As a Mom, with her Moon in Cap in the 8th, I feel the burden of defending your Mom with her Capricorn Moon...
I've made peace with Mum, it wasn't easy raising two daughters on her own. She was tough and she had a tough time with me. The Capricorn energy is also struggling with the emotional demands that Cancer and Pisces demands.
You are 100% correct, Capricorn demand structure, goals, direction. You can be as emotional as you want, just stand on your own two feet for petesake. Back straight when you cry. And what have you done to better your situation?
No one is going to help you if you don't start by helping yourself first. Admit your part in this problem, take responsibility.
Jesus, it felt like hell being treated like that so young. I had no idea why I was being yelled at when all I wanted was a kiss and hug, and comfort. She totally did that too, which I keep reminding my sister whenever she goes on her Mother Rants. She agrees, of course. That's what water signs need to remember when facing Earth. A solid reminder that you are not alone in this earth, so no victimisation please.
You cannot receive feeling 24/7, you need reality. Stop indulging in your misery and feelings, do something. Anything! Once you figure that out, life becomes so clear. And emotions stop becoming such a burden. I mistepped a lot, with Neptune in the 10th house, I'm wayward and a bit crazy. But she was always there, to push me to materialise, and when I figured how to do that on my own, she took a massive step back. Her job was done.
Like I said, my mother may have been critical of me when I was young, but my paitings and drawings are all over her house. She may still worry a lot about me, but she loves me. And she's happy that I've done something with my life, it's like her toughness did some good. I think I would've been a blown out alcoholic drug addled mess if I didn't get toughening up from such a young age. In my darkest times I went there, but I never toppled over because of that exposure of toughness and self preservation.
My mother would always say "play the game, don't let the game play you" if that's not a Cappy sentIment I don't know what is. Although there such a weird thing to say to a 9 year old....hahah
But yes your kids are lucky, you taught them self reliance.
And isn't that what Earth wants Water to do?
Find a home in me. Watch how your energy makes me grow. Don't just waste away down a gutter, materialise! Materialise!
