represents our emotional needs: what we need when we're happy, sad, or even angry to sustain our emotional stability. And trust me, the moon is a planet very much concerned with stability! It also influences our desire to have relationship connections (which is very much in line with the planet Venus, the planet of love). The goal of the moon is to "sustain", and the sun can only maintain its "ego" if the "feelings" of our moon are in tact. The moon represents water and its tides...in our bodies it represents our sweat, blood, and tears as well as the eyes (the phases of the moon are highly connected to a woman's menstrual cycle and a male's wet dream). The moon is also very dependent, particularly on the other planetary energies in the chart (which is what I will discuss in descriptions of the other planets). The moon also represents the mood of our dreams. The moon is the "pathway" to all of our dreams. Our day dreams, fantasies, and especially the dreams that come to us in our sleep...the moon influences the nature of these dreams. In fact, the moon influences the "tone" of everything in our lives. It also represents our memories. It's our inner "nurturer" or "mother/father", the one planet that wants to protect you, as well as care for you and others around you. Moon is the planet that teaches us to deeply care for another human being and to have empathy. To some, the moon is a feminine energy, representing female emotions, female intuition, and ultimately mothering instincts. This does not mean that men do not also have this nurturing moon energy; it is simply that socially women more readily embrace the energies of the moon. The stronger our feelings are, the more we crave security and the more we "care" about life. We become more intuitive to the feelings of others and we understand how we feel. We are aware of our weaknesses and are not afraid of them. We are able to intuite who to trust with our feelings, and who we should not trust. And we find it easier to gain support, as well as support others, thus making it easier to feel content and secure. If our feelings are too strong, we become self-absorbed, dependent, overemotional, and changeable in moods but unable to "make" changes to our physical security. We may constantly worry and be too concerned with our own need for security. We may have trouble letting bad habits go. Yet, when our feelings are suppressed we struggle with our inner weaknesses. We struggle to open our hearts to others; we struggle to care for "the world". We become reliant on our own ambitions to sustain our emotions, only to later succumb to our emotional pressures. In this state, we do not rest well and we do not have positive dreams. We struggle to find positive outlets for our emotions and we struggle to trust ourselves and others. Conversely, we might trust in things or people that may not have our best interests at heart. In the end we become hollow and empty on the inside.

So in which signs does the moon feel more comfortable or the least comfortable? Let's examine, shall we?

Moon in Cancer-The Crab of The Moon

Moon+Cancer=COMPREHENSIVE EMOTIONS! Dignity(+5)

The crab is a crustacean that can live both on land or in the sea. There are various types of crabs that can live in a variety of different habitats; but one thing they all have in common is their connection to the sea. Even land based crabs (such as the The Christmas Island red crab) are dependent on the tides to determine various things, tides that are heavily influenced by the moon (hence why Cancer is ruled by the moon). They are physically known for their hard shell (which protects a soft inner layer of skin) and for their pincers that, when they get a hold of something, doesn't let things go. They often fight with other crabs of the same family, but have shown to "hold on" to their company when they need to survive, especially crabs who travel by sea. The female crab has proven to have the strongest protective instincts of any crustacean, and they are known for holding their eggs in a pouch-like part of the body. When they are shedding their skin, they are in the most vulnerable state. Once that phase is over, their skin hardens and they create a new shell. Some crabs also have the ability to regenerate when hurt or dismembered. And they can eat just about ANYTHING. The crab is a symbol of protection and family because of their hard outer shell, and their relationship with members of their "cast" or "family". Many crabs are adept at creating a home for their eggs, usually choosing to spawn under the protection of the sand.

