Hi there everybody!!!
I would like to know for those of you with a Cappy Moon (whether or not you are crabs), is it true you don't need a lot of affection? supposedly cappy mooners cand fend for themselves and are very thrifty emotionally.
Ive been reading about this a lot, since my boyfriend has this Moon, and it is not an easy one, and I'm trying to understand more about this placement...
We were talking about it and he admitted he can "last" for a long time without showers of affection, just a gesture, a text, a kiss will do it for him..
Im so different!!! I have a Sag Moon, for me it is all about having fun and enjoying life but his Cappy Moon is more severe, austere....
any insights?
I'd love to know opinions and experiences with those of you with this Moon or even in a relationship with somebody with it smile
Thanks!!!
I have a cap moon and I looooooooove affection! I will say though, that public displays of affection feel foreign and slightly uncomfortable. Actually, I would say that physical expression is a lot easier for me than verbal. If I'm in a bad mood I really don't like talking about it until I feel ready to do so. I have to push myself to be more open. I've had experiences in the past, mostly with aries guys who had a really tough time reading me because they were used to girls being all over them. I tend to be more sarcastic and a bit aloof.
Thanks Cancergem!!
I know my Crab loves affection but he doesn't need it as much as me! Im a romance junkie (Im a Fish)...do you come off as cold or reserved to others? My guy seems cold on the exterior and aloof but once I got to know him he is not at all..I can tell there are so many feelings underneath bubbling...yet he makes an effort not to show them too much..he is quite reserved with his feelings....though he is not so expressive facially he is very physical and you are right, not so expressive with words (oral yes but not written maybe) but in person and physically he gives it all...
it is an interesting placing since Capricorn and Cancer are opposites, an astrologer told me that the shell in the crab plus the "bunker" in the Cappy mooners makes the person build many walls, is this true for you?
By the way, Cancergem, you have exactly the same placements as my Crab!
He also has
Sun Cancer
Moon Capricorn
Mercury Cancer
Venus Leo

interesting!!! Id love to know more about Venus in Leo if you can tell me how you behave when in love...thanks dear!!! smile
Hi. smile
I am a Cancer Sun, with a Capricorn Moon and Ascendant. Venus is in Leo, Mercury in Cancer, and Mars in Gemini. It might be the Venus in Leo, but I find that I enjoy being showered with affection and chased by a love interest, but it all comes down to timing with me (and the mood I am in). The interest has to be mutual too. smile Some signs are able to pick that up real fast; My Piscean ex, for example, was good at that. He'd always ask me when it would be okay for him to call, or he would let me know in advance if he was going to call. He seemed to intuitively know when was the right time to approach me, etc.
Personally, I do not like being overwhelmed and rushed. Nonetheless, I myself, have my impulsive moments. Sounds a bit confusing, eh? Well, it's a Cancer thing! Big Grin Honestly, I do like getting text messages, or offline messages -- these give me time to reply at my own leisure. I might not reply right away, but I will eventually.
When it comes to phone calls though, it's another story. Hearing a person's voice from time to time does make me feel closer to them but it is again a matter of mood and timing. I am quite vocal about everything but my feelings. Expressing emotions vocally is hard for me. I'm odd like that. I can write my feelings down and express them that way, but it's harder for me to talk about them in person. I read how The Crab is a creature that lacks vocal cords, which is why it's harder for Cancerians to express how they feel vocally. I find that I express my feelings better in writing and physically (hugs, holding hands, etc). So yea, I have been known to be very blunt about my feelings in writing to very evasive in person (vocally). It's really hard to even say "I like you" or "I love you". It comes out sounding awkward to me, or I get hesitant, and clam up. Tongue
Interestingly also, whenever people phone me out of the blue and I happen to be busy, I feel slightly irritated. Honestly, I do like keeping in touch, and knowing what the other person is up to but I have my own pace. One text. One email (doesn't have to be long). One offline message. I'm fine with all that, as long as it's not like too intrusive.
I'd also like to point out that I must really feel comfortable with the person to even express my feelings in writing, and physically, and it does take a while for that barrier to come down. Another time that happens is when I've bottled things way too much and it needs an outlet. Like a pressure cooker, if you will. Tongue However, that barrier goes back up just as fast as it went down, especially if I feel vulnerable. Defense mechanism, I guess?
Indeed, people have told me that I come off as reserved and aloof, at times. Must be the Cappy Ascendant in my case! One friend once said to me that she thought I was arrogant/snobbish when she first saw me --that was before we got to know each other. The very first time we got talking, she told me that she was amazed I could be this friendly. Tongue Again, it all comes down to the mood I'm in. When I'm in a good mood, I smile, I am chatty, and I seem more approachable to others. When I'm in a bad mood, then I go silent, and I can come off as distant, and cold.
Sandee!! smile
YOu sound like my guy, feminine (and really beautiful smile version!
When I first saw him I never really paid attention to him because he indeed seemed arrogant and full of himself. As I don't like this type of guys, I never even looked at him on purpose (although I found him very attractive)
We met in the gym, I always thought he only cared about his body and stuff and never bothered to even say hi.
After a few months, I was selling some numbers for a raffle (for an animal shelter I help at) and he came immediately offering to buy a number, and also offering his van if I needed to transport food or stuff to the shelter. I was really surprised! and then he told me he was studying to become a psychologist...so I was even more surprised! He seemed the typical narcissist who did nothing but look at himself in the mirror! but I was mistaken....
He does fit your way, completely. He has his moods and his timing...he does say I love you verbally and in texts, but not ALL the time.
He takes his time to reply to texts but he loves to get them and he likes being called (if he is busy he doesn't answer, at first it bugged me, then he told me to leave a message so he could call me back immediatley when he was free, but not to call him 3 times in a row because if he hadnt answered meant he couldnt for a reason)
I completely get the barrier stuff. He lowers his but can also put it up again if defensive for a reason.
He has a temper, too! specially when he gets "jealous" thinking I stared at somebody at the gym (which is only his imagination) Winking

