Moon in Capricorn: Detriment of the Moon. The Capricornian emphasis on duty, social cohesion, and work ethic tends to overpower the Moon’s emphasis on nurture and self-care. Outer events won’t conspire to make you feel emotionally comfortable; hard work and discipline will be asked of you instead.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Earth. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The Moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.
Moon’s ruler: The Moon is conjoined her ruler Saturn in Capricorn. This provides great support to ensure that the Moon’s significations will ground and that the work done during this period will be long-lasting. On its own, the Moon-Saturn earth conjunction can contribute to the negative self-talk present with any configuration to Saturn. Feelings of duty and obligation will be strong.
Relationship to the Sun: The Moon is averse to the Sun in Sagittarius. This is a neutral relationship. The outer world, environment, and circumstances will not get in your way, but it will not overtly help you either.
Aspects
Superior Moveable Square to Mars in Aries. This will create strong amounts of tension and frustration. Pushback from other people will be strong, and internal negative programs can become quite loud and intense. I would recommend wearing Moonstone or Bloodstone to offset some of the difficulties of this transits.
Conjoined Jupiter in Capricorn. This will bring in more emotional buoyancy and optimism than is normally the case with the Moon in Capricorn, but it will be have trouble competing with the Mars square and Saturn conjunction. It will keep these other two aspects from becoming too severe.
Summary: As much as we may not like it - we oftentimes find ourselves required to table our own emotional needs and wants to accomplish a task and service the needs of others. This is the kind of thing that is called for when the Moon occupies Capricorn. It is a placement of sacrifice and hard work, and a lot of the harsher sides of this will be strengthened through the hard aspects to Saturn and Mars. However, thanks to the help from Jupiter, you will be supported by those around you and have an easier time accomplishing the tasks you have set before yourself. If you push past the obstacles, you can make a lot of long-lasting, permanent changes during this period.
