Interpretation

The Moon in Capricorn is in detriment — emotions are felt deeply but expressed rarely. You learned early that vulnerability has a cost, and you manage your emotional life with the same discipline you apply to everything else. The danger is emotional repression and the belief that feelings are weaknesses. The gift is extraordinary emotional resilience.

Essential Dignity: Detriment

Moon is in detriment in Capricorn. The planet operates in a sign opposite its domicile, creating discomfort and the need for creative adaptation. The energy is present but must work harder to express itself.
