Hi neshand. While this doesn't apply to everyone with such an emphasis, an emphasis on the earth and water elements can reflect a predisposition towards anxiety. These elements seek a sense of containment and sustenance, where as fire and air are more interested in the freedom to realise new possibilities. Of course air and fire have their own fears, and earth and water are very creative in their own ways, but nonetheless, earth and water tend are more prone to feelings of insecurity.
According to Greene, in 'Dynamics of the Unconscious' (highly recommended), Scorpio and Capricorn are particularly prone to depression. These are the strongest signs in your chart, and having Saturn on the mid-heaven adds to the Capricorn emphasis because there is an affinity between Capricorn and Saturn.
In order to get information from your chart which can potentially be useful to you, we can look at the general 'process of becoming' associated with each of these signs, looking at which factors are in these signs to make the interpretation more relevant to you. We can also look at other relevant features of the chart, Like the square aspect between Moon and Saturn, the square between Sun and Chiron, and the placement of Venus in Pisces, as well.
Perhaps the first thing to note about Capricorn and Scorpio is that they are the most southerly of the yin signs (the yin signs being the signs of the earth and water elements). This means that you have a keen sense of your relationship to the collectives, groups and other 'greater wholes' of which you are part.
Scorpio is a water sign, and has a natural inclination to bind with others on a feeling level. Where there is insecurity, feelings of great vulnerabiliy can arise. Because we are so vulnerable to suffering on a feeling level, strongly Scorpio people often feel disempowered because they feel unable to maintain a sense of well-being. Having a sense of being bound to others on a feeling level means that one is not in control of what one feels. The Moon represents the function within the psyche that we use to adjust our position from moment to moment so that we maintain our connection with sources of protection and sustenance. This is an instinctive process, and if our instincts have become too fearful and self-protective, the Moon can generate excessive and unproductive anxiety. When the Moon is on the ascendant, these issues colour one's general sense of what it means to be an individual in this world. When this is all happening in Scorpio, an intense sense of vulnerability and powerlessness can colour one's sense outlook on life. This isn't a permanent trait, however, because feelings and instincts transform when they are allowed into consciousness and witnessed. There is a brilliant video on You Tube by Eckhart Tolle, called something like, 'The Most Powerful Video on Spirituality', which is worth watching for guidance in this witnessing.
With Uranus also on the ascendant and conjunct the Moon, there is a sense that your Uranian need for experimentation will have a very strong bearing on how the above is experienced. Scorpio seeks consolidation through its intimate encounters with others and with life, but Uranus feels life the truth must be found at all costs, and that one shouldn't settle into a rut. Scorpio is also a deeply transformative sign because once we have surrendered control through the experience of intimacy, energy is released and we are changed. But in so far as Scorpio is afraid of being out of control, there may be tension between a part of you that needs change and a part of you that needs to protect yourself against traumatic upheaval. Some with this combination of factors may act as a catalyst for change in the world around them, perhaps finding that they go from one situation of upheaval to another. If you are depressed, it could be that your Uranus needs are being suppressed, so you may only experience its external manifestations.
Capricorn is an earth sign, which means that is adapts to life by focusing on the practical and the sensory, rather than by feeling its way along. So the earth element is much more boundaried than water, and more likely to try to be self-sufficient. But as a yin sign it needs to feel contained, and so it tries to organise and control the material world in order to provide such containment. As the most collectively-oriented of the earth signs, Capricorn experiences a need to use its organisational abilities in the service of some greater whole. Social awareness is strong, often leading to inhibition and an excessive sense of duty. But alongside that there is a sense of being separated from everything because of earth's strong sense of boundaries. Consequently there can be a sense that there is something useful to be done, but often also a sense that on is on one's own in achieving it, and this can be overwhelming and lead to not trying, or it can lead to overcompensation and/or an overly conformist approach. It is important that Capricorn faces fears and tries to do things, but also that solitude is used to get a sense of one's true integrity, so that the efforts are an expression of personal integrity rather than a need to live up to the expectations of others.
With Sun, Mercury and Mars in Capricorn, where you are with regard to this Capricornian process affects the your ability to shine as yourself and to work effectively with the world around you.
I'll have to carry on later, as I've run out of time for now...
