What makes a Capricorn suppress they're feelings and how can you help them explore them?

Is it healthy for a Capricorn to explore they're feelings or is it unnatural and could have a negative effect?

The highest expression of Capricorn is Cancer.

I don't think Capricorns suppress their feelings; I think the majority of them prefer logic and practicality over faulty emotions – but that does not mean they don't feel.

Can you help one embrace they're feelings? Or would that be wrong? My Cap friend told me she has feelings but doesn't explore them, she just acknowledges they're there.

No, I can't help you.

I don't think it's wrong to help someone embrace their feelings, but in the end they decide if they want to feel or not.

Saturn is very restrictive and seriuos and thinks prior to acting.

I have sun conjunct Saturn and I'm serious and I'm a thinker and I'm very boundry like. Saturn is about borders, and being conservative and thinking ahead and planning ahead.

No I do not think your friend has no emotions. It would be helpful to see her natal chart though to better help.

Capricornians are very emotional, but they try hard to keep their feelings in check. Best to let them do so!

As someone who has Sun and Moon in Capricorn, I will express my feelings when and how I choose to and anyone who tries to make me express my feelings in a way that's unnatural for me or who won't respect my emotional expression will never get very close to me.

It's not often a problem, because I have some aspects to my Moon that makes me quite intense and passionate, but my emotional expression is quite verbal and some don't see that as emotional expression and I'll feel like I've shared too much and wall up again.

I have Moon square Pluto and a very wide orb between my Moon and Mercury so some consider the 10,17 degrees a conjunction because it involves one of my luminaries while others don't because they're very strict about the orb they allow for a conjunction between planets, even between Sun or Moon

It's not often a problem, because I have done shifts to my Moon that makes me quite intense and passionate, bit my emotional expression is quite verbal and some don't see that as emotional expression and I'll feel like I've shared too much and wall up again.

I have Moon square Pluto and a very wide orb between my Moon and Mercury do some consider the 10,5 degrees a conjunction because it involves one of my luminaries while others don't because they're very strict about the orb they allow for a conjunction between planets, even between sun or Moon

If your Moon and Mercury are both in Cap, I would consider it a Conjuntion, but otherwise not.

Still working on this myself, but there's a 3 dimensional consideration as well--Declination (how close the orbital-planes of, in this case, the Moon and Mercury) are to one another. Can you check that? If they're within 2 degrees, it strengthens their relationship.

I wouldn't know how and I still don't understand declination. I think there's some chart on astro.com that lists it, but I can't remember which. Just tell me which site, chart and sub category/boxes you'd like me to check, and I'll look into it within the next few days (though Mon-Wed. will be hectic).

I tried to post a couple of charts on my profile, but that didn't go too well.

Declination is listed in the Ephemeris, in a subsection. If you're an amateur star-gazer, declination will enable you to locate stars and planets using "right ascension", which gives location by the 24 hour clock (adjusted for time zones). For Astrological purposes, you can simply compare the degree of declination for the Sun, Moon, and planets--if they're within 2 degrees of one another either N or S of the Celestial Equator, they're in parallel. For example, Jupiter and Neptune (both in the Piscean-rulership category) are currently in close S. Parallel, and Venus and Mars are in N. Parallel. Any parallels with the Sun are ALSO parallels with any points measured along the Ecliptic, (which is our Zodiacal plane of reference), including the Ascendant and the nodes. :cool:

Not a Cap sun but I got Capricorn Stellium of major planets. To be honest, I'm not emotionless. I carry values & certain amount of substantiality in my emotions.

Capricorn is the Emotional Earth-sign, as signified by the "goatfish". It's prone to emotional instability, and keeps it together by keeping emotions under control as much as possible. Capricorn imparts qualities of seriousness, sincerity, and consideration for the needs of the "self", while maintaining real, personal concern for the needs of others as well. Always cautious, because Saturn is always on its case.

I'll probably have to re-read this and have this browser window open if I try to look these things up. Also, dyscalculia doesn't help with the mathematical part of astrology.:sad:

It's more about visual geometry than numbers. Orbits are like flat plates ("planes"). When they line up, they occupy the same area of space, and that's when they're "parallel". The Zodiac is measured along the plane of Earth's orbit, but because we're measuring FROM Earth as it orbits the Sun, it APPEARS to be the Sun's orbit, and we treat it as such. The Moon is somewhat different, because it's orbiting the Earth itself, which in turn is orbiting the Sun.

I have my Moon in Capricorn int eh 8th house. I am not emotionless. I do feel 'blocked' at times from easily expressing my deep emotions. And sometimes others might mistakenly believe I am stoic or 'unemotional' at times. I do not always react in the moment.

My mother is a double Pisces and my husband has a water grand trine. I am always impressed with the way they can instantly express their feelings about something. Their tears flow while mine do not always do so, AT THAT TIME.

It takes me longer to process something emotionally. I tend to wake up in the middle of the night, and cry or worry anxiously, after the criers have gone to sleep. :ninja:

I'm a Capricorn and I know many also... we are very emotional but are really good at keeping it together because we have responsibilities and feel we have to.

No...

I'm a Capricorn with Moon, Mars, Pluto 8th house Scorpio. Emotionless just does not describe us.

All of these signs are real big groups with lots of different variant combinations. My advice is to learn more about the signs and what makes them different as well as similar. Very rarely does someone have majority of planets in addition to the Sun in one sign. A stellium of 4 planets is considered a crowd. We are all muts.

Despite being a Capricorn, all four of my angles are ruled by Jupiter and Mercury (Pisces, Sag, Virgo, Gemini). So, you see, each case is unique and it is whole-chart dependent.
