The Moon is the mind: feelings, memory, comfort, the mother and the way you nurture and need nurturing. Because it moves fast, it colours the day-to-day mood of life. A strong Moon gives emotional steadiness, popularity and imagination; a weak Moon can make the mind restless. Its house shows where you look for emotional security.
Capricorn is a movable earth sign ruled by Saturn. It stands for ambition, discipline, structure, responsibility and long-term achievement. Planets here become practical, patient and goal-driven. It is the sign of the administrator, the engineer and the builder.
