Cap moons, why so cold?

The other day a tragical accident happened near me. Man 40yrs old, lost his life getting stuck in a mortar machine at a petfood company. Attempting to pick up his phone, sadly his own responsibility having no alarm headset on, he got stuck. I'll spare the details. Leaving behind his wife and 4 kids. I was devastated, wondering how his loved ones would cope with their loss, especially these young kids, wife getting no calls during breaks or his goodnights on nightshifts. No more suppers all together. They were kind of unstable though, husband and wife.

I told my Cap moon friend. Her reaction kinda shocked me..'wow that's sad, well..I guess we all die at some point, are they going to sue the company though?'

Really? 😢 She has a point, but it felt like I couldn't sense any sympathy it's like she almost shook off death itself. Is it really your Cap moon speaking or do you fear the emotion fear: fear of death perhaps?

Cap moons...even more insensitive than Cap suns...

I want to be cap mooners..

I agree with what others said that we tend to show our concern/sympathy through actions. But I am one of those Capricorn moon who is overly sensitive especially in such situations. OP I think the same way as you said about the diseased ones and that how they are going to live without him and all.

House placements and other aspects in the natal chart are to be blamed for the in compassionate behavior. Capricorn moon makes a person extremely sensitive (Even more than a Capricorn sun) we just don't feel like expressing our emotions to everyone as No one can understand the true intensity of our emotions so we prefer to keep them bottled up inside in order to appear strong at least from the outside.

I have my Cap moon in the 12th house, and I simply DON'T do the feels well. They can get seriously out of control if I entertain them. So generally speaking, I keep them in check whenever possible. If I let them out, they not only overwhelm me, but those whom I've exposed them to. Only a very few people have been able to deal and accept the depth of my emotional outbursts, and I treasure them for it.

I don't think of her as cold though. I bet my money if I'd ever get lost in China with no way of coming back myself she'd be there to pick me up.

I'm not overly emotional either it's just her reaction that really surprised me. Just like Nepal earth quake, I've donated couple bucks so I asked if she did the same. She'd rather raise an orphan as prove she did right then sending money not knowing if half is really going where it belongs.

You all are good at retreating it seems, for months if needed. I'm the type that needs to go out to proces anything negative be it the movies or shopping etc. Don't be so hard on yourself 🙂

I would say cap moons are even more SENSITIVE than cap suns because moon operates on a more deeper level

If you don't think of her as cold, then why use the word cold in the topic of the thread?

Hmmmm.....
either you really do think it's cold, or you're backtracking after getting some input.

In all reality, we will die. Me, you, your neighbor, your coworker....God is in control of our destiny and he has the final say of the when. There's nothing we can do about it. The way to get through it is to celebrate that person's life and focus on all the good they did with it. We each has a purpose that only God knows and when that purpose is fulfilled, God takes us home.

Sure, it's sad for the survivors. We grieve for ourselves not the person who is gone. The person who is gone is in Heaven and in a much better place.

So, in all practicality, why get so sadly emotional - we should celebrate death.


Unless...you don't believe in God. Those are the one's who fear death and focus on the sorrow of it.


Say what you want about religion, but it sure is comforting to think of the positive aspect than the sorrow.

Anyway, back to the question. The cap probably feels empathy and compassion for the family, probably hopes the death wasn't painful...but reality is, this is what happened, tears won't change what happened. (Fact). What is the next move? What do we do now? (Plan).

That ^^ is the essence of cap moon.

Sorry, I took the long way getting there, but I got all my thoughts out.

I don't see the point of harping on something negative.

If I do process the negative, I find some way to turn it into something positive. What can I gain from this experience. Then, lets make a plan and move on.

Ok so I have a cap moon and I understand I can come off like I do not have compassion or I'm insensitive, but that is the farthest thing from the truth. On top of that I have an aries sun....So anyway,I have a capricorn moon with the moon in first. Cap moons do not feel the need to show their emotions but understand and process the situation so they can feel the emotion inappropriately. Personally, as a capricorn moon, I have a fear of not only showing emotion outwardly, but showing the "wrong" form of emotion at a specific time. Capricorn is also the sea goat....the tail is submerged in the water, you cannot see it, but it's there. Just because we react differently to certain situations, doesn't make us any more or less compassionate. The thing that irritates me, especially from water signs, is when a someone thinks he/she knows what true emotional expression entails. A person's projection, doesn't necessarily represent what they embody. I see this all the time with Capricorn suns too...people think they know who they are or how they are feeling, but it's the complete opposite. Capricorn moons handle their emotions in a cardinal way....meaning they like CONTROL. OP, I understand your feelings towards your friend, but you cannot assume the person is cold and lacks empathy just because he/she does not react the same way you do. Our emotions run deep, we just don't show them right away, or to just anyone. It has nothing to do with a fear OF emotion itself, or a fear of death. Its the fear of not understanding the emotion, so I take the time to process it. Also the word is tragic...tragical is not a word -_-.

It is not a cold response. She was just thinking two steps further already, in light of this tragedy.

Why should she even feel sad or sentimental about the death of a most likely total stranger?

Things like this just prove again and again, life is what it is.

"Capricorn moons can be very supportive to friends and family during crisis situations, they're just better at helping friends out in tangible and practical ways rather in emotional matters. Cap moons just want to find a solution to an issue instead of constantly having to deal with the emotions that come from them. They're more interested in solving a problem than crying about it which is something that all three of the Earth moon signs seem to have in common. "

This is something I can relate to. Very much.

In times of grief we all should be strong, panic or making somebody panic set aside, not remind the family of the pain. What's important is how we can help the person in need.

Maybe we're just not fond of talking about other people's lives, we do sympathize, not very well expressed though. If talking about it would help, why not. But I think they need more help than that. Action first before reacting.
