Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Aquarius

You combine qualities that seem completely at odds: a love of stability and a reformer's spirit, a wish to keep everything under control and a deeply democratic outlook. You are very hardworking, and work takes up a huge part of your life. Others respect you for your wholehearted commitment. You strive to become a true professional in whatever field you choose. You are responsible and dependable, and people can always count on you, because you do not let them down.

On the one hand, you are strongly drawn to authority, which gives you the ability to direct and oversee others. On the other hand, you are a democrat at heart and understand that every person is born free, owes nothing to anyone and cannot be forced into a mold. That is why you sometimes find it hard to decide how to act. Most likely you keep firm control at work and give your loved ones plenty of independence at home. Your decisions take the form of a carefully planned scheme in which every detail is foreseen and every deadline counted. You carry them out in original and unpredictable ways. You are truly one of a kind: you do not bow to authorities and you do not accept dogmas. You have your own independent opinion on everything and a very personal outlook on life. Despite a certain stiffness and reserve, you like to stand out and be different, and blending into the crowd is simply out of the question for you. At the same time, a practical, traditional streak runs through your choices, and you like a secure place among people you respect.

You prefer your time off to be combined with work whenever possible, so that you always have something to do, because for you idleness is the worst thing of all. You relax by spending plenty of time with friends and like-minded people, whose company you deeply need. You have great stamina and concentrate well, and sudden flashes of insight come to you often. Your intuition is very well developed, and you put it to practical use. You excel at abstract thinking, at seeing the general pattern and drawing logical conclusions. In relationships you need a certain distance and tend to hold your feelings in reserve, and allowing a few people past it can be a quiet joy. You are an altruist and will always help anyone who comes to you.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction. You may have less self-confidence than your abilities deserve and keep your emotions tucked away, and trusting yourself more is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination gives purpose, a focus on career growth and professional mastery, ambition and a certain stiffness of manner, 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 to others quite hard and brings a certain stiffness and restraint to her manner, and she is attracted to someone who is reliable, reserved, responsible and devoted to his work.
