Moon in Capricorn
The Moon is in detriment in Capricorn: feelings are held, managed and shown late. Needs are for respect, competence and a life that works; the Capricorn Moon comforts itself by getting something done. There is often an early sense of having to be the adult. Warmth is real and expressed through reliability. The work is to let need show without shame, and to be looked after without keeping the ledger.
