Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Cancer

You hold together qualities that seem worlds apart: firmness and softness, total devotion to work and a deep attachment to home and family. You are hardworking and steady, and you take a responsible approach to anything you undertake. You love your job, and you love your home and family just as much, and you are strongly bound to them. At times you feel torn between home and work, between duty and feeling, and giving each its own time can ease that pull. Your devotion to your work earns you respect. You respect professionalism and strive with all your strength to reach it in your field. Your ability to plan, organize and share out responsibilities is a true talent.

Your decisions are consistent, planned and methodical. Before you decide, you weigh everything and think it over a thousand times. You love planning and would like your whole life to follow a clear sequence of steps. Yet you carry out your decisions gently, with a fine sense of timing and of how others will respond. You are serious and solid, and you are not easily fooled. With the people closest to you, though, a completely different side of you appears. You are tender and sensitive, you have a gift for compassion and empathy, and you know how to soothe and comfort. Anything that touches your family moves you deeply. Your career is an important part of your life, and you climb steadily, slowly and surely, toward higher positions.

Rest in the usual sense does not appeal to you much, and you would rather work. Ideally you would combine your holidays with work, so that you always have something to do. You relax best in a warm, familiar and cozy home, surrounded by family and close friends. Being near water also helps you unwind. A full pantry gives you a quiet sense of security, and you always keep something put aside for a rainy day. You are very careful with money, sometimes to the point of holding back too much, and allowing yourself and others a little more generosity can feel freeing. You tend to see the darker side of things, and from time to time melancholy and low moods settle over you, so it is worth having people and places that help you find the light again.

Your mother has a strong influence on your inner world, and you are likely to keep a strong emotional bond with her throughout your life.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and it helps to listen to each in turn. Your energy and drive may sometimes run low, and gentle, regular movement can help.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a focus on career and professionalism, loyalty, responsibility and strong ambition, and he is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, romantic and emotionally warm. In a woman's chart, it brings out her softer, receptive side in a harmonious way, and she is drawn to a partner who is constant, purposeful, reserved, hardworking and principled.