When the moon is in Cancer, it is in its "home" or Domicile. And by now you should know that the moon likes to feel at home! The moon is the "planet" of emotions and Cancer is the sign of protection, home, and family. Moon is now in a sign that is secure; a place where it can direct its feelings towards its sense of home and its sense of family. The moon can dream in the imaginative world of Cancer and bring its emotions into the world of creativity. As a result of this combination, the native has comprehensive emotions. They never stop "feeling" for the world. They are filled with a need to care for others and support others. Their sympathy and compassion is so strong they cannot sit around watching others suffer without "doing" something. They may not necessarily be moved to tears for the world to see, but deep down they are easily "moved" by things. They understand people on a deeper level than the superficial. Even males with this position have an unusual understanding of people, especially women. They have a fantastic appetite and they love to eat! It's a necessity, right? They like to create new memories, so believe it or not they do like experiencing new things. They feel sentimentally towards photos or they hold on to things that have sentimental value. Surprisingly, they especially love spooky things that give them an emotional rush. They have fantastic long term memories, and can remember as far back as their toddler years or even in infancy in some cases. Natives with this position have a strong need to belong, and become attached to those that they love. So attached that any slight to their family is a slight to them. They are highly protective, and their instincts for survival are very strong. They have strong intuition. They can easily intuit the intentions and feelings of others, just by looking through the eyes of others. They are unafraid of their inner weaknesses and if they don't understand anything else, they at least understand how they feel. There is something very soft or humble about these natives, even if they have other dominate energies in the chart.

There are several problems with feeling things way too much. It makes for a very sensitive person. Because they "feel" so much, they are equally as protective with their feelings as the feelings of the ones they love. They can be very defensive when you slight them. When they are feeling bad, they can be self-absorbed, where only their feelings matter at the time. They are like a worried parent, overly worried (and thus worrisome) about everything. As a parent, they may "baby" their children. They become too attached to family, their home, and even their own opinions. As a result, they are highly dependent on others and constantly need reassurance. They can be dramatic: overdramatic and melodramatic in their emotional expressions. They can be moody and snappy; hard to predict. Not to mention they might have bad habits that they might hold on to and struggle to break away from. It can be difficult to read their feelings because they are not always clear. They tend to give little hints and expect others to clearly understand their feelings or emotional needs through these hints. While they know how they feel on the inside, they don't often know how to express their feelings on the outside where it can be understood to others (This depends on other energies in the chart). They have a strong sense of abandonment when they are not given enough care or attention. They can be manipulative and tend to pity themselves when life doesn't go the way they have hoped. Or of course, when they are sad they will hide away from the world and you may not see them for a while. This can be very inconvenient if they need to be relied on for something important. Of course all of these negative qualities are highly dependent on the energies of the natal chart. They must learn to control their own emotions and be more objective. This can be done by thinking more about what needs to be done rather than personal feelings. Natives with this position have vivid and elaborate dreams, and the mood of their dreams are often in line with their own emotional experiences.

This may also apply if you have the moon (planet of emotions) in your 4th house). If you have planets in Scorpio or Capricorn in your natal chart, this may tame your energies.

If you have negative aspects (opposition or square) to the moon or your moon position is accidentally debilitated by house placement, there may be more setbacks to gaining moon energy.

Cancer is a cardinal sign (initiating) and a water sign (emotional).

Moon in Taurus-The Bull of The Moon

Moon+Taurus=Steady Emotions! Dignity(+4)

The bull is known for being fearsome and highly protective of their territory. They don't like change and they are highly aggressive in unfamiliar territory. However, Bulls are not action-oriented...they are reactionary. They only react when you bother them, but otherwise they are pretty slow, calm, and steady. The female form of a bull is the cow. She is usually more gentle, calm, and steady compared to her male counterpart. But she is known to be very protective when it comes to her young, and that is when she is most dangerous. Cows develop strong bonds with their babies, and can even be close to their "calfs" all the way through adulthood. They have a healthy appetite and strong survival instincts. Bulls/cows are known for providing humans with the most produce, especially when it comes to dairy. There are more dairy cattle than any other form of cattle (or domesticated animal) in the world. Their feces is also very good for plants. Bulls in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome have always been a symbol of pleasure and fertility, as well as nurturing because its udder (usually provided for the sake of nourishing "calf" or "babies") has provided milk to the world for many years.

Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus. And here is why. Moon, the planet of emotions is now positioned in the sign of Taurus, the sign of pleasure and security. Moon seeks security, so of course this is an ideal place for the moon. Naturally, the moon is not in domicile in this sign because Taurus is not as "moist" as the moon would prefer it. But the sign of Taurus is a very stable sign for the moon's emotions and can make the moon VERY comfortable in "its own skin". How does this benefit the native? As a result, people with this position are steady emotionally (if the rest of the chart agrees). However, they do have strong feelings about things and are honest with their physical and emotional needs. When they express their feelings, they express simply and clearly using their body language as a signal. Unlike moon in cancer, this energy is hardly changeable. Even when upset, they try to remain and appear strong. The native is very attached to its home and its traditions; they are the types that go to high school prom because its a high school tradition or watch football because it has always been a family tradition. In fact, they're very good at preserving traditions and old antiques, especially ones passed down through the family line. The sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus (the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure). Thus, moon in Taurus also finds comfort in these simple things. And we all want love, beauty, and pleasure in our lives, don't we? This makes moon in Taurus natives easily content and not easily dissatisfied when it is comfortable. But don't be fooled by their calm and steady exterior....when you mess with them, they will protect themselves and the ones they love. They are also capable of perceiving the feelings of those they know well. There is something very steady or relaxed about these natives, even if there are other energetic or intense energies in the chart.

The downside to this position is that the natives with this position can be extremely stubborn. Unlike moon in Cancer natives who may enjoy experiencing new things for new memories, moon in Taurus natives may get so stuck in their traditional ways of doing things, they don't care to try new things. For them its all about the tried and true. This can be frustrating to more flexible people who may have grown tired of certain habits of these natives. (This depends on other energies in the chart). Speaking of habits, when moon in Taurus natives have a bad habit it's really hard for them to break, even if it might physically and emotionally be harmful. They are usually content when comfortable...but when they are uncomfortable they can be moody. Change upsets them more. They sometimes confuse the things they want with the things they need (especially when the moon and venus are conjuncting). When they are upset, they feel so strongly about things that it is hard for them to get over whatever (or whoever) made them feel that way. They tend to be overly indulgent in food and may tend to be shop-a-holics when they do feel discontent. They can sometimes be so content and self-absorbed in their own feelings and needs, that they don't cater to the feelings and needs of others. They must learn to accept change with just as much "grace" as they do "tradition". When people slight you don't be so quick to hold a grudge. Remember the people you have slighted. Learn to separate your needs from your wants; you don't NEED your favorite things, you simply need what you can survive on. Don't get so consumed with your own needs that you ignore the needs of others. The dreams of these natives are heavily influenced by their senses. The mood of their dreams will be more pleasurable if they are in comfortable surroundings.

This may apply to you if you have moon in the 2nd house (house of possessions and self-worth). If you have planets in scorpio or Capricorn in your natal chart, this may tame your moon energy.

If you have poor aspects (oppositions/squares) to venus/moon, venus in a debilitated sign position, planets in signs that venus does not agree with (Aries/Scorpio), or venus/moon accidentally debilitated by house placement, you may have more setbacks to gaining moon energy.

Taurus is a fixed sign (immovable) and an earth sign (physical).

Moon in Scorpio-The Scorpion of The Moon

Moon+Scorpio=Difficult Emotions Debility(-4)

