What Moon does in a chart

Moon is the part of the chart that answers one question:What do I need in order to feel safe? It describes emotional needs — not events, and not outcomes.

What Capricorn does to it

Capricorn is a earth sign, so it moves on evidence and consistency. It is also cardinal, which means it starts things. Put those together with Moon and you get needs control — structured, patient, ambitious, applied specifically to emotional needs.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, so this placement tends to be coloured by structure and commitment as well.

The useful version

Is your Moon actually in Capricorn?

The Moon moves through a sign in about two and a half days, so guessing does not work. Calculate it properly.
