Sun in Cancer, Moon in Capricorn

Softness and firmness live side by side in you, along with a love of home and family and a strong pull toward work. Your surroundings can lead you to make sweeping changes in your life. You are more likely to change your goals than your way of acting. Your family, the lives of your loved ones, your home and family values matter a great deal to you, and you always weigh your own direction in life against the wishes of the people close to you. You are not one to rush forward, you often prefer to stay in the background, and you have little wish to take center stage. This comes from not quite trusting your own abilities, since you are sensitive, reserved and careful, and giving yourself credit for what you have done can help. You make decisions slowly, looking back at what has come before. Still, recognition for your work matters to you more than you let on, and your patient, careful effort has a quiet way of earning it.

You always take into account your family's interests, your own safety and that of your loved ones, and the money side, because material stability means peace of mind to you. You carry your decisions out with persistence, patience, remarkable dedication and careful planning. You like to make plans, and they are real, down-to-earth plans with no castles in the air. You structure them, set yourself deadlines and instructions, and then follow them without stepping back an inch. Generosity does not come easily to you, because you are very thrifty and careful with money, sometimes to the point of holding back too much. You look to the future with caution and prefer to work hard now. You have great respect for professionalism and try to reach it in your own field. Career growth attracts you, and you can feel torn between family and work.

You like to rest in a calm, romantic, cozy place where your loved ones are. It helps to have water nearby, since it brings you balance and calm. You also relax in a work setting and when you are planning a strategy for the future. You give little importance to food and sleep as needs of the body. When you are busy working, you may skip a meal without much regret, and it is worth remembering that your body keeps your work going too.

At home you can be quite strict, giving orders in a military style and keeping a clear, watchful eye on what everyone in the household does. A softer tone at home can bring you closer to the people you love. You have great stamina and concentrate well. You show your emotions in a dry, restrained way, even though at heart you are a romantic.

What you plan and what your heart asks for can pull you in different ways. At times you may lack drive and energy.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a love of home and family, caring and thrift, and he is often attracted to a partner who is serious, responsible, reliable and focused on a career. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting quite hard and brings a certain tension and stiffness to her behavior, and she is drawn to a partner who is gentle, romantic and enjoys home life.