The scorpion is very similar to the crab in the fact that they have pincers and a hard shell meant to protect them. Underneath the hard shell of a scorpion there is also a soft layer of skin, and they often shed this hard shell throughout periods of their life (though not as frequently as the crab). The main difference people will be surprised to know is that the crab is a crustacean; the scorpion is an arachnid. Yes, they are from the same species as the spider. And their behaviors are also very different from the crab. Crabs, while able to do things independently, feel much safer in numbers (especially underwater where there are more predators). The scorpion however is not reliant on other scorpions for survival: in fact its "family" of Scorpions can be one of its main predators. Scorpions feel more secure in dark places. Scorpions will go without food and water for several months, sometimes to the point they'll starve to death. As a result of deprevation, they can be greedy, willing to eat anything in their path including another Scorpion. This is why the symbol of the Scorpion has always been a symbol of betrayal, desire, and passion. Not to mention they are known for making use of the venomous stinger when they feel threatened. As parents, the mother is more defensive, especially because she carries her babies with her wherever she goes...but is also likely to devour any "sapling" that proves weak or falls behind. Scorpions leave the "nest" as soon as they are able to survive on their own.

The moon is falling in the sign of Scorpio, which means the moon lacks energy and needs support from outsiders. By the description above, this may seem like the WORST place for the moon to find security when you think about the sign of Scorpio. The moon is the planet of emotions and it is security-oriented. The sign of Scorpio, however, is the sign of power, destruction, desire, and transformation. This means the moon hardly has time to feel comfortable. How does this affect the native with this position? They will show a power struggle between weakness and power; a desire for peace and desire for chaos. This will cause them to mishandle their energies. People with the moon in Scorpio might often crave security (heck, we all do) and may have a strong need to connect with someone (or to something) on an emotional level. But the problem is that they have a difficult time trusting their own emotional instinct...and thus they have a difficult time trusting their connections. They are paranoid when it comes to security; they hardly think that it's possible even if they live a very stable life. When life gets too emotionally stable they are tempted to shake things up, simply because they are too used to living a chaotic life and get uncomfortable when things get...well comfortable. The sign of Scorpio is the sign of secrets, so people who have moon positioned in this sign often hide how they really feel from others. This makes it difficult for people to know what they honestly need. Sometimes, they don't even know what their emotional needs are. Moon in Scorpio's energy is very complicated as a result. There are so many layers emotionally, it's hard for people to break through the icy exterior. And this is unfortunate because deep down they have so many deep emotions...and dark emotions that they let foster to the point of unhealthiness. They may not have had much of an emotional connection with their parents. Or their parents were the complete opposite; giving them too much emotional connection to the point of smothering and overprotection. When they do express their feelings (usually to people they trust) they express their emotions with so much intensity that they scare the ones they care about away. They often form really bad habits; habits that are sometimes really dangerous. Drugs, sex, and any other dark experiences become a necessity in their lives. This can be a real problem. They are very emotionally destructive and tend to slight themselves when they feel any sign of "weakness". They are also this way towards others; this is how they show they "care". Because they never seem to get the peace they desire, they become easily jealous of others who live more peaceful lives; yet they also get jealous of those who live a more exciting life than they did. They make very overpossessive parents (or lovers), controlling even, and they get jealous when their children (or spouse) spends too much time with other people. They must learn to trust their own intuition and learn to care for both their emotional needs as well as the emotional needs of others. Don't be so cruel when you are slighted; try not to assume the worst from people and situations. Learn to let go of slights by being honest with your own feelings and accepting your own weaknesses. There is something about these natives that is very intense or secretive even if they have other softer or lighter energies in their natal chart. They must be careful of forcing themselves to submit or care for others out of obligation.

With falling positions, many people cannot see the upside to these positions; but there are upsides. In fact, several upsides. Moon in Scorpio natives have keen insight on people because rather than follow their immediate feeling of the heart, they are always observant. They make excellent psychologists because not only are they excellent at reading the intentions of others, they are also really good at keeping secrets. Once you tell a moon in Scorpio native a secret, trust me you won't ever hear it uttered from their mouths to another person (unless you have slighted them and they are out for blood). When they do actually trust a person, they become bonded to that person for life, sharing in passionate love and care. They do care about their children, even if they have a hard time showing it or show it too much, and if you mess with their children they will be out for blood. One good thing about this position is they are very insightful and when they have a flaw or bad habit, they always try to work towards "transforming" or changing their attitude. Even though resentful when slighted, they accept slights openly because they want to be stronger. This makes them resilient in the long run. Natives with this position tend to have "dark" or nightmarish dreams. The mood of their dreams are heavily influenced by whatever is "haunting" them in the real world as well as their desires.

