Moon's in Cap. It shocked me emotionally right after work Saturday evening. Not in a good way. I'd been getting things done easly with the Moon in Sagittarius, and hadn't bothered to check when it would ingress Capricorn, which is right when it mugged my mellow.
I hope people who have Moon in Capricorn natally learn how to ride with it better than me.
Hmmm... "Better than I" is the correct grammar, but it sounds stilted.
I'm sure I mentioned my mother before. She was Sun in Sagittarius, born 12/14/22 and probably the funniest person around. She took most everything with a grain of salt, seldom ever complained, even with a husband who drank and was not a nice person, and 2 daughters out of control in their teen years. She seemed to understand differences and was my constant source of wisdom.
Thats not to say she was without fault at all, but she was funny and most people in the neighborhood loved her for her immense generosity and goodness. It was a poor neighborhood (she was also a child during the Great Depression) and was use to poverty, BUT, she was also extremely grateful she had a good job at what eventually became later, AT&T as a long distance operator.
One Christmas eve, a local reporter came there and asked the operators how they managed not being home for Christmas Eve. She said (on TV),
"Oh I just love working during the holidays, helping the soldiers in Vietnam contact their loved ones back home" Well, she did have Mars in Pisces - conjunct "Fomalhaut" (one who is remembered) and she is missed by her entire neighborhood and beyond.
I once asked her best friend, Miss Josie with Sun in Taurus who was her age and also brought up during the Depression "how can you take it when she tells you off?" (which mom often did if Josie wasn't ready to go to go bowling or to the races on time,(she loved gambling and being a Sag, "the horses") and Josie said to me, "Your mom has a good heart"
So in other words, you ignore the slight flaws, and see the entire picture of a good hearted person. She raised with with platitudes like
"there but for the grace of God go I" but would never step foot into a church telling me how badly they treated her grandmother during the Great Depression when the Grandmother treated the church during the good times.
She paid however, for us to go to Catholic School although we didn't go to church very much except special occasions.
I learned most of everything good about me from watching her and seeing how she behaved.
Oh, and for Vedic Astrologers - I was told she had a Kesari Yoga (a Buddhist type) which sounds about right, but it was a "Laughing Buddha" with the big belly which I bought because it reminded me of her.
Kesari Yoga is when the Moon and Jupiter conjunct and for her, they were rising at her birth.
She use to say, "Canadians are like stuffed shirts - (her mother was from Quebec) and she meant her relatives in Canada), they are always "insulted" and she'd drag out the word i-n-s-u-l-t-e-d until she'd double over in laughter at her OWN joke.
I learmed early on, most people have egos that are easily bruised. Not just Canadians as she once said.
When she passed on, my husband cried and said,
"I just lost my best friend". I never saw him cry before. They shared the same sense of humor and secrets never shared with me too I think.
Both have Scorpio Rising.
Imagine, your mother in law, your bff.
