Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing, and let me tell you, it’s a rabbit hole. Today, I decided to focus on understanding what it means to have an Aries Moon and a Capricorn Sun. I’m no expert, just a curious explorer, really.
Getting Started
First, I needed to actually figure out what my signs even were. I mean, I knew my birthday, duh, but the moon sign? No clue. So, I hopped on, you know, one of those birth chart calculator. Input my birth date, time, and place, and bam! There it was staring back at me: Aries Moon, Capricorn Sun.
Digging into the Meanings
Next step, I started searching up what each of these signs actually means. Separate from the other.
- Capricorn Sun: I skimmed through a bunch of descriptions. “Responsible,” “disciplined,” “ambitious,” “reserved” – yeah, some of that resonated, some of it… not so much. I definitely have that drive to achieve things, but I wouldn’t exactly call myself “reserved.”
- Aries Moon: This one was interesting. “Fiery,” “impulsive,” “passionate,” “independent.” Okay, now this felt a bit more like my inner world. I definitely feel things intensely, and I’m not afraid to go after what I want, even if it’s a bit… reckless sometimes.
- Aries moon in the 10th house.The emotions are projected in the career, and the career might be very competitive and there might be a need to be number 1.
The Contradiction?
Then I did a simple search for “Aries Moon Capricorn Sun,” and that’s where things got really juicy. It’s like, these two energies are almost… opposites! The Capricorn Sun is all about slow and steady progress, planning, and control, while the Aries Moon is like, “Let’s do it NOW! Consequences? What consequences?”
I started seeing how this plays out in my own life. Like, I might meticulously plan out a project (Capricorn Sun), but then get frustrated if things aren’t moving fast enough and just jump in headfirst, improvising as I go (Aries Moon). Or I might have this intense emotional reaction to something (Aries Moon), but then try to bottle it up and present a calm, collected exterior (Capricorn Sun). It is really a constant tug of war.
Putting it all Together
It’s not like I suddenly have all the answers now. But seeing these two sides of myself reflected in these astrological placements… it’s kind of eye-opening. It makes sense. It’s a bit like, “Oh, that’s why I do that!”
I’ve started to try and be more mindful. Using a little notebook I keep with me, to note how this contradiction shows up.
Like, when I feel that Aries Moon urge to just go, I try to pause and ask myself if it aligns with the bigger picture, the Capricorn Sun plan. And when I feel that Capricorn Sun tendency to overthink and get stuck in analysis paralysis, I try to tap into that Aries Moon fire and just take some kind of action, even if it’s imperfect.
It has really felt like a journey of self-discovery. Still figuring it all out, but it’s been a fun and insightful ride so far!
