Sun in Aries, Moon in Capricorn

You bring together qualities that seem hard to combine: a hunger for the new and a love of constancy, strong emotion and restraint. Your remarkable energy is focused and goes exactly where you direct it. To carry out your creative plans, you need independence and time. You start new things easily, yet you calculate and plan everything in advance. Other people's reactions make little impression on you, and often you simply don't notice them, though paying a little attention to them can make your path smoother.

People trust you because of your enthusiasm and optimism. You lead by your own firm convictions, and you can be uncompromising about them. Your instructions are always clear, and you make sure they are carried out. Your decisions are courageous, daring and independent, and you carry them out with persistence, patience and remarkable dedication. Your fiery, impulsive side is held within a frame, and it shows only in measured ways.

Your energy keeps pushing you forward, toward ever greater skill and ever higher steps on the career ladder.

You long to live and create, and you do it best within well-planned activity. You are straightforward and open, ambitious, loyal and steady. The optimism that draws people to you has a real, practical basis. Those close to you know that you can sometimes feel low and worn out, although it never lasts long. You tend to show your emotions in a dry, restrained way, though now and then your feelings come out with great force.

You like very active rest, with movement and hard physical effort. You also relax at work, or while planning a strategy for the future. Other people's experience matters little to you, and you prefer your own way, yet deep down you appreciate the rules you set for yourself, and following them makes you feel more at ease. You are natural and sincere in everything you do, and others can always rely on you. When you work hard you may skip dinner without much regret, and a regular meal is worth keeping in your plan.

You tend to organize your care for others according to a plan you have made in advance. Sudden changes of plan for reasons beyond your control make you uncomfortable.

At home you can be firm and like to keep your household in order, handing out tasks and checking that they are done on time, and leaving a little room for the rhythm of others can make home warmer. What you set out to do and what you need inside often pull against each other. You may also lack some flexibility, and learning to bend a little when plans change can help you.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a strong will, and he is often drawn to a partner who is serious, responsible, reliable and devoted to a career. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting take real effort and may bring a certain stiffness and reserve to her manner, and she is drawn to a man who is very independent, active and confident.
