Compassionate Confrontation

Capricorn/Cancer is the axis of dedicated meaningful work (Capricorn) to create safety, security, and emotional fulfillment (Cancer). The focus this week is on whether or not you’re accessing what you require to do this work. The space. The tools. The support. The discipline.

This is an honest confrontation with where you may be hiding from responsibility, hiding from expenditures, hiding from assertive communication, or otherwise preventing yourself from breaking through old, limiting emotional justifications.

Because Cancer rules the home we grew up in, consider your inherited or trauma-adapted approaches to responsibility, resources, and relationships of give and take. What was demonstrated? Procrastination? Saying yes to everyone? Withholding information or attention? Self-betrayal to be polite? Poverty mentality? Because Capricorn rules your mature adulthood and public reputation, how are you still modeling any of those?

The moon in Capricorn easily prompts stinginess, of any kind. Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is the season kicked off at the winter solstice — literally the shortest day of the year. The earth is frigid, and the intimidating cold dark threatens livelihood and food production. That scene carries through to attitudes of lack, preservation, thriftiness, but also industriousness, resourcefulness, and creative practicality. Capricorn knows how to make the most from the least and make it last. It’s great energy for business and entrepreneurs. When the moon is in Capricorn we’re more discerning about what we spend on. It can be a really productive time where its easier to go into “beast mode” towards a goal. Spiritually, Capricorn grants a whole lot of fortitude. The chores are accomplished, the lean times are persevered through, because there is faith that we are building something meaningful, dependable, long-lasting, and our own.
