Edgar Degas’s birth chart
Moon in Capricorn
19 July 1834, 20:30, Paris, France
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Edgar as “you”.
The position of the Moon is a very important point of one's personal horoscope. In contrast to the Sun, the Moon travels much faster. It makes the entire path through 12 signs in one Moon cycle (which lasts approximately 28 days) and so changes its influence much more quickly. However, because of its size and proximity, its influence is the strongest for some individuals.
The Moon in personal horoscope presents your subconscious self, your emotions and sensations. Its position describes how you react on a subconscious and intuitive level.
Of course the Moon position acts completely differently on someone who has the Sun in Aries that on someone who has the Sun in Cancer. That is why it's important that you keep other analyses in mind when reading the horoscope and try to harmonize all of them.
Moon in Capricorn
You are a very ambitious person. You are serious, reliable and responsible. You have trouble relaxing and trusting, because you think you can take best care of yourself. You don't like others interfering and meddling in your systems of doing things.
You have a very individualistic nature and you are sometimes difficult, because you expect others to follow your system, which is, understandably, the best and (most) perfected one. You have difficulty letting anything to chance. You always want to be the one pulling all the strings. You find it difficult to be in subordinate position and it is clear you want to have everything under control and are usually successful doing that.
You worry too much
You need to develop intuition, sentimentality and softness. You need a lot of love and attention, which were probably lacking in your childhood or you thought you had to fight for them with your own efforts.
You are definitely a person who makes things harder for yourself, because you don't bear defeat well. You have outstanding physical abilities, you don't resist nor fear intense exertion. You find it hard to relax.
Contact with soil and trees is very good for you. You love being near the water, because it refreshes you. You need a lot of peace, because you take a lot of interest in yourself. You like good, energetic food, full of vitamins, and should eat a lot of red or orange colored food (beads, carrots, cherries, plums, peaches, melons, etc.) and food containing minerals (mostly Ca, Fe and Mg). You may have problems with your spine, bones, teeth or eyes, but once you outgrow these problems, you strengthen and firm your body.
Moon in 12th house
You are a very sensitive, moody and changeable person with strong intuition and deep understanding for fellow man. That is why you do very well in medicine and social work. You have a very diverse subconsciousness and you dream a lot. For your creating, you need a lot of understanding and encouragement, also peace.
Moon as culminating planet
Because the Moon is your culminating planet, you are usually friendly and attractive to others. You like moving in artistic circles and often achieve success in these areas. You have a very good sense of people and also business and perhaps work also in commerce, catering or marketing. Although you are moody, you are loyal in business and usually reliable. You move a lot and have a lot to do with women or you work in a profession, which is very connected to women or is otherwise more feminine. In business, you often change things.
Moon inconjunct Mercury
Such position brings you a certain test of expressing emotions and adapting in relationships (especially relationships of emotional nature). You like talking and you talk a lot, you exaggerate, dramatize, you reactions to everything are over sensitive. You worry too much about superfluous things and trivialities, so you often have trouble seeing the essence. You often say something too quickly and then you are sorry, that is why it is useful for you to use ' method of writing letters' in such cases – pour your thoughts on paper and sleep on it, you can still send the letter later. ;)
Moon square Pluto
You are very passionate, fiery and impetuous. You have strong emotions and react strongly to influences from the environment, you quickly get agitated and sometimes enjoy arguing. You have enormous amounts of inner strength and energy, but are not able to always accumulate it well, that is why you are often prone to being intolerant and impatient or even violent and/or self-destructive (especially if other positions or aspects indicate this). You are eager and explosive, also competitive, not too tactful and sometimes prone to being sarcastic. It is advisable for you to nurture calmness, acceptance and tolerance. It is useful that you do sports or martial arts.
