Moon In Capricorn Traits
Reserved
The moon in Capricorn, as an earth moon, naturally keeps their emotions to themselves. This makes them appear very distant from other people since they reserve much of who they are. The Capricorn moon would also much rather spend time alone and stay focused on their material goals than express their feelings to a loved one.
Committed
Capricorn moons are some of the most dedicated and committed people you will meet. These people are emotionally fulfilled by having a clear direction and set of goals, however big or small they may be.

Responsible

Cold

The Capricorn Moon is practical and realistic with the goals they set for the most part. However, Capricorn moons can almost be too realistic at times and this can lead them to never let loose or keep themselves constrained.
