From the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris; retrograde returns count as one stay. Swiss Ephemeris agrees: all within 7 seconds. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.
The Moon governs emotional nature — what you need to feel safe. In Capricorn, that function takes on ambition, structure and playing the long game — a Cardinal Earth expression ruled by Saturn.
Essential dignity
How tradition rates the Moon in Capricorn
Capricorn faces the Moon’s home, Cancer, across the wheel, so tradition puts it in detriment here: −5.
In practice
What it looks like in a person
Feelings are handled with self-control and a strong sense of responsibility. Emotional security comes from competence, planning and having things under control, and the person often deals with everyone else's problems before admitting to their own. The Moon is traditionally in detriment in Capricorn, which describes reserve rather than an absence of feeling. Achievement genuinely improves the mood, and a finished task can soothe more than a kind word.
From the outside
What other people notice first
Others notice reliability and maturity — often from childhood. This is the person trusted with keys, deadlines and difficult conversations.
At work
Dependable and ambitious; good at carrying weight without complaint, sometimes too good at it for their own health.
Under pressure
When things go badly
Under strain the person works harder and feels less. Emotional shutdown, pessimism, and treating every personal need as a weakness to manage are the usual risks.
Commonly overstated
What Moon in Capricorn does not mean
It does not mean emotionally cold. The reserve is protective, and people with this placement are often the most dependable people in a crisis.
The work
What this placement asks of you
Letting needs be seen as needs rather than problems to be solved alone.
