Moon in Capricorn in the Eighth 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.

Moon in the 8th House:

The Moon in the 8th House is generally a very compatible placement for the Moon, resulting in deep and well-developed emotional psychic energy. The personal nature of the emotions and the nurturing tendency symbolized by the Moon normally fit well in the private and intimate environment symbolized by the 8th House. As a result, having your Moon in the 8th House, your emotional capacity is likely to blossom. You may not display your emotions as readily as others, but they tend to be deeply held and passionate.

With your Moon in the 8th House, it is generally those with whom you are closest that see your emotional side. In fact, you may even deem it somewhat inappropriate to be publicly emotional, reserving your emotional energy for more intimate occasions. Although you may tend to hold back your emotions, if you are provoked, these emotions may rush out, sometimes overwhelming the recipient.

Having your Moon in the 8th House, you are likely to have great capacity for caring about and nurturing those with whom you are close.

Inseguridades

As an individual with your Moon in the 8th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will fear the unknown and its power. You will fear becoming absorbed and annihilated by the unknown. Therefore, you protect yourself from it by submitting, unthinkingly, to conditioning and taboo. Despite your defense mechanisms, having your Moon in the 8th House, you are still likely to have an intense emotional reaction when confronted by death, power or sexuality, particularly when these experiences occur outside of the realm permitted by society’s taboos. You may react obsessively or neurotically, you may become emotionally protective and defensive or you may emotionally overcompensate. With your Moon in the 8th House, you may also try to use emotion as a tool or weapon to control and gain power over the situation.

Enfoque del desarrollo emocional

With your Moon in the 8th House, you are likely to develop emotionally through introspection and dealing with intimate situations.
