I've been called "aloof" before. I thought I must be displaying my Cap moon when someone said to me once, "You talk about things that are really emotional in such a detached way. It's good in one way because it makes you level-headed and you don't get carried away likes some people, but it can also make you seem insensitive."

I think that sums up Cap moon pretty well. I'm not very "showy" emotionally, and get uncomfortable around people who are. It's not that I see it as weakness, but as a powerful force that can be destructive to oneself and others (my Moon is square Pluto).

Cap Moon is awesome, by the way. Embrace the goat in you.

I AGREE! My cappy Moon has helped me persevere through many trials, as well as keeping my Sag Sun & Leo Rising grounded. Being in the 6th house, I actually enjoy my job---so I am PROUDof my cap Moon

The description of the Moon i this placement may not be inaccurate, but to blanket assume that this is the nature of everyone with their natal Moon in this place, is wrong. House placement and aspects matter and probably other factors I haven't thought of. 3rd house/sq. Puto. I worry a lot, I'm certainly not as cool as I'd like to be or may appear at times. I might lack some of the depth also associated with Capricorn Moon, but I'm very intense and passionate, probably due to the Square to Pluto. Also, Moon Conj. Mercury. I've just realized that I appear far more emotionally expressive to others than I thought; I convey emotions pretty well and for years I thought people had to listen to me, to have an idea of how I feel because I've always been confident in my ability to verbalize feelings. But I've been told that especially the upper part of my face is very emotive.

I can't understand why people think I'm hearthless just because I don't show what I'm feeling. It's quite the contrary inside! my mood can be boosted easily to and fro by sensitive expierences; while I keep calm outside, it's not like I want to wear a mask, but its molten with my face...Indeed I don't bottle my heavy feelings, instead I face them assertively and share them with the right people.

For me, moon in capricorn can be a emotional stabilizing position when you have dominant planets in water signs, it makes you stronger against negative stimulation.