This may apply to you if you have the moon (planet of emotions) in the 8th house (house of transformation, taboo experiences, and debts/inheritances). If you have planets in Taurus or Cancer in your natal chart, this could give your moon sign expression more moon energy.

If you have postive aspects to the moon or Mars/Pluto (Scorpio's ruling planets), Mars/Pluto is in a dignified sign position, you have planets in signs that agree with Mars/Pluto (Aries, Capricorn, Scorpio, or Leo), or your moon/Mars/Pluto is accidentally dignified by house position, then you may get more benefits to help you gain moon energy.

Because Scorpio is ruled by Mars traditionally, a masculine energy, there will be even more conflicted for women with this position. Most women embrace the moon's energy, but you will struggle to be comfortable with your own moon energy. You might feel different from other women and conflicted as to when and when you shouldn't embrace this energy. Men, however, may benefit from having their moon sign with more "masculine" characteristics, as this can help them to embrace their emotional needs more readily.

Scorpio is a fixed sign (immovable) and a water sign (emotional).

Moon in Capricorn-The Goat of The Moon

Moon+Capricorn=limited emotions Debility(-5)

The symbol for Capricorn is the goat. Many astrologers also say the symbol for Capricorn is the "sea-goat" which has caused a lot of controversy and confusion. But what most must understand is how the ancient Greeks viewed the "goats" we know of today, and the best understanding comes from an ancient writing known as The Scriptures of Delphi. Based upon this writing, the goat we know of today IS the sea goat. The text tells of how the first"sea-goat" , Pricus, was created by Chronos (whom by the way is the Greek version of Saturn), and eventually all the sea-goats made their way to land and evolved into the goats we recognize today, leaving Pricus as the only sea goat left. His figure is usually the symbol used to represent Capricorn because he was the first.

Since the "sea-goats" are actually representing the "goats" we know of today (and the most realistic example of a sea-goat would be a goat), I will be using the "goat" as an example to describe this segment.

The goat is another horned animal very similar to Aries, especially the females of the species. They are known for being "ambitious" creatures, who can overcome any obstacle, climbing the highest mountain and, to believers of the sea-goat, swimming down to the deepest sea. Their ability to climb mountains comes from the fact that they have fantastic coordination. Goats can even climb trees according to experts! They are inquisitive, always investigating unfamiliar people, places, and things. As parents, the mother "nanny" goat will often bleat to let their "kids" know to stay close, and usually "kid" goats understand this call right after they are born. Goats are also very social creatures. Just like cows, goats are capable of producing milk...it's much sweeter milk, but works just as well with dairy products. Different from most domesticated animals, they are "browsers" (animals that eat from bushes or trees) not "grazers" (animals that eat from grass or low grown plants). This is a sufficient way to get food in harsh climates where grass is not available. And trust me, the goat is very good at surviving in harsh climates. Surprisingly, they are very picky about what they eat, and they avoid food that is on the ground or contaminated. While domesticated goats do sleep well, wild goats are said not to sleep AT ALL (this may of course be because their sleep is easily disturbed by "intrusion"). Goats are known for going through "rutting" periods, where they will go without eating during mating seasons. The sign of Capricorn is a symbol for status and ambition, representing the ability to "climb" our way to the top of any social career. Goats do not have tear ducts, therefore they do not "cry".

