Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Capricorn

You combine traits that seem to contradict each other: a wish to reform and a love of stability, a democratic spirit and a strong urge to keep everything and everyone under control. You love freedom, you are independent, and you work very hard. On the one hand, you have the soul of a reformer, and taboos, restrictions, rules and dogmas rarely convince you. On the other hand, you feel quite at ease when your activities are clearly structured. You like to stand out, whatever it takes, since the main thing for you is not to be like everyone else. At the same time, a certain reserve and stiffness can show in your behavior. Your wish for change tends to grow out of respect for what works, so you would rather improve the existing order than overturn it, and people trust your firm sense of right and wrong.

You enjoy communication, and you know how to be a true friend. Every new person is like a book you want to read, drawing fresh ideas from it for your curious mind. You are serious, reliable and loyal. Your decisions often surprise others and sometimes even you, because you make them quickly, after a sudden flash of insight. Yet you carry them out with persistence, patience and remarkable dedication, and you plan carefully to reach your goals.

Career growth and true professional mastery attract you, and your dream is to become an expert in your field. You are generous and ready to help anyone who turns to you, though you tend to plan even the way you care for others.

In your free time you like to discover what you do not yet know, to look into the future and think about it, and friends and like-minded people are the perfect company for that. You relax in a working atmosphere and while building a strategy for the future. Food and sleep do not get much of your attention, and when you are busy you may skip a meal without much regret, though your body will thank you for a little more care. You tend toward a pessimistic view at times, and moments of melancholy and low mood can visit you, so it is worth giving yourself rest and the company of people who lift your spirits. Even though you see a free individual in every person, at home you can take on the role of a commander, handing out tasks and checking that they are done, and leaving your family a bit more room can make home feel lighter for everyone.

You express your emotions in a dry, restrained way, and stormy displays of feeling can seem strange to you. Your conscious aims and your deeper wishes can point in different directions. At times you may doubt yourself or hold your feelings back, and listening to both sides is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a freedom-loving character, a need for friends and like-minded people, original behavior and a democratic outlook. He is often drawn to a partner who is serious, responsible, reliable and focused on a career. In a woman's chart, adapting to others may take real effort and a certain reserve and stiffness can show in her manner, and she is drawn to a partner who is independent, sociable and analytical, looks to the future and keeps a certain unpredictability in what he does.

The classic view

Your ambition is important to you, but your honor more so, and if you had to sacrifice one or the other it would be your ambition.

Grant Lewi, Heaven Knows What (1935)
