Cappy mood cycles? Can anyone explain?

It's simple. Most astrology books pigeon-hole Caps as an Earth sign (ie stable, calm, etc). But in truth, Caps are half-Earth, half-Water (Mer-Goat). That means they are sometimes very logical & steady (like Earth) and sometimes very deep & emotional (like Water). It means they get pulled at by BOTH directions (sometimes logical/sometimes emotional).

They also seem to have several other ancient signs associated with them (eg Unicorn, Alligators, Pan--the Greek God who loved having sex with multiple nymphs in the forest, The Devil (their tarot symbol), Pegasus- the winged-horse that can fly, among others. I think I also read somewhere that Capricorn is also associated with a mythical predatory Eagle (no, not the same as scorpio). It had some wierd Greek name that translated into "Swooping Eagle" or something but I forgot what that name was (hey, it was all greek to me 😛 )

In short, it's hard to pin down these markers. That poker face is hard to read (sometimes). They seem to have many faces.

Beo, all you had to do was ask people to look for any random post by you on your posting history 🙂 they are all the same anyway.

My mother always joked that her ex Cappy would walk in the restroom laughing and joking and then absolutely pissed when he walked out. She would always be like wtf happened that fast? Lol

I always say that its a reason cancer and capricorns are opposite and its not because they are different. More of the same just on different ends of the spectrum, or expressed differently. We are extremely moody. Even at times when its not visible we may be battling something inside. The thing I envy about water signs is that they seem to have a better understanding of what triggers their moods. I sometimes feel as though I absorb the negative energy around me.

This can also be why many caps are unsatisfied in relationships. Maybe there's a different partner needed for each mood lol. Its rare to find someone to ride the waves with us, and its also rare to find someone to be able to cheer us up when we are down. I know its extremely difficult to deal with Caps, especially the males, when they are in their zone of being depressed.

I have noticed this behavior cycle with my cap guy friend. Is this a cap thing or is it his dreaded aqua in venus, mars & merc? What is the best way to handle the steps he goes thru to build on our relationship? How can I stop #5?

1-Generally shy but talks about some stuff but is still guarded and secretive (I don't pry and let him share what he wants to)
2-Outgoing/talkative/proud/playful/almost giddy (this surprises me and catches me off guard but makes me smile laugh)
3- Flirty/sweet/lots of eye contact (I like, and give it back but I am pretty shy)
4- Quiet/uninterested/doesn't want help with anything (I try to make conversation but usually give up)
5- No eye contact or talk/acts like I am dead to him (I hate this! wonder what I did wrong? Why does he do this? Has he decided to retreat because he let me get to close or he feels foolish? (I just leave him alone because he can get rude and that hurts)

I think
1. when shy, there is something that didn't fit right and he's not sure if it's going right by his standards. I think that's why he is shy.
2. He is comfortable with himself and you and there is a mood or a feeling of ease. The critical part is off for a while and he can just be.
3. Very comfortable with you
4. He picked up on something that makes him wonder about things or sometimes there is something he wants to figure out, but not convinced it's going to work out. It doesn't necessarly have to do with you. Caps like to figure things out mentally as well as action wise. When we get like this we are frustrated with a situation and with our ability to deal with the situation.
5. Sometimes when we ignore like that we are in a very bad mood and we know we'll take it on you. So he knows that he will take it on you and he also know that he will feel bad, so silence and complete withdrawl seems like a good idea. I am not sure how #5 can be better. I think what you're doing is letting him have his own space is good until he figures it out.

I have always been the quiet too myself type but have adapted to the mix and mingle. Not that I don't like to be with people but it has to be the right people to really open up and be myself. People tend to take me the wrong way, I think that is also a cap trait. We can come off harsh when we are joking, nobody get's my jokes, haha. I think caps are moody, I know I am but usually there is something underneath it all. Something you could have said or done, has him analysing the situation. It doesn't have to be something big as we take notice of EVERYTHING. We will think things through in our head, it's not always best to say how we feel in our world. He's letting you know by his no eye contact something is bothering him though at that time he's probably not up for talking about it. Don't let his mood affect you because this is when you need to shine and show reassurance of your feelings for him. If you go down with him and pull away when he's in this mood, it will only create more doubt. Just be yourself until he is ready to open up. Your doing it right because if you start pushing when he's pulling it backfires.

I've got to admit...most of this was spot on for me. Good for you though, looks like you've figured out part of your Cap 😉. #5 is a killer, I can't even establish a baseline reason/motive behind this because Caps are so very different.

The no eye contact says it all for me, he's either hurt or evaluating something. I know it sucks but if you back him into a wall when his emotions are on "high" you will get hurt. When cornered we can become volatile with our words. Wait until he comes to his senses (in a better mood) and then tell him how it makes you feel. You'll have a better chance of him opening up vs lashing out. He could also be putting up the fear of getting hurt "wall" with you that other people have no reflection on, as far as your partnership...if that makes sense. We defiantly don't trust easily.
