Moon in Capricorn in the Twelfth House

In the Moon in Capricorn placement, Capricorn has both a stabilizing and restrictive effect on the shifting influence of the Moon. The Moon represents the emotional, sympathetic side of a personality whereas Capricorn is an unemotional and undemonstrative sign. Individuals with their Moon in Capricorn have to overcome obstacles and complexities within their own natures to find the happiness they constantly seek.

If you have your Moon in Capricorn you have an alert mind and are very eager to learn. However, you are not interested in vague theory; you want to put your knowledge to use. An example of this talent for practical application is Thomas Edison, a Moon in Capricorn whose Sun was in Aquarius. In Edison we see the inventive, far-reaching vision of the Aquarian truth-seeker, but the focus of his work was to make his experiments useful, to put them into everyday utilization. His inventions of the telegraph, phonograph, electric light, and moving picture changed the way we live. Another example of a Moon in Capricorn is Gene Kelly, whose Sun was on the Leo-Virgo cusp. In his life we saw the creativity and exuberance of Leo, the hard work ethic of Virgo; his Moon in Capricorn was evident in how he took his knowledge of dancing and applied it in a practical way to film choreography. In the process he introduced an entirely new genre of musical comedy and changed the very way such movies were filmed.

If you have a Moon in Capricorn you are organized, ambitious, and usually a prodigious worker. Self-sufficient and a bit solitary, you are haunted by a feeling of responsibility, of a task you must fulfill.

Having your Moon in Capricorn, you are a determined person but your single mindedness can sometimes turn into obsession. You pin your hopes on one idea, turn all your energies in one direction; if you fail you may suffer serious depression. Of course, because of their unshakable commitment, most Moon in Capricorn individuals succeed and often make an imprint on the world. Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln all had their Moon in Capricorn. Moon in Capricorn individuals who have their Sun or Ascendant in one of the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn) have particularly auspicious auguries for leadership.

With your Moon in Capricorn, money is important to you, not so much for what it can buy as for the status it bestows in the world of business, politics, finance, and high society where you wish to shine. You have charming social manners and an instinct for getting to know the right people.

As an individual with your Moon in Capricorn, unknown to all but your closest relaciones, you suffer from feelings of insecurity and loneliness. Often you conceal this with a dry sense of humor. Your secret terror is of being abandoned or having someone you love cease to love you. You find it hard to reveal your deepest feelings and therefore may be perceived as being cold or calculating. For many Moon in Capricorn individuals, authority and power are a compensation for the difficulties they encounter in emotional areas. With your Moon in Capricorn, you are cautious and reserved, you tend to turn your feelings inward, and you need a lot of emotional reassurance before you allow them to be drawn out. You also have difficulty putting your complete trust in someone else. But at some point, usually when you are past thirty, you find the person you can become totally involved with, and then your love is durable.

Having your Moon in Capricorn, when you feel secure within an emotional relación your commitment may last your entire lifetime. You are loyal and steadfast, generous and giving. In fact, you often give more than you get back. This is especially true about the relationships of females with their Moon in Capricorn to their lovers and friends.

La posición del signo de la Luna describe cómo respondemos habitualmente a otras personas y a las circunstancias de nuestra vida, así como la forma en que experimentamos nuestras emociones y buscamos la realización emocional. La posición de su casa corresponde al área de la vida en la que operamos de forma más inconsciente, según patrones pasados y respuestas instintivas.

Moon in the 12th House:

The Moon in the 12th House placement indicates that you are drawn out from your emotional involvement at the personal level toward a more universal experience of emotion and caring. Having your Moon in the 12th House, you are called upon to rise above your own concerns and welfare and to lose yourself for the sake of others. This naturally brings to the fore the nurturing and caring functions that are symbolized by the Moon.

With your Moon in the 12th House, you may need to keep a balance between your own health and welfare and that of others, as you may have a tendency to “go overboard” in your concern for others and neglect your own personal needs. Sometimes, you may adopt a “mock martyr” attitude, using your self-sacrificing concern to inflict a “guilt trip” on the recipient of your care. Words like, “I’ve sacrificed so much for you, and this is the thanks I get” are typical of someone with their Moon in the 12th House. When you are balanced, however, one of your strengths may be your ability to be a caring, sensitive and nurturing individual.

Inseguridades

As an individual with your Moon in the 12th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you are likely to fear that your ego-based personal self will disappear into oblivion. Your psyche tries to push this fear into your subconscious. Your subconscious is also trying to protect your ego from the pull of the unknown. By suppressing your existential fear, however, you create the conditions for deep neuroses to develop and take root in your subconscious.

Having your Moon in the 12th House, in defending your personal self from experiencing of the frightening unknown, you are likely to overcompensate and overemphasize the personal. You may seek to heighten your awareness of your personal self by “turning up the volume” on your feelings and emotions. With your Moon in the 12th House, you may also try to create a sense of security and self-importance by creating situations in which you becomes a care-provider to dependent others. You will tend to nurture these relationships in order to entrap the others involved, and hold onto their dependency. This may involve a good deal of deception on your part.

Enfoque del desarrollo emocional

With your Moon in the 12th House, your emotional development often takes place quietly and almost imperceptibly, influenced by subtle and unseen forces. Your emotions are likely to develop in the direction of greater sensitivity. Your capacity for compassion is also likely to be developed to a greater extent than in most people. If, however, the forces influencing your emotional development are negative, growing fear and neuroticism may be the result. Having your Moon in the 12th House, the ultimate goal of your emotional development is that of self-transcendence.