Your words have helped me a lot understand him better, we've been together more than 7 months now and I feel things are growing slowly (I wish it was faster, but I respect his pace)...
If I had a wish to change something about him, it would be to make him more expressive and not so controlled....but I guess nobody's perfect!!
I'm cancer sun/cap moon/leo rising.
I have a huge social presence outside all my walls. I love to have fun and get other people to loosen up and enjoy themselves. But only to a point. The rest of me I keep pretty well hidden. I can do well without lots of affection, unless I'm in a relationship. Then I expect that person to let down their guard so I can too.
I'm the same as Sandee when it comes to expressing myself more in writing. I can think my thoughts through better, hone what I mean. In person or on the phone I get kind of self-conscious, especially with people I like.
I tend to try to intuit people's level of involvement with me and mirror that so as not to show more 'like' than they do.

Exactly true of my Crab, he copies me allthe time.
Ive found that his Cappy Moon and his Taurus rising (all that earth) make him work so much and he doesn't let himself have pleasure so much , he always puts his responsibilities first.
He is also serious and sometimes pessimistic.
He cares so much about financial security.
He is very much home oriented and doesn't like travelling .
He is very thrifty ...
Veryh private, reserved...
I could go on..
thanks for the info!
Cappy Moon here??_Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Rising??_also Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer.
Oh how I love affection, warmth, tenderness and touch with the one(s) I love??_of course, laughing and fun too, I did say Sag Rising. LOL I??m a very, huggy person to friends and relatives.
Regarding that Capricorn Moon??_I can see and feel how it has influenced me over time in thinking that I was ???staying strong?? by not always expressing my emotions, or what I was truly feeling to someone. With both sun and moon earth signs??_there??s a part of me that feels like it really ???must?? stay grounded and not allow my emotions to always be expressed, or take control, or run amuck??_why, that would be ???messy and not at all fun?? UGH...LOL??_oh yes, must keep that grounded and rational approach. But, that??s certainly not a reflection of what I might be feeling on the inside (that??s changing as I get older??_finding more balance there in expressing my feelings.) I most definitely like and need my ???space,?? both physically and emotionally.
And subsequently, when one is doing that??_meaning not expressing their true feelings, and is ???holding back?? or ???holding in?? their emotions??_it seems sort of natural that being less affectionate at times, would be a by-product of it.
Darn it??_it sure is a lot of work, being conscious of oneself and one??s actions!!! LOL
Thanks so much for your insight!
You do have that Sag Rising, which compensates!
My Crab has his sun in Cancer and Cappy moon, very opposite signs and struggling between expressing and withholding...
I naturally express myself (Pisces sun, Sag moon) lots of air in my chart...he doesnt.
It does get complicated sometimes but fortunately we can talk about it ..
thanks smile
