Moon in Capricorn

17 January 1980, 12:00, Los Angeles, CA, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Zooey 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.