Moon is considered in detriment in the sign of Capricorn, and honestly it is the worst position for the moon. People may wonder...why is this the worst position for the moon? Let me explain. The moon is the planet of emotion and Capricorn is the sign of ambition. How does this energy manifest? The moon is a planet that deeply cares for life. It is the energy that nurtures and supports from the heart. Capricorn is honestly the opposite. It is an energy that demands success and will do anything for the sake of its own ambition; even cast aside its own feelings. It is also a sign ruled by the planet Saturn, the planet of limitations and karma. This energy is not a supportive energy; it is an energy more focused on getting things done and removing as many obstacles it can. As a result of this combination, the moon's energy becomes limited behind cold ambitious energy. How does this affect the native? Moon in Capricorn people will have emotional restrictions: not just when they express their feelings...even when feeling from within. This position thus is representative of a conflict of natures, where the native cares emotionally, but they are naturally more reserved and logical. Moon in Capricorn natives may feel very deeply about someone or something, and may seek to connect with another individual emotionally. But the native may feel that emotions interfere with getting things accomplished in their careers or in their social life. They may feel as if their emotions are a burden because it makes them feel obligated to "care" for another, and thus feel as if they HAVE to set aside their own ambitions. Or their life could feel the opposite. They may feel their career is a burden to their emotional connections. They may even overcompensate for their lack of emotional connections by focusing on their career. This position represents natives that may have had to take responsibility for their actions at an early age. They have found that expressing their feelings has only made matters worse and so refrain from openly letting even those close to them know how they feel. The sad part is, they may be feeling very deeply about things. They are just simply uncomfortable with facing their emotional sides because it makes them feel "vulnerable". They have a tendency to monitor their feelings as well as the feelings of others and simply prepare to correct the emotional "issue". As a result of being uncomfortable with their own feelings, they are also very uncomfortable with the feelings of others. When you're feeling bad they may get really hard-nosed and cold or avoid you until you're "over it". Don't worry, its not that they don't care about how you feel...in fact this reaction is because they do care and they just can't stand to see others in a weakened state. They might try to solve their emotional problems (even others' emotional problems) with logical solutions. As parents, they are all about discipline and may seem very hard on their "kids". They may try to work off their feelings or use other substances (sometimes negative substances) to get over their emotions. Moon in Capricorn natives must learn to be honest with themselves about how they feel. They can achieve this by getting to know who they are on the inside, rather than focusing on their social/career life. They must adjust their attitude towards the feelings of others by putting themselves in the "shoes of others"; this way they can develop a little sympathy for the ones they care about and won't be so readily dismissive. Rather than see emotional connections as an obstacle, see it as an asset to furthering success. You can't truly be successful unless you have others close to you to share in your success. Don't get so caught up in making a physically secure life for your family that you forget some of the most important things, such as EMOTIONAL security. There is something about these natives that seems reserved or hardened, even if they have softer or energetic energies in their chart.

The beauty of this position is that moon in Capricorn natives are built for success. While other positions are more than likely to let their feelings interfere with their working environment, a moon in Capricorn will always consider their goals. They may not be the most nurturing or sensitive parents, but they do care and they show this by making sure the family has a stable environment. When they feel a certain way, instead of whining and complaining, they are more than likely to do something to solve their issues. They are good in emergency situations because they don't let their emotions cloud their sound judgment. They wait for the right time express their feelings, always considering the consequences. They make excellent nannies/babysitters because they are responsible and protective. They make excellent monitors or security guards because they are always prepared. The mood of their dreams may not be clearly understood. The dreams of these natives are mostly influenced by their goals.

You may relate to these descriptions if you have the moon (planet of emotions) in the 10th house (house of career, authority, and public status). If you have planets in Cancer or Taurus signs in your natal chart, this could give your moon sign expression more moon energy.

If you have positive aspects to the moon or Saturn, Saturn in a dignified sign position, planets in signs that Saturn agrees with (Libra, Capricorn, or Aquarius) in your natal chart, or the moon or Saturn accidentally dignified by house position, you may find more benefits to help in gaining moon energy.

Capricorn is a cardinal sign (initiating) and an earth sign (physical).

The moon crosses into all 12 signs of the zodiac. However, for the sake of this website, I have narrowed my descriptions down to only those signs with dignities and debilities. The good news is that throughout this website you will still be able to discover how dignities and debilities can teach us a lot about the natures of the planets and the signs.
