My Taurus daughter has a Cappy moon ~ conjunct Cappy Uranus by 1 degree, conjunct Cappy Neptune by 4 degrees, and Saturn in Cappy too, but 15 degrees away from her sun. All residing in her Taurus house, the 2nd. She's a bit of an nightmare for a child right now. But she's also 14. Hoping she's able to bloom gracefully into all her Cappy stuff eventually.

She's very talented musically, and very ambitious in that direction as well. We'll see what becomes of it, I guess.

She is going through a bit of a rough time right now, because of transitting Saturn in Cancer, and she's really starting to test the boundries of authority, namely me. She's also having some serious self esteem issues, and demonstrating symptoms of bulemia (which I beleive she's come to her senses about now), was also starting to "cut" herself, like scratch up her arm for no apparent reason, other than because she felt like it. Hates herself alot sometimes. Looks in the mirror and just wants to throw something at it. Gets depressed and cries because she seems to think she is the most ugly, hideous thing on two legs (she's not).

Yeah, she's having a bit of a rough go right now. I was looking into councilling for her, but she seems to be doing much better now. Her outlook has been quite positive lately. She's made some new freinds, and is starting to feel more accepted in the world. But, she's giving me a hard time now. I guess that's normal for 14, hey?

Anyway, the point of my story...I'm not sure if all that is a result of her Cappy stellium, which includes her moon, but I have a feeling it has alot to do with it, especiallly with the current Saturn in Cancer transit. (which is thankfully, almost passed, but is about to move into Leo, which is going to be harsh for me, starting with my Mars at 1 degree Leo. Egad. I hope we don't kill each other)

I'm thinking it will be quite an eye opener when this generation matures.
I'll be looking forward to updates regarding her music.

It's very strange, but when he is doing things that pamper his body, going to a steam room, sitting in a hot tub or going out for hot chocolate, he feels better about himself and then he will exercise. It's almost as if he needs permission to like himself, and to do that he has to be in the right mood.

His senses are very strong.

I would say bullemia is a tough disease and hard outgrow, especially the psychology. Most girls are bullemic they just hide it. It's a good thing you know about, you two must have a close relationship.

As for the mother issues, that can be true of Moon in the 10th too. My mother's mother wasn't there for her, she had so many children my mother was raised by her older sister. For some reason my mother always felt inadequate next to her sisters, she favored her father-less discipline she said.

Maybe 10th house moons receive more discipline and criticism from mothers? I know my mother was certainly into the discipline but then she is pretty freaky.

Your Moon (mother) is in the sign of the father (capricorn).

It means mother "wears the pants" in the family.

I could see this easly turning up for a single parent who is forced to play both mother and father.

Or a mother who is a strong authority figure- she is the "boss" at her job, perhaps a high ranking position.

(not that that's necessarily what you've done- but that seems to be the most common soultion these days.)

Yes, my kid told me herself that she was making her self throw up after she ate. This was going on for about a week, but then she saw blood in it, and got freeked out and told me. I explained to her what Bulemia was, and that it was a very serious disorder that could put her in the hospital hooked to machines and basically confined to a bed day-in, day-out. I told her that if she's not happy with her life now, how happy does she think she'd be in circumstances like that?
Sternly told her to NOT TAKE HER GOOD HEALTH FOR GRANTED. Emphasised to her that if she doesn't have her health, she doesn't have anything at all, and all her other problems would pale in comparison to a major health problem, which is what that would surely lead to.

She didn't realize that it was a bonified disorder, with a name and everything. She just thought she was out-smarting the food that was making her so-called "fat". She has told several people that she was doing this, including her best friend, and her best freind's mother who she admires very much, and also happens to be a nurse. She got told the same thing that I told her, but with more vivid detail. She has told me that she's going to be ok now, she realizes how stupid that is. If there is one thing that all that earth in her chart is good for, it's that she is an extremely honest person, so I'm inclined to believe her when she tells me that she knows better now. Having said that, I still keep an eye on her after we have dinner...no disappearing to the washroom with icky noises coming out of there. I'm watching very closely for that. Although I'm sure we've nipped it in the bud, that doesn't mean I'm going to be niave about it. I know how insidious eating disorders can be, especially for people who set unreasonably high standards for themselves, such as a strongly Capricorn influenced person may do.

Not ruling out councilling, just taking it day by day. It's been pretty good lately. She's begun drawing again, (she's a wonderful artist...true to her Venusian influences), bringing the guitar home from school lately as well, and making up songs, writing lyrics and inventing melodies to go with them, plus she wants to get back into kick-boxing, which she was doing last year, and showing a great deal of potential in that as well. Her club was actually grooming her to be the next north-american female contender for the championship competitions. (The N.Amer. champ for the last 4 years in a row came from that same club)...this is an activity that suits her Venus in Aries just fine, btw, and they also do yoga at the end of each session, which suits her Mars in Pisces just fine.

Her self-esteem was at it's highest when she was involved in that. It will be good for her to get back into it.

Blah. Oh, Geez. Get me talking about my girl and I can't stop.

every cappie moon i've known was a toughy as a kid with their parent(s) and softens up as they get older. a fire or air rising sign or sun adds sparkle and spunk that disguises the intensity.

it sounds like your daughter is going through a transformation in what she wants for herself. finding new friends can be a nightmare for capricorn moons because we set such hard standards for ourselves and expect at least that level of this in our intimates.

all the best to you and your daughter.

love,

I must say though, that my parents have played a major role in me being me...besides the obvious of course.
I know that no matter what or who, to my father, I am the most beautiful creature to walk this earth.
And no matter what or who, my mother always loves me.
